ASK SCOTT SEWARD

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

is there any mexican death metal that is about aztecs
^^ this is a good idea

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

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

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.

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

metal bands that based their cosmos on african myths

those people who had the aliens from sirius would be cool

Is there a Varg Vikernes of the Arab world, who shuns Islam for the pre-Mohammedian gods?

Scott, have you heard the new album by BARONESS???

wow, that ebay thing is funny. he's gonna buy everything on my list one by one! cool.

i really like the new baroness. it SOUNDS great.

"Scott is on ILX hiatus til winter, he said. :("

yeah, so much for my hiatus. i lasted a couple of weeks though! i get bored. what can i say. it was nice for awhile.

Confessions of the Game Doctor by Bill Kunkel (#130067942411)

i met and interviewed kunkel once, he is a motherfucking character and a half, really fun to talk to.

Scott, why are you so awesome on your birthday?

^^^ LEGIT QUESTION

scott my dad is blown away that someone knows who the hook is.

"Scott, why are you so awesome on your birthday?"

it helps to have a great sexy partner in krime.

Hey Scott

I was looking at a record by National Health, i think it's their first album..some kinda jazzy/proggy thing...are they good?? (it was $7 looked in decent shape)

Scott where is your ebay FUCK YOU FUCK YOU DIE thread. I would much like to read that again.

i don't think national health were that great. it's been so long since i've heard one. probably worth five bucks anyway. i know i had one at one time years ago.

i don't remember the title of that ebay thread. this is my favorite ebay listing at the moment:

http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-BEATLES-RARE-78-RPM-MADE-IN-INDIA-RECORD-VINYL_W0QQitemZ120166893904QQihZ002QQcategoryZ306QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

the guy just keeps going and going and going and going and...well, you'll see.

hey scott.
i almost bought you a copy of the first happy & artie traum record when i was in RI over the weekend, but i didn't have enough cash on me to get that AND the other crap i was getting. like a rosalie sorrels LP with a full band! i haven't listened to that yet. it was $4.

scott tell me what your favorite dollar bin R&B record is 1975-1985

rosalie iz my hero.

i didn't see this thread revive.

deej, there are so many. i could never pick one. sheesh. i'll give you a tip just in case you don't own them though: mid-70's temptations records are so hot. or i love them anyway. who the hell even knows who was in the group by then. anyway, *a song for you*, *house party*, and *wings of love* are records that i always play. and they are total dollar records. and everyone needs every shalamar record. and lots of fatback albums. and there are a lot of fatback albums. i love fatback. oh it's endless. if it looks funky and it's from the 70's and it's a dollar and it's in decent shape and you've never heard it, BUY IT. that's my motto.

scott i just saw a metal band called 3 inches of blood. they were so fucking amazing.

hey scott where is that thread where you posted your friend's paintings including one w/ the phillies phanatic?

you can find his stuff here:

i looked into his oldsmobile and he tried to sell me some crappy can boot for $30
i declined

thanks scott!

btw, do you have access to Curtis's Borad aka 77?

if not, it is a tremendous oversight and we would enjoy your presence immediately.

"scott i finally met stinky steve"

yay!

"btw, do you have access to Curtis's Borad aka 77?"

i dunno what that is.

scott email me what email address you log into ILX with: gr8080 @ gmail

hay scott, i listened to your (recent? third?) mix for hotheads on the way to work today. it ruled. i do not have a question.

Daer Scott Seward,

A track came up in my shuffle and I thought of you because you seem to be the right person to go to about this Nuggets-y sort of question.

Here's the track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZVmRpXtRyI

(the first track btw)

From what I gather this track was released in 1967, at a time when garage rock was in a significant decline in the US. But this band, Singapore's THE QUESTS, seem to have a certain edge, whether it's the drippy in-your-face Peter Gunn guitar or the drummer who favors his floor tom, that seems to come across as pretty "wild".

Was this sound captured on this track a stylistic anomaly or pretty par for the course for global party cover bands? Like, were the Quests channeling what was happening in, say, Detroit at the time? Do you see what I'm getting at here (dare I use the P-word)?

hey scott seward have you heard the god particles

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10385675.stm

"Was this sound captured on this track a stylistic anomaly or pretty par for the course for global party cover bands?"

pretty much par for the course! garage rock got to asia a little bit later and it isn't uncommon to hear mid 60's dance/garage/surf rave-ups even into the early 70's in some countries. have you heard the cambodian rocks comps? a lot of that stuff is late 60's. a lot of it very surf-influenced. the ventures were gods in asia. first in japan, but then all over. they had a huge influence on non-western rock back then.

"hey scott seward have you heard the god particles"

no, i haven't! and now i think a lot of experimental sound artists are gonna have to go find new hobbies!

milton, have you heard my friend craig's sun boxes? very cool.

that was my don't believe in beatles mix. if you know michael daddino he might have it. unless you are michael daddino, in which case that info probably won't do you much good. i can ask maria if she still has it. she might. i gotta get on the ball with new mixes. i have two new hothead mixes on tape, but i am so friggin' digitally impaired.

Yes! That's the one. I had it saved on a computer that broke down. And unfortunately I don't know anyone, ha-ha. But Thanks for the tracklist, I can at least try and track down a bunch of the tracks if some beautiful person doesn't show up here and post a link. There's so many fun songs on that mix.

hey, everything, a certain someone lurking on this thread sent me a link:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/djux14

now wasn't that nice?

sun boxes are something we're all going to need

sounds like a cross between joe jones - solar music and garlo - vent de guitares

Xpost. Aw man, thanks 1,000,000. And thank whoever sent that mix back to you! :-))

scott, do you like reggae?

yes. yes i do. i don't listen to it much though. and reggae records have always been currency to me. meaning, i never held on to them. always good trade-in at record stores cuz record stores ALWAYS need more reggae records. so, i own next to no reggae records. when i was a kid i liked bob marley and black uhuru. this will sound dumb, but sometimes i feel self-conscious playing reggae if i think someone can hear me. i used to feel this way about playing the dead if there was an open window around. cuz i was afraid people would think i was a hippie. isn't that silly? but even if i play reggae in the store someone will almost always come in and say something like:"oh, playing a little reggae, huh? Irie!" it's weird. nobody does that when i play any other kind of music. and usually this makes me want to take it off.

but, anyway, i really like lots of 60's stuff and ska and blue beat and rock steady and prince buster and desmond dekker and skinhead reggae and all that really beautiful 60's jamaican soul stuff and 70's dub and 70's deep smoked-out roots/religious stuff and augustus pablo and i like dancehall and i even like 50's stuff too. when we were on marthas vineyard a month ago i found out that there are jamaican guys there who have a sound system - they open up all the reggae shows on the island - and i listened to their local radio show and it was great! lots of newer stuff that i've never heard and a lot of it was very cool.

Hey Scott I remember somewhere you praised Danny O'Keefe's 'Global Blues'. I've found all of his records up to Global Blues and there are certain things I really love about each of his records. Sometimes it's a country vibe, folkie or jazzy boogie rock. He has a unique way of doing all of those styles in a way different for anyone else. 'So Long Harry Truman' is my recent favorite, the sorrowful moments are heartbreaking. Was Global Blues a new horizon for him, should I buy this cheap copy on ebay?

Has Scott gone off the internet?

97.

Are you gonna make any more mixes? PLEASE SAY YES.
