First Night On by Restricted Code, as featured on Kilt by Death, is officially my new favorite song, as of a few months ago.

Tokyo Rosemary, if yr standards are too high for Jake Gyllenhaal, I don't expect you would've seen any treats

Don't I know it.

Fact Checka: You're right; I left for about four hours to go watch the Jets game.
When am I seeing you at the Pub?

Yeah, and is Steinski gonna be there this year? He's my hero.

UNLIKELY.
do you ever look for records at mercer st. books? sometimes there's great stuff there.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Sunday, 22 October 2006 00:45 (seventeen years ago) link

just messing w/ you.

in my experience i've found that mercer place to be not worth my time. lots of garbage none too cheap with a sprinkling of good stuff (quite a few sealed NNCK pressings too) correctly priced. can never find any deals. i thinks its only worthwile if youre after folk/blues/soundtracks.

― ▒█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▒█▄█ , Sunday, 22 October 2006 01:01 (seventeen years ago) link

"correctly priced" = $10 or less?

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Sunday, 22 October 2006 02:07 (seventeen years ago) link

i've never found folk or blues stuff there of any interest--i've gotten some tape music LPs there though that are cool. and sun city girls LP, and Ni**a Please, and some other stuff I can't remember now.

but anyway, talk about FMU some more. I'm not sure i'm gonna be able to go.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Sunday, 22 October 2006 02:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Never been, but thinking of going this year...what's the price range on the stuff? Is it all mostly obscure by ILM standards?

― def zep (calstars), Sunday, 22 October 2006 11:06 (seventeen years ago) link

all over the map...and it fluctuates depending on dealers. There's definitely been more dance music in the last few years, though I didn't go last year because i was a BROKE broke broke. Some dealers will def. have obscure by ILM standards, I mean, when Jim O'Rourke and Thurston and and Byron Coley and Wayne Rogers are selling records, you know they're gonna represent. There's one awesome hip-hop dude where nothing is priced and you're like WOW! because you think they're all 2 dollar records or something then you hand him a pile and he's like, this is 15, this is 20, and you have to put most of them back. Then you get Chuck Warner and Every One of them a Hit and all these dealers with nothing but 7"s from 77-82, that's fun stuff, and local NY stores bringing out their best stuff, Gimme Gimme sold me the impLOG 12" a few years ago, a steal at 35 dollars. Sunday's good because a) people want to sell their shit so they don't have to carry it back to kansas or whatever, and b) WFMU DJs get tables for free, so you instead of everyone being dealer/collectorscum, you get some people just unloading stuff. Best was when Robin Edgerton got rid of all her CDs...I picked up the O Level CD for 6 bucks. I think I'm going this year even though I'm still a broke joke, hopefully those dudes from montreal with all the hi-nrg 12"s nobody cares about will be there again....

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Edgerton will be bringing out a considerable remainder of her voluminous music collection for this one as well; we just moved and are paring down to essentials to the new small house. Bring yer shekels to our table!

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

John Allen's description is great:
Nina Hagen rarities. NJ hardcore classics.

Also Kate/Twisted Village:
Ridin' Dirty. Fri/Sat

Mike of Troubleman:
Disco, Hardcore, Punk, Disco-Punk, all the stuff for the hipsters. The owner of Troubleman Records will be available for autographs. Friday only!

OTM!!

I did buy something off him though ... I think it was Show + AG Runaway Slave

I've only gone to the fair once, it was really hit-or-miss

but fun

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:00 (seventeen years ago) link

There's a jazz guy just like that. He has a TON of great stuff and they all appear to be just regular LPs for a few dollars but nope. It's kind of heartbreaking.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:08 (seventeen years ago) link

HOLY SHIT I'll actually be in town for this. The screenings look cool too:

Kraut Ruben Documentary
Rarely seen German rock! We'll be showing 2 hours worth of excerpts from a WDR German TV series showing some extremely rare, excellent quality videos and TV performances from the cream of 1970's rock scene, including: Popol Vuh, Faust, Organisation, Floh de Cologne, Guru Guru, Broselmaschine, very early Tangerine Dream, and more.

The Fall
Comprehensive BBC Channel 4 documentary documents the three-decade history of Manchester's Fall, live footage, clips, interviews with Mark E. Smith and band members past and present. (60 min)
AV LOUNGE

― alex in montreal (alex in montreal), Friday, 27 October 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep, those are both from my collection --- the WDR stuff is amazing, I put a few clips up on our blog recently - it's from a 6 hour special but I edited out a lot of the less interesting stuff (plus all the interviews were in German), try to catch it.

― Brian Turner (btwfmu), Saturday, 28 October 2006 01:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Feel the rush of imminence!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Brazilian vinyl dealer Wolmar Gottschall is currently playing some lovely jams on Trouble's show, presumably stuff he'll be selling at the record fair. http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/20924

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

This will be my first one in two years. Used to be an annual highlight for me when I lived in New York, much like the Vision Fest, but now I usually miss it because I'm nowhere near NYC. Not the case this year. The rent will have to wait! I'll be the one with a gnarly case of pink eye looking for Quicksilver boots and cheap Jerry Jeff Walker LPs!!

― Wand Milius (Roger Fidelity), Thursday, 2 November 2006 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Best was when Robin Edgerton got rid of all her CDs...

― calvin johnson has ruined rock for an entire generation (orion), Thursday, 2 November 2006 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm coming to this. I'm going to have lots of money and no expectations.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 3 November 2006 01:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll be the guy with the beard.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 3 November 2006 01:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Feel free to say hi, unless I start flailing my arms and hissing like a cat.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 3 November 2006 01:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll be working the FMU LP table Saturday pm, say hi if you already know me. Will get there for the Fall doc at 11:30 tom'w.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 3 November 2006 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll likely see you there, morbs. (poss. making 2 trips, sat. and sun., depending on inclination and how much i spend on the first go-around)

I want to go so bad, i skipped out on the last few, and really feel like I should go tonight, but I'm broke as a joke.

Well, not LOTS lots.

You don't want my life. MY LIFE MY LIFE THE PAXIL DOES NOTHING, etc.

little money, lots of expectations are better.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 4 November 2006 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

good thing there's no ATM in the building

― manute lol (sanskrit), Saturday, 4 November 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

My advice: buy whatever Robin Edgerton tells you to buy.

― Douglas (Douglas), Saturday, 4 November 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I bought:

Club Tango-FTN 7"
Jeff and Jane Hudson-World Trade EP (sealed for 15$!!!)
Slick-Space Bass picture sleeve 12"
Meredith Monk-Key LP
Neptune's Car-Baking Bread 7"
Spherical Objects and Alternomen Unlimited 7"s and Do the Maru, a pretty obscure Object Music comp.
A Mark the 45 King comp of mostly instrumental Flavor Unit stuff
a La Bionda LP
and a few other things....

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 4 November 2006 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

i bought about 30 records, the most of expensive of which was lizzy mercier descloux's press color lp ($15)

― joseph (joseph), Saturday, 4 November 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Robin + I are also bringing a buncha vintage clothing; I'm parting with a few really nice pearl button shirts and she's unloading a slew of quirky blouses and such.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Saturday, 4 November 2006 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder if Forks or Robin is more my size!

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Saturday, 4 November 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link
