< Paul Kirsch asks for Swans discography >

That's right, you should never be *too* happy. :-) I'm still trying to
figure out whether or not I like the Swans. Sometimes they make me feel
like my face had been rubbed in a rough grimy sidewalk and stomped on
by hordes of people slamming to Big Black, and I think Swans are the 
greatest. Sometimes I listen to the monotonous thump-whack-bam and go:
"This is wild stuff but it gets pretty old." Anyway, here's a Swans 
discography:

Swans ('82 ep)		(uncharacteristic dancey stuff, yuck)

Cop (lp)
Filth (lp)
I Crawled (ep)		(these 3 are slooowwww and agonizing)

A Screw (12")
Time is Money (Bastard) (12")	(danceable but nasty; Sealed in Skin is slow)
Greed (lp)
Holy Money (lp)		(very accessible stuff, nice but not their best)

(1 bootleg lp)
Public Castration is a Good Idea (double-live boot, very slow and painful)

Also check out the superb Swans video, A Long Slow Screw.

There's also a pre-Swans tape which I will try to steal from John Reninger
sometime :-).
