No. It's Thursday.

John Fahey's Requila on vinyl was today's purchase.

Lewis and Clarke - Live on WPRB

Got it at the show last night, mostly because it so pretty on white vinyl.  They seemed like nice people.  I think this will be good to go to sleep to.

[das kranke Tier]

So, hey, anybody ever hear of an act called Hazmat Modine?

the weeds "aka the lollipop shoppe" LP

i have a version of this record under the name of "just colour" by the lollipop shoppe. i wasn't sure this was the same record until i googled it. i had no idea the lollipop shoppe were really called the weeds. so yeah, thanks for posting this--i learned something!

yeah, i've got the "just colour" LP too.  there's stuff on "aka..." that's not on "just colour" and vice versa.  i couldn't tell by your post if you discovered this through your google search.  and if you didn't know the lollipop shoppe were called the weeds you might not've seen "unknown passage: the dead moon story" yet either.  if you haven't, you MUST.  most inspiring.  most funny.  most endearing.  ALSO, did you know fred & toody are now in a band called the pierced arrows?  great enough to heal the wound that dead moon left by splitting up.  i actually kinda like/love them even more that dead moon.  the new drummer has tightened things up, but in a good way.  they played here not long ago and straight ruled.

[Andrew_TSKS]

dude, i didn't know about any of that. i didn't know there WAS a dead moon documentary. i'm so excited to see that now.

[Killdozersnakeboy]

The Dead Moon doco is one of the best things I've ever seen. They are straight up lovely people and an inspiration to all who would like to live outside of the mainstream. GO AND WATCH IT!

Real Groovy just put a new bunch of used 7's on the shop floor today. I got:
Lightning Beat-Man - Wrestling's Greatest Monthly Tournament
Squirrel Bait - Kid Dynamite/Slake Train Coming
Armitage Shanks - One Chord Wonders
Rodan - How The Winter Was Passed

New 7's. Slovenly Rreissues of old records which cannot be found without a large amount of money.
Black Lips - In & Out/Stuck In My Mind
Black Lips - Does She Want/Stoned

[Andrew_TSKS]

fuck yeah, props for that squirrel bait 7 inch! brian macmahan from slint when he was 15!

not like it matters all that much, but i'm fairly certain that these aren't re-issues, but out-takes from other sessions.  fuck, though, yeah, some of their records can set you back some serious cash.  i'm still aching for a copy of that live radio session lp.

[Killdozersnakeboy]

For some reason I thought they were old Die Slaughterhaus releases. Either way, I'm pretty happy. A friend has that radio session record. It's pretty good but not nearly worth the money people shell out on ebay at the mo. In saying that i'd drop a chunk of $$ on the original pressing of the Party At Rob's House 7"

Squirrel Bait rock. They were a stupidly good band for their age.

[mountmccabe]

the lp used for $6.

fixed it.

for future reference, this place runs on bbcode rather than html. images work like this

.

i could see it just fine

weird. i couldn't.

There's a place to fiddle with that in preferences.

Err, I just looked to say where but now I can't find it.  There used to be a place to fiddle with this in preferences or whatever.  Maybe that was before the change/crash/whatnot and now whatever you picked back then is set forever.

That'd rule.

yeah, man!  the "party at rob's house" is SO GOOD!!!!  what's the original pressing like/on?  i have two copies of that record, but the only difference i've noticed ( i haven't looked too closely at them ) is that the sleeves are different color and i think one of the recs is on white vinyl.  

[Killdozersnakeboy]

Not too sure what the actual scum stats are. But I'm pretty sure there was only one pressing of 500 or so on Rob's House records. It was later reissued on another label, can't remember which off the top of my head.

Over the last two or three weeks:







Suishou No Fune "The Shining Star" (cd)
LSD March "Constellation Of Tragedy" (cd)
Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words "Fall, Fall, Falling" (cd)
Magik Markers "Boss" (cd)
Slow Six "Nor'easter" (cd)
Vikki Jackman "Of Beauty Reminiscing" (cd)
A Broken Consort "Box of Birch" (cd - 2nd ed.)

A Broken Consort, Magik Markers and Slow Six are top 10 contenders for this year. A Broken Consort (a.k.a. Richard Skelton) delivers a beautiful multi-layered work of accordion drones, strings, etc that makes your living room come alive. I cannot recommend this release enough if you’re into ambient/drones/etc. Can only be bought through his website. Nice detail is the fact that your name will be typed down on the sleeve and insert which makes the (already gorgeously packaged) album even more personal. Only a couple more left before this 2nd edition of 100 is out of print.

The Magik Markers album is way different from their earlier stuff, but very, very good. Slow Six is like Steve Reich, Rachel’s and a whole lot of other goodness all put together. At first listen it's good, but you need a couple of spins to really get under the surface of the music. It sounds both traditional and radically new at the same time. Released on New Albion, that says it all I guess. Here’s a nice YouTube video.

Vikki Jackman’s album was released last year on vinyl, but now Andrew Chalk’s Faraway Press has reissued it on cd. If you're into William Basinski then you should definitely pick this one up. Minimal piano notes, very fragile and elegant, shrouded in a fog of melancholic drones. This is quite possibly the most beautiful album I’ve come across this year.


I also got the following for my birthday:

Angels of Light "We Are Him (cd)
Yo La Tengo "Summer Sun" (cd)

The Yo La Tengo album, obviously, is pretty awesome. I knew that already, but what I didn't know was the amazing line-up of guest artists that's listed in the liner notes. Sabir Mateen, Daniel Carter, William Parker, etc. Holy crap! And also Paul Niehaus on steel, can't go wrong with him.

Oh yeah, and I also bought a Magnolia Electric Co. medallion (which also came with a couple of cds) and pretty much all the Elephant Micah albums I could get my hands on through his own website, including Loud Guitars and Palmyra Palm. The only real big hole in my collection now is Agrarian Malaise.

Holy fucking shit Scott! What a stash!

[monkeypants]

So I haven't bought any music in a coon's age (damn you, poverty!), but I broke bad today and hit up the library sale for some cheap rekkids.  These are all on vinyl and were $1.75 each.  The first four are to replace my old cassettes and "Mister Heartbreak" is to replace my *other* vinyl copy which is a bit warped.  Otherwise these are all new to me.  Here goes:

R.E.M. - Murmur
The Housemartins - London 0, Hull 4
The Reivers - Saturday (it looks like someone's cat shredded the spine, but the record's in fine shape)
The Godfathers - Birth, School, Work, Death
Laurie Anderson - Mister Heartbreak
Laurie Anderson - O Superman 12"
Trio - Da Da Da 12"
M - New York, London, Paris, Munich
Hoodoo Gurus - Blow Your Cool
Katrina And The Waves - s/t
Go-Betweens - Tallulah
Augustus Pablo - King David's Melody
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Too-Rye-Ay
Van Morrison - St. Dominic's Preview
The Band - Music From Big Pink
Sauter-Finegan Orchestra - Inside Sauter-Finegan

I got that last one exclusively for the super-snazzy Jim Flora cover artwork.  I'm probably going to have it framed or plak-mounted so I can hang it on my wall.

Also, John Linnell's "State Songs" on CD.  It was four bucks but, alas, came with no liner booklet.

 "St. Dominic's Preview" is on the turntabe right now.  It sounds good.

[mabel]

Peals Before Swine - Balaklava (original ESP-Disk with the insert, in, seriously, mint condition and for less than a used reissue would generally set me back.  happy.)

James Baldwin - Black Man in America, Credo 1 (Mr. Baldwin interviewed by Studs Terkel)

The Hammered Dulicimer Played by Chet Parker (Folkways FA 2381, 1966.  With "Desciptive Notes" in the motherfuckin' house.  It looks as if I am the first person to even set eyes on this thing.  Probably the first thing i'll throw on when i get home.)

and last but certainly not least...

Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith (probably the second thing i'll throw on tonight)

[auto-da-fey]

James Baldwin - Black Man in America, Credo 1 (Mr. Baldwin interviewed by Studs Terkel)

That sounds awesome. Baldwin is one of my favorite writers ever.

Thanks to your boosting of him and posting of YSIs here, I've totally joined the Reatard-is-Genius cult. I don't have anything except some stuff I downloaded yet, but I plan to change that what I get the chance.

[Killdozersnakeboy]

Yep, the dude's cool as fuck. Check out http://jayreatard.blogspot.com/ for some mp3s of live/demo/unreleased stuff. I urge you to go the Only Queers Play Acoustic Guitars post. Unreleased poppy acoustic song called "Wounded" is fantastic.
