bought today:

cowsills - captain sad and his ship of fools

buster - s/t (excellent 70's glampop! their cover of born to be wild is hottttt!!!)

windbreakers - the disciples of agriculture (mitch easter/richard barone byrds jangle i've never heard. french pressing.)

david riordan & rob moitoza - sweet pain too (suxx, but i'm on a david riordan kick. we've all been there.)

barry allen - s/t (fat funky horn fuzz rock on uni courtesy of randy bachman.)

tropea - short trip to space (i should have a t-shirt that sez: "will buy anything on marlin/t.k.")

cyril havermans - cyril (aching hippie folk rock backed by the band Focus.)

aliotta haynes jeremiah... - Lake Shore Drive (a.k.a LSD. it would probably sound better on LSD. i'm sorta fond of these guys for no good reason. I still listen to the Ampex album I have of theirs and I can't honestly say why.)

klaatu - sir army suit (needed clean copy. found one. for two bucks. took me awhile.)

wackers - hot wacks (not a huge fan. but, again, two bucks for wlp.)

crust - s/t (trance syndicate buttholes thing.)

hard meat - s/t (nice clean copy. i could listen to this kinda shit till the cows come home.)

ratchell - s/t

nonoyesno - lederhosenverbot (some weird helios creed-involved EP. sounds like helios creed.)

the scene is now - total jive (didn't much like them when i was younger. like them more now.)

berlin airlift - s/t (1982 powerpop.)

got

some kurt vile records HOPPIN THE OLD BANDWAGON YET AGAIN
princess nicotine
popol vuh - tantric songs

sent away for the new captrued tracks bundle -- ill be thrilled if its 1/2 as good as the last one

how much for the Princess Nicotine?

30 clams

good sound, smells like it was previously owned by the marlboro man LOL PRINCESS NICOTINE

haha

FROM A SMOKE-FREE HOME

30 sounds about right ... curious if the SF CD the exact same as the LP

its not! im unsure whether the LP has "my darling's love arrow," cause anni3 and i just listened to side 2 and i expected it to end with that one, but no dice...

princess nicotine is a sweet score, pete!

for me since the last update that i can remember:
la monte young well-tuned piano box
bud powell - piano interpretations (verve)
derek bailey - music and dance
group bombino LP (had it on hold for a while, brought home.)
v/a - goin back to tifton (blues & rags, field recordings from ALBANY of all places.)
bishop perry tillis - in times like these...
robbie basho - grail & the lotus
v/a - really! the country blues (origin jass library)
keith jarret - restoration ruin (pretty amazing jazzy/funky rock album)
yo la tengo - i can hear the heart...
v/a - instrumental music of the southern appalachians (field recordings, on Tradition)
bukka white - parchman farm (the complete early recordings)
the nihilist spasm band - record
george edwards group - 38:38 (for fans of Trimble, Warlus et al.)
henry flynt - raga electric

i like that GE group rec!

i've been pretty lax on the vinyl acquisitions lately.

the handsome family - honey moon

picked up 20 7"s for £5 at a boot sale. mostly randoms. amongst the better picks:

Hank Mizell & Bobo - Jungle Rock
Fashion - Streetplayer-Mechanik
Pigbag - Gettin Up
T.T. Ross - Jealousy
Olympic Runners - The Bitch

picked up some more thrift store stuff

Manzanera - K-Scope <-- pretty nice. sweet bassline on "Gone Flying"
Climax Blues Band - Sample and Hold <-- sucks
Steve Kahn - Tightrope <-- cheesy fusion but has one or two decent songs (track called "Some Punk Funk" doesn't live up to the title)
Instant Funk - No Stoppin' That Rockin' 12"
couple others I haven't listened to yet, a DJ Magic Mike / Sir Mix-a-Lot 12" and a Wayne Shorter lp

there are three reissues by a new label called Monk--single LP retrospectives on Dock Boggs, Charley Patton, and Charlie Poole. If I didn't have the material already I'd pick 'em up. The covers are decent looking, but the LPs are a bit on the pricey side--$25 apiece, I guess cuz they're from a european label. I haven't opened one up yet to see if the liner notes are any good/existent. the info on the back covers was scant.

i gotz no record money right now : (

totally did a double-take at aquarius the other day when i saw the dock boggs, like HEY WHY DIDNT MISSISSIPPI RECORDS EMAIL ABOUT THIS??

lol that was my same impulse; the boggs looks a lot like a MS release.

ha ha. i wandered into kims seeing charley patton in the window and was way entranced. i don't know if i really want the patton stuff on record (though whatever they were playing in store sounded real nice), but i didn't know there was a charlie poole one.

Stuff I bought since the last time I linked to stuff I bought:

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

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

Thrift shopping yesterday, found all of these for a dollar apiece:

David Bowie "Labyrinth Soundtrack"
"Switched on the Beatles" as performed by the New World Electronic Chamber Ensemble
Iron Butterfly "Metamorphosis"
Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath"
Jerry Lee Lewis "Sings the Country Music Hall of Fame Hits Vol. 2"
Sonny & Cher "Look At Us"
Mott the Hoople feat. the Brain Caper Kids "Brain Capers"
Run D.M.C. "King of Rock"

finally got alan lomax's NEGRO CHURCH MUSIC on atlantic. so rad.

also put a few lil chestnuts on ebay, in hopes of getting together some money for my next big purchase.

how is that pavement live thing?

also LOL

Item location: Washington, DC, United States

HAHAHA whoops forgot to tell eBay.

its the same concert u sent me like two years ago from cologne

i got:
texas-mexican border music vol. 7
texas-mexican vorder music vol. 9
uncle dave macon comp lp on RBF

TVZ Live at the Old Quarter reish. I'll probably give it to my bro for his birthday.

was it esquire who put that on their 100 essential man-records?

lol

texas-mexican border music vol. 7
texas-mexican vorder music vol. 9

this series is pretty dope

i have vol 1 or 3, and i cant really get into it. too much harmonica? not enough gtr? too lively?

tvz live @ old quarter is totally fucking amazing.
also, yeah, i love the tex-mex border series!

enjoying the new time-lag "red records" ish that came in the mail--

Mountainhood - thunderpaint the stone horse electric (kinda mumbly psych folk stuff, heavy on the strummed guitar but with harmonium, flute, bedroom percussion. tape hiss is key.)
Mountainhood - wings from a storm (replace the acoutsic guitar with piano, and the vocals might reach even new keening heights on this one. one epic track on side 2 that gets almost Popol Vuh, piano & tapes and what sound like nighttime forest recordings..)
Wovoka - I & II (fingerpicking, dulcimer, reverb, mostly instrumental. second LP adds hand drums & fuzz guitar... really good.)

is there a complete list of the Tex-Mex border series online? There's at LEAST like 19 volumes. not even halfway there :(

howling hex -- return of the third tower LP (thought this was long-OOP but it just showed back up on drag city's site!)

they may have gotten a box returned when T&G closed their distro operation? who knows.

TYVEK LP - corny cover, good jams ("Building Burning" version 2 hits hardest so far)
EAT SKULL LP - sounding pretty good, need more listens
Les Baxter HELL'S BELLES - reish of fuzzed out bikesploitation soundtrack

some good $1 finds over the past week:

john coltrane - kulu se mama
jackie mclean - it's time
herbie hancock - maiden voyage
melvin van peebles - br'er soul
canned heat - living the blues
al green - gets next to you
al green - is love
thelonious monk - alone in san francisco
nitty gritty dirt band - uncle charlie and his dog teddy
john mayall - blues in laurel canyon
john mayall - crusade
james brown - black caesar
csny - deja vu
mose allison - i don't worry about a thing
mose allison - the word from mose allison
donovan - a gift from a flower to a garden
eric dolphy - in europe vol. 2
stevie nicks - the wild heart
gary numan - telekon

that canned heat record has some lame moments, but also some good boogies!

my ebay sales did pretty well... t-minus seven hours till i can redirect those funds

yeah, 69, it's a pretty solid record (esp for $1!)

eric dolphy - in europe vol. 2

i think i have this, at least i think it's vol 2. does it have two group songs and then two solo dolphy? god bless the child and one other?

anyway the one i have is absolutely gorgeous

i think god bless the child is on vol 1? i don't actually have that one. this one is really great too, though. there's some particularly choice dolphy flute playing on two tracks.

i'm not an expert but so far i have not heard anything dolphy did be not-awesome

i had a copy of OUT THERE in my hands yesterday, but passed. i fucked up, right?

i think that is supposed to be pretty classic

nothing to do with this thread other than satisfying the clientele but:

woah someone told me you can get se rogie on youtube.

hey schlump did i just sell you something on ebay?

that golden triangle 12"?

my big (if not cheap) score w recent ebay proceeds:
