I've been getting back into the No Wave thing lately. There have been some great compilation CDs of No Wave bands out in the last year. I have NY No Wave and Mutant Disco and there is another that I can't think of the title. I highly recommend them. Nothing quite like Lydia Lunch yowling and screeching with Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. I like to wake up my neighbors with it on a Sunday morning.

And one more obscure band I'll plug. If anyone is a fan of alt-country, cowpunk, whatever you want to call it. The first 2 albums by Rank and File, in my opinion the original cowpunk alt-country whatever, have been released on one CD by Rhino. It's a limited edition and I think it can only be purchased through Rhino, but Amanda Ruth and all of the songs from the first album put me in a state of bliss.
