I do like Phil's new stuff. His music always has this crazy creative edge to it. I like the Swingers and Schnell Fenster stuff as well. I often wonder what Frenzy would have sounded like if he'd actually rejoined like he almost did (I think).
I found this photo a while back when I was researching/studying about medicine shows. A very odd photo. Five men in five masks holding a big book, bottle, box camera and gourd mandolin. It's magical and I love it.
