No, I didn't see her. Lots of movie people live here though. At least in the summer. I like seafood, but I guess I'm not big on fish. Which is kinda sad, cuz it is the one thing you can get here that is really good. I like fried shrimp! I like any kind of shrimp. And scallops! I like scallops a lot. Just fried up in a pan with some butter. mmmmmm. I feel bad for lobster though. I feel when you eat a lobster that you are eating something that is connected with the birth of the universe and that lobsters could tell us a lot about aliens and the birth of the pyramids and the loss of Atlantis. They look ancient and holy. So do fish to me, actually. I guess that's why I stick with sea-bugs like shrimp and scallops.

jack rose was supposed to come here, but i don't know if he is now. i got to know him a bit in philly. he's a nice guy. my brother has had him play at his place in hudson, new york a couple times. the last time he played in hudson my brother payed jack in my paintings! what a raw deal! i'm glad he has some though. they weren't that bad. they were a part of my ongoing star portrait series. i'm working on a brad pitt painting right now.

I ate oatmeal with him and fellow noise boarder Brock this summer. We also played with kitties.

scott, where are those psych reviews coming from?

― El Janko (JasonD), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 23:59 (nineteen years ago) link

oh shit, sorry. you mean the ones above? i just googled stuff. i have fun googling every now and again. some are from forced exposure. i just picked the first things i found that looked fairly explanatory.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 00:08 (nineteen years ago) link

scott, i always thought the same thing about outerspace/aliens/underwater creatures/etc. my friend sent me an email a few weeks ago, check it out
Scary ass fish found after Tsunami

― El Janko (JasonD), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 00:15 (nineteen years ago) link

oh man, that one fish looks so human!!! it makes me want to cry a little. they are so beautiful and strange. yeah, that nails why i feel the way i do. i mean, i eat meat and stuff, and i certainly don't get mad at the idea of people fishing. in some places, fish is all there really is to eat. but....i dunno, i don't really care about cows and chickens all that much. marine life seems like some weird living link to the dinosaur days (i do kinda feel the same way about reptiles too, but i don't have to go out of my way not to eat them.). those pictures are amazing to me.

fuck, i was after that mystic siva record, i had no idea it was that expensive though:(

who is jo stafford?

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

why havent you got Bummed yet?

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

should i get that 4cd of dissevelt and baltan related dutch stuff on basta?

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:09 (nineteen years ago) link

should i go to LA, SF, Miami or Lisbon next?

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:09 (nineteen years ago) link

is it silly to spend a large amount of money on a 19th century upper class SF style suit?

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:10 (nineteen years ago) link

jo stafford was a world-famous jazz/pop singer. i haven't seen bummed for a dollar anywhere yet. get the dutch thing and then never listen to it. go to SF, better record stores (maybe). it isn't silly if you can afford to spend the money. money is silly.

Daerest Scawt Sewerd:

What can you tell me about The Hobbits Down To Middle Earth LP? I saw you mention it on some ILM thread. It's at the record store, but it's sealed so I can't listen to it. If I buy it, it would use up the remainder of my credit there. But... is it the jam?

One love,
Ian

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 02:31 (nineteen years ago) link

It's creepy exploito-psych-pop. studio band pretending they are hippies on acid and being way more sickly and bizarre and twee then real hippies. if yoo get really stoned and listen to it you might feel funny. They had another album called *Men And Doors - The Hobbits Communicate* that I am also quite fond of. The song "Men & Doors" is great and the song "Feelings" is total creepycrawly acidbummertrip.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 03:25 (nineteen years ago) link

i just always liked those albums made by studio hacks for a quick buck that made drugs seem really SCARY, you know? Plus, "Let Me Run My Fingers Thru Your Mind" is such a great song-title. You know? But for true psych-snobs the hobbits are just kidz stuff. fuck them though. they pay way too much for bad private-press boogie-rock rekkerds.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 03:30 (nineteen years ago) link

dear scott:

why have you brought the noise board themed "ASK [x]" threads to ILM?

bad form!

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 00:56 (nineteen years ago) link

You know, I actually thought about that. And I do apologize if I've gone overboard, but to be fair, the "ask..." format precedes the noize board if I'm not mistaken. ILE was doing them long ago, no? Maybe I'm wrong. And I have only started Anthony Miccio and a Dan Perry threads and they are both noize-friendly. I would never start one for a real lame-o. Both Dan & Anthony are really fuckin' funny. You know? And they are both kinda crazy too, which i like.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:04 (nineteen years ago) link

sadness is ordering the bobb trimble cd and then being told by forced exposure that they are out of stock and that its out of print.

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:05 (nineteen years ago) link

And, you know, if it makes yoo feel any better, I've considered curtailing my ILX activity to the noize board and the noize board only. I'm kinda sick of normal people lately. I like hiding out down here. I don't, as a rule, enjoy people very much at all. ILX sucked me in somehow.

yoo should be able to find it somewhere, jack.

your enthusiasm for music is REFRESHZING.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:08 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, but you know, it's funny, i actually DID think twice before I started that Miccio thread. Isn't that crazy? I kinda like the seperate identities of the different boards.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:10 (nineteen years ago) link

i found another trimble in the UK -- my fingers are crossed.

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:22 (nineteen years ago) link

when I first discovered ILX Dan wrote this post about some random late-period Genesis track (!) that was seriously one of the best things I ever read.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

So what about that New Toyota Ad with Phil Collins?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 01:28 (nineteen years ago) link

i should check Bobb Trimble, shouldn't I? I've never heard him. He's one of those crazy outsider touched by genius doods, right? I love those guys.

hi scott
once i saw a copy of "heavy rock spectacular" by bram stoker on the marble arch label for, i forget how much but real cheap, & i didn't buy it & never seen a copy again since of course...did i fuck up bad?

― triad menace (24 hour troubleshooter), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 10:36 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm not really "back" 'cause i didn't go anywhere & also i never posted on this board much anyway

― triad menace (24 hour troubleshooter), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 10:37 (nineteen years ago) link

it's the best one outta all the ilxs tho, do you not think

― triad menace (24 hour troubleshooter), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 10:37 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, I do. I feel pretty alienated by a large portion of ilx these days. I can't really get into the whole "ILE" thing anymore, I really can't. but I do love people! I am a man of the people. I just can't get into to some that stuff that goes on over there. but yeah man, I miss you ... let's chat soon. I ain't gonna go on AIM right now 'cuz I am about to go to bed in like one minute. soon tho! I need to send you some tapes.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 10:53 (nineteen years ago) link

yay tapes! that wwould be ace. i can't make tapes from my records at the moment (tape deck = rooted) but when i can i will hit you back......i don't know what i got that that you haven't that y'd want (lotsa NZ stuff, i guess) but i know you got lots stuff i wd want....yeah let's talk! later!!

― forbidden or obsolete (24 hour troubleshooter), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 11:00 (nineteen years ago) link

"same qn as above but re: "cool living" by john ylvisaker on the avant-garde label"

"Don't Cut The Baby In Half" by ylvisaker is rarer, but near mint copies of "cool livin'" and the bram stoker together would probably set you back a couple hundred bucks on the interweb.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 14:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Dear Scott Seward,

I enjoy your work. At the Salvation Army by my house there is a lot of vinyl from the seventies with ugly teenagers pictured on the front (or sometimes the back). Upon closer inspection these records all seem to be regional christian-themed folk. I have resisted picking any up so far because I have Peter Paul and Mary records and I don't even listen to those. Are these types of records very common because I haven't run across them before. Worth listening to? Also what if God was one of us?

sincerly,

chris

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Those doodz like pictures too much. It takes me too long to load pages on my crappy connection. So I just imagine the hijinks and leave it at that. I think I get the general idea.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 23:24 (nineteen years ago) link

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.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 23:55 (nineteen years ago) link

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.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 23:59 (nineteen years ago) link

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?"
