What Can't You Find On The Internet?

Notoriously a complete tracklisting for the British Now That's What I Call Music albums is not available on the 'net. (Or it might be but I've never found it). What can't YOU find online, and maybe WE can help?

Now that's what I call a website.
I can't seem to find websites that collect articles on art and philosophy. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

Complete historical records for football league clubs. You'd think you'd be able to find out just how Derby County fared in the second half of the 75-76 season, or the details of Everton's thrilling winning sequence early in 80-81, but, somewhere between sites trying to cover everything (that Austrian site with its list of Andorran post-war Cup finals) and club sites maintained by fans (last update: 3-1-97), this info seems lost.

Unless the Barnet Ape's reputation is such that even Australians regularly sacrifice small animals to huge statues of him in the Outback, I fear Toraneko will need to reserve judgment on him until later, dear Mark.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Mark, I do hope you are not suggesting that I have evah evah shaved my legs. They are apelike and hirsuite and will continue to be so. I think you is thinking of the Devil Dastoor - removeing the fur on his goatlike Pan cloven hoofie-woofies.

To Toraneko: Pete = Barnet Ape. Encounters with him directly prove this, usually when lubricated by drink.

I just can't find any pictures of Gunter Netzer when playing for Real Madrid.

Also moving pictures (say Real Video) of Mazinger Z are unfindable.

Re Sam and his quest for Embassy Row tab: I'm fairly sure this was on the magnificent Through The Woods (Everything Paved) page which disappeared about a year ago and has recently returned at http://www.deerspotters.com/pavement/, but there seems to be a server problem there right now. Sigh. I hope it gets sorted, because it was a fine site.

In the meantime, it's part of the zip file of Pavement tabs you can get here (click on "All Pavement Tabs!!"), though it doesn't seem to be available separately. It's only an 84k zip file, so it won't take long to download, but if you'd rather not get the whole zip then let me know and I'll send you the individual file.

The infamous library regulations at a very well-known private school once frequented by a certain contributor to this forum, which haven't been available for universal ridicule and worry about their implications for at least a year.

Also, from what I've seen, full details of exactly which seats changed hands in UK general elections up to 1970, though I might just not have looked hard enough.

Oh yes. What I can't find on the internet = information about reggae artist Ras Ibuna, and what else he's done besides the magnificent Diverse Doctrine + version 7" on Grove records, which I already have. There's a handful of shops selling that and that's about it, as far as I can find. If anyone knows anything else about Ras Ibuna, get in touch, I'd be grateful for the info.

In fact, information on 60s-70s ska and reggae seems to be pretty sparse in general, sadly. I also can't find mp3s of a couple of dancehall tracks I'm looking for, but I should probably stop being a cheapskate and buy them, except I have no idea where I'd buy them.

I'm having one of my intermittent reggae obsessions, as you can probably tell...

Rebecca - there maybe info on Ras Ibuna on the sleeve for Rodigans Roots and Culture Vol 1 - will check tonight. he also did a track called 'Want to Know'. i imagine the rest of their work was under other names - pretty unlikely for any Jamaican artist to just record 2 sides

Rebecca (again) - if you're in London then i recommend Dub Vendor (branches in Ladbroke Grove and S.London, either Brixton or Clapham, I can't remember), Sounds of the Universe (Ingestre Place, nr Selectadisc), and Daddy Kool (downstairs from second hand shop, Berwick St). Daddy Kool aren't as helpful though, and won't play tracks for you, but have a big stock if you know what you want. you're talking Jamaican 7"s for dancehall (between 2.50 and 4.00 each), except for the occasional albums (e.g. Sizzla, Mr Vegas) or the Greensleeves 'riddim' albums (10 tracks all on the same rhythm)

downstairs at Ray's Jazz Shop (Covent Garden) has plenty of 7" represses of JA stuff, and a turntable to listen on

Steady Mike has a point. Lots of Euro info is there, but less League - I think. How about Manchester United's 10-ame run c. late 1985 - does the record stop at game 11?

I can't find a resolution for the www contradiction between Lloyd Cole, on the Lloyd site, saying he loves Robert Quine and they're going for NYC Chinese food next week, and Quine, on the Quine site, saying, "Lloyd Cole just wants to make MOR records for the commercial radio" etc.

Most importantly, I can't find 'Ask And He'll Answer' Nicky D answering my question of a while back, namely: why are there two different versions of the Magnetic Fields' GET LOST LP?

― the pinefox, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Yay! Thank you m jemmeson. I am not in London but I'm just about close enough to go shopping there one afternoon (transport between nearest city and London = cheap, fast and easy, 24 hours a day; transport along the 18 miles of A-road from here to nearest city and back = overpriced, slow and complicated, and stops at 6pm, sigh). I'll try to get to some of the shops you mention at some point.

Do you have to go and buy tracks while they're still reasonably new, or is there a fair bit of back stock? And are the Greensleeves riddim compilations mixed or do they feature full-length tracks? I'm mainly looking for "Money To Burn" (don't know who this is by but it rocks) and Mr Easy's "Crazy", both of which are based on the Buy Out riddim, but I'd be interested in any other Buy Out tracks or, well, anything, really. (Cue lots of dancehall connoisseurs laughing at me - as you can see, I don't really know what I'm talking about at all. I feel far too white and middle-class to say "riddim", as well, but it seems fairly unavoidable.)

Anyway, thanks very much for your help, much appreciated, you rock. And an excuse for a record-shopping trip to the Berwick Street area is always appreciated, even if I haven't dared venture into the non- indie shops before :)
