Mom says it’s wrong to play favorites with family, but Uncle Leyland Kirby is my favorite! Uncle Leyland’s always putting out highly acclaimed records as The Caretaker along with ambitious solo work at a prolific rate. All my other uncles just want to watch football and play catch. It’s a bummer. I hate my other uncles.
Just the other day, Uncle Leyland dropped by our house, just to say hi! I was so happy to see Uncle Leyland! But I was even happier when he told me he had a present. He told me that, at that very moment, he was releasing Intrigue & Stuff Volume 2, the second part of his four-part 12-inch series. Then he told me not to tell anybody (but that if I told everybody on the internet then that was okay) the record was available in a limited run of clear 12-inches through his History Always Favours the Winners label.
What I like most about Uncle Leyland is when he tells me stories. He told me a story about the B-side of Intrigue & Stuff Volume 2, about how it was a 20-minute song called “Complex Expedition.” I liked that story a lot, but I wanted to know more about the next two volumes of Intrigue & Stuff. “Well, young man, you’ll just have to wait,” he said. “Those are in, well, various states of construction, but they will be out by the end of the year.” I hate waiting and I hate cliffhangers. But I love Uncle Leyland!
Intrigue & Stuff Volume 2 tracklist:
