I Love Vinyl! Recent Haul/Score/Purchase Thread (2010)

, and no lookup? as Otis sang ... pain in my heart ;_;

I know. I know. We we there for a wedding with a big crew. I def thought about it. Deej and I texted a few times but never saw each other. it was just impossible with all the things to do and people to wrangle.

it's all good, been there for sure ... still love u boo

i still plan to impose on u and wifey whenever I get out to SF :)

actually ... quite frankly I'm curious where u got those scores!!

Ya def. Come hang with me, Jerry and Janis. Got the first 5 at dusty and last 3 at k.starke.

noice. will do

dusty is usually pretty rad in terms of selection. its the prices that often make me balk :(

Got the Fotheringay album today and a scratchy original copy of the Leaves Hey Joe album for a dollar.

in pasadena this weekend with BLAM and friends, hit amoeba in hollywood for a lil bit:
felt -- the splendor of fear
burton greene trio live in concert (ESP)
the cure -- seventeen seconds
guvner's earl grey tea 7" (first guv'ner record, a real bargain at $1.99!)

superchunk -- the question is how fast 7" ($1.99)
superchunk -- ribbon 7" ($1.99)
pavement -- father to a sister of thought 7" ($5.99, but oh well)

annie found the first emmylou harris LP, gliding bird, and a $1.99 copy of our favorite barbara manning 7", "b4 we go under" (written specially for barb by the bats dude, which all goes nicely with the upcoming clean/barbara manning show in SF in october!!)

might try and hit atomic in burbank (which i would certainly call BRBank if i lived in LA) before we fly home tomorrow...

finally found a clean copy of john & beverley martyn "stormbringer" the spine is almost totally wrecked but it was affordable and the vinyl is nice.

also recently I got a private press record by Kevin McGrath, "Hats off To Contradition." A folky thing but pretty oddball songs. lyrical concerns include tying your woman up with rope, going to a baseball game with jesus, reading ed mcbain novels, and dying alone.

man my local store had so much good stuff come in...

Zappa - Roxy & Elsewhere (maybe my favorite FZ)
Incredible String Band - 5000 Spirits
ditto - Wee Tam (both gold label Elektras)
Salt & Pepa - Spinderalla's Not A Fella/Shake Your Thang
ditto - Tramp/Push It

and oh man did that Japanese Polydor pressing of Eno's Another Green World look nice, no $ left though.

spent some credit i'd built up--

jeremy doormouse s/t (void reissue)
joah gilberto s/t (brazilian polydor)
country joe & the fish - feel like i'm fixin' to die (with boardgame)

big borother & the holding company s/t (ugh, the stereo on this kinda sucks)
clean living - meadowmuffin
the captain matchbox whoopee band - smoke dreams (obscure late ESP)

those last two were freebies from the 2/$5 bin. etta james has a few scuffs.

^^ want

In Memphis (all from Shangri-La cuz Goner didn't ever open the day before labor day, the lazy punks)
Ty Segall - Melted
Girls of the Gravitron - s/t
The Breakaways - uh, what is this called? buncha demos. Felt stupid for buying it when I got it home but I listened and I like it.
ZZ Top - Deguello
Univers Zero 1313
Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark 12" (Blaster mix!!!)
Kraan - Andy Nogger (this record fucking rules!)
Bare Wires - Seeking Love
Matthew Melton - Still Misunderstood
Last two were free at a show. Sort of happened into Murphy's just to see who was around and ran into some good old friends.
Bare Wires were okay and they mentioned having a free record. So I asked after the set and dude gave me one. Mentioned that I have a radio show and he gave me his solo lp, too. Haven't listened to that yet, but the Bare Wires stuff is okay.
Kinda creeped out by the post-Jay Memphis/Goner scene, though. Gonerfest looks like it's going to be fucking amazing this year.
Wish I could go.

traded some shit w jaxon:
country funk
robbie basho -- visions from the country
l.a. getaway

gonerfest is a really really good time. the year i went was a strange time, with sic alps and vivian girls and tyvek there right next to the more dyed-in-the-wool garage dudes, which made for an occasionally segmented scene. but like, i liked both mini-scenes anyway. records were plentiful, and i really felt like i was drinking less than almost everyone else in attendance

traded some shit w 69:
bobby brown - live
sff - ticket to everywhere (so much better than the other one of theirs i had. so wanky)
v/a - puget sound guitar workshop (this is really nice. reminds me of how my dad plays)
silvetti - world w/o words

saw ty segall the other night by accident (after party for a big art show). didn't know who they were until they were almost done. thought it was a nirvana tribute band

found some nice 12"s at Amoeba today.

Dam-Funk & Tony Cook - What's On Your Mind
Indoor Life - Sunshine Supermen
Melchior Productions - Let's Go Deep
Afefe Iku - Mirror Dance
Annette - Dream 17

o, i heard stonesthrow was gonna do some sort of tony cook retrospective. what's that record like?

How is Soundsations? I always forget it's there.

oakland w@x!d3rmy swap (only cause it was like 20ft from my office i swear!!)

soft machine -- third (oddly and criminally, though ive owned this cd forever, id never really given it its due. what a totally amazing album)
hood -- silent '88
hood -- structured disasters

I had Silent '88 on cd but I don't know what happened to it.
I wouldn't mind revisiting it, bet it would sound pretty good right now.

And Third kinda sounds like shit on cd imo.

Just now bought these on the fourth floor for fifty cents per disc (so a dollar for the doubles)
Huey Lewis and the News - s/t
Hugh Masekela - Melody Maker
The Best of Ian and Sylvia
BIM - Thistles
Jon Hassell - CITY: Works of Fiction
Art Ensemble of Chicago - Live at Mandel Hall

How is Soundsations? I always forget it's there.

also in LA is Soundsations half a mile from LAX. down the street from where i grew up, so i have spent many an hour in there. i still go every time i see my mom. there used to be KXLU djs that worked there. now it's the same 5 40+yr old baseball freaks in there since it opened 10yrs ago. they have seriously the worst taste in music. always playing dinosaur rock from the early 90s. luckily they don't know much about anything cool, so prices are pretty fair for the things i'm looking for. decent vinyl (and now they have a turntable set up so you can listen) and tons of used cds (specifically hip hop and alternarock. where they make most of their money i think)
