chris, just look for cool covers/song-titles. do they look like hippies? do they live in a "planned community"? i usually go for most stuff at the thrift store if i think there might be the least bit of a chance that it might be weird/cool. 99% of most Xian stuff is not that cool. Okay, maybe 95%. Yoo have to go thru 500 bad Xian rekkerds to find one good one. And even a good one might only have a couple good songs on it. You are better off with weird eastern/B'Hai/Eckankar/Krisna hippy stuff. And even a lot of that stuff isn't that great. Of course, like most things, the further you go into the 1970's the dicier things get. Some dood put out a Xian-Psych reference guide a while back, but I never bought it.

I've really gotten used to using a PC, Cutty. We have a cable-hookup. It works pretty good. I was sad when my Imac pooped out on me though. But I like being able to download stuff. video, MP3s. I almost feel 21st century. Between that and finally using the *show last 50 answers* option on ILX i am lickety-spit! I used to use my Mac in the kitchen with a shitty dial-up connection and never use Maria's speedy computer in the bedroom. how dumb was that? I still can't make heads or tails out of SLSK though. It is beyond my puny brain.

there was also this (from aquarius):

http://aquariusrecords.org/images/varesurrcd.jpg

V/A Resurrection (Second Coming) cd 16.98
Subtitled, "The Amplified Side Of Heavenly Grooves". This ain't your momma's gospel music. Nope, this collection brings together some bizarre, funny, and downright groovy '60s/'70s tunes by/for Jesus-loving hipsters. Everything from garage rock to folk to lounge-jazz, and more, including some hilarious spoken word from the "Sunworshippers" (Jesus Freaks up in Eureka, CA). Then there's John Ylvisaker's demented "A Gay Cliche", a song so bad yet so good that it sounds like it belongs on "The Beat Of The Traps". Pat Boone and Dick Hyman also make appearances. Righteous. MOJO writer Will Hodgkinson makes a good point in the liner notes: "I've always maintained that the finest psychedelia is created by people who have only imagined what drugs are like rather than experience them first hand, so who better to make groovy acid rock than Christians?"

"so who better to make groovy acid rock than Christians?"

Old, bald seesion hacks in some RCA recording studio cranking out product for the kidz, that's who.

dearest scott seward,

whom do you prefer to honor: cthulu, god, satan, or another such deity?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 10 February 2005 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Mithra? Odin?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 10 February 2005 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

OOH, I do love Satan. The idea of Satan. The character of Satan. You know? Probably the best thing to come out of Christianity. But then I love horror movies and heavy metal a ton. And I didn't grow up Christian. Neither of my parents really believe in God and that rubbed off on me. They both believed in Art. Yeah, they used to take me to a Unitarian church when I was a kid, but that was just so they could hang out with lefty types and drink coffee. In fact, I learned sex-ed in the Unitarian sunday school! I like the creepy godz. Trickster monkey gods and goat-headed godz. Gods that ancient civilizations worshipped that look suspiciously like aliens. I should read more Lovecraft, cuz I do love the idea of Cthulu. Odin I only know from Marvel comix and metal rekkerds. I love Amon Amarth and they are all about da Odin.

Scott,

recently Fred Durst wrote this on his band's blog: we have gone to the other side a few times with absinthe to discover the unknown. as it seems the unknown is quite demanding these days.

Have you ever gone to the other side with absinthe to discover the unknown? and would you agree that the unknown is quite demanding these days?

Fan 4eva,
Anthony

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 12 February 2005 01:32 (twenty-one years ago)

absinthe kinda tastes like licorice, so it never takes me to the other side, just the toilet.

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 12 February 2005 01:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i have seen the unknown on jagermeister. and rumplemintz. and crazy horse malt liquor. and powermaster malt liquor. and gin. and acid. and opium. and weed. and mushrooms. and thomas hardy ale. and rebel yell whiskey. and vivarin (overdosed a little when i was a teen. threw up for 12 hours straight. they had to give me an anal suppository to stop the vomiting. i told my folx i ate a bad hotdog. i wasn't TRYING to overdose, just took too many during my double-shift at the supermarket where i worked and where i would later get caught trying to steal a cd player in the middle of the day when i was high on codeine-laced pain pills.) and valium mixed with wine and weed. But, surprisingly, never on absinthe. I hear it's overrated. But you never know what will take you anywhere. the unknown demanding? nah, only if you want it to be.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 12 February 2005 02:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I DONE DRANK SOME REAL ABSINTH......................IT FUCKIN PWND.

― ddb (ddb), Saturday, 12 February 2005 03:01 (twenty-one years ago)

It's big in teh Europe now but it's not the old school absinthe yo.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 12 February 2005 03:23 (twenty-one years ago)

ddb, did you see shit or did you just get wasted? do you still have both ears?

i drank some in prague, but only one shot and so whatevs

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Saturday, 12 February 2005 04:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, scott, dude, what the fuck.

On the ILE Thread http://ilx.p3r.net/thread.php?msgid=3594959 you state:

i'm willing to lose any and all cyber-respect that anyone may or may not have for me by simply stating that i have a crush on bobby flay. i think he's cute. and obnoxious. i have felt this way ever since his immortal show with the most obnoxious restaurant owner in all of philadelphia, jack mcdavid(um, that would have been chillin' and grillin' with bobby flay and jack mcdavid) but then i also have a crush on whatsherface-the british babe who licks her fingers all the time. so go ahead, sue me.

-- scott seward (skotro...), June 6th, 2003 4:04 AM.

Do you still feel this way? Bobby Flay is clearly a dangerous man.

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

he's creepy, isn't he? i just saw him on a reality show where you have to be the best martha stewart-style home designer/hostess on earth. i think i admired bobby's certainty that propane was the way to go on the chillin' & grillin' show. that was the only show i ever saw him on. i never saw his solo show or his appearances on the american iron chef showdowns. he kinda grosses me out now. i liked his accent. as a chef, i have much more respect for mario batali. and, it goes without saying, i still want to lick the egg yolk off of nigella's fingers. raaawwwwrr. i think i just wanted to be the only one on that thread who had anything good to say about him.i really don't get people's likes and dislikes on ILE. They are weird. I was like the only person who would stick up for Mad T.V. on there. They can be kinda snooty about comedy (and movies too.) and, yeah, watching that reality show the other night made me realize that if you knew -or worse, had to WORK for - someone like bobby flay you would want to die and kill them all at once.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:04 (twenty-one years ago)

"as a chef, i have much more respect for mario batali."

Um, i'm not a chef. i have more respect for a chef like mario batali. or that weirdo wylie dufresne.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

My favorite food network personalities are probably Alton Brown and Iron Chef Sakai. I really like Mario Batali too, but I haven't seen his show in a long time. I despise Flay, clearly. Mark Summers's show can be interesting sometimes, but is mostly boring and he's not a very interesting guy to watch. I just remember him asking Double Dare questions. Rachel Ray is kind've irritating but sometimes she makes yummy things or goes somewhere neat (see upthread.)

― Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

you know though, for real, on chillin' & grillin' he wasn't that despicable. that was when the food network was just starting out. they hadn't made all their stars yet. and bobby was just a big-shot chef in new york. nobody knew who he was. plus, he was paired with the even more despicable Jack McDavid who came off like a witless hee-haw reject. i think he bacame more gross as time went on. or showed more of his true grossness as time went on. and the zenith of that grossness is Rocco and The Restaurant. (which was highly entertaining.)

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't really watched the food network in years. i kinda wish i had seen some of those extreme cuisine shows with Anthony Bourdain. I really liked Kitchen Confidential.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

the 2nd cosmic michael lp is on ebay for $99! the first one is the one to get though

― ilkley lido (gareth), Thursday, 24 February 2005 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have 99 dollars anyway. Hi, Gareth!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 24 February 2005 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

neither do i.

well, ok, i do, but not to spend on a record

― ilkley lido (gareth), Thursday, 24 February 2005 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

scooter,

have you heard of The Speakers? Columbian psych group from 68. the record is wacked. sounds like mutantes, with worse song writing but crazier effects. tons of fuzz & echo.

toodles,
j

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I haven't! But that only makes them the 595938382992922,9292842444444422 latin american psych band that i haven't heard. i mean, the originals are rarer than a pair of panties on paris hilton and when they show up they cost zillions of dollars and when someone puts out a boot or a reissue they end up coming from Japan and they STILL cost an arm and a peking duck leg. so, i end up not hearing a lot. when will sundazed start their sundazed espanol imprint already!! or if rhino would like to put out a latin nuggets box, i would be up for that too. it's a crying shame i tell you.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

check yr email yo!

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 24 February 2005 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Great album title: La Conferencia Secreta del Toto's Bar by los Shakers. That's one I'd like to hear.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 24 February 2005 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Bobby Flay just got married. the announcement was in the NYTimes last Sunday. His wife looks 15.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I was just listening to Aguaturbia last weekend. Freakin' awesome. I was considering a track of theirs for that ILMiX project but I didn't use it.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 24 February 2005 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

mystic siva is no good!

― ilkley lido (gareth), Sunday, 27 February 2005 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

agauturbia is the psychedelic drugstore record ? ive never liked that much really. in fact, the mystic siva record reminds me of it, a little

i would like to hear turn of the century, i think they are ranwood related

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 4 March 2005 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

do you like Le Cirque - Land of Oz, on buddah?

how about laurent garniers man with the red face?

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 11 March 2005 07:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Scott,

Are there pictures of your celebrity paintings on the internets?

Tim

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 11 March 2005 07:17 (twenty-one years ago)

scott do you know what that horn sample in j-lo's 'get right is from'?

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Friday, 11 March 2005 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

'get right' is from

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Friday, 11 March 2005 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

maceo parker/jb's - soulpower 74

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 11 March 2005 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

no, tim. not right now. i'm thinking of selling some on ebay though.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 11 March 2005 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

scott,

do you prefer charles fox or hal hester?

― charltonido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 11:00 (twenty-one years ago)

i had to google these people. charles fox the t.v./film composer? i don't think i have much of an opinion. i do own a copy of hal hester's Your Own Thing soundtrack and i've always felt it was pretty horrible. i think i've only been able to find one song to put on mix-tapes in the past. i also think the privilege soundtrack is pretty horrible. not that they are the same thing, but i felt like going on record about that.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

yea, that charles fox. im not sure i have an opinion either, i need to hear more. i havent heard hal hester, but a friend was talking of him the other day

i really want to get the stu phillips soundtrack to Follow Me, that looks crazy great

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

did you know, there has never been a thread on stu phillips! i guess his book title, "stu who?" tells its own story...

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi dere Scott, could you recommend some Sun City Girls releases? I'd just jump in and buy whatever I find at the record store, but that stuff is expen$$$ive down here in Melbourne.

― 'haitch' (haitch), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

gareth, do you own a copy of *awakening* by the mystic moods? it's before they got all goopy with groovy cover versions. or maybe it was after. it came out in 1973. i love that record. one of the most amazing breakbeats on earth on it, but the vinyl goes for chump change. it's like a way more fun and dancier and funnier moody blues or something. someone should reissue it. plus, it's a cosmic concept album.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

sun city girls! hmmm, you might wanna go to the source for those. they sell cds on their website. and they had different "periods". i like almost all of it. a good place to start might be *torch of the mystics*. if you like that, then proceed forward.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

mystic moods? no, were they on ranwood?

im seriously considering blowing a large amount of cash on this Moggi record, on omicron, from 1971 italy. i just cant afford, but i love eurospacefunkelettronixx

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

they are selling bright surroundings, dark beginnings on their website for 10 dollars american. i would go for thar too. another good starting point:

http://www.suncitygirls.com/catalog/product/54/

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

and any of the carnival folklore resurrection series is good if you can find them for a reasonable price. too bad box of chameleons is so expensive. that's a great set.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

the stuff NOT to start with is stuff like horse cock phepner and dante's disneyland inferno and the like (which i love but you know they are wacky and stuff).

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

dantes is great -- the Goocher led "folk" album.

― jack cole (jackcole), Sunday, 20 March 2005 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

does mr scott seward like Alva?

and, moe importantly, does mr scott seward like squirrel and g-man yet?
