Rolling 2008 Vinyl Thread

hahahaha! i was gonna start a new vinyl thread the other day actually.

for the "record":

Rolling 2004 Vinyl Thread

Rolling 2005 Vinyl Thread

Rolling 2007 Vinyl Thread

don't know what happened in 2006!

I got a good turntable for the first time in my life. I have always had really poor ones and when the last one broke I just let it go. The records have been sitting in their cabinets. Then I got some test pressings I had to approve and so I was like "ok, better get a turntable, don't be a dick." I got a Rega P-1. It is so goddamn cool. I got more pleasure listening to music today. fuckin', Black Sabbath Never Say Die on the good turntable sounded awesome, and it's not even that great of an album. And then I got some really shitty news that even a good turntable couldn't fix, but I played a Debussy record anyway. The end.

"I got a Rega P-1."

that's what i just got! well, in october for my birthday. but it still feels new to me.

lousy book and record fair last week, only picked up

michael jackson - thriller
michael jackson - bad
bruce springsteen - born to run

through the mail
sunburned hand of the man - weekend at burnie's

I've been doing a lot better so far this year than last - mainly because I've got a few pay cheques in since a period of joblessness, and I'm in Glasgow now which has a handful of decent places to get records. So, off the top of my head, so far this year I've got

Cliff Richard - Wired For Sound
Big Dish - Satellites
Blur - Parklife (not sure why I did this, I hate Albarn, but theres 2 good songs on there I think, it was £1, and I'm a sucker for moderately recent vinyl in a charity shop)
Harry Nilsson - Skidoo (should be here soon, bought it from eBay)
Beautiful South - Welcome To The Beautiful South
Chic - Real People
Donna Summer - Once Upon A Time
Chic - C'est Chic
Bruce Springsteen - Lucky Town
Michael Jackson - Dangerous
Q-Tip - Amplified
Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis

I think a couple of those might have been '07 - sometime over the holiday period - but I'm not sure which. Actually, looking at the list, it's not too great. There's only a couple I'm still listening to, say, 1 week later, but it's nice just to get back into the habit of buying things. Having lived away from any good record shops, my record collection was looking very, very similar to the way it was when I was in college around 5 years ago.

sunburned hand of the man - weekend at burnie's

is this good? I keep forgetting to try to find the Four Tet produced one

a few days ago in my first vinyl buying excursion of 08 I picked up Psychedelic Horseshit "Magic Flowers Droned" and a used copy of Vangelis "Opera Sauvage"

I haven't gotten to flip through a record store yet this year, but after hearing (and loving) some Sic Alps stuff at the tail end of the year, I mail ordered and just received the following:

Sic Alps - Pleasures & Treasures LP
Sic Alps - Semi-streets 7"
Sic Alps - Strawberry Guillotine 7"
Sic Alps - The Soft Tour in Rough Form 12"
Wooden Shjips - Sol '07 7"

When I do get to the store, I've got my eye out for some of those Aretha Franklin gospel-era records.

I got my 1st vinyl of the year in the mail yesterday. Ulver - Shadows Of The Sun.
I've not even bought anything in 2008, this was pre-ordered the week before christmas.

backwards same firk - true blues & gospel
fahey - vol. 2: death chants...
the braun brothers - cowboy blues (private country boogie rock)
sightings - absolutes

listening also to awesome new double LP comp "Obsession" of international psych/prog 67-72 (i believe.) Biased, cuz it was compiled by my boss, but do check it out ya'll. ULTRA RARE FUZZ MONSTERS START TO FINISH.

got an older Edward Ka-Spel LP from Forced Exposure, a score since it has been out of print for quite some time. we are having our 20th annual record convention here in Eugene on Feb. 10th, I will be buying a lot more vinyl then.

sunburned hand of the man - weekend at burnie's

is this good? I keep forgetting to try to find the Four Tet produced one

don't waste money on the one Four Tet produced, it's awful. I can't believe they let Four Tet mess with their jams, takes out all the spontanity. Bad bad move

Weekend at Burnie's is a bit dissapointing, lots of vocal messing around, not enough wide eyed freeform jams for my taste. it's a good record in a dada sort of way

DMR, feel free to stop by the shop to listen to both Weekend @ Burnie's and the other new LP, limited to 200 I think, on Ecstatic Yod.

I will feel free. You have freed me.

FUCK YOU DON'T PATRONIZE ME

I just moved north of downtown, so my fave spots are now further away. :(

Haven't made the time to swing by yet, but I'm looking forward to my first purchases soon.

claire hamill - october
delta 72 - the r&b of membership
sea and cake - the fawn
tom waits - real gone
three dog night - suitable for framing
mary weiss - dangerous game
quintron - are you ready for an organ solo?
jack-o and the tearjerkers - don't throw your love away

ULTRA RARE FUZZ MONSTERS START TO FINISH

think I need to hear this shit too

it's pretty dope! the only names on it i recognized were Erkin Koray and Os Novos Bahianos.

what other Sunburned LP??

Taste of Never?
http://www.flippedoutrecords.com/sutaofnelpec.html

yes i think that one, guess i got the edition wrong.

oh man I am on a vinyl buying fucking binge now that I got this sweet goddamn turntable

enjoying music more than I have in so long, all these records I hadn't heard in ages, the fun of putting them on...this weekend rules

guys should i pay $48 + shipping for a sealed copy of Sam Rivers' Crystals y/n

i just had my first radio show on the community low-power FM station that maria started on the island. it was fun! *Ten Tons Of Wax* with your host Scott the Custodian. My set wasn't long enough though. I was supposed to play for 3 hours and I only played for 2. I had a set all worked out and I thought it would be plenty long enough. We desperately need new turntables. Using two of my old hokey turntables. One of which went insane during my show and I had to replace it with another one. Next time I'll let people know when I'm on. You can stream it:

http://wvvy.org/

LOTS of people who have shows are playing records. Which is nice. There is some dude who has a cool show and he used to drum for dinosaur jr. i forget his name. he plays a lot of 45s.

oh yeah, and last weekend i got the following:

harry nilsson - nilsson sings newman
grace jones - warm leatherette
mott the hoople - all the young dudes
aha - hunting high and low
steely dan - the royal scam

for 12 bucks. old hippie record store owner laughed at me when i came up to the counter with that stack.

34 dollars total gets you a near mint copy here:

damn dudes gratzi

Listening to "Vance Or Towers," 1975 on A&M. Nice melodic mid-70s pop album, variously calls to mind City Boy, Dwight Twilley, a dollop of Big Star. Lightweight, but with that great 70s production that's hard to resist. They were the prom band in the movie "Carrie," or something like that.

The only vinyl I've got this year was Bun In The Oven 7" by The Runs, a novelty punk single from 1980. German issue with pic sleeve. My wife loves it!

"Listening to "Vance Or Towers," 1975 on A&M."

JEFF YOU ARE MY HERO. i don't know anyone who has even heard that album. i love it to death. and they very much were the carrie prom band. i was obsessed with the album for months a couple years back.

Alessi brothers fans will dig Vance Or Towers. I am totally hot for Alessi Brothers/Barnaby Bye. Hardcore power pop! not for wimps or grandmas.

oh yeah

And Sang Freud, you NEED that Molkie Cole album. Friggin' bizarro pop/rock masterpiece. Vinyl doesn't go for much either. I bow down to that band, seriously.

"let it bring you along" is such a jam. awesome.

bought yesterday @ junk: Songs of the Muskogee Creek. (on Indian House.) It's mostly vocal with some rattle shakin'. Very lulling sort-of polyphonic vocals.

listening:
frederic rzewski - coming together
jon gibson - visitations
marconi notaro - no sub rein dos metazoarios (time lag really does a nice job with their reissues. Usually affordable (that Patron Saints one though, woo, that was like $32 or something.) and they're LEGIT and usually have cool liner notes/inserts.)

2008 has been good so far

Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Which loveless did you get? Should I go after the original issue or one of the reissues? I heard somewhere that the mastering is all gone wrong on the original.

the culture record was priced at 4.99 AS IS, my buddy gave it to me for a buck, cause it was dirty. i cleaned it at home, and it sounds awesome. cross a $25 record off my perpetual ebay watchlist!

'cat people' soundtrack

I scored an original Peter Grudzien "The Unicorn" LP. There's a small deformity on the edge but it does not extend into the grooves, and it plays great. Not cheap, but it's the best excuse I can think of to unload a bunch of rare, and rarely played, records.
I am a happy camper.

Nice one. I haven't bought anything in weeks and probably won't for awhile, either. :(

johnny "guitar" watson - a real mother for ya

are any of his lps good? i love things like that larry williams single he made, but everything else i've heard is just some insane bootsy-esque gold coloured insanity. they all have great titles too (see above).

yeah it's pretty nuts, there's a track on there called 'your love is my love' which sounds like some daft punk, funk, soul hybrid complete with vocoder.

if you like that sort of thing, it's good

I haven't bought anything in weeks and probably won't for awhile, either. :(

I'm in Peru and barring some unlikely flea market score I won´t be buying anything until late March. Still keeping up on this thread, partly because of masochism I think.

dude, i hope you brought a portable turntable. spend all your free time in flea markets and shit looking for peruvian surf singles!

i think the new astral weeks reissue is out, gotta go get that.

btw....this is a long shot, but does anyone on here have a copy of "Mush" by Leatherface they would be willing to part with, sale or trade?

complete list of stuff i traded for:

peter grudzien - the unicorn
dixon brothers volume II
claude casey - pine state honky tonk
the bailes brothers - early radio vol. II
v/a - blue ladies vol. 2 (1937-39)
skillet lickers - old time tunes vol. I
skillet lickers - old time fiddle tunes & songs volume 2
gene clark - white light (original)
big bill broonzy - do that guitar rag 1928-1935 (yazoo)
yo la tengo - president yo la tengo/new wave hot dogs
paris 1942 LP (mo tucker + rick & alan bishop)
dorothy carter - waillee waillee (private acid folk mind-melter. duclimer psych.)
michael chapman - rainmaker

traded a bunch of crap for:

Ornette Coleman/Pat Methany etc - Song X
Tom Tom Club
Squeeze - Singles
Herbie Mann - The Stone Flute
Charlie Parker - 2LP Fantasy Records comp

first time to the record store since my daughter was born 10 weeks ago. picked up:

the chills - brave words lp
the residents - duck stab / buster & glen lp
pebbles vol. 2

yesterday i got

jandek - twelfth apostle
v/a - juju roots (30s-50s african guitar music.)

Just placed an order at S-S for
Los Llamarada "Take the Sky"
A Fames "s/t" "2" and "Police 1000"
Hue Blanc’s Joyless Ones "Arriere Garde"
Der Teenage Panzerkorps "Games for Slaves"
All the A Frames stuff is for my girlfriend for Christmas.
The S/T and 2 are on cd. Scott S. said that A Frames vinyl is still in print and I could find it if I looked around but they are a hard band to google. Guess I'll check the distros.

If the A Frames vinyls are available, I'd imagine that they're from the French pressings Born Bad did a year or so ago. Might help with the search criteria. Recent (last couple months, all new stuff):

Indian Jewelry -- Free Gold
Eddy Current Suppression Ring -- Primary Colors
Muslims -- debut LP
Skull Defekts -- The Drone Drug
Oneida -- Each One Teach One (used & v. cheap!)
Nachtmystium -- Assassins
Love Tan -- Misc. Night Feelings (awesome)
Sex Vid -- Communal Living
Oh Sees -- Peanut Butter Oven EP
Oh Sees/Intelligence -- Mt. St. Mtn. split EP
Harvey Milk -- My Love Is Greater... 2LP reissue
Harvey Milk -- Courtesy and Goodwill... 2LP reissue
Skullflower -- Taste the Blood of the Deceiver
Harlem -- Free Drugs ;-)
George Coleman -- Bongo Joe

i scored this seemingly unknown prestige folk album from 1964 by hamper macbee called "cumberland moonshiner", about which there is very little information available. $1! really excellent.

Oneida -- Each One Teach One (used & v. cheap!)
Very nice. One of the best records of the last ten years. It makes so much more sense in the double lp format than the double cd. The band I used to play in is playing the Oneida fest that is happening this weekend at the Knitting Factory. Meanwhile, I'll be taking the GRE.
Life is funny.

A Fames "s/t" "2" and "Police 1000"
^^they still have these on vinyl??? how much?

The Police 1000 is a seven inch and it was four bucks. S/T and 2 are on cd, I mentioned that in my post, but they were only five bucks. As I said, present for my girlfriend who grew up in Seattle. I just searched for A Frames + Born Bad, as suggested by Contenderizer up there, but I only found the LP's at one place listed for 18 euros, eff that.

We MIGHT still have those Born Bad represses in stock at the store. I think they're pretty pricey ($20 maybe?) but the shipping would be less. I'll get back to you guys if we have any of 'em.

Yeah, awesome, I would totally buy them.

(I'm not at work today, so i'll let you know tomorrow.)

yeah dude keep me posted. love the a-frames

i think i can record vinyl using my new roland edirol using the line in. if it works it's gonna be sweet.

Oh, and weird-ass, SUPER-crepey French doom/prog/artmusik album called Les Morts Vent Vite by Shub-Niggurath. A bunch of French weirdos circa '86, apparently. Bought it 'cuz it was cheap and I'd never seen it, and 'cuz the cover art is AMAZING (glowy-headed skeleton knight on wild-eyed black stallion abducting willowy virgine by moonlight). Music is kinda amazing, too: harsh, dense, ultra-abstract prog with sheetmetal noize guitar and absolutely elephantine bass morass. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes doomy, sometimes carnival crazy. One of the scariest records of its kind I've ever heard. Univers Zero territory, but out-hysteries Hysterie. On the other hand, marred by operatic, nonsensical (Zeuhl-style) female vocals, and a bit too hilariously HIGH-ART overall to take seriously.

Kinda loved it, but sold it almost instantly cuz it turns out ppl will pay a LOT for it.

...Vent VONT Vite...

got Bohannon " south african man' lp for $4 yesterday at a book shop. Don't really know much about the dude...but a song called 'Rap on Dj' from 74 peaked my interest. pretty hyped to get my stereo working now after searching and reading about him here

Les Morts Vent Vite by Shub-Niggurath

pretty amazing record. for me it beats out univers zero by a mile, and most of the post-magma zeuhl-y stuff too. mutant-sounds posted a pretty crazy LP a while back that was four other projects by the members of s-n.

JT IV - cosmic lightning (FUCKING AWESOME)
animal collective/black dice - wastered 12"
v/a - music and dances of occidental africa
v/a - texas/mexican border music vol 1 (saw ian mention it in here, not feelin it too much on a cursory listen)

wavves - s/t
maureen tucker - life in exile after abdication
sex vid - communal living (so so so good, best thing ive heard of theirs)
sad horse - MS records north portland 7" series vol 2 (good)

on the way:
der TPK - games for slaves
the sneaky pinks - loner w a boner 7"

JT IV - cosmic lightning (FUCKING AWESOME)

isn't it? anyone know where i can actually purchase a fucking copy? "out of print at label," my local only got one copy for a guy who works there, blah blah blah. pretty lame when it's easier to download something than buy it a week after it comes out.

imho the JT IV record has a couple jams but is largely forgettable, and the VU cover is downright awful.

check near the bottom of the page for new releases 11/17/08 on the other music mail order page

If you've had no luck getting the JT IV, GottPunch, I put one aside for you. E-mail me and I'll hook it up if you need one.

i never saw it here at the store and they usually get drag city stuff.

got the bachs reissue on void today. used to have the vinyl reissue that came out a zillion years ago, but i must have sold it. got two albums of rare 20's red nichols and miff mole sides. they rule. and i bought a used copy of the first trans am album. cuz i like trans am. and i no longer have the cd.

why oh why do i keep staring at that fancy deluxe copy of the last earth album? i'm such a sucker. so pretty though...

(i haven't even heard the album either. i'm gonna help out at the store on friday. i might have to get it...)

I've not been buying many records cos I'm saving for my trip to LA next month but have got these:

cop shoot cop - any day now 12"
ashley von hurter & the haters - s/t 10"
see see rider - she sings alone 12"

From the 50p bin:
joan jett & the blackhearts - I love rock'n'roll 7"
split - carpet bombers for peace + conflict - salt in the wound 7"

And from the band last night (yeah whatever, I like them)
vivian girls - wild eyes 7"
vivian girls - tell the world 7"

What's the Bachs LP like, Scott? I'd been looking for discussion about it elsewhere around here, but no luck.

oh yes im interested in that bachs talk too

So it seems the pound has finally gone so far beyond shite that it's becoming nearly impossible to buy any US vinyl. I've bought two or three thing in the past few weeks, thinking 99 cents is cheap for an album, but then the shipping just kills any notion of a steal. And new stuff? Forget it! It's just so frustrating that so much stuff is typically only offered by US sellers.

Ho hum.

Recent UK finds...
Jowe Head - Pincer Movement
Rose Tattoo - Rock n Roll Outlaws
Wild Stares - All We Want 7"
Tyrannosaurus Rex - Unicorn/Beard of Stars double LP
Tyrannosaurus Rex - first two albums double LP
Vanilla Fudge - Near the Beginning

the bachs album is great. some people consider it one of the GREATEST garage rock albums of all time, but i don't know if i'd go that far. they are one of the few garage/party bands from that time to record an album of all original material and the songs are very cool. the cheapo production with the massive echo is pretty hypnotic, especially on their slow bummer tracks with the awesome jangly guitars. still, they were a band that definitely could have benefited from a big label studio budget. i can't help but wonder what the songs would have sounded like with added harmonies and rock studio touches.

when oh when will someone reissue those 1st 2 A-Frames singles, to say nothing of the LPs...

"Radiation Generation" is the best KBD-style blowout I have heard this decade.

Shub Niggurath iz also the bestest.

FUUUCK YOU I CAN BUY TONS OF OTHER COOL SHIT FOR $55

COLD SUN: Dark Shadows LP + 10" (RFR 030LP) $55.00
2nd pressing now available of the deluxe vinyl version. Packaged in a luxury
foldout cardboard cover, like Dragonwyck, Phantasia or Mystic Siva, and
contains an extra 10" bonus record and an extended booklet/insert with liner
notes by Jello Biafra plus rare photos and other surprises. 10"
tracklisting: A1. "Live Again"; B1. "Mind Aura."

cold sun is like the doors with more fuzz guitar.

but is it worth $55? somehow I have my doubts.

yeah man, i wouldn't pay that much for it. i'm sure you can find it on a blog somewhere to check out & see if it's your speed. not for meeeee.

Don't think Cold Sun is really all that Doorsy. It's quite a grower, and hard to peg. Think you'd like it, Ian. Fuck $55 for pretty much anything though.

this thread RIP
