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"

sore eros LP (unsolicited from friend!)
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...

it's crazy (sic) how the Rhino Handmade thing of the Crazy Horse stuff sold out immediately .. bummer. they gotta repress that shit

I love that Kathi McDonald "Insane Asylum" record upthread. The title track is the Koko Taylor classic redone by as a duet with Sly Stone. Lots of great session credits: John Cipollina, Ronnie Montrose, Papa John Creach, Pointer Sisters...

I saw her touring with Long John Baldry a bunch in the 80s/90s.

i picked up a nice orig press for $15, seems like i see it around fairly often

xxp why (sic)

Picked up a bunch of non-indie underground punk and rock thread fodder in Seattle:
Worlds Lousy vol 8
Tyvek
The Rats "intermittent Signals"
Factums "The Sistrum"
that same Eddy Current Suppression Ring single 69 mentioned above.
Pink Reason "Borrowed Time" 7"
also got King Sunny Ade's AURA for five bucks. Three tracks a side, 1984, seemed like it would be worth it. I love "Juju Music" and "Synchro Sound" and every other early 80's King Sunny I've heard, come to think of it.

Love that Factums record.

There was an Illes record (the Hungarian prog band) record on the wall at this one store, priced at ninety bones. It was in this minimal sleeve, just the name of the band stamped on the front and few notes on the back that looked scrawled by hand. "Dedicated to Angela Davis." Really wanted to hear it but not prepared to drop that kind of cash on a record, even if I'll probably never see it anywhere else.

wow I never knew those African Head Charge LPs were repressed.

the other day I found the Slits untitled early sessions LP on Y records for 4 bucks, been looking for that since the late 80's. also got Martin Rev's 1st (?) solo LP on Lust/Unlust which is great.

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)

on closer inspection, i realize that i actually got the off the beaten track sleeve, but the environmental studies LP. bummer, cause i cant imagine ill find the other parts, cause the storeowner said no one had gotten in touch on the other end. agggh, records plague number two of the week!

got some 12 inches in the mail today. i love getting big boxes of records in the mail. a couple are for me and the rest is for the store:
