QUICK! What's on the turntable RIGHT NOW? (2010 Edition)

http://www.vinylsanctuary.com/stjohn.jpg

now playing: aoxomoxoa

how much do i love doin' that rag? a lot.

i sold my st john green album years ago and i don't really regret it but i do love that cover. never captivated me as far as fowley freakiness goes.

do i need to own a copy of hooteroll? i don't think i've ever heard it. got a copy here. i'll play it next.

nice dead day skot!

yeah that St John Green album is pretty underwhelming. that cover definitely doesn't deliver on what it promises..

how was Hooteroll? i've often wondered if I need Kingfish. I'm lukewarm on Bobby too but that does have "Lazy Lightnin"/"Supplication" so i imagine i will own it at some point.

the kingfish album is...ugh...i had to take it off. i tried. i really did. i don't think i need to own the hooteroll album. it's okay. it has "funky" moments. in quotes. it's not bad. the dreamier stuff is nice. i mean, jerry is good. jerry was solid in the studio. jerry owns in general, but listening to aoxomoxoa its really amazing how much he owns that album. that album is almost all him. its an artistic peak, i think. vocally and as a musician. as an interpreter of those songs. i'm kinda stoned right now though.

meanwhile, if you guys see this for a dollar, pick it up:

then reading about her and was reminded that she and tom waits were an item, so pulled out this. fitting that i just found out an old fling is now a burlesque dancer.

saw chuck e post something about her the other day

well, she did write a hit song about me! (but i've never liked much after her debut. maybe i should re-buy pirates if i see it for $1, though. that 10-inch mostly covers EP was really disappointing.)

asked her the story and it was actually chuck's bass player and she didn't even remember him, so not that great of a story i guess.

tony dolan - cry the beloved country

(early 60's right-wing protest folk record. with liner notes by william f. buckley, jr! i kinda love it. or maybe i just love the novelty of an acoustic folk song that disses joan baez.)

fun fact: alvin lucier was maria's music teacher in college.

whoa! at brandeis? im epically stoked to visit the mills labs out here in oakland sometime. my friend is taking pre-optometry classes there, and has befriended a couple music people, so i really really wanna see the facilities and synths.

of course my joke after she told me that was: "Did he repeat himself a lot?"

hahahahaha! i'm so funny.

<rim job>

no, at wesleyan.

nice on the George Freeman, scott! big Chi-town fave. cover on my copy of 'Man & Woman' looks different but same general image. his earlier stuff is probably best -- 'Birth Sign' on the amazing Delmark label. and then his Groove Merchant debut 'New Improved Funk', the first cut is like 2 minutes long but it sounds like Can! I love George. used to go see him down the street at Fred Anderson's Velvet Lounge until George seemingly just dropped off the scene altogether.

Jimmy Spheeris -- I'm a decent fan of 'Isle of View'. but, for whatever reason, I never explored any of the stuff after that. I will definitely try to find the next couple columbia ones he did.

'The Cowboy and the Lady' -- this is a good example where I own the CD and not the LP.

I bought the Smells Like CD reissue to get "You Turn My Head Around" -- seriously one of the GREATEST PSychedelic traxxs of all-time.

However there have been opposite examples. Like forever I had a copy of Randy California's 'Kapt Kopter and the Twirley Birds' album. and then I learned that there was actually a non-LP single around the same time. A *and* B side. so I sought that shit out and bought it on eBay. Then of course years later all the Kapt Kopter stuff comes out on a CD. But as far as the Margret/Hazlewood stuff it was all new to me at the time so I lept for that CD that included the 45 on it...
