today I bought:


.looking on amazon, i see seacaucus being sold for $60.... insane

Speaking of insane, the other week I found a tape of Secaucus on sale at a Flying J truckstop in New Milford, PA.


It freaked me out seeing Eddie Money, Dire Straits, and Patsy Cline next to the Wrens.

[davy]

whoa, that is weird.

text:
Engorged - Where Monsters Dwell
Zombie Ritual - Night Of The Zombie Party
Gigantic Brain - The Invasion Discography

also, comics:
Tales From Uranus #1-7
Satanic Tomb Of Gore #1


those comics are by the same guy who did that Zombie Ritual album cover (he also did both of Ghoul's album covers which i love as well, and a bunch of other cool covers). upon learning of their existence i pretty much had to have them immediately. i mean check this shit out, how could you not want it? www.talesfromuranus.net

god just look... http://www.talesfromuranus.net/gallzg.jpg
these need to get here now. right now.

[Ah_Pook]

got this as a birthday present today

[John]

OMG Ah Pook that was completely awesome in every way

[nati1107]

happy bday ah_pook!

i remember liking echolocation but why do you always see it on the used bins?

[boganlux]

Used:

The Aislers Set How I Learned to Write Backwards
Railroad Jerk One Track Mind

[Ah_Pook]

OMG Ah Pook that was completely awesome in every way

yeah im pretty stoked about it as well. insane comics + metal/horror movie/weird cult shit zine = the win. i'll post up more about them once i get them all in and digested or something.

[Ah_Pook]

happy bday ah_pook!

i remember liking echolocation but why do you always see it on the used bins?

thanks

i dunno how you could sell an experimental folk album that features a song with the lines "i wish i was a viking in 1103/i would fuck shit up on the high cold sea", really.

[Ah_Pook]

man so, those Engorged and Zombie Ritual albums are both totally ripping. Razorback continues to put out top notch thrashgrind, god bless em. the Gigantic Brain is pretty cool too, but it definitely needs more spins. so much there to digest. im looking forward to him putting out a full length though, thats for sure.

also got these as bday presents:

Tom Waits - Real Gone
Bill Hicks - Live (DVD of 3 different concerts)

[derrick]

Aarktica - Pure Tone Audiometry
A Girl Called Eddy- s/t
Veda Hille & Christof Migone - Escape Songs
A Northern Chorus - Spirit Flags
Lucinda Williams - Essence

The second is INCREDIBLE; why hadn't I heard it sooner? 1 and 4 are nice shoegazey albums, with several great songs apiece but lots of run-of-the-mill sound. I really like the fifth, probably more than 'Car Wheels on A Gravel Road'.

fygment, I missed it earlier: are you enjoying The Trinity Session? I love that album.

[davy]

well, the cowboy junkies are my wife's band, really...we had one album--not one of the better ones--that i never listened to, but i read somewhere about trinity sessions and it sounded good so i thought i'd get it for my wife, who loves that other record. i don't know exactly what i was expecting--a gloomier old 97s, maybe?--but it wasn't what i heard. it took two or three listens to get my expectations out of my head, and since i was buying so much new music at the time, i didn't get a chance to listen to it anymore. it'll take some more time before i'm on their same wavelength, but i think i'll dig it just fine eventually. it's night music, though...that i can tell already.



DFA compilation #2 (the last thing i bought in fort collins, and probably the last thing i'll buy for some time. no more free money for music )

[Nickosaurus]

I bought this today, but haven't heard it yet. I'm pretty excited about it, though.

[boganlux]

I picked up Dillenger Escape Plan Calculating Infinity (which I already know and love) and James Brown Live at the Apollo.

If you like that Bulgarian field recordings record, Nick, you should pick up some of the Nonesuch Explorer field recordings. The Nonesuch ones are totally straight, non-edited, but there's some awesome music on some of them. And there is a Bulgarian one, but I haven't heard that one. I really love the Bali ones.

[derrick]

yes, Trinity is definitely night music. Or drunk music, appropriately. Tp better understand where the junkies are coming from, get their first record, 'Whites Off Earth Now!!', which is all Robert Johnston and John Lee Hooker covers, plus a Springsteen cover. Also, search their last two, which go way off the MOR path into sludgy drone blues again.
