New Album Acquisition Thread #17A-JSX3.5

[davy]

Wintir - Arntor

really loving this cover art for some reason.

is it viking metal?

[Ah_Pook]

Devin Townsed - Ziltoid The Omniscient

this album is pretty much blowing me away right now

"I'm so omniscient that if there were to be two omnisciences... I would be both!"

[WhereTheSlimeLive]

Windir are folk inspiried black metal yes.  And that line is definately my favorite too in that album Pook.  It's the best thing he has done in a while...mostly because his albums are too long for their own good and are marred by too many tracks that are just boring bombast.  This doesn't go into that for much later then usual.

[Maaik]

Patton Oswald - Werewolves and Lollipops

SO fucking funny, guys.


Dungen - Tito Bitar

used for eight bucks.  rockin' as shit.

[Andrew_TSKS]

why the hell have i not bought that dungen album yet. i'm lame.

[Maaik]

Like I said, it's rockin' as shit.  It sounds like all those old psychedelic records my dad's got in his collection.

[Trousers and Pat]

Mosaika- Rubicon

I got this from the thrift shop today. Haven't listened yet, anybody know anything about it? All the text is in Russian.

(also Black Market Clash, Love is all Around- the Troggs, Muswell Hillbillies...)

your dad owns albums as good as dungen? by what bands?

[hannah]

Patton Oswald - Werewolves and Lollipops

SO fucking funny, guys.


Dungen - Tito Bitar

used for eight bucks.  rockin' as shit.

Both of these covers are awesome.

[Black Amnesia of Heaven]

Bought a shitload of vinyl at both Amoeba and Rasputin in the past two days, so essentially this San Francisco trip has been the time of my life:






Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz
Smog - The Doctor Came at Dawn
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Joy Division - Closer

Might I add that all of these are HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL.

Just ordered the J. Tillman - I Will Return / Long May You Run double CD reissue. I've been waiting for this for a long time and just found out that it's now available. These are two of my all-time favorite records. And it's only $12.99 for both (plus $4 S+H)! What a deal. You can get it in the US at www.sonicboomrecords.com and in Europe through Fargo.

[rockmeamadeus]

BAH!: man that is one frigging sweeeeet haul you have there, that Ornette Coleman album... changed my life man.

pre-ordered this today:



been really looking forward to this. has a bitching cover of "stagolee" on it.

[davy]

what do they sound like?

[rockmeamadeus]

mid-western hardcore, sort of old-school in that they have a yelling-to-the-point-of-esophagus-damage singer, sweet guitar riffs, breakdowns and pensive interludes, and sold no-frills drumming...

I make it sound not so distinctive, but they are my favorite hardcore band currently making music.

Off the top of my head--and I'm not saying they're like TEH BEST REKKIDS EVAH, but they're pretty psyched out:
Crazy World of Arthur Brown
The Blues Magoos - Electric Comic Book
The Frost - Rock and Roll Music (this is particularly crucial Detroit garage psyche stuff)

Next time I'm home, I need to tape some of these albums.

Ah, cool, thanks for lettng me know. Yet another addition to my wishlist.

Meanwhile, I picked up these in Berlin, all on CD:


Taku Sugimoto - Italia


Loren Connors & David Grubbs - Arborvitae

and as an impulse buy (on the basis of a song I'd heard on a mix at some point and because I saw in the same label section as the Connors/Grubbs CD) and to make up for the fact that the disc for the third album I wanted to buy (the Keith Rowe/Oren Ambarchi collaboration on Staubgold) was impossible to find and that the empty digipack, while certainly pretty, just didn't hold the same appeal to me, I also bought this:


3/4HadBeenEliminated - A Year Of The Aural Gauge Operation

[DanielBurns11]

I just got these in the mail.

Against Me! - New Wave 12" (180 gram translucent yellow vinyl)
Against Me! - Thrash Unreal 7" (Limited Edition)
The Mountain Goats - Coroner's Gambit CD

Vinyl just makes me so happy!

[joseph scott]

That double quartet album is fucking phenomenal...

[milesofsparks]

showing my local music store a little love...
still waiting for P&T and Bowerbirds to come in.
damn I need to get a job asap

[Maaik]

That double quartet album is fucking phenomenal...

That was the first jazz album I ever bought.  Talk about jumping in with both feet.

[Good Intentions]

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

On vinyl? Good score.

[Greg Nog]

THAT'S the cover of Emerald City?  When he had a perfectly good woejilli to do a painting?  What?

[jebreject]

yeah, that is a terrible, terrible cover

only in the rarest of circumstances should an artist be allowed to put his own face on the album cover

[davy]

it's the hands-clasped-legs-crossed emo pose that really gets my goat.
