I traded for some nice free jazz LPs today.

got:
art ensemble - certain blacks
marion brown - afternoon of a georgia fawn
cecil taylor - conquistador!
revolutionary ensemble - vietnam

i traded in maybe six records, and the dude gave me more than i expected for them. so i got those. woo.

and i, peter, haven't heard Brown Rice or Eternal Rhythm, so I can't compare! Mu is stripped down duo stuff with a lot of exotic instrumentation and ed blackwell just killing it.

oh and YESTERDAY, i got
v/a - reefer madness (Stash records comp of illicit substance themed jazz & blues of the 20s & 30s)
nurse with wound - soliloquy for lilith

of and the NWW is not the boxed set version but the single LP issue of parts V/VI.

yesterday picked up:

guided by voice - propeller (reissue)
philip glass - dance pieces
justin hinds & the dominos - jezebel (ace old school roots reggae shizz)

bach goldberg variations / George Malcolm: Harpsichord Record One

Linda Lewis "Lark" beautiful acoustic hippy soul album from 1972 that got sampled on a Midfield General record in the 90s that I've been after for ages.
Holger Czukay "Movies" and "On the Way to the Peak of Normal"

I downloaded one or two Linda Lewis tracks last week, actually. Really nice stuff, and not what I was expecting at all. I'd always seen it in my Dad's collection, but presumed it to be some Linda Ronstadt type thing rather than being soulful Minnie Ripperton stuff. And that track 'Frame' sounds remarkably contemporary. I can imagine some singer-songwriter-y chick doing it. (not intended as a diss, of course!)

wilter

ha ok.

i have a few pals who are absolutely nuts over that Eddy Current Suppression Ring LP. Like, really nuts.

Yesterday I got a Glenn Gould/Bach LP. "Two & Three Part Inventions." Nice.
I also got "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" on Yazoo, and finally a copy of that Cowboy LP that Scott's always raving about.

the new Fucked Up is really good. even though p-fork makes me feel like a douche for liking it.

"and finally a copy of that Cowboy LP that Scott's always raving about."

which one!?

remember to post here when you are done listening:

IAN, WHEN WILL YOU KNOW THE JOYS OF CAPRICORN RECORDING ARTISTS *COWBOY*????

Eddy Current Suppression Ring sound like the Saints a lottt.

see, now i don't want to hear them. i thought with that name that they were gonna sound like sonic boom or e.a.r. or something.

yeah me too

if you said they sounded like skyhooks i might have been more excited:

can't believe i found this at the dump today:

http://popsike.com/pix/20080704/300239150755.jpg

not a rekkerd you see every day. and it's pricey too. got a double lp copy of xtc's apples and oranges or lemons and oranges or whatever it is too. and an old cassette copy of buckingham nicks album for the boombox.

i knew i should have bought a couple copies of that robert plant and alison krauss record! i see they are going for $100+. i don't really want to sell my one and only copy though.

hey skot just just i don't think you saw the thread i bumped but is "spirit of 67" by paul revere and the raiders worth $5? is that "good one"?

oh wow yeah it's an amazing album.

sweet i'll have to go back to the antique store...was one of those classic antique store record section...everything is five bucks no matter if it's super rare and good condition or a beat to hell copy of rumours

headed to NC wed-sun, buying as much of my boss's old indie collection as he'll allow, hittin the local shops and the carrboro record show. ill be excited to update here on monday!

V/A - Fight On (new Mississippi comp)

rrr, i schlepped downtown to buy this from other last night to find out they'd run out. bummer. does anyone know anywhere else in nyc that does it? i think the williamsburg place that isn't academy or earwax does ms stuff sometimes.

how is it?, anyway?

Forced Exposure just mailed it today, don't know yet but I assume it is a dozen different kinds of AWESOME.

williamsburg academy has fight on LP.

crystal stilts - alight of night
magnetic fields - get lost

just ordered irma thomas sings and the fight on comp via FE

my friend & neighbor is responsible for the screening of those crystal stilts covers. i don't get the hype about those guys tho.

one of those records where in my head I know it's pretty derivative and unoriginal but in my gut I just really like listening to it. I've been playing it a bunch. love that little organ riff on the song "crystal stilts."

as far as hype, kids be liking the latest joy division / mary chain / vu buzz band shockah :)

the whole album is a little samey, but it's samey in a way that i dig and will work well on my garage rock dj night i figure. nice cover!

Failing in my search for the Videodrome OST LP.

In the meantime...
Grow-Up - The Best Thing (Object Music)
V/A - Emergency Room (Vancouver scene punk comp)
Animals and Men - Never Bought, Never Sold (autographed!)
Pylon - Gyrate
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

i give fight on... a B-. ive been listening a lot more to the animals and men comp.

fuck your punk rock.

Damnit credit card, arrive already! I have important money to waste!

williamsburg academy has fight on LP.

aaaa so cool, i'll drift in tomorrow and pick one up. i've only looked around academy a couple of times and felt like i couldn't take it all in or decide what roland kirk to get.

i picked this up, it's terrific. the first side especially - kinda more other-worldly than a lot of blues comps, with beautiful guitar solo and slide playing and great solo delta stuff. sign of judgement's beautiful.

i don't know if this is true of other people, but i have a way of willing records to appear when i need them. it has happened over and over for years. stuff i would never see in a million years i would find right after thinking about how i needed them. that fotheringay thread made me sad cuz i gave up my nice copy years ago for some daft reason. (traded it? ebayed it? i can't remember.) anyway, i thought to myself, aw man, i need that album NOW. so, i went to the record store and there was a box of records on the floor and there just happened to be a perfectly perfect copy of the album in the box and it was the ONLY album i wanted in the box. the rest was poop. voila! i mean, it looks unplayed. american stock copy, but what the hell...and i hadn't been to the store in weeks.

got great jazz records too. so much fun playing them all week:

bud powell trio featuring max roach (roost) (just boggles my mind and i can't stop playing it.)

thelonious monk - monk's blues (columbia)

freddie hubbard - backlash (atlantic)

thelonious monk - monk's moods (prestige) (soooo amazing)

bud powell - jazz giant (50's verve reissue of an album originally on norgran. stii hard to find even in its verve incarnation)

lennie tristano - s/t (atlantic) (also way hard to find and just bonkers and friggin' great.)

donald byrd - free form (blue note) (love this record so much. so nice to have a good copy of it. made my month. "french spice" KILLS me. so goddamn beautiful.)

gerry mulligan quartet - s/t (world pacific) (amazing sound on this. and everyone sounds great. chet, chico, everyone.)

hot dance obscurities 1926-1930 (jazz studies)

who are some of the artists on that last one??

i need more bop in my life also.

I've been listening to neverending pre-war piano blues. Lots of stuff on the RST & Document labels--those lovable black & white blues reissues. We got maybe fifteen, different tites in of old stock. Arhoolie used to distribute a lot of these (which were usually european in origin--Austrian, German) and has stock on some titles. We also got a bunch of stuff on the Folklyric label, which I've been really into. Early Hawaiian, Irish-American, Ukrainian-American, Cajun, Texas-Mexican, etc. And Cliff Carlisle vol. 2 on Old-Timey! One of the best blue yodelers, and a much finger guitarist than Jimmie Rodgers. But the piano blues stuff is almost painful. Because it's all "pretty good" to "great" and there's so much of it, that by the end of the third side I've just had enough, and am not enjoying it as much anymore.

My head hurts.

"finger guitarist" should be "finger guitarist" fwiw. carlisle was often billed as "hawaiian" depending on where he was playing.

9 of the 15 items I ordered online aren't in stock. Forced Exposure, why must you break my heart?

People who are familiar with Forced Exposure, the records they didn't have in stock are all from 2007 or 2006 (there are pretty much just techno 12"s). Does this mean they're probably not going to get it in stock ever again? Does it make sense to start choosing out replacement items?
