Oooh, I'm enjoying this more now.
Yes, The Doors are horrible self-indulgent nonsense.

I like some self-indulgent music but it has to be done right.

I don't like the Doors, but I love Can. I don't think there's an upper-cap on how self-indulgent something can be unless it's ridiculous in concept---and I suppose what defines that is entirely subjective to each person. Nonetheless, I'd rather have people who are making music entirely for themselves rather than machines spouting out the same garbage that has been spoonfed to people for decades.

You just described prog. What's wrong with being self-indulgent?

Phallus Dei didn't do much for me. I try so hard with Krautrock, but it just won't take.
Love Wolf City from ADII though, that is a great album. Probably my favorite kraut album.

I had the same problem. Stop trying, give it a long break, then return to it after a while and see if your opinion's changed. Krautrock never attracted me much either, but I didn't listen to Can for a long time, and I just started listening to them this past week and it blew me away. But now that means I have to get other stuff.

Jeweled Turtle, Arthur, Elsie and Frances and King Lindorm are great. I'm not so keen on the two Twisted Stems and I cannot remember what The Planks is like.

Yes yes. Do so.
You need to give Elixirs more love.
It's better than you think it is but not as good as Black Oni.

Yeah, Elixirs needs some more plays. I'm sure something will click one of these days. Rob: does your wife run a small daycare or something?

Oh poo.
I lied.
It wasn't TouchMaPhal I hated so much.
It was I Want the Sun to Shine.
Listening to Phallus Dei on Spotify.
