What new music did you buy today.

[ellaguru]

The Horrible Crowes - Elsie

Side project from Brian Fallon, the guy from The Gaslight Anthem. It's got a similar vibe to The Gaslight Anthem, but a little mellower, maybe. There are several fine songs on.


Dr. John - Locked Down

davy, have you heard this? I'm pretty impressed.

[davy]

Listened to a bit of it for the first time on Sunday, and yeah, the collaboration works better than I thought! Definitely looking forward to spending some quality time with it.

    HEAVY METAL VINYL OVERLOAD         

[Thermofusion]

What's on that John Adams LP?

[peacocks]

christ Slime what are you, a billionaire?

[Babar]

I feel like the covers on each picture are loosely thematically related. Intentional?

[davy]

christ Slime what are you, a billionaire?

[narlus]

christ Slime what are you, a billionaire?

he bought part of a billionaire's estate sale

[davy]

Seriously though, that's gotta be well over $1000 of vinyl.

[peacocks]

most \m/ billionaire ever

[Good Intentions]

Most of that looks like you could find it in a dollar bin (the Mayhem, Immortal, Venom, some others, maybe not).

[davy]

No dollar bin I've ever seen.

Anything vinyl by any of those bands you just mentioned would be at least $15 here, used or not.

You might stand a chance of scoring some of those Dio/Manowar/Hawkwind/Priest records for under $10.

[auto-da-fey]

yeah, davy's definitely right on this. if I saw Jandek in a dollar bin my head might explode.

though I did come across the 2-disc Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain reissue on CD in a dollar bin the other week, and bought it on account of simply being unable to pass it by even though I'm not a Pavement diehard and have yet to play all the b-sides and random extras. the first disc was very minorly scuffed but plays fine, so I have no idea why it was so cheap.

[jebreject]

Because it's a CD

[tort]

I ordered a reissue of the Embarrassment 7" Sex Drive/Patio Set.

[Slime]

These are purchases from the past two months.  Some even older.  I've gotten pretty serious about collecting heavy metal records. 

I hope you all noticed the best piece of art there...

[fishjim]

Hey Slime, I just discovered a shop you'd dig in Medford, Oregon: Musichead - Music to your Eyes

Best metal selection I've seen in a long time, mostly CDs though.

My haul:


Danzig 1 + 2 (Lucifuge) Custom DVD Uncut


Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son


Killer Mike - Monster


Outkast - Stankonia

There's more but I'm about to run out of library internetz time. To be continued....

[Nick Ink]

I just sent Mr.Machinefabriek some more clams, in return for these (all digital, though the third comes with a set of postcards):


Celer & Machinefabriek - Numa/Penarie

This is the second 7-inch from Celer & Machinefabriek. The first (Maastunnel/Mt.Mitaake) was ridiculously good:

A couple of other things that are imminent are the Stroomtoon album on Nuun Records (experiments with loops made on an analogue tone generator), and a simple static drone piece called Elastiek.

edit: Having realised that I had inadvertently swindled Rutger out of the correct postage for those postcards, I also just bought this one, partly out of guilt:


One Man Nation & Machinefabriek

[ellaguru]

Stopped at a record show on the way home today:


Iggy Pop - Lust for Life


Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man


Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP


Kris Kristoferson - The Silver-Tongued Devil and I


Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove


De La Soul - Three Feet High and Rising


Van Morrison - Astral Weeks


Tom Waits - Small Change

[fishjim]

Arlo, I could make a pretty cool mix from that haul. I'd call it Fishjim: The Teenage Years

[ellaguru]

Yeah, about half of it me too - the Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Van Morrison are part of my Upgrading from CD project. I wasn't listening to any funk or hip hop back then, though.

[ellaguru]

Vinyl!

But of course!
