Rolling 2008 Vinyl Thread

I always heard that Anthem was the one with two different mixes. The white cover and the purple cover.

sans, actually i got it wrong .. there are two new reissues. First they did a batch a while back of the three s/t plus Araca Azul. those went for like $20. just recently they "filled in the gaps" with Domingo and Transa, but bumped the price up to $30

man, I've been trying to get that lo borges s/t for so long. it's always serious $$$.

There are two different mixes of Aoxomoxoa.

yeah, found this which explains it all nicely

man, white sleeve anthem DOES look a lot nicer.

LOLOLOL never saw this before:

I enjoy the Ilyas Ahmed record quite a bit. Some nice smokey rustic action. I also really like the Joshua LP on time-lag, haven't heard the Woods Family Creeps one.

Also, I wouldn't hold your breath on the Blank Dogs LP; I don't think the covers have even begun to be printed yet.

I wasn't that impressed with the Ilyas Ahmed samples I heard from the Digitalis 2CD, so I'm not quite sure why I ordered this LP. It is starting to grow on me though.

Fusetronsound told me they are expecting the Blank Dogs LP next week. Who knows though. The downloads will tide me over in the meantime.

I've got these on the way:

Fennesz/Jeck/Matthews "Amoroso" 7"

Black Moth Super Rainbow Dandelion Gum 2-LP
Cindytalk Camoflage Heart LP
Cindytalk In This World 2-LP

I also pre-ordered the new Leviathan record.

ha, maybe fusetron will be getting em next week, i dunno. i believe the design for the blank dogs sleeves is done, but the printing has not yet begun--i'm not sure if the screens have been made or not.

listening to mississippi john hurt 1928 sessions on yazoo.

also, pete's local record store must LOVE him.
soul food is the fucking jam.
also, i'm glad you found a copy of the Sublime Freq LPs; we haven't been able to restock them since our initial order sold out.

it was a record fair at my old college station!

i'm going to spin both that oblivians lp and that shadow music lp tomorrow night when i dj!

haha, snipers be sleepin'

I WANT THIS ON MY KEYBOARD

http://esnipe.com/Graph/keyboard.jpg

picked these up on Friday, both still sealed:

Police OST - which is just a pre-Nonesuch recording of Gorecki's Symphony No. 3, with Gerard Depardieu lookin' good on the cover

T. Viswanathan - South Indian Flute on World Pacific. Haven't opened this yet but I'm looking forward to it. I've never heard Carnatic flute music but North Indian classical flute is awesome.

yeah 29! that's just sick right? i should've just stayed up until it ended, and than i still wouldn;t have won it..probably

WTFFFFF @ kosugi

i imagine the kosugi was the reissue not the orig?

sometimes it's fun to lose but know you cost the winner a lot of money

a reissue yeah
New. Limited Edition LP Reissue of 300 by ISKRA

deadly snakes - porcella/a bird in the hand is worthless
delmonas - do the uncle willy
come ons - hip check

what does the kosugi boot generally go for? i got mine off ebay a few years ago for $20 or something.

ie don't worry, next time it will go for the same. i don't believe the 300 figure on these really.

"listening to mississippi john hurt 1928 sessions on yazoo."

so great.

this weekend looked promising but was kind of a bust, record-wise. went to ailing hippie biker's house to look at records, but someone had beat me too it and scooped up what presumably was the good stuff. everything left i either had or didn't need or was wrecked. bought a steeleye span that i already have for a dollar just cuz i wanted to make an offering of some kind. dude didn't look long for this world. the estate sale at the cool old house of some ex-radical chic dude was likewise nothing. the vinyl looked like he had used it to sharpen his knives on. first press u.k. please please me WRECKED. even the 45s were wrecked. must have been some heavy parties up there. settled for a 50's nudie mag, a copy of Zap no.0, a black power magazine from UMASS circa 1971, a hippie mag from UMASS, a 60's Krisna magazine, a 60's issue of Commonweal, a 1970 copy of Road Test magazine (muscle cars galore), and a 1968 issue of Hit Parader with a great "History of Country Rock" article in it. oh, and a hippie birth control pamphlet.
To add insult to injury, there was an ad in the paper that the dumptique (that's the store at the dump where everything is free) had received a "fabulous" collection of classical/opera/broadway show albums. So, I actually went there before they even opened and sat in my car during a rainstorm and waited to see this fabled collection. It was actually quite peaceful and I got a lot of writing done. Turns out it was next to nothing. Not even a good box worth by dumptique standards. though i did get some good lesser-known opera boxed-sets. i am an obscure opera lover after all. and i got some good books. maybe next week! the season is young.

charlie poole & north carolina ramblers vol. 2
the varese album
dr dre - the chronic

Bought a cheap copy of Six Finger Satellite's Law of Ruins LP the other day. Kinda almost revelatory. I never paid attention at the time (late 90s), cuz I was getting seriously burned out on angry "noise rock" and the previous LP didn't do much for me. But this thing is fascinating. James Murphy production, and mastering by Alan Douches - really tempting to hear in it intimations of what the DFA would do to Black Dice just a few years later. The noisy/angsty stuff is okay (apex = "Law of Ruins", nadir = "Surveillance House"), but the robotic, hypnotic, undisco groove on the seemingly endless "Sea of Tranquility" just fucking kills me. Plus some really nice ambient pieces that wouldn't feel too out of place mixed w/ Creature Comforts. It's interesting, is what it is.

Plus also bought a clean copy of the '78 Devo boot "Workforce for the World: Live on Site". Seriously great. Nice sound, agressive as hell, choice material from the 1st two LPs.

cry cry weep weep,
sob sob and beat the dog.

love that tune!

Have Moicy is so great.

Today I bought the SubFreq Shadow Music LP from my local store, manager was glad I got it and he has one more if anyone is desperate. While I was combing through the world section I also picked up "Music From The Heart Of Burundi" for only $3, but I already have it! DOH! Bonus record for my girlfriend...

Went to the local used store, here's what I bought and what I paid (only listened to a couple so far):

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Damn The Torpedoes, $3. Listened. Always kinda curious about this album, worth the $3 for at least two pretty good songs on each side (singles, mostly).

Boulder, s/t, $3. Listened. I was high when I bought it and loved the synths on the opener, "Join me in LA." Realized too late that it was a Warren Zevon cover and the rest of the album was kinda trad '70s boogie bullshit; that they sound like they look (see photo). I feel vaguely ripped off, but the Zevon tune is pretty sweet.

Horslips, The Man who Built America, $2. Listened. Side one is this fantastic new wave pop fest, with plenty of hooks and dudes singing to chicks about missing them and stuff. Then, as I'm listening to it, I look 'em up on wikipedia and see that they were an Irish folk rock band that mostly did concept albums, and that The Man Who Built America was their "heavy" album that alienated fans. As I read this, side two starts feeling like they were in the studio and said "Oh, right, we need a concept," and they started plugging away at missing ol' Blarney or whatever the fuck the Irish call it. Still, OK, just markedly less good than the first side, which was awesome. Easily worth $8.

Thee Image, Inside the Triangle, $8. Listening. So, apparently, my four-or-so needle drops totally mistook the character of the band—I thought they were some weirdo disco band with a lot of trippy Hammond organ and space oscillators. Which they are, but they're also a buttrock band on "All Night Long," a decent funk-rock band on "I.O.U.s", a shitty sub-10cc ballad band on "Rapture of the Deep," and prone to prog pretensions through-out. Which makes it kind of funny to see the folks here (also the folks hosting the image) begging for the guy to re-up it. I dunno. Maybe if I had a rapidshare account, it would be worth downloading it, but I can't imagine I'd ever want to share it enough to upload it. Not worth $8, even though I may raid it for mixtapes.

Cheetah, Rock & Roll Women, $4. Not listened. From the needle drops, they sound like Suzi Quatro's rockin' tracks, which I like. Two sisters, like Heart, vaguely big-hair attractive, like Heart.

Grace Jones, Warm Leatherette, $3. Not listened. In-store preview? Well, I know the title track from a cover by The Normals, it's got Sly and Robbie producing and playing on it, and it has a cover of "Love is the Drug." It should be good, right? EDIT: Whups. From looking at All Music, it seems that the Normals did the original.

Eric Burdon and the Animals, The Twain Shall Meet, $2. Not listened. I like his voice, and most of the stuff I've heard on either side of this (Animals, War). Couple of drops sounded promising, even if the album's a bit beat and fuzzy.

Golden Earring, Moontan, $4. Not listened. To be honest, four bucks is about twice what I'd pay just to own "Radar Love," but the rest of the album sounded promising too.

Night Soil Man, Garden of Delights, $3. Not listened. A couple of drops gave a dark post-punk vibe, and a little googling shows that they turned into Drive Like Jehu and inspired some story. I'm really looking forward to the album, but haven't been in a scary evil vinyl mood, so am kind of hesitant.

Um, apparently I fucked the link and the image up. You can go <a href="http://bryonsplace.blogspot.com/2006/07/thee-image-and-greenslade.html";>here</a> to see it.

Whups fat fingers I'm an idiot.

i like that cheetah album. it's a vanda/young creation. and, yeah, boulder kinda blew. the first thee image album is best i think. i think i actually have five different albums/bands that feature mike pinera. blues image, iron butterfly, ramatam, thee image, and the new cactus band! i don't have the alice cooper albums that he was on though.

i put one of the best thee image tracks on one of those mixes that i posted on that skot's carnival thread. great epic waaaaaaaay over the top prog rock jam.

The Cheetah album ended up being pretty good, I think (I actually wrote that all up a day or two ago, and have been able to listen to a little bit more). The Golden Earring was really good too.

Which AC albums was he on? And I'll go check out your Carnival thing again—I usually listen to 'em once but don't want to bogart your bandwidth.

you know gas is getting expensive when you start seeing stuff like this:
