listened to godz last night on top of a mountain outside woodstock high on boo and vino and it felt like heaven licking my ear.

godz are one of my favorite bands ever. i prefer godz II to contact high, but they're both just so amazing.

also, awesome that you got the first moby grape! and great that annie got blues in memphis on OJL. You guys are such a cute couple.

im traditionally a GODZ 2 man, but was psyched to find this one for a pretty good price.

also tropic appetites sounds amazing.

my shitty local record store had a $2 overstock sale today, got some decent shit. will post later

classic 70s shitgaze?

lies/money for nothing 7" has been on my list forever. never heard the original of MFN and when i did i was all dire straits?

nice! bush of ghosts really came down in price after the CD reissue...

yeah i was kinda O_O when i saw that raspberries record...i couldnt even find that shit on the internet. is that rare at all?

it's also awesome, i listened to side 1 yesterday

man i know nothing about the raspberries, can't help you.

challops alert:

she's so unusual > thriller

and yeah matt bush of ghosts was marked at $5, which is probably less than a better record store would have it at? i feel like all the expensive stuff my place has is stuff i'm not interested in but the good stuff i always find in crates under the shelves for cheap

$5 is a really good deal if it's in good condition IMO...seems more like a $10 record

yeah actually all five of those were marked at five bucks but there must have been a special or somethin. walked out of there a happy kid

"i feel like all the expensive stuff my place has is stuff i'm not interested in but the good stuff i always find in crates under the shelves for cheap"

five new MS tapes! (solicited from other friend, sent along w some almost-totally-punched buy-five-get-one-cards from SF businesses!)
new harpers re-directed from my old DC office

harpers is putting out LPs now? smart choice given the declining interest in print...

wokka wokka!

re-listened to that Sore Eros record now, cuz of you Pete. I'm diggin it more than the first time. I think the first time I listened I was at work and only half paying attention.

man i love this BEETS record

is that starving weirdos album on bo weevil coming out on vinyl? if it does you should get it cuz it's really good.

i got a 45 of theirs in the mail that i really like. from last year, maybe? anyway, it's good.

i've been getting some nice vinyl in the mail due to my spamming for my new column. it's nice.

picked up a few lil things:

v/a -- marvellous boy (GREAT! first thing ive really loved on honest jon's)
fresh & onlys -- s/t
sir richard bishop -- freak of araby
PIL -- flowers of romance (may already have it, but i dont think so LOL)
we move together (later-era ESP record -- nice, minimal stuff)
bley/gilmore/motian/peacock -- turning point
swamp dogg -- have you heard this story??

also ordered new captured tracks bundle and two new sublime frequencies LPs!

the beets is one of the only good records on captured tracks imho.

the new single or the LP?

i like the woods single, DDG 12", bitters 12", and beets LP best. i like the blank dogs 12" pretty well, but it aint my favorite one.

$2 at Other Music the other night netted me:

Peanut Butter 12" (special mix by Larry Levan)
T.J. Swann-Peewee Mel-Barry B.'s "Are You Ready?" 12"
Maggotron "Return to the Planet of Bass" 12"
Universal Robot Band's "Dance and Shake Your Tambourine" 12"
Badazz "Honk Honk Beep Beep" 12"
a hand-numbered, hand-stamped copy of Ghost Note "Holy Jungle" 12"
a hand-numbered, silk-screened copy of this Vastkustska Ryggdunkarsallskapet (Pugh Rogefeldt disco edit) 12"

oh yeah i also randomly got

america's most wanted -- armed & dangerous 12"

(LOL getting h1gh and reading waxidermy's buy-it-now alert thread. the oakland A's hats were irresistible)

how'd you get Freak of Araby when it's not due out until next week??

i guess [redacted] sells things early to edge out the competition

african scream contest - good but not great, doesn't quite live up to the promise of the title. I probably have too many of these comps now

^speaking of which, this just arrived on vinyl, after a long wait. it's great.

i havent heard this one -- is it afro-funk? i think pretzel walrus likes it. sometimes, i cant get past the lame-o covers on those comps, which i know is grade-a retarded.

what bugged me about african scream contest was the misuse of the word "psychedelic". cuz none of it is, really. but it's still pretty good stuff. and the exaustive history lesson/liners are cool too.

you know what reissues ive been staring at uncontrollably for the past few weeks? BITCHES BREW and IN A SILENT WAY. i have all the sessions CDs, so i never got them on LP, but they just look SO BEAUTIFUL.

African Scream Contest is definitely not psychedelic, but it is really really good.

was the misuse of the word "psychedelic". cuz none of it is, really.

yeah exactly! but it's still pretty cool. just not as good as Love's a Real Thing or Ghana Soundz

shit i totally pwned myself this weekend. won a couple original music LPs at the end of last week, then asked the seller if hed consider changing a couple more (ones with no bids yet) to buy-it-nows. he agreed, but i checked at 9am yesterday, and theyd sold 20min earlier, 10min after becoming buy-it-now. thats what i get for trying to monkey with the system!

oh well. i at least got

FROM THE COPPERBELT (zambian miner songs) LP
AFRICAN ACOUSTIC vol 1 (gtr music from tanzania, zambia, and zaire) LP

and also

ONEIDA -- secret wars LP

from r3d d3v1l records in san rafael (lil overpriced, but niiiiiice stuff in nice shape -- apparently the dude pays pretty well on resale of stuff, too, so i can dig that paradigm):

alice coltrane -- transfiguration (back into alice-fever after a brief cooldown)
african head charge -- my life in a hole in the ground (91 repress on on-u sound)
african head charge -- off the beaten track (92 repress on on-u sound)
s.e. rogie -- mother africa (like african lady before it, just a bit too slick)
eddy current suppression ring 7" on IRON LUNG (totally awesome, have really come to love these guys)

picked up the first Crazy Horse album (w/o Neil), good stuff...the whitten songs are fucking amazing

^^ always been interested, now will pull trigger

yeah it's cool, like at worst it is very enjoyable 70s rock, at its best (usually the whitten stuff) it's kinda special...
