ILV clubhouse

i have a signed thompson twins 12 inch. wonder what i could get for it?

Half-price on one that hasn't been scribbled on.

Just sold my first record to Japan and the guy kind of schooled me. He asked "Is this a Blue/white "New York, USA" blue Note labels and is Van Gelder and "Ear" stamped in dead wax? " I guess I need to look more closely at my records.

well was it?

Dexter Gordon's Go

the japanese have raised record collecting to a whole new level imo. sometimes i'll be looking up some obscure rural rock or ssw record and the only info on it will be all in japanese

Byw the way I have a Japanese Brigitte Fontaine, what do you do with the OBI? I was going to trow it away.

fold it and put it inside the jacket?

Does it boost the value of a record?

yes.

Better, put whole sleeve inside plastic protector.

hey whatsup guys, i lost my ipod this weekend so now i've just got my records to listen to. it's been pretty nice

every icloud has a shiny black lining..

anyone in the clubhouse?

yep listening to keith fullerton whitman, drinking a beer, thinking about what to make for dinner

SWEEEET

im playin donald byrd on my show right now. i dont know why, but i always kinda shrugged him off. but this ethiopian knights album is totally awesome.

hangin out killin the end of the workday.
drinkin some bourbon.
listening to sandy bull.

a dude i know just told me he's going to be putting out a ton of unreleased charlie tweddle recordings over the next few years. psyched. said he'd bring me a test pressing of the first volume.

fuck yeah! i wanna drink some bourbon tonight, too. my job tonight is to pack up all non-record media into boxes. that seems like a bourbon job.

Just put a pork loin in the oven to slowly cook in a fig walnut marinade. About to listen to records

awwww man, fig walnut glaze!
i'm reading this kinda dopey book about Blaze Foley, written by his ex-lover, and there is a part where Blaze is like "Let's plant some fig trees in the front yard, little onion--that's bible food!" made me lol

That's hilarious! We are planting a fig tree the day after our baby is born!

Fresh figs are good.

Been bummed cause I have no time to go digging for records, but watching lots of good stuff on ebay, Mike Fiems and Bunny Fitzgerald, and have you guys heard Thomas and Richard Frost self titled on Uni? Thinking bout getting it.

bunny fitzgerald! i have a copy of that record. thinking about selling it, but it's not in top shape (seam split on top, some scuffing & surface noise) so i may just hold onto it.

You have it??? How is it??

Thomas & Richard Frost is a nice mellow listen, kinda melancholy iirc. Don't own it--played for me by a friend sometimes a few yrs back.

Jacob: the bunny fitzgerald record has some cool 'psychy' weird beatnik-esque tracks and some pretty boring femme folk. only listened to it once or twice over the last few years, which is why i'm thinking of selling it. i'll re-listen tonight if I get a chance and give you a report! if you think it's something you really want we can probably work out a trade...

another record i'm thinking of selling in the same femme ssw/light-psych moves vein is the Sally Cowan LP, "Yankee Lady" which i've kept cuz of the joni mitchell & guy clark covers mainly.

I love their compilation of Rev-Ola but it's singles and a lost album, I think, but I heard their album is more folk-rock and less orchestrated popsike. And I'm totally down for that, trade or buy it now. The copy on ebay right now is sealed and I'm afraid it's going to leave my price range.

Gonna start my radio show with "little maggie" by Barefoot Jerry.

How do I listen?

I know that seems like something you would post in the radio thread, but Barefoot Jerry feels relevant to the clubhouse

oh you can listen live at kopn.org. There is a listen live link in the upper right hand corner.
I start at ten pm central. Gona play stuff I picked up last weekend in Columbia and Jefferson City. And other folk rock sounds. And psych.

Cool I'll tune in

Barefoot Jerry is very relevant round these parts

The pork loin was very good, with wild rice and green beans, now drinking high life on the back porch listening to Trip's good tunes.

I can also hear the wild dogs howling across the lake.

Dave Van Ronk And The Hudson Dusters works magic on that cover, not sure why I've never heard of them, and they have so many records out, which one should look for?

who? dave van ronk or the person he was covering?

dave van ronk covering joni mitchell, it was beautiful.

the hudson dusters album was a one-time thing, no? i've only seen the one album anyway. dave has lots of albums. i kinda have a problem with his voice and delivery, but that's a taste thing. or a preference thing or whatever.

jacob, i am totally willing to part with this bunny fitzgerald record. the cover is split entirely along the top and the spine is half split as well. record played well! some light scuffs but played quite clean for me. if you think you have anything i'd want that you'd want to trade..

imo the whole second side kinda sucks...?

Thanks for listening, Jacob! Dave generally does great Joni covers. There is a guy named "Pot" in the Hudson Dusters.
My favorite Van Ronk stuff I have heard is that Hudson Dusters one off and this one called Songs for Ag(e)ing Children.

hey y'all

Hi pete

Working on ripping record for my ILV mix and having a hard time removing the surface noise, any ideas?

ive never spent much time digitizing -- im definitely using tape for mine

maybe I should start hitting flea markets to looks for a tape deck. surface noise sounds better on tape anyway
