Rolling 2009 Vinyl Thead

it is totally great. we've got it at ac@demy. i don't think it's super expensive. around $20 maybe. you can listen before you buy. it's all sung in french, and half of it is really gorgeous rustic indie stuff and the other half is noisier, more chaotic stuff.

I love that Pigeons LP too. really nice stuff.

Hey rolling vinyl fans, anyone want to give me some advice?

I've started volunteering at Cancer Research, going through all their media section and some records popped up that I'm pretty certain will be worth quite a bit more than the £3 or whatever they sell for in the shop. These are records that caught my eye:

The Beta Bad - Champions Versions EP
The Beta Band - The Patty Patty Sound EP (the last of the three EPs wasn't there)
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible (Picture Disc Version)
Radiohead - My Iron Lung (it was specifically numbered as if it was part of a limited amount or something, I dunno if that means anything)
And two Super Furry Animals 7" - Moog Droog EP and what I wrote down as 'Llanfairpwllgwyngetc.'

Any of them worth anything? Worth sticking on ebay or something? I told the manager to at least leave them out back for while I ask around, it seems it would be a waste if they went for a couple quid if they are worth a tenner plus. All for charity, and so on.

(All in pretty good condition from first look, obviously not sealed but no scratches, no problems with the covers etc.)

Llanfair EP is on sale for a fiver at Discogs; that surprised me slightly but there were probably a fair amount pressed and SFA have never been especially collectible anyway

THB pic LP, meanwhile, is £25 on aformentioned site

Cheers!

hello will probably be on here much more often now that i have finally unpacked my player and vinyl for the first time in 3 years (o_O)

just ordered the Torche - Meandrethal on lizard skin vinyl - looks so hawt.

Beta Band "Champion versions" went for £50 or thereabouts recently (cf: Popsike)

Great! And also, where should I sell these things? Ebay? Somewhere else? It seems a bit complicated given that it isn't for me, so I'm gonna go back and talk to them first about it all after I've done a bit of research.

for those who heaven't seen it:

My guess is that eBay would have the biggest potential amount of ppl looking at it but Popsike would more likely attract more collector-y types who'd be more likely to pay what the record is actually worth?

that sounds good. i think i heard the rustic stuff; i still have a one minute clip off boomkat or something that went round and round despite being the least fulfilling way of listening to shitty quality music ever. talking of acadamie, am i totally too late to get the zola jesus stuff anywhere? hearing her on fmu reminded me i meant to buy one of the singles (maybe if one had rester on it).

maybe will pop in if you're getting the two new mississippis sometime?

i think both zola jesus singles are gone gone, but there's at least one LP forthcoming. I'll let you know when we get the MS records in, as per usual.

what are those new mississippi comps? i'm totally losing track over here.

spiritual singers reissue, and http://www.goner-records.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4282 that, a last kind words sequel apparently.

last kind words is the blind spot in my first-wave MS comps. i have it, but i dont jam it all the time. maybe woke one morning... will bring me around to it! the spiritual singers LP is right up my alley, though. psyched to death for that one.

Just ordered Standing on the Verge of Getting it On and Let's Take it the Stage Funkadelic G/F's from Amazon.

Picked up Station to Station at a recent Amoeba mission.

last kind words is the blind spot in my first-wave MS comps

it's great! check the lottie kimbrough guitar thing and lulu jackson's careless love. all my lps are a long way away so i haven't heard it for a while, but it's a nice one. it's pretty similar to the recent fight on one.

I just picked up this Stephen O'Malley 12" on Table of the Elements from Other Music today. Everything that label releases is so beautiful looking...I'll report back with how it is later once I get home and listen to it.

whoa long time no update!

traded in some stuff, and got:
southern folk heritage series: white spirituals
southern folk heritage series: roots of blues
southern folk heritage series: blue ridge mountain music
dead c - golden/canine tour 12" (clear vinyl, spins inside-->out)
elvin jones/richard davis - heavy sounds
the bengal minstrel: music of the bauls (nonesuch)
bali gamelan (archiv)
faith/void YESSSSSS
ratas del vaticano s/t
panda bear - person pitch

lots of termbo-ish stuff in the mail to me, too...

My guess is that eBay would have the biggest potential amount of ppl looking at it but Popsike would more likely attract more collector-y types who'd be more likely to pay what the record is actually worth?

I should clarify: Popsike is an archive of ebay completed auctions. Vinyl only. Cuts off at £20 I think (£30 possibly)...

The Stephen O'Malley 12" turned out to be kind of disappointing. Really not as good as I had anticipated.

How does everyone feel about the Group Bombino record on Sublime Frequencies? As good as Group Inerane?

yeah after a few spins I like it better than Inerane I think. the second side is insane. (side 1 acoustic stuff is nice too)

recent buys:
wavves lp on woodsist
"funky alternatives" comp. lp from the 80s (23 skiddoo, DAF, tackhead etc)
cage & aviary - television train 12" on d.f.abroad

the last song on group bombino is WILD

Royal Trux - Twin Infinitives reissue
Hospitals - Hairdryer Peace
Deutschland: A Compilation Of New German Music w/ Pyrolator, Der Plan, Palais Schaumburg, Die Krupps, etc
BYO: Something to Believe In eary hardcore comp
Tom Verlaine s/t
Akitsa/Prurient split
Alice Cooper - Killer
Angry Samoans - Inside My Brain/Back from Samoa reissues
Zero Boys - History of...
Nicodemus - The Strange Saga Henryetta Flagetta
Gauze - Fuck Heads
Dagmar Krause - Supply & Demand
JFA - Valley of the Yakes

Some 7"s...
Carbonas first 7" repress
Nikkie Light Crusade (aka Leslie Q) - Solipsism

And a great party 12" by THUNDERSTICK:

...the masked drummer who plays in a cage

i've tried not to buy so much stuff this week, but i ended up with a few more records in the house anyway.

freestyle band s/t LP
yank rachell - complete recordings in chronological order vol. 1
a nicer copy of the Backwards Sam Firk "True Blues & Gospel" on Adelphi
josquin des pres 'missa hercules dux farrariae and four instrumental & vocal motets"
palestrina 'missa papae marcelli'
"Notre Dame Organa: Leoninus and Perotinus Magister'
janos starker 'dvorak cello concerco/faure elegie for cello and orchestra'
v/a 'favorite country blues piano & guitar duets'

JFA - Valley of the Yakes

oh man so so so so tite

How does everyone feel about the Group Bombino record on Sublime Frequencies? As good as Group Inerane?

B SIDE SMOKES. some of the craziest e-gtr playing i've ever heard.

in recent month or so?

bought an LP called "sack heil" by a german person called harald SACK ziegler because it was odd-looking, odd-sounding and cheap. pretty great homemade arty/dada garage pop, kinda cute, often abrasive, mostly WTF. plus good tunes

also saxon "the eagle has landed", which rules

also wetnurse LP on seventh rule, which doesn't sound like anything else, plus rules

also comp of foul-mouthed 20s/30s lady blues singers on sub-rosa, very nice

and also exc comp of oddball gospel musics from whenever on mississippi, "oh graveyard..."

also hammers of misfortune "fields" & "church of broken glass" & "the august engine" (former 2 awesome, latter 1 not so much)

also a wierd "remixed" version of professor longhair "rock & roll gumbo" on dancing cat records, apparently an imprint of windham hill. (???) said remixing said to consist of bringing up the pieaner and adding horns to one track. fun to have around

also a copy of 1st jim carrol band lp, which i love more than is reasonable, but though it looked good, doesn't sound any better than wot i already had (noisy, worn)

also drain LP "pick up heaven", which it turns out it sucks, but only cost a couple bucks

also snakeflower II lp called something or other - who are snakeflower the II? sounds like nuggets + voidoids + modern strokes/american death ray + maybe some surf guitar stuff. pretty almost great

also lover! "gathered in th graveyard" LP on some kind of otherworldly mystery label, which is good, but not as good as awesome rob's house 45

also singals by music such as nobunny, lover! and i dunno, maybe others. none especially great, except that one rob's house lover!, which is. oh, and idle times on woodsist, which is super great, but also on woodsist, so should be looked at askance

I will probably make a trip to Goner this weekend during my emergency visit to Memphis to try and figure out why the hell my brother has wrecked two cars in the last month and a half, gotten two DUI's, and can't seem to move out of my parents house. I think I need to get some of Rich C's LOVER! output.

i just ordered group bombino, vv excited

gott otm, but i really love trancing out and chilling to the acoustic side.

Bought Red Aunts' #1 Chicken a few weeks ago for a buck. Just about the best buck I ever spent.

Today splurged on brand-new vinyl x2: Wolf Parade At Mount Zoomer and Neil Diamond's Home Before Dark. Both were advertised to include a download of the album. Only one had a valid URL to head to for that purpose. And it wasn't Sub Pop who dropped the ball. Hey Columbia: FUCK YOU I'M STEALING IT.
