Rolling 2008 Vinyl Thread

i will check it out. amoeba's garage stuff mostly runs to the shittier end of sftri/estrus, but i did find all that stuff in there so maybe there's some hope. i totally regret not picking up some of that cartwright/oblivians-related vinyl when i had a chance to a few years ago, esp the compulsive gamblers stuff which is really hard to find now.

You liked the Romance Novels 45, Ian? Couldn't get into it, and I've liked just about everything else on the label. Especially Blank Dogs & Static Static.

I actually haven't heard the 2nd Romance Novels, only the first, but that one I really liked.

Blank Dogs... well, LOL is all I can say, I guess.

I'm not into synthy punk, really.
The best Blank Dogs is the 1st 12" i'd say (2nd press coming soon)

I like the 1st 12-inch, but mostly for the tape fhuzz and "Ambulance". For tunes, I prefer the 2nd 12 and the singles. Especially "Outside Alarmer". Not really suitable for 'garage rock at a bar,' I guess.

Another suggestion for Gear would be the 1st Nothing People 45 on s-srecords, the one with "Twinkie Defense" which is some bastard child of the 13th floor elevators and hawkwind.

Haven't heard it. Sounds cool. What about that Duchess & the Duke 45 w/ "Reservoir Park" & "Mary"? Too pretty, I guess.

this weekend:

Ian Matthews - Valley Hi (replacing my $1 beater with a minty fresh one)
A.R. Kane - Up Home EP
Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson
Milton Nascimento - Miltons
Martin Denny - Quiet Village
Julius Hemphill - Dogon A.D. (this took me a suprisingly long time to find! I live in St. Louis so always figured I'd find the private press at a garage sale or dumpster. Great album.)

god i LOVE Valley Hi!

I would like to have more early A.R. Kane stuff - in addition to 69 and the "Lolita" 12-inch, which I've already got and love. Any S/D recs?

search: When You're Sad 12"

<i>god i LOVE Valley Hi!</i>

oh my god, me too. "These Days" cover is so good.

I would like to have more early A.R. Kane stuff - in addition to 69 and the "Lolita" 12-inch, which I've already got and love. Any S/D recs?

I think the Up Home 12" is my favorite A.R. Kane release. The track Up especially - I sold the Luaka Bop best of a few years ago and would get serious cravings for Up. It's more majestic than anything else I've heard by them. And the mix of Baby Milk Snatcher is better than the album version, in my opinion.

Cool, thanks for the recs. Course, these things never seem to turn up in the States, but it's still nice to know what to look for.

Haha the dude in this photo is an acquaintance

(from way upthread but I felt like noting it)

I order Teils Teils. But what I *really* want is the Vinyl-On-Demand Asmus-o-rama!

And everything else on the label!!

Except it's all ££££££!!!

There was a 2lp reissue of Peter Grudzien's The Unicorn in this week's Time Lag update. It's 40 dollars. Is it worth it?

Topic cover of Adieu To Old England = 100x better than the CD reissue. I wish I had some Shirley vinyl.

Anyone familiar with Silicon Teens' Music For Parties? Worth buying? I've only heard a few tracks which I liked but didn't know if the whole album holds up. But I loves me some Daniel Miller.

the Tietchens box set on VOD is so worth it. White vinyl as well = double worth it

i need a way to steal the Broken Flax box though, and the M.B. one

Considering it's already unavailable and gone from most distributors, YES! Yes! Yes! The 2nd LP is really amazing stuff from various periods. Awesome down & out fucked up cowboy vibes.

I've emailed Nemo to see if it's still available. Been hearing about this one for years.

Now playing:
UN LP on Siltbreeze.

before that:
Bexar Bexar one-sided 12". Field recording of a fireworks display with some minimal piano. Real positive kinda vibes.

I listened to The Futuristic Folk of the Tower Recordings last night.
I'll probably pull out Tonight! One Night Only! MV and EE in Heaven lp and the first Strapping Fieldhands lp (and a bunch of other stuff) for the radio show tonight.

This morning I am listening to Moby Grape "Truly Fine Citizen" and Fleetwood Mac s/t. "Rhiannon" is helping the indigestion.

Tim Buckley - Greetings From LA and Happy Sad.

woooooow ^ so envious man

didn't get em both today, but listening to 'em.
greeting from LA isn't super hard to find. people seem more likely to get rid of that one than the others. (by people, i guess i mean "psych/folk" collectors.)

Yeah I just did a search on eBay and I guess I've just never looked for it before. Nonetheless, envious that you got to it before me!

envy is a quality unbecoming a steendriver.

today got

Feliciano! - Jose Feliciano
Riot - Joe Bataan (one of the awesome awesome Fania reishs)
Happy Sad - Tim Buckley :D :D :D

envy is a quality unbecoming a steendriver.

this made me lol, for real.

Welcome to L.A. is a real fucked up harrowing deathtrip...i always thought if there was a midground between santana and U.S. maple that was it.

i don't have happy sad, i have goodbye and hello though and it's great

last nite i had a dream that i spent $155 on records at this huge outdoor record convention. the guy gave me a deal on them because he knew my brother. i kept misplacing my stash. so much anxiety. you should have seen the covers! so beautiful. then i woke up. record dream #32453.

The Happy Sad I have is all skippy! First track on both sides virtually unlistenable!

:( :( ;_;

Blue Afternoon by Tim Buckley is the shit. My Happy Sad is in bad shape, as well. I Sent off for that Peter Grudzien reissue. I also decided to pick up the Wooden Wand 10" that is a reissue of the subscription only cd that they did for three lobed. My ex-bandmate is all over it, I figured it would be nice to have. I miss that guy.

last nite i had a dream that i (bought/found/stole) records at this (place)... i kept misplacing my stash. so much anxiety. you should have seen the covers! so beautiful. then i woke up.

I have this exact same dream, one of thousand variations on it, at least once a month, if not once a week. Always w/ sadness on waking. Recently, it involved finding a bunch of mysterious Cop Shoot Cop singles somewhere, which when played sounded more like The Jesus and Mary Chain. One of the imaginary dream songs was very nice and stayed stuck in my head for most of the following day before disappearing.

the worst are the ones where i don't have time to look/people are hurrying me up/i don't have any money/i can't actually SEE clearly what i'm looking at. your standard interruptus type dream. so maddening.

yeah I have those too. positive version: flipping through crazy records that I've NEVER SEEN BEFORE that all look REALLY COOL. negative version: flipping through college radio stacks and stacks and stacks and I can't find what I'm looking for while my last song ends and I've got DEAD AIR ZOMG.

currently in an all-vinyl weekend, there are two events here in town. Last night there was this microbrew festival that is a benefit for a local radio station and they always have a music donation drive and then sell random stuff for super cheap (i.e. a dollar per record regardless of condition). I got in line early and came away with about 25 records... two Ian Matthews (inspired by ian upthread, "If You Could See Thro My Eyes" is really great!), a Peter Lang on Flying Fish (good but I dunno about his voice), the Bongos LP, Japan's Tin Drum, Prince's For You, B-52's Mesopotamia, a few later Yes albums I didn't have, some nice mint Ali Farka Toure and Thomas Mapfumo recs, etc. They bring new stuff in today but I don't wanna pay $10 entry fe again.

Tomorrow is the 20th annual Eugene record convention and I am splitting a table with a friend. Last years was insane.

<I>some nice mint Ali Farka Toure</I>

!!! Wow, jealoustown. Listening to Maher Shalal Hash Baz, an eighties/nineties Tori Kudo group. Earlier it was Lee Hazlewood "Requiem For An Almost Lady."

was listening to steve hillage and other new age boners while drinking a kombucha trying to depressurize from the hell of assembling a new bed.

now i have bro la tango's heart beating as one on. best idea i've had in a week. why do i ghettoize indie rock to the lowest, hardest to reach expedit cube?

today i got
trans am- illegal ass 12"
mouse on mars- couche cair naif 12"
king kong- funny farrm lp
plush- found a little baby 7"
grateful dead- blues for allah lp
history of the jams lp

psyched on all the cheap used 90s indie at academy

^^^ i sold those to you this afternoon.
