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:

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.

i like cerrone & schulze okay; i'm working my way into it slowly.

i get kinda turned off by cheezy vocals tho. that is my main stumbling block.

but i do try. i listen to cheap disco records with space-themed covers regularly. it's good to drive ppl out of the store late at night when i am drinking beer.

that would drive me *into* the store tbh

you like UNCLASSICS ian? that, mixed up in the hague, and the CBS top 100 radio shows that I-F did for a few years really turned me on to italo. i-robots is a good comp, too...

i don't know any of that shit.
i'd ask u guys to post covers of stuff i'd like so i can remember it easier but being a mod sux

UNCLASSICS is morgan geist's (from metro area) mixed comp
mixed up in the hague (vols 1&2) is I-F's mixed comp, and sort of responsible for the wide exposure of italo i think
CBS top 100 is this internet radio station (cybernetic broadcast system) for which I-F did a yearly countdown of 100 italo classics
i-robots is another mixed comp with good stuff, i forgot who did this one

in my opinion, mixed up in the hague is better as a historical document than it is the best comp. i found unclassics and i-robots more user-friendly.

the idea of becoming a big dance collector is so intimidating to me cause of all the plain sleeves

straight up, i never listen to comps unless they are old-timey comps.
can ya'll recommend good spacey disco LPs? i'll take a dig through our soul/funk/disco section today. we always have tons of crap with mustaches and spaceships for $3-5.

cerrone's supernature is great
moroder's from here to eternity

umm imma defer after those, but seriously, dont discount comps for italo. it's a singles form!

xpost. most of these have a few youtubes on the discogs page. these are all pretty common.

that's just banging space disco. if you want, i can suggest a bunch of cosmic space albums that are less beat driven and just tripped out synth noodling too?

i would like that! (banging space disco sounds good too though, will check out)
