i'll post that i just bought three albums by him and i like them and then i'll go away. or maybe i'll ask once again why someone would listen to shuggie otis when there is so much better stuff to listen to out there. cuz stereolab tells you to? if stereolab jumped off a bridge, would you?

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

scott,

you don't like shuggie otis?

best
gaz

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

mmmm, not really, gaz. i bought that reissue that everyone was raving about and i only played it once. i have a really early album of his - the one where he is on the cover playing guitar - and other then the one long guitar jam at the beginning, the rest is kinda forgettable. i already know i'll be playing these weldon irvine albums over and over again. yeah, shuggie didn't do much for me. all that "ahead of his time" baloney was phony like rice-a-roni.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 22:06 (twenty years ago)

you could be right. i've not listened to it more than three times myself. but i really like "outta my head" or whatever it is. but enough. we should leave this for jaXon's weldon irvine thread.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 22:12 (twenty years ago)

just started the thread

thanks scott, i'll definitely download those. i LURVE the slowjamz. someof those tracks are some of my favorite songs of all time. also, that's like all samples:

03: Tom Brock "There's Nothing In This World That Can Stop Me From
Loving You" - Jay-Z - "Girls, Girls, Girls"
04: The Dramatics "In The Rain" - some ghostface track off the new one
05: William Bell "I Forgot To Be Your Lover" (one of my all time fave songs) Dilated Peoples - "Worse Comes to Worst"
06: William Bell & Mavis Staples "Strung Out" - (been looking for this one) Cam'ron - Purple Haze "Down and Out"
19: Joe Simon "Before The Night Is Over" - OutKast - "So Fresh So Clean"
18: David Ruffin "Common Man" - (LOVE this song) Jay-Z - "Never Change"

those are the ones i know off the top of my head. i'm sure the rest have been sampled too.

scott,

i hear living on islands is expensive. some guy i met from a fishing island in alaska said artichoke costs 5$ on an island. is that true? is it easier to get stoned all the time when you live on an island?

vahid

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 16 June 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

i have that david ruffin lp

no, wait, its the tom brock one i have.

i have a david ruffin best of cd

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 16 June 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

vahid, it is supercrazyexpensive here. food, gas, everything. gas is like 3 dollars a gallon. i think it's cheaper on the mainland. the supermarkets are out of hand. and they suck. everyone just goes off island if they have to buy lots of stuff. so, walmart ends up getting a lot of island money. i shop at the cheapest grocery store in town, and the prices would still probably make your eyes bug out. we get our milk delivered by the milkman. we think this saves us money. we always forget to check. it tastes better anyway, straight from the dairy. um, but the dairy is off-island too.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 16 June 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...

hey scotty, do you know this record? Aum's "Resurrection"

http://www.deaddisc.com/imgot/Resurrection.jpg

http://www.deaddisc.com/ot/Resurrection.htm

― Jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 23 September 2005 04:01 (twenty years ago)

Yes, yes i do. It's okay. Xian Hippy Rock. For forgotten Cali jamz i prefer Gypsy. (the aum album is one i've owned for years, but i hardly ever play it. you know?)

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

word. just saw it on a wall for 20 bones. figured it was too much, and couldn't find that much info online about it. all the googles turned up the Japanese cult.

when i saw it, i actually thought it was that Ars Nova record. the covers and the weird frilly font look kinda similar.

― YOU ALMOST STABBED YOURSELF IN THE FACE LIKE A HULKAMANIAC (jaxon), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

Ars Nova. NYC was not the place for psychedelia w/ the exception of the Silver Apples was it?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

There are two AUM albums. That one is the bad one.

Their first album was on Decca and is actually pretty good. Contains the great "You Better Run (But You Sure Can't Hide)" which was covered nicely by Vermonster.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

I have never heard the first Aum album. I like that Ars Nova album okay. I never play THAT record much either though. Cheap Elektra album that is actually pretty good: Mephistopheles.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Since we're on the subject, has anyone heard ASHKAN???

http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4009243270

I'd never heard of them before until I saw the CD on the DustyGrove site, but when I asked them to reserve it for me, they said they couldn't find it! The cover looks great.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

hey, do you guys like good mellow folk/psych?

i'm telling you, this album is really really good and it sells for peanuts: http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4074321501

get it before mojo writes about it. i don't think it's on cd.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

there was one bid for that copy. i'm telling you, it's totally on the down-low how good it is. i almost like it as much as my beloved chrysalis album that is finally on cd.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:48 (twenty years ago)

scott steward, you are a premium dude.

― Blakkaw! (Adrian Langston), Friday, 23 September 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

scott seward's ok too i guess

― Blakkaw! (Adrian Langston), Friday, 23 September 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

one month passes...

skot. i relistened to that Groundhogs album. i completely change my mind. it's pretty fucking rad. i musta been in a bad mood when i listened to it.

do you still love me?

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 24 October 2005 05:24 (twenty years ago)

iz okay, i understand. you do own a copy of split, no?

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 24 October 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

i don't have Split, but the cover is fucking fantastic

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 24 October 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

i love that cover too. i only have an american copy though, which has a completely different cover.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 24 October 2005 19:11 (twenty years ago)

two months pass...

skott, you know anything about the band Progress? album "busy making progress"? i saw it in the shop yesterday and they thank George Harrison, Dylan, Santana and Alice Coltrane. i think i read somewhere that it has something to do w/krishnas, but dunno. it's got a great cover, but it's from 78, so i dunno.

stouffville grit!

― calderdale in the 70s (gareth), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:18 (twenty years ago)

it looks cool! i would buy it unheard at the record store if it were 7 dollars or cheaper. i don't know if i would pay 20 for it unless i heard some raves about it. i have a 70's krisna album that george harrison produced and paid for, but it's just chanting and shit. on the sufi choir album i have they thanks tons of people like that too. free jazz people, rock people, it's a cool list.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:38 (twenty years ago)

Hi, Gareth!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:38 (twenty years ago)

Gareth did you ever get to hear the last Go-Kart Mozart record by my hero Lawrence? I have to transcribe the lyrics to my fave song on it. They are a hoot, and i couldn't find them on the internet.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:39 (twenty years ago)

i have a sufi choir album (the one w/them on the boat on the cover). it's weird. every once in a while i think it's terrible and then every once in a while i think it's good. it's soooo very seventies. just wish the singing was better.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:41 (twenty years ago)

what about Fever Tree "Creation"

http://www.gosupercool.com/ebay/creation.jpg

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:45 (twenty years ago)

i would buy that fever tree if i saw it. i dig them. or at least i like the first two albums. i have never heard creation.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:48 (twenty years ago)

scott, you made me a mixtape of metal in response to "who should be doing better than the darkness." i enjoyed it, but none of it was foxy. do you like any foxy metal?

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:50 (twenty years ago)

like hair metal, you mean?

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:56 (twenty years ago)

well, i call it pop-metal. but yeah, stuff that paul stanley could do his little dance to.

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:57 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i like all that stuff. i like diamond rexx. i used to give the weird stuff i found to chuck. i've still got a stack of good 80's stuff though.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 6 January 2006 00:00 (twenty years ago)

SCOTT WOULD YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT 'JUST DROPPED IN TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION IS IN' IS A COOL 45?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 6 January 2006 00:30 (twenty years ago)

it's amazingly cool. the coolest thing on the album it's on by a long shot. it's really out of place on the album.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 6 January 2006 00:41 (twenty years ago)

there was a period a few months back when everytime I got drunk (which is fairly often obv) I found myself putting on Lep's On Through The Night. Damn that record is great.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 6 January 2006 04:08 (twenty years ago)

Skot do you know this?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:00 (twenty years ago)

i've seen it for sale in stores before, but i've always passed it up cuz it was always over 20 bucks and i never thought it looked like anything that i should spend that much on. but i've been wrong before!

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:17 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, it kind has a 'hmmm..' look to it. always so tough to tell. But it has an 8 minute song, that could be a positive! I wouldn't buy it at that dude's price, was just wondering what you knew..

I need to sell a bunch of records, man. I can't believe some of the prices on there. Mountain Goats tapes go for like over $100?? who knew? I'm always lazy about listing though. there should be a rolling eBay thread to discus stuff. I need to know the stuff I should be selling.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:25 (twenty years ago)

ebay is really glutted. too much stuff. it's a buyers market. i've done okay on some stuff though. i made good money on pretty common guided by voices vinyl on ebay. their fans don't mind paying. meanwhile, you can't give Fall records away.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:43 (twenty years ago)

you can't give Fall records away.

If they're looking for a home...
