pretty sure klimt pressings are bootlegs too. don't know anything about them really.

I'm not sure if Klimt records are boots or not. It wouldn't surprise me if they are. I think I am taking the day off, otherwise I could go to work and see if the packaging says anything along the lines of "Licensed from blah blah."

What should I look for? Asking these questions is so embarrassing!

just look to see if there's any small print on the back saying something like "Licensed from such and such corporation" or something. It won't necessarily be true, I guess, but I have no idea who owns the rights to the Popol Vuh catalog in France (where Klimt is from.)

Ok. Thank you! I will look for it. I appreciate the help. Spelling out the title over the phone so the person could look it up for me was about as much as I could handle. Most of the time I just want to browse, purchase, leave without having to ask any questions!

Thanks ILV clubhouse!

<3 took the day off yesterday and hit sacramento w mike mcg visiting from portland -- got some SICK records! ill post em as i listen to em

Update:
I looked for the licensing, didn't see anything, but was reassured by the clerk and bought it anyway. Listened to it immediately upon returning home, regret nothing.

At least I don't think I do? Listening to Affenstunde super loud on my record player while I got dinner together was extremely pleasant, and I wouldn't have had that experience otherwise. Now I can have it whenever I want...that's gotta be worth something even if the reissue label isn't totally legit? I'm not sure if it is or not, but I do appreciate your assistance, ILV.

i think almost everyone on this board has probably bought some 'grey area' reissue in their life at some point so don't sweat it, word?

i won this record in monthly 78 auction last night, along with a few others:

klimt put out the henske/yester album just like radioactive did before them and i have a really hard time believing that a tiny no-name label in france with no website licensed that record from anyone. they put out lots of radioactive-y titles. josefus, moving sidewalks, demian. i could be wrong though. if i'm wrong someone right me. i have no idea who is behind the label.

the looking around i did proved mostly the same thing -- no website, no official presence aside from a ton of listings on forced exposure. i thought that was kinda weird as well.

i think the thing that disturbs me is that there's no website. why would they not want people to know who they are? but who would have the cojones to steal an album that well known? i mean, josephus is not popol vuh.

its also possible that they might license stuff close to home and not other stuff? i dunno. its all a mystery.

kicking around the idea of doing an all-45s set when I DJ this Friday. all my LPs are still boxed up from moving. it would be heavy on the indie rock (got most of my 7"s in the 90s) but the typical crowd that goes to HiFi might be more into that than what I usually play tbh.

trying to weigh "that would be the lazy way to do it" vs "fun change of pace"

playing 45s inna bar is so so so so much easier than playing lps.
thing with indie rock tho is that some of those things play at 33 and i would be nervous of starting on the wrong speed. /nervous nelly

haha I listened to one of my college radio sets recently on a tape I found and it had a fuckup like that on it (song started too slow, hit 45 and sped it up on air)

fuckin post-rock instrumentals man. luckily not a frequent problem for me in 2013.

I still make that mistake from time to time. I would really like to do an early-night bar gig one of these days, but I need too much gear - both of my old battered Geminis have given up and died.

xxxxpost: such a huge pet peeve of mine, not putting the speed on the label. what kind of way is that to treat your listener?

This is reflected in the skyrocketing value for vinyl records over the recent years.

:(

it's the little things dept.: a new shelf has opened up, getting stacks off the floor. yet another benefit of the empty nest.

more exciting premiere: game of thrones s03 on 3/31 or mad men s06 on 4/7?

GAME OF HTRONES BRO.
i gave up on mad men halfway into season 3. soap opera snoozer, no matter how babely the cast.

agreed, although we made it thru S4 of MM.

im sayin both

fuuuuuuuuuuck dudes worst night weird run-in w our passive aggressive neighbors.

bluhhhhhhhhhh

in situations like these, i generally ask myself WWJJWD? and listen to five years gone.

what was the prob?!?! records too loud!?!

no they annexed both garden plots, and we emailed to be like "oh we want some of that space!" and they copped a weird attitude about how we never engage with our property (?), and so i politely pointed out that theyve regularly ignored our requests to clean up their dog's shit from the backyard, and how "engagement" seemed like a moot point for us after that.

anyway, it all seems fine now, but UGH. these PEOPLE.

my pals bev and shannon are having a rocking house party. ian's wife will be there. ya'll should come:

Metal Mountains
Willie Lane
Samara Lubelski
Red Favorite
Josh Burkett (reading)

i'm gonna be there too i think. unless i have to stay home to keep the cats fed.

Ian, please, pull some strings. Send the Metal Mountains to Boston.

is there somewhere they can play and get busted by cops? they have barely done any shows outside of ny tbh, it's kinda tough to get the three of them to coordinate schedules. but i'll tell helen you want them to come there

Didn't understand scott's post at first cuz I was like, I should be seeing Samara at the Chelsea Light Moving show in Chicago tonite!

bev and shannon are two of my best buds around here. love those guys and its always such a good time at their place. and their band rules, by the way. bunwinkies.

saw that one yesterday. the jerk face funkyou sure has a nice set of rock/ssw obscurities up right now... lots of wants but i have a hard time giving that carpetbomber/earth-scorcher my not-so-hard-earned coin.

curious to hear that, though. i guess he just lists too damn many things to make mp3s? or maybe this has been passed around digitally for a while and i just was out of the loop?

really dig her first LP, always wondered why it's not more of a $$$ record. i know it's not uber-rare but i've still only found it twice in like 10 years of looking...

yeah, i like the record on tetragrammaton. not the best thing in the world but at least as good as the first couple of karen beth lps or ellen mcilwaine or someone.

i admire/am jealous of anyone who can get 12 to 15 bucks for 2 dollar records. he's a lot like my pal from west virginia, vinyty. i wish i had the time to build up a dedicated following on ebay, but sadly i own a stupid record store which takes up a lot of my time. otherwise i think i could. their averages are really high.

that said, both of them always have tons of stuff that i want.

i dunno, he seems like an over-grading parasitic bottom-feeder to me, but maybe i'm just a jealous hater.

i guess i'm just bitter that he put up a bunch of "we buy records" signs on my block and around my 'hood.

you are bitter that he buys records?

shit, over-grading? i just bid on a chilliwack record...
