If only... if only Robert Mason was instead Robert (pronounced row bear)
Massonne and he wrapped his neck in a wool scarf, wore octagonal
glasses, and had a cigarette dangling from his lips... and he recorded
on the Pole label... man, wouldn't he be the hipster's choice in these
enlightened times? And, sacrebleu!, there's even
a track called 'Pulsar'! Ah, but it wasn't meant to be for our
downtrodden American protagonist. He is Robert Mason, a doppelganger for
any male extra on Fargo, who released this buck bin LP special, only to
be further driven to indignity by having it reissued on CD by Wounded
Bird. No info, no enthusiasm, no nothing. But then again, there is hell
to pay for naming a track 'Air Sauce', now isn't there?
There's
a review in there somewhere. Remember the magazine Highlights at the
dentist's office when you were a kid? It's kind of like that.
