To-do list prioritization failure

How is it I managed to avoid knowing how great Stereolab were during the 90s, when they were all still alive? I've been listening to "Dots And Loops" and "Sound Dust" and I love this stuff. It's not like I hadn't heard of them - they were just on a long list of stuff that I planned maybe to get around to listening to sometime. Now I realize I shouldn't have left it until 2005. Oh well... better late than never, eh?

Aurra

The complicated history of Aurra, Slave & Steve Washington. Someone posted a 2-disc Aurra anthology to the R&B MP3 group*  and I ended up having a nostalgia trip for that late 70's/early 80s Ohio/NJ funk. These guys really do not get enough credit compared to more cartoonish funksters like Parliament/Funkadelic & Cameo, IMO.
