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

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

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)

Slim Goodbody - Healthy & Wealthy

awesome

my 2nd Slim Goodbody album. Songs from "The Adventures of Slim Goodbody in Nutri-City"! I'm collecting his entire oeuvre.

can't tell if this was a special or a record one-off like 'Muhammed Ali vs. Mr. Tooth Decay', it's sponsored by Kraft.

you guys deserve the cover:

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu92/damien_stone/slim.jpg

that is one HEALTHY robot!

nobunny -- first blood (a-side is fucking great, b-side a little less, but a really good 2nd alb)
yips -- bonfire in a dixie cup (again -- really really likin this one)

^^intended for other thread

money's been super tight lately and now i'm trying to save $$ for a new guitar amp but anyway these, after way too much deliberation and penny counting and putting things back on the shelf, are my recent grabs from the fetus:

the del fuegos: boston, mass.
eugene chadbourne: country protest
michael nesmith: live at the palais
esther philips: confessin the blues
portal: swarth

probably the last for a while :(

today:

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" Great purchases for a buck or less

the weeds - aka the lollipop shoppe (basically the lollipop shoppe LP with a few bonus tracks. okay sound!)
roger morris - first album (UK band-style rural rock)
'kid punch' miller - jazz rarities 1929-1930
neil young - broken arrow
'truckin' (wheaton college girl chorus/rock band hybrid)

i had that lollipop shop/weeds cd reissue, need to give it more listens but my cds have been out of commission for over a year.

today

wes montgomery - a day in the life
vern gosdin - till the end
charles mingus - let my children hear music
elliott murphy - aquashow
lynyrd skynyrd - pronounced...
and re-bought stones - sticky fingers (some pressing with a gold stamped zipper, we'll see how it sounds)

Cloudland Canyon - Fin Eaves
Mythical Beast - Scales

NYC Peech Boys - Life Is Something Special (vinyl is in good condition, sleeve is beat to shit but I got it for like $8 so I'll deal)
Sister Sledge - Love Somebody Today
Outer Space - s/t (side project of the synthesizer dude from Emeralds)
Outer Space/Raglani - split 12"
Best Coast - Crazy For You (I had preordered this in order to get the seafoam green vinyl but my copy got lost in the mail so they re-sent me one of the normal black vinyl ones. kind of a bummer but at least the dude at Kemado was super nice about it.)
Magic Kids - Memphis
Tame Impala - Innerspeaker
Tangerine Dream - Force Majure
Antony/Fennesz - "Returnal" 7"
TV on the Radio - Young Liars EP (for $12!)
Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell
Hall & Oates - War Babies (clearly I was on a Rundgren-as-producer kick)

more importantly I also got an Outlaw Audio RR2150 and a pair of those Insignia speakers which everyone raves over despite coming from Best Buy's in-house brand. set everything up last night & threw on Willie Nelson's Phases & Stages and holy shit, I'm about to learn to love music all over again

did a favor for a friend, got a little dough, spent the dough on LPs:

bud powell - the amazing... vol. 2
grace slick & the great society - conspicuous only in its absence
bob weir - ace
v/a - sound of kinshasa: guitar classics from zaire
v/a - shadow music of thailand
lindstrom - breakfast in heaven/blast of loser

freebies:
eagles s/t
john martyn - one world ('77; lately a friend has been really pushing the 'later' uk folk guys solo records; thompson, chapman, martyn. this one seems kinda crapola but i should listen to the whole thing. only gave it a few cuts before)
2 live crew - pop that pussy 12"

Karheinz Stockhausen - Momente (Nonesuch)

ian. 2 things. that martyn record is great. i've mentioned it a billion times before, but 'big muff' is cowritten by lee perry. i really dig later martyn.

secondly. not that you're not allowed to like lindstrom, but you should really start getting into all the stuff he's into. moroder, k.schulze, cerrone, the band space, IC records, italo in general. i think you might dig.
