nice!

is "no lime tangier" an anagram for your name or something

they are in good company here, that's for sure. that's some vinyl board canon list right there. or noize board canon. one or the other. where is gareth? every year i ask that question. could never follow his usernames.

i've basically backed off buying records since my fahey haul, w/the exception of 'dune' by sam morrison (smooth late '70s jazz shit, heavy on the fender rhodes, w/occasional flute) and a greg cartwright side project called the parting gifts. been selling a lot of stuff on ebay as well, trying to get rid of my unlistened-to quantity and pare it down for quality control. reasons for that are several and not entirely bad reasons.

not an anagram, but a bad pun. yet looking closer i do see my name in there (almost).

I went to the record show at the Flywheel in Easthampton yesterday with Rufus. It was fun. Lots of my pals were there. I thought I was getting there late, but I forgot about the time change, so I was right on time. Rufus just pored over 45s most of the time. He got some Beatles stuff and decent copies of Ram and McCartney II. I knew my friend Andy would be selling there and he always has the best stuff and the best (completely insane) prices. I brought along a couple Northern soul singles for him (totally rare Bunny Sigler 45 that I’ve never seen before. Very early single.) and a free jazz record I thought he would like. Anyway, he didn’t disappoint! I bought a ton of stuff off of him and he always manages to have a couple of things that I actually NEED. Want list kind of things. I always think I don’t have a want list, but I guess I do. The only bummer was the copy of the Fuse album I bought. Not from Andy. From another guy who had good stuff. Totally warped. It looked okay in the darkened hall of the Flywheel. Oh well. So, I still need a clean copy of that one. Anyway, here is most of what I got. Some obvious store stuff, but I’m probably gonna end up keeping a bunch of records because I’m crazy that way. Spent about 200 bucks. Kinda my self-imposed record show limit. In this case, it was everything I had on me! There was plenty of great stuff that I left behind. Mint Colombian pressing of south of heaven for 15 bucks might haunt me for a while. (andy went for the big stuff. Original pressing of pay to cum! under a hundred bucks! Great pretty things picture sleeve single. The guys with the punk table had AMAZING singles and albums and all priced really good.) everything I bought was in great shape.

Buddy guy & junior wells – play the blues

New riders of the purple sage – brujo

Yo la tengo – president (will sell this in a minute at the store)

wu tang clan – enter the wu-tang (same with this)

billy bang quintet – rainbow gladiator

jaime brockett – remember the wind and the rain (andy just gave me this. He was sick of looking at it. Original oracle pressing. I never dug it when I was younger. Maybe I’ll like it more now.)

gloria lynne – s/t (he gave me this too. On up front. He bought it at my store. He complained that nobody wanted it and told me to take it back to Greenfield.)

circle jerks – group sex

vincent bell – pop goes the electric sitar (got this in case herb albert doesn’t have a copy.)

charlie haden – the ballad of the fallen

barbara keith – s/t (her album on reprise. Barbara comes into my store with her husband. They are really nice. They have a band with their son called the stone coyote band. Really good! I’ve been playing their new album a lot. She had a band with john hall called kangaroo. One album on mgm. Then she did two solo albums. Her husband grew up in LA and was good friends with terry Melcher and dennis Wilson. He wrote for t.v. and had his own production company. He wrote munsters and bewitched episodes and tons of other stuff. But him and Barbara got sick of Hollywood and the record business and the t.v. business and moved out here in the 70’s. I’m glad they did!)

three man army – a third of a lifetime (probably upgrade my copy with this)

Michael fennelly – stranger’s bed

Fat chance – s/t

Agnostic front – cause for alarm

The now – s/t

Infa-riot – still out of order

Juicy lucy – get a whiff a this

t-ski valley – “catch the groove” 12 inch on tuff city

john cage – s/t (1979 album on tomato of early cage stuff)

barrabas – watch out

fischer-z – going deaf for a living

nrbq – scraps (actually a reissue on line that is so clean that I couldn’t pass it up. Wouldn’t doubt that it sounds better than original pressings)

the rods – live

electronic music III (on turnabout. Berio (with cathy berberian), druckman, mimaroglu)

simtec & wylie – gettin’ over the hump (looks like a scorpio reissue or something. But totally brand new looking and I need it)

captain beyond – sufficiently breathless (definite upgrade. So minty it makes me want to cry)

computer music from the university of Illinois (hiller/isaacson/baker)

u-roy – dread in a Babylon

freestyle express – “freestyle” 12 inch on music specialists incorporated.

Word of mouth featuring d.j. cheese – “king kut” 12 inch on beauty and the beat

Hasil Adkins – the wild man

The savage rose – your daily gift

Conjure: music for the texts of Ishmael reed (been digging kip hanrahan’s Pangaea vision lately)

d.o.a. – bloodied but unbowed

street legal – s/t (private glam metal thing. Ebay bait.)

nucleus – we’ll talk about it later (german vertigo pressing)

kung fu – music and dialog from the t.v. series (sealed! But I kinda want to play it…)

outlaw riders movie soundtrack (raging biker soundtrack! On mgm. Simon stokes and the nighthawks wigging out! Really excited to find this.)

esposito – procession of the hierophants

Harold ousley – the kid! (on cobblestone)

Gene ammons – brasswind (sweet funky axelrod majik)

Dennis coffey – back home

Amboy dukes – dr. slingshot

Newcleus – jam on revenge

Air – montreux Suisse (threadgill air)

Alan bown – s/t

Jungle brothers – done by the forces of nature (been waiting, um, 22 years to come across a clean copy of this. And it’s a clean german pressing of all things! Lent mine out in 1989 to a budding dj I worked with in philly and he left it on top of a radiator to melt.)

Melvin van peebles – what the…you mean I can’t sing

Roscoe Mitchell – nonaah (double album on nessa. Andy had it priced at five bucks. So glad I don’t live in Brooklyn sometimes! No offense, Brooklyn.)

Rabbitt – a croak & a grunt in the night (trevor rabin’s old band. Needed this one.)

Better youth organization presents…something to believe in (haven’t heard this since 1984. Kinda bummed I didn’t get the nardcore comp the punk dudes were selling to go along with it.)

Youth brigade – sound & fury (but this goes with it well. One of my favorite records ever. Can’t believe I actually sold my copy years ago. What was I thinking?)

Antithesis – gypsy

Fm – head room (direct to disc prog rarity by FM. Never heard it. I think I can sell it. Not bad though.)

Black Arthur blithe – bush baby

General caine II – get down attack

Chris spedding – the only lick I know (super clean u.k. harvest original)

Steve hillage – fish rising

Area code 615 – s/t

Obituary – slowly we rot

Rail – arrival

Michael fennelly – lane changer (fyi: the fennelly albums are great if you are a hard rock fan. He was in crabby Appleton and I actually dig these solo albums more than any crabby album. You would never know how cool they were by the covers)

Odell brown & the organ-izers – ducky

Perry robinson/nana vasconcelos/badal roy – kundalini

Archie shepp – life at the donaueschingen music festival

The art ensemble of Chicago – fanfare for the warriors (super clean promo)

M.B.T. soul – s/t (cool French disco lp)

Original pressing of pay to cum! under a hundred bucks!

it should also be noted that john hall, barbara keith's former bandmate in kangaroo, was just defeated in his congressional race by a tea party candidate. in the place of my birth, no less! small world.

freddie hubbard -- sing me a song of songmy

loop -- a gilded eternity

hi scott!
i'm psyched to get home and listen to my records.

goddamn, explor!st intern@tional. having a rad jazz record store two blocks away means doing laundry is so awesome.

gary burton -- a genuine tong funeral (cbley, $6)
john klemmer -- blowin' gold (cadet concept LP w pete cosey! also $6)

o ya, how is that new store? mostly reissues? small? listening stations? what kinda stuff do they have the most of?

i feel bad. i sorta stopped buying records because i just spent a grip on a new bike. and don't have anywhere to put new records. but it's not been bothering me. i don't miss it at all. am i over it? is it just a phase? i hope i don't become one of those guys.

only like 10% reissues, small, one listening station that is the store's turntable, SO MUCH JAZZ and world and pre-war blues a lil rock and etc.

i am 10% concerned that i will overbuy and the second wave wont be as good, but i feel like a 49er yknow

tell me more about these pre-war blues lps if you don't mind. is this the time when i post my yazoo/herwin/mamlish want list?

was only one of those in stock this weekend, and i grabbed it -- voice of the blues (bottleneck gtr) on yazoo. ill keep checking back, but as of now, it's a lot of new reissues and kicking mule-type labels that did a little bit of pre-war stuff. ive got high hopes that a lot of yazoo/herwin/mamlish will drift in, though...

xp - ian, if there's anything you're looking for, let us know - the dude who owns the store is a personal friend.

i want a lot of things.

ok, take it back. had a GC to amoeba and spent well over an hour digging. felt good. prob best haul i've had in a long time. i went to buy stuff for a new club i'm gonna start djing this weekend called Haçienda, based on the club of the same name. factory records, acid house & early rave. picked up a few other rad things while i was at it. most of this was a dollar or 2

baumann - strangers in the night.
happy mondays - sunshine & love
hypothetical prophets - person to person (been on the hunt for this one for years)
new order - blue monday (surprisingly, i've never owned, nor really listened to them before this)
new order - confusion (love this one)
the ocean blue - s/t (not really my thing, but might learn to like)
definition of sound - wear your love like heaven (this is weird fake de la soul)
golden palominos - boy
die warzau - bodybag/shakedown
the dark esquire - situation
terje rypdal - whenever i seem to be far away (damn this sounds awesome)
sky - 2
bill nelson - chimera
tv babies - apt 621 (great early 80s synth that has 60s style song writing)

on the acid house / New Order tip you should watch out for this one, Rephlex put it out a few years ago

http://991.com/newGallery/New-Order-Blue-Monday---808-305013.jpg

it's Blue Monday b/w Confusion

"new order - blue monday (surprisingly, i've never owned, nor really listened to them before this)"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!

!

hahaha

can we revoke jaxon's ilx card?

on the other hand, there is a whole world of awesomeness awaiting him.

ILV is the land of misfit toys -- no ILX canon necessary here.

tbh, i have never really listened to new order. but that's probably not surprising anybody.

new order were awesome.

ha. i mean, i've def heard these songs a billion times before. i've watched the video for confusion a million times. i've just never deliberately gone out of my way to listen to NO. i mean, steve shasta hadn't heard the beatles until last year. btw, thanks dave, those acid house mixes sound great. weird that they're actually from 2004

ian, now that you're into space disco, you should give them a try. they'd be right up your alley
