I actually like Screaming Blue Messiahs a lot. (First album at least -- second one isn't bad.)
And I just realized there actually is a band with a late '80s LP in yesterday's record convention pile who I wouldn't think it crazy at all to compare to Steely Dan. But they're not Microdisney; they're Was (Not Was).

Almost all! Several of the most recent finds are still sinking in, though. And I'm still on a fence about that Tracy Nelson album that Christgau gave a C- to.
Favorites so far: KC & Sunshine, Mandel, Kaleidoscope, Martinez, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, War, Rheingold, Foxes (esp. the very disco-metal side 3 w/ Angel and Keith Forsey), Material, Rex, Schnazz, Skyy, Stanley Band.
NY R&R Ensemble isn't nearly as heavy as their followup from 1970, so that's definitely kinda disappointing. And I'm regretfully starting to realize I respect Dick Gaughan's Socialist-leaning Celtic folk more than I actually enjoy listening to it. (I've got 2 albums by him, both live -- Not sure I've ever even heard a studio one.)
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link
Er...SCOTTISH folk, I meant.
Horslips are the Celtic ones. Music if not vocals on the album I just got sounds sufficiently Tull-like so far; seems like it could use more Lizzy, though (compared to the stuff by them I've liked most in the past; e.g., "Sure The Boy Was Green" off Aliens.)

Went to the big record show this morning. Got three interesting political LPs, all sealed and all $5 from a guy I worked with 30 years ago (in a record store, where else?):
LBJ in the CatskillsPortrait of Adlai Stevenson (long interview from '56; the LP came out in '60)Eisenhower
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41kAAXWSGfL.jpg
Haven't played them yet, so I don't know if the last actually has Nixon on it, or just someone reading his words.
Also: The Best of Ronnie Dove ($5), The Very Best of Del Reeves ($4, sealed), Matthew Sweet's Sunshine Lies ($10, but still sealed and a double), and a few $2 CDs. Among the latter, Final Damnation, which I thought was a best-of from the track listing (pointless in any case, seeing as I already have a two-LP Damned compilation), but turns out to be a live reunion show from '88. Even at $2, I nominate this as the most ill-advised purchase in the entire history of recorded music.

Nice. Do you stick to $1 stuff, xhuxk, or did you get any pricier finds at the record show? Last one I went to the only $1 stuff I saw was 45s, but this is California...

I don't even look at more-than-a-dollar stuff. Don't want to be tempted!

Kathy Dalton – Boogie Bands & One Night Stands (Discreet 1974)
"Cannibal Forest" is the highlight here, imo. 40 years on it still sounds good.

I've been curious about that album (Kathy Dalton) for a while. Anything at all like Daughters of Albion?

Bought a record collection that was mainly comprised of excellent-to-dreary mid-70s boogie rock (T-Rex & ZZ Top to Status Quo and some of the Pretty Things' lesser efforts) plus a few outliers. The big surprise for me was The Only Ones - I'd never heard them before & they're great!

I'm not familiar with daughters of albion, but if it's an English folk thing (Albion in the name, gotta be, right?) then no.
And yes, The Only Ones are great!
