I Love Vinyl! Recent Haul/Score/Purchase Thread (2010)

lighthouse, automatic writing & that ali farka toure records are all some of my faves.
glad yer enjoying conquistador! i like it, but i jut want to listen to smooooooth shit now.

tony joe white - black and white (stoked as i was just listening to the cd of this yesterday)
Ciccone Youth (w/o the cover and i'm not really even into SY anymore, but it was a buck so said fuck it. actually looking forward to listening to it now after reading about it)
Etron Fou Leloublan - Les Sillons de la Terre
paul hardcastle - rain forest 12"
and a bunch of dollar records. some new wave, some new age, some jazz.

mason proffit - wanted! (surprised there's no discush of these dudes on the country-rock threads.)

always wondered if they had other songs besides "Two Hangmen." that track was one of those weird "local favorites" that inexplicably always got played on classic rock radio when I was growin up (KSHE-95 St. Louis Missouri)

Etron Fou Leloublan - Les Sillons de la Terre

this is v v good iirc

Walter Carlos - Switched On Bach

Blade Runner FAKE ost - doh thought it was the vangelis one but i looked closer now and it looks like it's going to be like an orchestra redoing the vangelis stuff : (

Matt Llama - The Witch Channel - hairy scary improv/jazz/prog/psych/parts that sound like cluster, etc pretty ace...my store's been getting lots of weird limited edition hand screen printed shizz like this and i liked the artwork...pretty great actually

Bob Dylan - Infidels

Vermonster - Instinctively Inhuman - can't wait to listen to this...weird ass hand drawn black and white cover, 12 inch with only 2 songs - one is a 16+ minute version of Black Sally by Dennis Wilson, the other side is 20+ minute song called "Stoned Guitar".....from 1991, on a label called "Twisted Village" listed as a PO box in Windham, CT....vanity press I guess...

Twisted Village is the label run by Wayne & Kate of the band Major Stars! Also they're both in Vermonster. And they have a store in boston called Twisted Village, but they were orig based in CT.

kate grew up in danbury. she knew my brother before either one of them were, um, superstars.

or major stars even.

Blade Runner FAKE ost - doh thought it was the vangelis one but i looked closer now and it looks like it's going to be like an orchestra redoing the vangelis stuff : (

lol I made that same mistake. it's not very good

yeah it sucks, really gloppy bad pops orchestra type arrangements with some corny synths

of course head heritage has a blurb on vermonster, which has proven to be pretty brain melting! good score for $9

lol @ "I"m sure Thurston Moore has all their records."

He was in the shop yesterday, bought some expensive Harry Partch LPs and some other thang off the wall I can't remember now.

btw i bet ian and skot would like this matt llama record

is it matt llama? or matta llama? i do like what record of theirs i heard. roger adultery put one out a few years back! and then were was a newer one.

slowed down a bit, trying to take everything in, but thanks for the tip on the Desperate Bicycles LP. still available apparently.

some others...
new Nudge Squidfish LP on Columbus Discount
Son of Earth - Pet
Beast (Cotillion)
Crash Worship - ¡Pyru! - first thing I've heard by these dudes, who i presumed them to be more rewarding live than on record, but 'Pyru Sodium Di Hexaride Dub' is awesome

also bought some back issues of Flipside and Black to Comm

oops yes it is "matta" llama, my bad...

Spencer from Matta Llama is playing in a new band tonight with Dave Shuf0rd from NNCK and J1mmy from ps1chic 1llz; i think i will go cuz it's near my house.

i think i'm gonna send my girl to academy when she's in nyc for a business trip, see if she can score me some good shit.

hit cheapo today:

paul simon - graceland (highly contoversial vamp weekend thread made me wanna hear this again)

alice cooper - easy action - brand new reissue of it, was only $12! cheap and it's not 180 gram but a real good sounding pressing, which is nice cuz i hardly ever see the original pressings of the zappa ones around...as i suspected alice is a genius on this too

linval thompson - linval - has all the marks of a good reggae record: sly and robbie + other name type dudes on the backing band, mixed by king tubby, and really shitty quality cardboard cover and kinda wonky layout

black arthur blythe - bush baby - lol never seen him billed as "black" arthur blythe on anything else, but anyway this is his pre major label shit, sax, conga, and tuba trio....honestly blythe might be up there with any of the greats for me and his stuff is always plentiful and super cheap on vinyl...guy is one of my fav sax players ever, whadda guy.
