Rolling 2009 Vinyl Thead

i want to go to there

i dig that bottin record. saw mike s. dj here in dc on friday night and he was a good time.

sweet. never seen him but I'm gonna try to go to glass candy/nite jewel in nyc in march, he's djing between the bands

had not heard of bottin before this record but he's also got a track on that "cosmic balearic beats" sampler

nice interview here with my friend cosmo about collecting vinyl:

http://dustandgrooves.blogspot.com/2009/01/cosmo-baker-brooklyn-ny.html

grabbed the new silver mt. zion and also found "daft club" cheap on ebay

i really need to find a better mn place for vinyl than cheapo.

heh "new" silver mt zion would be about a year old or so. new to me.

my lp12 is being reconditioned by house of linn, so in the meantime been buying from my favourite retailer

can't bring myself to open the aidan moffat yet, but it looks beautiful.

If you live in Seattle/Tacoma...Disc Connection Records in Tacoma are giving away records this Saturday!

Thought it was long gone, but I managed to get a sealed copy of the Dock Boggs Revenant 2LP from 50 miles of elbow room. He's also got the Charlie Feathers 3LP but my bank account couldn't take the hit.

hey gnarly, i ALSO just got a copy of Dock Boggs revenant double LP from 50moer! nuts.

other things recent...

hackamore brick - one kiss leads to another
dorothy carter - troubadour
gene clark - no other (these first three finally showed up in the mail!)

rallizes denudes - live 77 double LP boot
Together LP (private NJ acid folk, male/female vox, actually quite good. my copy is a little noisy but it's an expensive record when clean, so no major complaints here.)
the olympics - something old, something new
v/a - anthology of american folk music volume 4
prince buster - what a hard man fe dead
jackie opel - cry me a river
howling wolf - this is howlin wolf's new record... (nice clean original, cheap.)
harry partch - the bewitched
the jive bombers - bad boy
carlton & the shoes - love me forever
der tpk - games for slaves (finally took a copy home.)
sun city girls - fruit of the womb / the police deception (newest volume in Eclipse's cassette re-issue series. really nice double LP, gatefold, period-photos... getting into heavy noise-prog territory here. awesome.)

AAAAAAAND, if you guys will allow me to self-promote for a minute, the shop I work for just started a record label to reissue old & out of print, rare LPs etc. The first one is now out and it's Ofege's "Try & Love" LP. It was recorded by Nigerian high school students in '73, has great vocal harmonies, killer upbeat riddims and lots of fuzz guitar. It is awesome. $14+s/h if anyone's intersted, e-mail academy✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ and I will take good care of you. A photo & slightly more info available @ www.academyannex.com

oops, the e-mail address IS

My copy skips on a few tracks on the first side, actually. You notice anything with yours?? Sugar Baby plays OK anyway. Love that tune. Only realised when I stuck it on that Junkpile Jimmy's version was a cover. His double from a year or so ago is unbelievable btw. Any of you guys would love it.

And is that Hackamore Brick a reissue? I know it's kind of a sainted lost record 'n' all, but to be honest, it didn't knocked me out in the way that I thought it might. Slow burner maybe.

I'm also getting a big kick out of a Rome Johnson compilation on Cattle records. He used to be in the Sons of the Pioneers, and this record is some absolutely faultless Western Swing, which I can't seem to get enough of at the moment.

Here's a drawing of Rome:

ha, so strange seeing all the revenant discussion; i was about to chip in and say that there was this one store at the fmu record fair with like two boxes of records, split between all the revenant stuff i thought didn't exist anymore, and things like old OOP bonnie prince billy singles. it's the same place. $35 for anthology four doesn't seem so bad: don't you get a free HARRY SMITH POSTER?

your nigerian record looks interesting, ian

i actually haven't GOTTEN the boggs ish yet, i'm supposed to meet up with adam this week at great jones or something.

hackamore brick isn't a reissue--got a used copy from the time-lag mailing list. I've been looking for it for a few years now, since a friend of mine at work played it for me. It's a pretty all-over-the-place record, but there's something about the guitars & the songs that get into my head. "am/fm/am/pm/all day/all night/ray-dee-oooooh."

went to SF on valentine's day weekend and picked up a few lps:

miles davis - miles in the sky
elmer snowden - harlem banjo
jim hall - it's nice to be with you
root damage (sympathy for the record industry double lp comp)
i woke up one morning in may

psyched for that ofege record - i've heard a track or two compiled and i like it a bunch. any more afro stuff in the works? debating the scg deedlio too.

recent purchases: good copies of transfiguration of blind joe death, central line s/t, the beyond the implode reissue, new captured tracks & sacred bones releases, FINALLY a copy of hot snakes' audit in progress, and the scientists' blood red river.

hey pretzel walrus, ahve you gotten yer capture trax/sacred boners package yet?? or did you get them in a shop? i'll enclose a treat for you if i see it going out. there are two more releases coming up in the next few months... SJOB Movement, and Mebusas.

wow mebusas! that is really awesome!

yeah i got them today, but i think i'm gonna make an academy order @ some point in the near future. will kit. also the lady and i may be making a trip up to nyc soon. MUST HANG!

of course dog

I got the beyond the impload reissue too, which was a relief after my last Siltbreeze order went astray.

Also picked up the Rebel's Sacred Bones LP and Live Aids 7" after seeing them on a triple bill that included a duo of Anla Courtis and one of the dudes from Volcano the Bear. The Rebel was inspiringly excellent live. It's him, his cute wife on drums and a bassist. Made writing catchy songs look very simple indeed.

The Rebel, when playing live in the US, is a diff't line-up, mostly country teasers folks IIRC. And the dude from Volcano the Bear (Aaron) is on that Amolvacy record, which is one of my absolute faves from last year. New LP coming out as soon as they can get a label for it--I guess Blackvelvetfuckere is kinda sleeping.

details here. not sure if there are any left, but there were still copies as of two weeks ago.

Thanks. Pity it's not a full reissue of the EP but good to see some interest in the band I guess.

cool deal ZR

btw dum dum girls is hella tight

whoa according to popsike, the 7.99 orange vinyl copy of siamese dream i got at SF amoeba is like a $50-60 record!

if i didnt love the record so much, id sell it

DISARM

im sayin

Emerson's Old Timey Custard Suckin' Band

Dreamies 'Programs Nine & Ten' (reish; totally bonkers audio collage/pop-psych. two 25 minute long pieces.)

sam & viv: the country gospel tones 'gospel songs country style' (i listened to this expecting it to be really boring jeebus country, but it's good. a husband/wife duo who both sing; he fiddles, she picks. they're competent for sure, and the interplay is nice if not exactly "hot". I don't know what year it's form, but it seems pretty dang early. The sleeve references a regional hit they had in '51, and also a tour in '54. and it's Canadian!)

Mike Gangloff brought a grip of vinyl with him to the T/F festival this weekend. I bought
Charalambides Rose/Thorn
Pelt A Stone for Angus Maclise
Spiral Joy Band Pleasure is the Headlight
Jack Rose Dr Ragtime and his Pals
He had a Jack Rose/Black Twig Pickers collab 7" that one of the dudes with him said was the best thing out of all the stuff that he brought but it was priced at Ten dollars so I didn't buy it. I tried to buy it the next day but Mike had already left town with all the vinyl. Patrick Best and Mikkael Dimmik were playing two more sets for the festival and Pat told me that a 12" with better recording quality was in the works, anyway. All the Pelt/Spiral Joy Band sets I saw this weekend were great.

Got the Abner Jay LP on Mississippi. Glad to have this one without having to shell out for an orig. Nice job with the inserts too!

oh cool beans. it looks like there's a seven inch too; is that included?

someone was telling me stories about abner jay being rosetta tharpe's tour manager recently, i don't know if that's true or not

not included but we also have that in stock.

This may not be the appropriate thread to post this, but anyone with more $$$ than myself should check this out:

A whole bunch of VU/Eno/Cale/Reed records. 4 hours to go! I'm tempted to go for it even though I know I shouldn't.

oh dip....mmmmmm...i am glad/mad you showed me that!

fuck it.

how is that fucked up year of the rat??

I dunno if I'm super impressed on first couple of listens... it sort of reminds me of the other 12" they did in this series on this label, Year Of The Dog, in that it's a notably 'unpunk' slowburner with ponderous squally guitars... all good except I just don't think FU do those that well. Having said that it has a pretty good chorus and there's plenty of time to get on board with it y'know

Pebbles 3- the acid gallery
13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere

during my one day in Lima (Peru) I managed to find a whole mini-mall selling used vinyl. I have almost no space or weight left in our luggage, so I only bought two albums - one of quena (flute) songs that sounded pretty good, on Philips from the 60's or 70's. I checked out some of their rare Peruvian psych (under the counter of course) and talked records with the dudes, they were definitely aware of the collectors market. They had a Traffic Sound LP for $40 that was VG- at best, and also some Telegraph Ave LPs that I didn't price. For the other record I ended up going for a Chilean record by a band called Los Jaivas, called Alturas De Machu Picchu. I think some of the words are by Pablo Neruda, he is credited on the cover as well. Only heard a bit in the store but it was good-sounding piano-driven psych-prog stuff. And since the cover was trashed with stickers and ringwear, it was only 7 bucks. Then I went down the aisle a bit and got a bunch of CDR copies of rare stuff like El Polen.

man the internet really ruined finding great scores
