New GRACK! “Round Dance”

Okay, it’s posted, and the title is “Round Dance.” Oh, I said that already. Well, here’s a quotation that only hints at what you’ll find.

I’d relocated a tape of a dramatic rock & roll album by Tonio K. called “Life in the Foodchain” that went absolutely nowhere in 1978, but once again it shook my world.
