been meaning to revisit feats don't fail me now: long, long time since i last heard it, but remember it as being really good & le goudron is ace (don't think i've ever heard the flipside)

eagerly awaiting the arrival of the beefheart sun zoom spark box!

Feats Don't Fail Me Now is all killer, no filler

Sun Zoom Spark box is useless to me since I have all those Spotlight Kid Sessions from DIME. Super disappointing that they left "Funeral Hill" off of that 4th disc. I guess if the remasters are really well done I might look for it used.

Some cool stuff there sleeve, quite a few I'm coveting from over here (No Trend, Really Red, Poison Girls, would like to get the Damned and Wire on vinyl one day, just to begin with, and I'm sure the Dead C, Jad Fair, Slovenly etc are probably up my street too). I do have the Spizzoil 7" though.

take the toys from the boys will always be my fave poison girls song. on that EP.

also, dozen dead roses probably my fave no trend song.

the dead c should be up everyone's street :-) have fond memories of seeing them play in port chalmers over the years.

never had decals on anything but cdr so that's the one i'm most hyped about hearing, also means i can retire my warped clear spot (so glad i pre-ordered this before the price doubled)

Oh yeah I've seen the Dead C live and have several of their albums, just not that one.

mac from siltbreeze (r.i.p.) gave me a copy of clyma years ago. i played it once. and then years later i sold it. and that's my sad tale. i've never listened to dead c much. i'm not supposed to admit that. but there you have it. i listen to lots of other stuff though.

what's on the 'tentative power' ep?

the Xpressway "Hell Is Not Love"/"Bone" single, the Forced Exposure single, and a couple of other tracks iirc

I really want Ba Da Bing to reissue Operation of The Sonne, that's the only other "classic" era one that I need

oh, that FE single was great - it kind of spoilt the Dead C for me thereafter. that version of 'power' is terrific!

i finally got a copy of monoshock's walk to the fire on vinyl. double vinyl. i always wanted that one. labelmates with my brother at the time. blackjack records.

I wish I still had that, I think I sold it in the 90's

speaking of noisy guitars...

blackjack were the crew who put out liquorball amirite?

yup

the blackjack guy was in monoshock.

I wish I still had that, I think I sold it in the 90's

yeah me too! all my underground 7"s gone in one big clear out for £££ (including a liquorball single on glow-in-the-dark vinyl which was just so good). kills me thinking about it :(

xp oh right that figures

i think when they mastered the tentative power stuff it got slightly sped up in the process didn't it? i remember the guitars ended up sounding kind of balalaika like. got rid of mine since i already had most of it on 7" and clyma isn't too hard to find here. sometimes think operation of the sonne is my favourite dead c.

i gotta get to a regular record store to catch up on the non dollar bin / old man side of things. but anyway,

I got a good one:

Michael Hurley - Blue Navigator

Media Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-)
Sleeve Condition: Good Plus (G+)
Disc is great. Sleeve is tough to grade in that its in great condition, but there is a strip of black spray paint about 1/4 inch wide running down the left and bottom sides of the front of the jacket.

YES PLEASE

/braggin'

whoa! that's the super rare one, right? <3 <3 <3 hurley

yep, I never ever see it

I have a homemade CDR of it that I bought from Hurley at a gig, but I suspect his ripping gear is not exactly high end. still pissed at Mississippi for reissuing it on 8-track only.
