I'm gonna put any wax to digi mixes/songs/albums that we do on this here thread for people's utter enjoyment. Including the old stuff that was on the sandbox. Starting from the beginning and working my way forward into an uncertain future.

Primarily, this stuff is for the benefit of Maria and the low-power fm radio station she is starting on the island. She is up and streaming at www.wvvy.org and there is already a ton of stuff on there. good stuff too. and she is running democracy now everyday as well. if all goes well, they will plant their transmitter and there will be an honest to gosh community radio station here for people to rant and rave on.

but y'all can listen to my crud too. cuz i wuv ooh.

first thing i put up was the mind-bending and kinda supremely bad/great Womb track from 1969, The Happy Egotist:

Link is sad. :-( Skot -- never have spaces in your file names! Put dashes in there or something similar.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 05:42 (seventeen years ago) link

after that was me and sally jesse raphael and an old tape-deck in 1989. watch how i make sally sing! this is me at my most avant-garde! (this was rescued from an old half-eaten tape. might just be my crowning achievement as a human. oh, right, my kids...)

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 05:59 (seventeen years ago) link

tons of guitars on this mix. tons and tons. mostly 70's stuff:

Tracks - Street Fighting Man (So rare you won't even find it on a WFMU playlist! Seriously, many great songs and albums only exist on the interweb as part of an old FMU playlist. I know, I've checked! Anyway, Tracks were a Boston-based band and they made one triple-album(!!!) boxed set(!!!) in the early 70's of seriously accomplished hard/prog/southern rock jamz and nobody has ever heard it. But now YOU have! A little.)

Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart - It's All Happening On The Inside/Abracadabra/Jumping Jack Flash (The whole first side of Tommy & Bobby's greatest achievment is one long song/suite, so you get three interlocking parts. I've played this at least a hundred times over the years. They are my gods.)

Mandala - Come On Home (Mandala made one late-60's white soul album that yields exactly one song with a guitar solo so sharp and piercing that it will leave you bloody for weeks.)

Noah - Bury The Remains (death-pop piffle. a bit of a breather.)

Glass Harp - Changes (In The Heart Of My Own True Love) (More fireworks. Courtesy of Phil Keaggy,a guitar god if there ever was one. Three amazing albums of powerful prog/hard rock and then Phil was off to do the lord's work.)

Orion - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (*Token Novelty Number* But, you know, with lots of crazy guitars.)

Redwing - Soul Theft (rockage.)

The Gentrys - Stroll On (genius rockage. from a genius album.)

Song - Medicine Man (So hard to pick one song from this album. It's all good. This is the mammoth closer. It has to be the heaviest thing that Curt Boettcher ever had a hand on.)

Circus - Stop Wait & Listen (Local pop-rock band from Ohio makes an album of cool rocking stuff, puts it out on their own label, and then...well, nothing. This one coulda been big. Maybe.)

Terry Brooks & Strange - Mister Strange (This is what cult guitar heroes are made of. From 1980 and released on Terry's own Star People Records.)

Harvey Mandel - Bite The Electric Eel (Noodles! Lots and lots of noodles!)

The Max Demian Band - See Me Comin' Down (Cool Thin Lizzy rip from Herman Hesse obsessed hard rockers.)

Dirty Angels - You Got Me Runnin' (Another great album from an unjustly forgotten band. This thing just keeps on giving.)

A Foot In Cold Water - Yalla Yae (Canucks invent the new wave of british heavy metal years before the fact and don't even break a sweat.)

Valhalla - I'm Not Askin' (Again, hard to pick one song. One of my fave records of all time. Along with label-mates The Damnation Of Adam Blessing, Valhalla were made of greater stuff than most. Now on CD! I think.)

Underground Sunshine - Gimme Some Lovin' (Best known for their Beatles Birthday cover, this is simply 8 minutes of senseless mindless fuzz abuse.)

Thee Image - Show Your Love (Unbelievably over-the-top. A friggin' monument to over-the-top. A word to the wise: always buy a record if someone in the band is wearing a cape on the back cover.)

Really the only thing that needs to be done is to never have full-on blank spaces in the filenames. Then everything is as good as gold.

― passiflora incarnata (get bent), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

i threw caution to the wind by including a 10 minute supertramp disco instrumental on there, but dammit, sometimes you just have to, you know?

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

just have to what, dance?

― be home by 11 (orion), Thursday, 11 January 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

no, not dance, put a song on a mix that you are afraid might ruin things by virtue of its length or possible disco supertramp semi-corniness. i still dig it though. i think it works.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 21 January 2007 23:38 (seventeen years ago) link

anyway, i started a thread about this album-length shaggy seaside ambient psych thing the beta band made and were gonna include with their first album but didn't and nobody had ever heard it, so here that is direct from casette:

loved the 80s Rock Box! And the 'tramp was one of the highlights!

btw, discogs.com sa: Estrellita El Mix is 1989, Full Beat et al is 1988 and Slammin' the Rock appeared on a coupla 1990 comps (but could be '89 I s'pose)

― zebedee (zebedee), Monday, 22 January 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

say yeah! is on the warlock warparty comp which came out in 1990, but i just figured that the actual track pre-dated the comp appearance. warparty is seriously one of my favorite records. it never gets old.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 22 January 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link
