Can't catch a break. Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, one of the best bands of the '90s, breaks up after releasing three increasingly bland pseudo-folk albums. Then Mr. Childs risks it all and goes solo, whereupon he releases a half-finished album called Chops that no one buys. Then he follows up his failure with two album releases in one year: the Welsh-language Bore Da, one of 2007's best releases; and The Miracle Inn, an album that could've used another year of work.
