null, it's another self-released CD-R. Tara had just a couple of copies with her when she and the Iditarod pulled into our unworthy burg last week (followed by NNCK the following night! so all this weird weather was just the start...) i'm blanking as to whether Moon or Troibaritz had the Gibbons Bros/Fursaxa trax (Moon, i think. yeah. Moon.) BTW, i urged Tara to sweet-talk her way onto the 5/3-4 Brattleboro Free Folk Fest bill. so hopefully she has done just that, and you'll be there, and you can find out for yourself soon enough. if not, Ed Eclipse will doubtless be hawking 'em once he gets back to Bullhead City.

Ah, Summers, you know the power of Ed as well? Great guy!

And meanwhile...one last final this was it megatrawl through that almost dead Wherehouse was done today. Total price I paid for the below -- $98...which would have been the normal cost for only five CDs there before all this. The Wherehouse's ridiculous pricing policy is why I feel for the employees but not one whit for the company itself.

S.I. Futures (aka Si Begg) -- The Mission Statement
Caroline's Spine -- Monsoon
Chicks on Speed -- this B-52's tribute/collaboration single or something
Julee Cruise -- The Art of Being a Girl
DJ Assault -- Jefferson Ave.
The Emotions -- Best of My Love (best-of comp)
Joy Electric -- The Art and Craft of Popular Music (double disc best of)
Jucifer -- I Name You Destroyer (JBR mentioned this on a thread today, thought I'd give it a whirl!)
Kentucky Headhunters -- Best Of
Longwave -- Day Sleeper
Men Without Hats -- Pop Goes the World
Stephin Merritt -- Eban and Charley (my continuing project to investigate everything else that ISN'T 69LS)
Robert Palmer -- Best of Both Worlds (greatest hits double disc, this looks ridiculously great, actually)
The Presidents of the United States of America -- Pure Frosting
Charlie Rich -- Ultimate Collection (also ridiculously great, and it has "Feel Like Going Home" on it, which the Walkabouts turned into one of their greatest ever performances, so I've always wanted to hear the original...)
Jonathan Richman -- Home of the Hits (this one is weird, it's actually a double disc comp where the first disc cherrypicks the Berzerkley stuff and the second disc is actually a compilation of all the other Berzerkley bands, the Rubinoos and Greg Kihn and all that)
Sam and Dave -- Rhino best-of
Sixteen Horsepower -- Folklore
Percy Sledge -- It Tears Me Up (Rhino best-of)
The Strawbs -- Halcyon Days (double disc best of)
Suede -- A New Morning (finally -- also it's the bonus-track-laden Australian version, rah)
Sylvia -- Rhino best-of
Trashmonk -- Mona Lisa Overdrive (I figure this sucks but might be amusing)
Treepeople -- Just Kidding
Erkki-Sven Tüür -- Crystallisatio
Wumpscut -- Eevil Young Flesh
v/a -- the One AD/Two AD/Three AD series of ambient comps on Waveform -- ah, the mid-Nineties
v/a -- Trance Atlantic Two (part of the Volume series of spinoff comps
v/a -- World of Sound (this looks really fun, it's this random collection of BBC TV and radio theme songs)
v/a -- Sounds You Can Feel (Doc Martin mix disc)
v/a -- Danny Tenaglia: Choices (some sort of double-disc 'All Back to Mine' style thing, his favorite tracks etc.)

misty dixon 'iced to mode'(my new favorite band)


trashmonk is the worst, it starts off with a wonderful song then goes straight to hell.

Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Saturday, 26 April 2003 03:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

And this from record shopping before the Primal Scream show! I'm making up for lost time or something:

Jason Bill and Jack Rose -- via St. Louis
Electric Company -- 62-56
Charlie Feathers -- Get With It (double disc on Revenant)
Herbert -- Around the House
Jiffy Loop -- s/t
Mount Florida -- Stealth EP
Siddal -- The Crossing
Soulwax -- Much Against Everyone's Advice
v/a -- Sub Rosa Underwood Two
v/a -- Six Stage Phaser (Vinyl Communications comp)
v/a -- Clicks and Cuts 2 (3 disc Mille Plateaux comp with the likes of Farben, Swayzak, Vladislav Delay, Reinhard Voigt, Thomas Brinkmann, Hakan Lidbo, Fennesz, etc...)

...and the BBC radio production of The Lord of the Rings with Ian Holm, found used at a great price. Rock.

Ordered yesterday from Ed Eclipse (for he doth rule):

Fushitsusha - s/t (PSF 3/4)
Fushitsusha - Double Live (PSF 15/16)

Thanks, Julio, for reminding me in another thread that I still needed to snag those jewels!

Also, nearly completed my High Rise collection a couple of weeks ago by getting:

Psychobomb
Durophet
Live
Disallow
Psychedelic Speed Freaks '84 - '85
Desperado
(Speed Free Sonic is on back order)

These were oddly a supplement to the 2 10-disc High Rise La Musica boxes I've had for some time, which I suppose is the opposite of the way most folks would do it...

and... Acid Mothers Temple - St. Capt. Freakout & the Magic Bamboo Request, which is really tres awesome in headphones..........

Will be snagging the new Flaming Lips CD EP soon...

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 07:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ah, "Voodooism", Lee Perry, pretty cheap - not sure that this is as good as it's supposed to be but "Wolf Out Deh/Shepherd Rod" rules.

Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 12:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

... plus "River"/"River Stone" by Zap Pow which invents early Cabaret Voltaire

Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 12:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Kid Koala - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (already a favorite but never owned it)
Low - Things We Lost in the Fire
New Pornographers - Electric Version (not being a critic, was v. excited to find an advance copy in the used bin of one of my regular haunts, although it has no booklet; on a first listen I like lots, songwriting seems a little less straightforward than on Mass Romantic -- reminds me of The Loud Family, which is just fine)
Oval - 94 Diskont and OvalProcess
Pale Horse and Rider - These Are the New Good Times
Pere Ubu - Dub Housing
Soft Pink Truth - Do You Party? (Was afraid I wouldn't like this but I LOVE it; does more for me than Vocalcity)
Tortoise - Millions Now Living...

And on order:
Manitoba - Up in Flames
Coloma - Finery (very excited about this based on what I've heard online, although the nice guy at the counter seemed a little skeptical that they'd be able to get it for me)

And REALLY I have to cut back on CD purchases; this has been the "worst" month ever and I can't keep spending like this. REALLY.

Buttch - as The Cramps once sang, you got good taste. I that Tubby album a good one?

Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Aw, thanks. Only listened to it once but yeah, pretty good. Has a few tracks that I have elsewhere but still worth what I paid--$10. In case you didn't know, that Yabby You disc's full title is 'King Tubby's Prophecy of Dub' and is a must have if you are at all into dub. All the Blood & Fire Yabby You releases are very highly recommended (surprise surprise).

Jon Williams (ex machina), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

M. Ward - "Transfigurations of Vincent" - which left my jaw on the floor. I picked it up because somebody on this board, and I forget who, was extolling its many virtues. And it has many virtues, which worked out well.

Fruit Bats - "Mouthfuls" - I have a weakness for that jingle jangle morning shit

Minus 5 - "Down with Wilco" - which I haven't actually listened to yet.

That new Sadies album, the name of which eludes me, which I also have yet to hear

And on order: GoGoGo Airheart, the new Ex Models, the Majesticons.

Rawk, etc.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 May 2003 00:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Sunday Bloody Sunday" still annoys me because the music's so happy and then Bono has to ruin things by bitching about the IRA. "Seconds" just blows - why did everyone sound so fruity in the 80s? Oh well, "New Year's Day" should justify this purchase but I was hoping there would be one or two other good songs on this too.
