not just to flip!

you don't live near me. ian lives pretty close and even travels to rhode island on occasion, but he refuses to come to my store.

he gets enough records though.

give me a link if you start a thread on the waxi board. i don't know how to find stuff there.

just bought some dead records. i won't go under ten bucks for clean dead records. not gonna happen. unless its dylan & the dead. or maybe goes to heaven.

i love the dead man
any boots?

i don't refuse to come to your store, it's just a lil difficult to find time. the only time i travel to RI is really for family occasions where i don't have enuff time to drive to greenfield.

wtf is "crust"? is that their term for common major-label stuff? also, "shredding"?

yeah, that crust thing threw me off. last i hear crust was a type of punkrok

from google search:

Surely this is the epitome of what our chums at Waxidermy call 'crust'? Major label product that sold bucketloads at the time and is easily found in various locations for not much money.

oh i posted the piece on the thread -- if no one bites in a couple days, ill try starting a separate one, scott!

oh okay got it tanks.

most of these guys dont wanna talk about it unless its for sale though :\

shreds=plays very good guitar?

btw, i am pretty sure i got 'vg but sound great' copies of the first six zep rekkerds for $1 each

i inherited all of my zep from my dad, he shreds!

I saw a nice used copy of Led Zep II in a store today for $17.95. Gatefold, etc. That's pretty much the norm around here, I'm moving more into random thrift scores cuz it is out of control in the regular stores.

does anyone know what those waxi dudes mean when they call a record NAGB

not a good buy?

good guess, it makes sense

the best thing about the waxi site is the bonerz thread, soe of the covers are really great.

^^ um, Not A Grippable Boner?

i'm all about the bonerz

nagb is not a good boner fwiw

took me forever to work out wtf PINA is

when ppl on waxidermy use the word "good" are they referring the musical quality or $$$?

in the context of "nagb" it just means inaccurate. as for anything else, well..

fascinating.

you did ask!

no i did! and i get it! but it doesn't help me understand the culture in the way i was hoping.

ah i see. tbh i do prefer the site when they talk about interesting things and tell cool stories, the whole fretting over the price of stuff is lame in the extreme

what's a "boner"?

From what I understand a boner is a record that looks promising, like a hand drawn cover of a bearded guy or a photo of a certain kind of guy or girl, but the music doesn't lived up to the covers promise.

But I have a few of those records and I like the music, so a lot.

like this is supposed to be a boner, but it's one of my favorite records, really nice soft folk rock.

What's the music like, soft lonely folk??

no kinda tom waitsy lounge...

even better

yeah, i think it's right up your alley. if i ever see another one, it's yours.

went to DustyGroove last night, they suddenly got a ton of LPs from MEN of the 60's/70's that aren't receiving any hipster kisses. someone must have REALLY dug the stuff at some point and sold their collection. almost none of whom i'd heard of, but i know the ones I had heard of are up the Jacob/Skot/Ian alley. I wrote them down in my phone but got sick of writing after a while, so this is an almost complete list:

Lynn Blessing
Danny Brooks
Buzz Clifford
Danny Epps
Guy Fletcher
Scott Fagan
Gary Farr
Mike Hurst
Tim Hollier
Harry Goz
Gary Kuper
Wings Livinryte
Paul Siebel
Charles John Quarto
Patrick Sky
Tom Sullivan
Ian Tamblyn
Allan Thomas
Joel Vance
Tim Tutor
Tim Winters
Sammy Walker

i love that buzz clifford record on...dot? i think. so good. danny brooks on...warner brothers? has moments. i like scott fagan but he's not for everyone. gary farr is my hero. tim hollier is my hero. paul siebel is cool. charles john quarto is cool. patrick sly is cool. others i've heard but can't recall right now...

patrick sky that is.

gary farr and tim hollier not the easiest to find either. still need a copy of the first tim hollier. i'll probably never find one.

which ist he first hollier? harlequin or w/e?

i love paul siebel the most on that list. both rekkerds on elektra are amazing. pretty much agree with everything skot said.rekkerds.

here's my little review I wrote for the Gary Farr record I liked the most.
Gary Farr was a committed man. He sang with a committed voice and created a densely lyrical world. 'Addressed to The Censors of Love' was released in 1973 and recorded at Muscle Shoals with Jerry Wexler. After two previous albums of folk rock, this is where he sang like everything depended on it. Gary Farr's father was a boxer and I think he had a little of his father's fight in him. The music is blue eyed soul folk rock, sort of. I really can't describe it well enough. There's a bit of Dylan in Gary's delivery, but it's more a confrontation with Dylan than just mimicking. On 'White Bird' 'Rhythm King' and 'Cetain Lady' he croons and is in love as much as anybody, he can be beautifully sad. When he rocks, like on 'Breakfast Boo-Ga-Loo' or 'Faith What a Face' it's like poetry meeting pub rock. This record might confuse you on first listen as it did me, but keep listening, it will surprise you.

I need Strange Fruit by Gary Farr, I used to have mp3s on a computer that died.

Did Doug Dillard pass away??

yes :(

:-( indeed, only just got around to finally checking out the dillard & clark stuff in the last week. love his contributions to that first mike nesmith record too.

so, inspired by the American Power Pop poll on ILM, i went to my singles boxes. pulled out the two Chris Stamey 45s, and discovered that 'The Summer Sun' picture sleeve was signed on the back by Alex Chilton! how did i not know this, and ...cool!
