i bought an awesome new record today. split LP by ID M Theft Able/Cave Bears on Feeding Tube Records. I bought mine from a very nice Cave Bear dude and you can buy a copy in my shop if you want one. i have exactly two for sale. the cave bears side is their tribute to the Germs and i like it a bunch. i might write it up for my noize column.

this is weird!

richard abrams - levels & degrees of light
silva/wright/few - solos & duos

this is weird!

What's the weird part?

the yellow vinyl, i'm guessing.

That's not very weird, though. Because it's Smithsonian Folkways? I guess they're supposed to have some ascetic sensibility.

show tonight at 8. on chevalier street. behind the bike shop on federal street. i'll be there. beers at the people's pint afterwards.

Crank Sturgeon, Cave Bears, PCRV, & Matjaz Galicic

should we change the thread title to rolling 2009 shows of western ma?

and remember get there early for richard bishop on tuesday at rendezvous in turner's. show starts at 9:30, so i'd say get there by 8 or 8:30 cuz it will probably be packed.

ian, when you get tired of big city living you should move out here to god's country.

greenfield's finest:

yeah it was the yellow vinyl on an original e.cotten? seems like yellow vinyl is more for assholes like me?

finally got the NY/CH massey hall LP. waahhhh so good.

also
don cherry -- mu pts 1&2
don cherry -- relativity suite
JB lenoir -- natural man (cheap, looks rad, on chess)
va -- music of iran (lyrichord v v good)
big joe williams/sonny boy williamson LP on arhoolie

should we change the thread title to rolling 2009 shows of western ma?

In spirit thread can accommodate this.

Today

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

daytrip to Portland and Mississippi records, picked up new Dog Faced Hermans "Hum Of Life" reissue (one of my fave 90's albums), a new MS LP by Bishop Perry Tillis (haven't heard yet), and the Pierced Arrows LP. I would have looked around more but I am broke. Love buying those LPs direct from the store, ten bucks a pop.

Richard Bishop is playing here July 2nd, so psyched. I have not yet seen a physical copy of the new record.

i hope he has stuff for sale at the show on tuesday. i will buy. i bought 3 crank sturgeon tapes at tonight's show. he was a hoot and a half.

crank sturgeon is great, i got to record him and id m theft able (similar stuff) performing together, it was like two jaap blonks having a heart attack in jean dubuffet's trashcan.

i love Cherry's "Mu." I think they're my favorite of his records. Just how PRETTY they are, and how the bits worm their way into my earholes.

Recent vinyl purchases within the past month of going to various Goodwills and other thrift shops around Atlanta. All records $0.40-$1.99:

I also picked up the new Sir Richard Bishop lp at a show last week for those wondering upthread if he has stuff for sell.

Black Hole soundtrack .. interesting .. obligatory Father's Day post, I loved the Black Hole so much when it came out that my dad took me to see it twice in the theater. Couple years later when "strong songs" WJLB used Alexander Robotnick's "Probleme's d'Amour" in their promo commercial and Electrifying Mojo played it on his show, I swore tbat Robotnick stole the main synth lick from the music that plays while the space station is shown hurtling toward the black hole in the flick ...

so sweet, and you NEVER see that thing without ring wear

good $1 stuff:

gene clark - two sides to every story

god damn you :( I have been scouring the internet for a reasonably-priced copy of that record ever since becoming the last person on earth to discover No Other a few months ago.

to contribute, I've been trading a bunch of CDs and DVDs in lately and putting it towards vinyl, so:

- Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest ($7.99 new w/ free Amazon Prime shipping! packaging was absurd, though - they put it in a big-ass cardboard box w/ a bunch of PVC balloon bags; I mean I'm not usually Captain Save-A-Environment or anything but it was kind of stunningly wasteful.)
- Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion
- Karen Dalton, It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You The Best (AMAZING)
- Cat Power, The Greatest (sold my CD copy a while back but it's like night and day w/ the vinyl. just amazingly warm & beautiful.)
- Vashti Bunyan, Lookaftering (ditto)
- Blue Magic s/t
- Todd Rundgren, A Wizard, A True Star (for some reason this sounds like ass - the record doesn't look particularly worn or anything, but there's barely any bottom end whatsoever)
- DJ Kaos 12" (omg @ the Tiedye remix)
- Walter Jones 12"

it's funny i was just playing a copy of wizardtruestar the other day and i couldn't get over how good it sounded. wasn't the gimmix cover with the funny shape either. just a nice pressing, i guess. HOT STAMPER!!

it sounded so good that i priced it at FIVE dollars instead of four.

LOL hot stampers

on my desk this morning:
puget sound gtr wkshop LP (pretty nice eased-back bucolic fingerpickin morning shit like my dad plays)

current track: mickey mouse theme SO PUNK

now i know how ian must feel, a million noize records, and only ever wanting to hear "turkey in the straw"

SPEAKING OF TURKEYIN THE STRAW....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugyUXC6L_c0

picked up yeasterday:

dj kaos - love the nite away + tiedye rmx 12"
beautiful swimmers - swimmers groove / o yea 12"
ariel pink - can't hear my eyes / evolution is wrong 7"

most I had heard on mp3 already, all pretty rad

rolled down to DC and kept winding up with "jungle" themed tunes:
Kikrokos: "Jungle DJ" (Spectacular Disco Mix by Jim Burgess)
Keith Hudson: Steaming Jungle
John Tropea: "Livin' in the Jungle" (hot TK Disco action)

and some non-jungle ones as well:
Chilly: For Your Love
Barbara Roy: Gotta See You Tonight" w/ Paul Simpson dub
Susan Stevens "Boogie Walk"
Staple Singers: "Slippery People"
Rockers Revenge: "Walkin' on Sunshine"
Gary's Gang: "Keep On Dancin'"

Kurt Vile - The Hunchback ep
Icarus Line - Penance Soiree
Sir Richard Bishop - Polytheistic Fragments
Lindstrom & Prins Thomas - s/t

hey i know this isnt exactly the right place to ask, but i think someone sometime sampled the string swell at the end of EXPECTING TO FLY by buffalo springfield. anyone know offhand or wanna see if they recognize it?

Scientist - Meets the Roots Radics
Akron/Family - Set 'Em Wild/Set 'Em Free
King Khan and the Shrines - What Is?!
Wooden Shjips - Dos

that akron/family record is pretty cool, I must have had a wrong impression of them .... doesn't sound anything like I expected it to

Kikrokos: "Jungle DJ" (Spectacular Disco Mix by Jim Burgess)

want!!

Well, it is their "transitional" record.

Akron/Family record is proggy as fuck but in this weird wistful Americana way. I love it.

got a bunch of beat up hippity hop records today, good stuff
gangstarr - step in the arena, daily operation
de la soul - buhloone mindstate
tribe called quest anthology
black sheep - a wolf in sheep's clothing
eric b & rakim - follow the leader (lp)
doug e fresh - the show 12"
paul's boutique.

also:
loren mazzacane connors - curse of midnight mary (really like this. acoustic & voice, 81. free blues.)
bardo pond - peri LP

ashford & simpson - babies 12" ($1.99)
saint etienne - sound of water ($8.99 sealed, i see used copies of this go for $20+ all the time wtf)
marvin gaye - funky space reincarnation 12" ($9.99, i'm trying not to spend more than $5 for 12"s but i just looove this song and it was in real nice shape)
that soul jazz acid comp ($14.99 used, kind of an impulse buy)

was going to buy the first two yello records, but they were $30 each and had been sitting there for like 2 years so fuck that

sitting there for like 2 years so fuck that
could've been a dick and said "look it's obvious you've overpriced these if they've been sitting here this long" but i've been on the other side of that and didn't want to be an asshole. are those 1st two really that rare? i guess the first one is 2lps, iirc
