What is going on in that little town?

like the song on the new Nels Cline record -- sounds like "Thurston County"

rendezvous bar in turner's is cool. richard bishop is coming in a week or two and it is where you will find me singing l'trimm songs on karaoke night.

oh man ahhhhhh that sounds amazing. when i turn 30, im doin it.

Vee Dee- public mental health system double LP. Got this in the mail today.
I've only listened once through; good solid 70's punk/blues rock shit ,a little psych sound, cool vocals.Well written lyrics.
I can see getting many repeat listens out of this record.

Scott, did you like that Noveller record. I bought it at No Fun Fest after seeing her and loved it! One of the best pretty droney records I've bought this year that is not by Emeralds.

There is supposed to be a question mark after that first sentence. Damn whiskey.

yeah, i like it. not the BEST droney shit i've heard all year, but it's good. best would be the tetragrammaton double cd that i heard. but that's not vinyl. and it actually came out last year.

and i recommend that tetragrammaton thing to EVERYONE. soooooooooooooooooo good. on subvalent records outta Japan, but you can get it from crucial blast or rrr. i think. one studio side and one live side. best freeform drone noize i've heard in ages. only on cd though.

$1 bin:

crosby stills & nash - csn
black sabbath - s/t
cannonball adderley - country preacher
loggins & messina - s/t
bob seger - live bullet

are 80's feedtime records really that hard to find? online prices are really high. i thought i used to see that stuff everywhere. maybe that was a while ago. got shovel and another one and now i don't know what the hell to price them.

Best recent find: a promo copy of Safe as Milk from an antique mall in Katy for the princely sum of $2.00. Sleeve's kinda beat up, but it still had the original inner sleeve and the record is a little hissy and poppy in places, but no skips!

I also got the first Honeycombs lp from a different dealer at the same place for $3.50. Haven't listened to it yet though.

last weekend's birthday haul:

Moondog - Snaketime Series lp
Strange Boys - And Girls Club lp
Cocteau Twins - Aikea-Guinea ep
Richard and Mimi Fariña - Celebrations for a Grey Day lp

and in the mail:

Ganglians - Monster Head Room lp+7"
The Fresh & Onlys lp

couple lil DC pickups:

john coltrane -- OM
v/a -- assalam aleikoum africa vol 2 (so rad!)
sparky rucker -- cold & lonesome on a train
v/a -- javanese court gamelan vol 2 (explorer series)
beautiful swimmers 12"
steven halpern -- eastern peace
georgia kelly -- birds of paradise
bohannon -- insides out

wowee zowee, great yard sale today! right on the lawn of this cute suburban home in the woods this dude was selling boxes and boxes of records and i bought a ton. a hundred bucks for almost 200 awesome old school rap singles, disco, electro, r&b, new wave, all kinds of stuff. sealed stuff too. sealed just-ice single on fresh. i couldn't believe it. i've been listening to the best records all day. my fave out of everything is the pristine duke bootee/point blank mc's single i got with the picture sleeve. i'm keeping that one. nice guy too. just a collector getting rid of his extra stuff he doesn't want anymore.

i'm so confused. i got this single by The Men from 1979, the pre-human league group and it's total new wave disco. soooo, then they became an industrial post-punk kinda group and then they went back to making new wave disco again? i had no idea. they should have stuck with the disco. seems like a long way to get back to where you started from.

I thought The Men was an offshoot after they had already formed, stuff they did around the time of Travelogue. Those Fast Product Human League things came out in 78, and I bet that their earlier, even more experimental stuff was put to tape even before that. What are the tracks on that Men single?

Or, correction - one FP seven inch came out in 78.

oh yeah i didn't think of that. i do probably have 70's era human league stuff. okay, so they weren't pre-hl. see, i don't know their history well at all. there must be good human league history info on the web. i should educate myself!

Nah. Life's too short.

no, i'm on it. really. i'm gonna dig deep.

okay i'm prolly just slow and missed the skot thread about them sometime but:

High Tide: Sea Shanties

^^HOLY LIVING FUCK THIS IS ONE OF THE GReATEST ROCK ALBUMS EVER WOW RUN DON'T WALK TO THE SUNDAZED REISSUE

i wrote a pretty long piece for a knoxville free paper about the high tide reissues thast came out a couple years ago. eclectic discs put them out and they did a really good job. though original vinyl is nicer if you can afford it. though i'm sure sundazed did a fine job too. i included them in my filthy fifty list of pre-metal metal for decibel's stoner rock issue too:

08 High Tide,Sea Shanties
So ludicrously loud and violent that you gotta wonder what the hell punk rock was supposed to be saving us from. Oh yeah, ELP. Whatever. Most punks couldn’t hold a candle to the nihilistic fury of High Tide. Liberty | 1969

Which paper? Did you used to live there too?

no, i never lived there. someone asked me to write for the knoxville voice.

Oh, Dawson, prob.

I've owned the Repertoire CDs of the two High Tide records for years

I guess there are bonus track on the most recent CDs? are they actually new tracks? or just "alternate" recordings of the same tracks from the albums ..

also I am guessing these new Sundazeds don't contain the bonuses either way on the LPs ? I mean I am a total vinyl geek, but i guess I'll stick with my Repertoire's, they've been serving me real well...

the bonus tracks on the eclectic cd of "sea shanties" are demos and stuff, a couple of them songs i hadn't heard before (they're not the stuff on that akarma live/bootleg album). worth it if you love sea shanties. i was surprisingly undisappointed with them.

1 Futilist's Lament 5:19
2 Death Warmed Up 9:10
3 Pushed, But Not Forgotten 4:46
4 Walking Down the Outlook 5:00
5 Missing Out 9:41
6 Nowhere 5:59
7 The Great Universal Protection Racket (bonus) 11:27

9 Death Warmed Up (demo, bonus) 7:38
10 Pushed, But Not Forgotten (demo, bonus) 4:04
11 Time Gauges (bonus) 6:26
