A friend recently gave me some belated birthday presents, what with me being MIA that weekend. Presents came in the form of 3+1 CD's from a joint called www.cdbaby.com (dig), who apparently hawk independent albums.

Just finished listening to one entitled "Bio-Tek," which I like...a decision completely uninfluenced by the fact that they do a cover of Placebo's "Pure Morning". Honestly.

(Erg...what I wouldn't give to do *that* in karaoke, savvy?)

To be a bit more detailed on the subject, I will say that Bio-Tek's a lot better than some of the industrial garbage I've been forced to listen to at clubs in the past. Also, ya gotta love the title of the album, "Punishment for Decadence." *Tres* stylish, though not brilliantly inspired. Another bonus point in this album's favour: I could probably fuck to it. (Laugh if you will, but these things are important...)

anyway, next up, Twisted Pair: The Old and the New...It's Inside You
