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

no problem man! you'll love those.

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 (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

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

i've just ordered this - can't wait to get it. Misty Dixon are a treasure. Tyack (genius) + Jane Weaver (genius) = almost too much genius for me to handle.

Did that fix the italics?

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.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 4 May 2003 01:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

Good Lord, could they find a crappier drum sound?

sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 4 May 2003 01:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

I like the whole first side of War but myself I am cheesy and earnest, you see?

Anyways:
Hawtin: DE9
Tiga: DJ Kicks
Swayzak: Dirty Dancing
Dj Hell: Electronicbody-Housemusic
(yoshitoshi in DC is closing, so all was 50% off)
and finally... for only $4.50 at MusicNOW... a mint copy of... wait for it...
St. Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart 12" with the MAW mixes!!!! :-)

A few items of assorted used vinyl from the mighty WFMU record fair:

Terry Riley & John Cale - "Church of Anthrax"
Art Bears - "Hopes and Fears" (first song skips - arggggh!)
Keith Jarrett - "G.I. Gurdjieff Sacred Hymns"

o. nate (onate), Sunday, 4 May 2003 03:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

I can't believe it - I fixed the dreaded skip! In my desperation, I did a search on Google for record skips, and found this webpage. I decided to give it a try and it actually worked. I didn't have a straight pin so I used the thinnest sewing needle I could find. Check this out if you have any records that skip:

http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/7049/skips.htm

I think maybe I'll try that record-washing trick on some of my cruddy old records too.

o. nate (onate), Sunday, 4 May 2003 04:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yesterday:

Opeth - Damnation : Not metal at all, just pleasant songs. Great album.

Blur - Think Tank (ltd. edition) : Two days before the official release date! Thank God for street markets...

Marion - The Program : Best buy ever for €2,50!

I liked it a lot better on second listen, Aaron. 80s-ness just takes a little getting used to.

Side 2 of Domestic and Public Pieces is great. Do you know this, Julio or anyone?

If Stoke is the CD I'm thinking of, I have heard it and like it.
