Rolling 2008 Vinyl Thread

ELECTRIC guitar destructo noize.

Great, when's it from?!

it's fairly recent. one of those limited-edition things, but the record store here has had two copies for ages.

new-ish:
monte dunn & karen cruz
the music of conlon nancarrow vol. 3 (anyone spare copies of 1 & 2?)
the new age - all around (this is the patrick kilroy group and it's pretty good. the liner notes are AMAZING and super long and detailed with lots of great photos/concert fliers etc.
ayler - spirits rejoice (reissue, but $0.33 at a yard sale.)
augustus pablo - ital dub
johnny clarke - originally mr. clarke
ranking dillinger - none stop disco style

the dennis wilson sundaze reissue is like $40!

?!? yikes.

the CD is kinda pricey too though .... 30 for two discs but with a cool package and big book. I went ahead and got it since I've never heard Bambu sessions. didn't dig those a ton on first listen but the POB outtakes were good .... "Holy Man" inst. and one other one ....

The LP version is three LPs and tri-fold cover with notes and whatnot, but still, daaaaaamn.

yeah i was praying for the usual sundazed $17.99 thing but i still might pick this up one of these days though tbh i hate spending that much on one record even if it's something i've been eagerly awaiting.

ian, feel free to post on the new age thread i started. if you have anything to say about it. i think you and gottpunch and elvis telecom are the only ones on here who have heard it:

The New Age - All Around - Patrick Kilroy - Susan Graubard - Jeffrey Stewart

definitely one of my fave releases in years.

milk 'n' cookies - 2lp reissue

I didn't know this had been reissued! All I ever heard is Little, Lost and Innocent, but what a knockout tune. The opening bassline of the single played at the wrong speed sounds like the beginning of a great pigfuck record.

guys i wanted to let u know me & my buddy dave are doing the radio show again tonight which is all the vinyl LP records all the time. we are probably gonna end up playing mostly country & post-psych folk-rock. 8pm eastvillageradio.com.

my buddy dragged me (lol) record shopping this morning after breakfast:

v/a - steel guitar classics (old-timey records.)
v/a - real original cowboy songs (title might not be exact. it's one of those RCA 20's-30s country comps.)
duster bennet - justa duster (some awesome jame, some boring blah blahs)
tim buckley s/t (nice gold label in shrink copy.)
woodbine - roots (small label grateful dead kinda acoustic country-pop. pretty decent. sounded better on the listening station tbh.)

also, i am trading a friend the Dandelion reissue on Guerssen for a copy of the 1st David Blue LP.

Wolves In The Throne Room - Two Hunters 2LP
Howlin' Wolf - rocking chair album, 1984 Chess reissue
Kallabris - Shanghai 12"
Acid Mothers Temple - In C
Gene Clark w/Gosdin Brothers (Sundazed reissue)

metallica - master of puppets
miles davis - in a silent way
jethro tull - this was
arthur blythe - elaborations
mission of burma - VS. fancy edition
nomo - ghost rock
nomo - new tones

oh also some comments on those things (xpost to myself)

Kallabris is much more beat driven than I expected from them. Wolves In The Throne Room is superb. Will from Middian (R.I.P.) is playing with them now and will be on the new 2LP they're recording.

I want that VS fancy edition pretty bad, but keep finding more essential stuff used.

Went to Rebellion (big punk festival) last weekend and got these:

neon - bottles 7" (A side is on of those KBD-style England Belongs To Me comps)
neon - don't eat bricks 7"
normal - warm leatherette 7"
menace - screwed up 7"
girls at our best! - pleasure LP
cardiacs - a little man and a house and the whole world window LP

Got this off Ebay:
ex-girl - endangered species LP

And today I found this in the Music & Video Exchange for 50p!
world domination enterprises - I can't live without my radio 12" (yes it's an LL Cool J cover!)

i'd never heard in a silent way before. wow.

i'm kinda glad i never heard it before or i probably wouldn't have found tortoise and/or krautrock shit as mindblowing as i thought it was the first time i heard that stuff back in the day.

that's awesome.

"on the corner" next.

yeah i was thinking bitches brew next, never heard that....

is jack johnson a good one too?

jazz is my new "thing" so i got a long way to go.

imho jack johnson > bitches brew

i would just buy both!

crosby & nash - live
belle & sebastian - 3...6...9 seconds of light
wham - make it big
marty robbins - greatest hits
dick hyman - the man from o.r.g.a.n.

(i bought the last one for $1 because of its cover and it's a pretty dope album too)

All the Miles albums from late 60s through mid-70s are well worth checking out (ditto most before and after), but Columbia crammed as much music as possible onto some of those multiple-mindfuck-LP sides, so it can be pretty compressed--but I didn't think much about this when I first heard them (before CDs), so might not bother you either (although hearing CDs of any kind first might make a difference, since I know my ears have been re-conditioned by digital, at least in terms of prefering remasters, although Coluumbia kept fumbling their Miles re's for quite a while--but since you're already going with the analog vinyl flow, you might not mind the compression of Live Evil, for inst (def. check that one!)

Some oxfam classical finds:

Anton Webern - The Complete Music 4 LP Boxed Set
Czech Rococo Music sing in Jazz Rhythm by the Linha Singers

Although that Linha Singers LP is less classical, more music to throw pottery by, a la the Novi Singers.

this is grebt:

so, they have that twinkeyz cartoon land thing on vinyl at the store, do i need that? i've only heard a lil' bit of twinkeyz, but they seem like they are up my alley. is the cartoon land thing everything they did? or what?

with a new turntable and nearly-monthly DJ gig, i have all the excuses in the world to keep buying stuff:

The Original Delaney & Bonnie (Accept No Substitutes)
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy- Lie Down in the Light
13th Floor Elevators mono reissue
Tangoterje: Diamonds Dub 12"
Simone Fedi- Sub-Space/ Yeah! 12"
Peter Visti: Dolly (sweet edit of "Jolene") 12"
Peter Visti: Heaven is a Disco/ Fighting James 12"
(a sucker for Eskimo product lately)

via eBay:
Hank Thompson and his Brazos Valley Boys: Six Pack to Go
Willie Nelson: Face of a Fighter
Willie Nelson: My Own Peculiar Way
Pharoah Sanders: Deaf Dumb and Blind
Bohannon: On My Way (sealed!)

Cartoon Land is the Alpha Jerk LP plus another stray song or two. Have you heard Aliens in Our Midst? That's the straightest song on there. The rest ain't a million miles away, but they're a hard band to describe. Kinda somewhere between the Screamin Mee Mees and Chrome, maybe. But with a glam feel. Do you trust Karl Ikola? That's the question, I guess...

they remind me a little bit of VU and early modern lovers stuff, too. with some weird synthesizer thrown in. the LP doesn't have everything (leaves off the inessential live stuff from the anopheles cd, a couple of not great studio tracks) but it would definitely be worth getting.

I take back the Chrome reference, actually. 'Weird synthesizers' covers it.

street finds:
everly brothers - roots
new riders of the purple sage - home, home on the road
butterfield blues band - east/west
the incredible broadside brass bed band - grizzly bear hunt (fun private blues stuff. a dylan cover, versions of "cocaine" and "mary don't you weep" and some originals and a long blues jam)

i got CDs today! i only mention that on the vinyl thread for some reason. 2 more of those bevis frond comps - the 2nd volume of his hard rock series and the 2nd volume of his popsike series - and the 2nd volume of wooden hill's psychedelic schlemiels series. the wooden hill stuff is all acetates and demos. impossibly rare gunk. i dig it a bunch. bevis's hard rock series is kinda cool. kinda weird how NOT rare a bunch of stuff he chooses is. just album tracks off of ten dollar albums. not bad stuff, just saying...and still a lot i haven't heard. the popsike stuff is all music i would have a lot harder time finding on my own. one thing about the hard rock comp: it confirms that i REALLY need a copy of the pre-cheap trick band Fuse's one album. so awesome. rick and tom were in Fuse. amazing guitar action.

anyway, vinyl i got in exchange for pricing records at home (something i find very soothing to do. cleaning, listening, bagging, pricing):

african scream contest (haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but not all of it sounds that "raw" and none of what i've heard i would call "psychedelic" but it all sounds good anyway. could you even get acid in benin or togo in the 70's?)

mal waldron - blues for lady day

john prine - s/t (this album is awesome and i'm so sorry that i had him in any way confused with john hiatt or some other boring adult folkie/rootsy types in the past.)

duane allman - an anthology volume 2

ben pollack and his orchestra 1926-31

giorgio & chris - love's in you love's in me (never had this album! and i love it! and i love moroder and i can't believe i've never heard it before!)

the james montgomery band - s/t (on island. allen toussaint producing. nice and funky.)

the lester young story vol.3 - enter the count

sweet emma the bell gal & her new orleans jazz band - sweet emma at heritage hall

rufus thomas - if there were no music

duke ellington - festival session

the salsoul orchestra - street sense

the best of gary u.s. bonds

papa french & his new orleans jazz band - a night at heritage hall

brown/ferguson/terry/washington jam session 1954

the isley brothers - showdown

krokus - one vice at a time

the association - and then...along comes (still need a nice mono copy of this. this is a clean stereo copy.)

earth wind & fire - raise!

john martyn - so far so good (70's best of. well, like, the best of three albums.)

sweet - cut above the rest (so sad, i couldn't remember if i still owned a copy. maybe this is my old copy! i might have traded it in, months ago. but i like this album, so i don't know why i would have.)

hot chocolate - 10 greatest hits

got a couple VGish orig deep groove prestige LPs today, they still sound great.
eddie lockjaw davis - cookbook vol 1
arnett cobb w/ eddie davis - blow, arnett, blow

sandy denny - sandy
kris kristofferson - kristofferson
ginger baker - stratavarious

Haven't listened to any of these yet, but I'm looking forward to them all.

Nat Gonella and his trumpet
Baccara - Sorry Sir I'm A Lady, Yes Sir I Can Boogie and others
Emmylou Harris - Luxury Liner
Strawberry Statement OST (never heard of this at all, but it was a cheap way to get a copy of Down By The River, which I've been singing all week)
Ennio Morricone - Untouchable OST
Creedence Clearwater Revivial - Cosmo's Factory

Went to hardcore punk gig in a squatted industrial unit on Friday and bought these off Active Minds:

active minds - free to be chained LP
active minds - dis is getting pathetic 7"
active minds - you can close your eyes to the horrors of reality 7"
sawn off - s/t LP
state - no illusions 7"

All cheap as chips as well!

one thing about the hard rock comp: it confirms that i REALLY need a copy of the pre-cheap trick band Fuse's one album. so awesome. rick and tom were in Fuse. amazing guitar action.

Funny, I got ahold of that album a couple months back and thought "Scott'll love this." Some time ago, Sony Rewind did an audiophile pressing w/two bonus trax. That's what I have.
