Hooray for no-wave day! Lounge Lizards were someone I only very recently got into sadly, despite the fact that I love the Feelies and The Contortions and knew they had the same drummer. They're amazing, I love that cover (I think your use of deconstruction is more fitting in this case) and it gives a great idea of what the band, and the whole no wave scene really, was all about. I hadn't ever heard of the Raybeats before, but the song seemed marvellous to me. And I'm with you on the records, I couldn't imagine paying hundreds of dollars for a record to see it re-released the next year and dropping back to normal price
