kitsch of distinction. apparently, something david toop wrote for the wire back in 1994 about the re/search books incredibly strange music. i quite enjoyed the david toop book exotica. but there was someting about this that sort of annoyed me, but i can't quite put my finger on it. maybe i'm just the wrong audience for this, as it seems like it's written for those clueless to this type of music, or who only listen to mainstream rock, or indie rock(which sometimes seems like the same thing to me). via the exoticalist.
