best,
ian

Scott,
What do you think of Nasdijj?

Scott,

How can I grow up to be like you?

phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Thursday, 26 January 2006 19:26 (twenty years ago)

"What do you think of Nasdijj?"

i have one of those books! i've never read it though. i'll have to read that article.

"a vintage touch & go band with elements of east bay ray and the misfits"

hmmm, maybe.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 26 January 2006 19:34 (twenty years ago)

"How can I grow up to be like you?"

i have no idea. i wouldn't recommend it. i lucked out. i have a lot to be thankful for, and i basically spent most of my adult life working shitty jobs, masturbating, drinking, and listening to lots of records. not exactly a recipe for success. the love of a good man/woman can go a long way.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 26 January 2006 19:37 (twenty years ago)

I have a good woman. A really good one.

phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Thursday, 26 January 2006 19:38 (twenty years ago)

Cool!

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 26 January 2006 19:46 (twenty years ago)

i kinda dig it. more than the actual album even. the actual album is okay too when the band gets going, but Hnk3 isn't the grandest of songwriters around. i'm assuming he wrote most of them. but the waterfall/henhouse/sound fx/phone message disc is a hoot.

He's sweet like that. You're sweet too, Stormy. Don't get me wrong. You're practically a candied apple, you're so sweet.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 2 February 2006 03:18 (twenty years ago)

aw thanks! I never liked candied apples as a kid. I hate it when my face gets sticky.

Scott, do you like It's a Beautiful Day - 1st record w/ "White Bird" on it, anyway?

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 11 February 2006 00:08 (twenty years ago)

i asked you a question in the rap you tube thread, but it got burried. do you know Little Boy Blue - i'm looking for a track called Dreamweaver

team jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 11 February 2006 00:13 (twenty years ago)

I like the first It's A Beautiful Day album especially. I don't own any of their records anymore. It's hard to find nice used copies. well, not HARD, i could buy them on ebay, but the ones i see around in thrift stores and such are always beat up. damn hippies. same with quicksilver records. And Lighthouse records! What the fuck were people doing with their Lighthouse albums!!?? I sold my copies at my ill-fated record store in Philly many moons ago.

Nope, never heard of it, jaxon. Jaxon, I'm very disappointed in your non-love for America Eats Its Young. So many great songs on that thing.

scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 11 February 2006 00:20 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I think I must have had the first two albums at one point or another when I was a teenager. And I was just thinking about how I haven't even seen copies of those in dollar bins in a while.

What do you know? A four star review of the first album on AMG. Surely, that was another hippie record that must have gotten one or two stars in the old Rolling Stone record guides.

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 11 February 2006 01:10 (twenty years ago)

re Little Boy Blues: they were a garage-y rock band that put out stuff like this http://www.garage45s.com/littleboyready.mp3

but then for this album they went all doomy organ psych with a bit of jazz and funk. if you listen to this track from diplo's psych/funk mix at 4:15 you can hear it. it's fucking massive.

team jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 11 February 2006 01:21 (twenty years ago)

"White Bird" is easily one of the best songs of the 60s... you gotta love that violin. I have this awesome Hot Tuna bootleg w/ Papa John Creach where they do this "Pretty As You Feel" that sounds ALMOST as awesome as "White Bird" but not quite.

So true about those covers too. It's like, every copy you would find of the first one would ALWAYS have the blue color flaking off leaving white splotches all over the place, so it looked like the lady was standing in snowstorm or sumthin. It took me forever to find a decent one. Same thing with Marrying Maiden -- all the open white space would always be all browned and dirt-laden and shit; took forever to find a nice sparkly white one

scott, so i'm record shopping today and i held in my hands an Eric Mercury album. forget the title, but i think it was from 73 and he was on a black background w/a silver helmet with wings on it.

i don't remember why i once wanted to buy this. i even had it scribbled on my list in my wallet.

i think it was on recommendation from you once, but can't remember.

so i put it back

help me out. did you recommend this?

jäxøñ (jaxon), Sunday, 25 June 2006 03:57 (nineteen years ago)

I was actually gonna revive the skotrok thred myself because I've suddenly realized the absolute brilliance of the Delaney & Bonnie band. the one that Erik Klapton used for his first solo lp + D&Ds. Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, & Donnie Bramlett. That whole axis, when you work in George Harrison and Dave Mason --- kind of made some of like the best music ever for a year & a half period around 1970.

but I've never actually got into the Delaney & Bonnie stuff. I only know the Klapton/Mason/Harrison stuff. but I that Skot is the only person I can recall big upping the D&Bs. So, what do I need Skot? everything?? I'll probably buy it all anyway. I think you would like this stuff too, JaX! do you know "Only You Know & I know" ? that is one hell of a shit-hot cut.

Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:07 (nineteen years ago)

i've got the Accept No Substitute album but it never warmed on me (i also probably had like 30 albums on my desktop i had to listen to and that one just got put to the side after half a listen)

jäxøñ (jaxon), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:09 (nineteen years ago)

the shit is so great .. tho it kinda was the whole thougt/approach that codified "Classic rock" ... man, this band swung so hard, and the tunes were so great.

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=999AE4B71EB1CE4A

Fascinating one year period or so for all of the involved, things moved fast. The early "Tell The Truth" / "Roll It Over" single by the D&Ds totally sounds like punk at times.

Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:22 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, i know that track. and i see that record every time i'm in a record store. silly me never actually thought about who he was and i always thought it was a solo record from nick mason of pink floyd. funny.

here's a track of Delanie & Bonnie's that's on the Country Got Soul comp. sounds like prime motown.

jäxøñ (jaxon), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:37 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah .. that's very nice! thanks, yeah, I will probably just end up picking up all of their early albums. You always see them for a buck or two anyway. I am prepared to take the plunge.

Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:54 (nineteen years ago)

OK I've been eyeing D&B's Home and Get Ourselves Tpgether on Rhapsody for awhile, will listen next week.

The early "Tell The Truth" / "Roll It Over" single by the D&Ds totally sounds like punk at times YOU GOT THAT RITE BRO

this is where I can confess to liking Eric Clapton's s/t solo debut and Dave Mason's Alone Together. A lot.

m coleman (lovebug starski), Sunday, 25 June 2006 10:38 (nineteen years ago)

this is the eric mercury album i have, jaxon:

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 25 June 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

you gotta figure any album titled *Funky Sounds Nurtured In The Fertile Soil Of Memphis That Smell Of Rock* is at least worth listening to once. and you would be right. i really like that album. funky and introspective. i don't know about his later stuff. i think the one you saw was later than 1973.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 25 June 2006 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and I'm not a Delanie & Bonnie expert! I've had albums here and there, but I never gave them a lot of time. I should listen to whatever I have again.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 25 June 2006 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

scott, the reason i am not always listening to buckingham-nicks is cuz i don't own a copy! we had TWO copies at the store for a while, but then both sold within a few days of each other and i missed out.

the eunuchs, Cassim and Mustafa, who guarded Abdur Ali's harem (orion), Sunday, 25 June 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

such a great album. i like it as much as any fleetwood mac album with them on it. i only wish they had made five albums like that before joining FM.

why r u being a dick?

Dr Morbius, Sunday, 17 June 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

Why are you so cool? When can you and your wife come to Miami?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 18 June 2007 02:02 (eighteen years ago)

why am i being a dick? why do you want i love film to just sit there dead with one post a month? i think that's weirder than me wanting to have some fun and post some pictures. maybe some actual interest in the board will revive things. or maybe not. i really don't care. feel free to start your own threads! i always liked the idea of a movie, sorry, "film" board. till i saw what it was like and decided to stick with ile. you want to retain its purity or something? am i defiling a corpse?

alfred, if i'm cool it's because i'm not afraid to ask the HARD questions in the face of public disapproval!

MARCELLO MASTROIANNI -VS- JIM VARNEY

and i don't know when we will make it to miami. i'm not against the idea. if i had my way it would be in winter though.

hi scott,

thanks,
bell_labs

bell_labs, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

Hey Scott,

I like you. I liked your Agalloch review. I got the record and it's great and I know nothing about metal. Can I pay you to make me a mix cd?

Adam

^^ this is a good idea

sanskrit, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 19:20 (eighteen years ago)

scott, do you like NJ metal band Overlorde? tell me something about them.

sanskrit, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

it really was a hoot to me when i was 12 or 13. along with doper dan, the freak brothers, fat freddy's cat, omaha the cat dancer, all those guys. flakey floont. mr natural. it didn't matter. i mean, if i would actually send away for doper dan comix i obviously would read anything. slow death. bizarre sex. hiroshima gen. weirdo. creepy. eerie. heavy metal. epic. i didn't care what it was. it was all weird and i wanted all weird. but i haven't read it in a zillion years and i almost can't believe that he still does it.

^^^ awesome post

and what, Thursday, 12 July 2007 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

there may be aztec metal. it's possible. i am all for further myth exploration. all kinds. i wish there were metal bands that based their cosmos on african myths! and ancient egypt doesn't really count. or indian mythology. chinese mythology. so much to explore.

adam, by the time i made you a mix cd you would be old or dead. my advice would be to last fm it. i am ALWAYS hearing cool stuff on there. just type in agalloch as a tag. or funeral doom. or pagan metal. works like a charm. so much great stuff on there.

i don't think i've ever heard overlorde.

scott seward, Friday, 13 July 2007 12:10 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, Scott, thanks for talking up Agalloch on ILM. It made me DL their last few recs and I love them now.

Jon Lewis, Friday, 13 July 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)

those people who had the aliens from sirius would be cool
