Rolling 2009 Vinyl Thead

yo ian thanks but I got both of those before, my local store now carries some Mississippi stuff.

excited about new SRB, didn't know at all.

The Freak of Araby, haha .. Out in May, I think.

Oh, I don't think I mentioned but for the first time in AGES i found a good record in a thrift shop! Jackie McClean "One Step Beyond" on Blue Note, VG+ (occasional light surface noise.)

that IS a good find. blue notes in thrift stores are pretty rare in my experience.

yeah, they don't turn up often. especially in playable shape--not that this one is perfect of course.
a guy i knew bought a stack of 'em at the Greenpoint (brooklyn) salvation army and made a profit of several hundred bucks; smooth move.

also oops, mclean not mcclean by bad.

i got a couple of Loren Mazzacane Connors singles last week too. And a better copy of Vincebus Eruptum, and the Klezmorim LP with the Crumb cover (for passover) and in the mail i got the Sun City Girls/Ruins "Dulce" soundtrack.

new NSFW arrival:
psychedelic horseshit -- golden oldies

huh.
just noticed that my copy of axis: bold as love skips but it's on a totally sick break. lovin it.

ian help me out i'm playing loveless right now
and as much as i do love it i equally enjoy your succinct one line description
= "a yuppie couple having an argument?"

Latest vinyl haul = $40 worth of $1 / $1.50 LPs at the Austin Record Convention yesterday:

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" Great purchases for a buck or less

And here's $7.58 I spent at a thrift store last week:

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" Great purchases for a buck or less

the real trick for loveless is just to turn it up as much as your neighbors will allow...
never really spent much time with that record after college.

boston chinks -- coltrane 7"
v/a -- under the coconut tree (orig music caribbean comp LP from GEMM so we'll see if this actually happens)

couple things from SF rasputin, which i like better than the berkeley location so far:
king tuff -- was dead
LCD soundsystem -- confuse the marketplace 12"
human sexual response -- fig 14
SE rogie -- african lady (not my favorite SE rogie, but was only $6 so np)
wavves -- wavvves (these wavves records are pretty good! i don't get the orgiastic pitchfork response or the ridic termbo backlash, but they're fun records!)

btw kudos to chuck for making me feel good about my future by his use of

First time I've owned this in decades

SE rogie -- african lady

getting palm wine guitar on vinyl (for real cheap, just because i've missed out on getting it cheaply a bunch of times) is my main goal in life

Just got Kitchens of Distinction's The Death Of Cool for 2 bucks

yeah finding highlife records is def one of my top record goals these days too...

LPs @ 3/$1:

Sherbs The Skill (ATCO 1980)(If I had known these guys were Auzzies trying to crack the lucrative US charts with a new wave makeover I might not have picked up this one. Based on the cover I thought this might be a dark wave opera about Nadia Comăneci. I was wrong. Will file under "basically uninteresting"; however is reminiscent of generic 80s film stks.)

Hawks Hawks (CBS 1981)(not The Band. I guess these dudes were into Sparks but they never really approach such heights. That being said, I probably would not change the station on them.)

The Brass Ring Only Love (Dunhill 1968)(More or less typical Now Sound with the same songs that show up on every other Now Sound LP [Alpert, Webb, Popp, etc.] Good version of The Odd Couple theme. No Moog.)

Upper Perkiomen Schools Highlights of the Spring Concert 1967 (Custom Pressing 1967) (The elementary band has that out of tune and rhythmless sound I go for, the upper grades are just kind of OK)

XTC Black Sea (Virgin 1980)('sup Geir)

Eric Burden & The Animals Winds of Change (MGM 1967) (Tom Wilson production; as 1967 as it gets)

got a couple of those limited Howling Hex LPs today,
and Kurt Vile "God Is Saying This To You.

Yesterday, got the Tar Pet LP and Henry Flynt "Raga Electric."

Today
Kinski - Down Below It's Chaos
Stars Of The Lid - And Their Refinement Of The Decline
Crippled Black Phoenix - A Love Of Shared Disasters
Neil Diamond's Hot August Nights for a buck

love that stars of the lid.

Smog - Knock Knock lp
Gal Costa - s/t (1st) lp
Cave - Hunt Like Devil ep / Jamz ep
The Hunches - Exit Dreams lp
Crystal Stilts - Love is a Wave 7"
Kurt Vile - The Hunchback ep
Gris Gris - Live at the Creamery lp
Bonnie Prince Billy - Beware lp

ian what is the limited-edition howling hex record?

yeah - like, the first few he put out on drag city?

yeah, the first three on drag city. i missed picking 'em up at the time and they sort of became hard to find, right? DC lists the third one as still available on their website, but i'm not counting on it.

city worker: how is the Hunchback EP? I like the Kurt Vile "God Is Saying This..." LP but the idea of a full band "crazy horse style" seems too distant for me to get excited abt. I like the "Constant Hitmaker" LP on Woodsist (which I guess is a straight reissue of the Gulcher CD?) fine.

anni3 was ordering the new bill callahan last week and told me about how the third howling hex was available, so we gave it a shot, too! i wasnt sure if it was part of a limited re-release or something...

i've always seen them around and never expensively, although limited. i think you can get them through hmv if anyone's looking. some of the pop stuff he was doing is great, really vibrant poppin' take on de colores, and almost girl groupy stuff like breakaway that precedes the newer things like faithful sister.

My bro was telling me about Drug Wars, another band that Kurt Vile is in. I want to hear it. Blastitude likes the Hunchback ep, fwiw.

Oh wait I guess they are The War on Drugs.

Aside from one track ("Losing It") it's a bit different from the dreamy and/or fingerpicked vibe of the other two. It's more loud guitars and maybe more spacemen 3 jam than crazy horse style at times. I like it quite a bit so far, but a little pricey for 6 tracks/18 min (I'm a cheapo).

the war on drugs are good. live they're like some suicide/spacemen 3 thing with a drummer who looks kinda like gary farmer and a singer who sings like dylan but not in the shitty way where he's singing like dylan. on record it's a little bit tidier and indier. but they're fun. i picked up wagonwheel blues after seeing them.

;_;

tried to change my lil numark's cartridge the morning and broke a wire. no work turntable for a week.

waaaaaaaaht. that sucks dog. i've never had problems changing the needle on my guy; i gotta switch it out when i listen to 78s!

jammed the "new"(old) NNCK record today, dug it.
also jamming the Henry Flynt reissues on Locust; mostly the Backporch Hillbilly Blues series & Raga Electric, which are all A++ material.

RSD stuff (cross-listed forgive me):

pavement - live in cologne LP (colored edition 1/95!)
jesus lizard 9x7" set
obits 7"
arthur russell - love is overtaking me 2xLP (whats the deal? will the regular be a single-LP?)
sonik youth splits

non-RSD stuff:
nocera - lets go 12"
pixies - surfer rosa
charles manson - lie
the kinks are the village green pres soc'y
god bless the kinks

i think the russell has been out on CD for a while and this is the first LP release limited to 1000 copies. i think.

in honor of rekkerd store day, i bought these records. at an antique store.

man, it was so great to see Voivod back in the day when they ruled. Snake is my hero

holy shit, this sonoma album has THE fattest fuckin' break beat on it.

the arthur russell album is gorgeous.

btw...holy shit finally got Who Will Save the World? by the Groundhogs....fucking IN LOVE

Saw the Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live at Fillmore 1970 (1st release in the "archives series") at the local chain record store on my annual look through their used vinyl. It took me by surprise. It was priced 27.99, which I figured was probably close to what I'd find it for online, and since it is my favorite Neil Young thing ever, I just decided to shell out for it. Got the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack, too.
"Waffle Stomp" by Joe Walsh is really something else.

the cowgirl in the sand on that record is totally bonkers!

I love it all! Would like to hear more live NY and Crazy Horse with Danny Whitten.

that 1970 NY & CH album is the best representation of the Whitten band, though if you dig around you can find bootlegs of that tour -- the Cincinnati show is esp. good.

just came in the mail:

bishop perry tillis -- in times like these*
the rats -- intermittent signals*
cold cave -- the trees grew emotions and died
v/a -- under the coconut tree: music from grand cayman and tortola (orig music!)

*bent corners, side-splits :( hopefully MS recs will let me mail back the jackets for new ones...

our whole box of rats recs was kinda beat up. doubled boxed & everything, but it took forever to show up. maybe a local postal worker has a beef with msr

their small-box shipments are wrapped too tight, in boxes too small.

your mom's box is too small :\

you mom reads termbo

your moms mom reads termbo AND williamsboard
