Joy Division - Still (bought that ridiculously expensive Rhino reissue from a couple years back, but I had $20 in store credit so said fuck it)

i knew someone who had this and i always kinda wanted one, but i never wanted to shell out for one:

http://www.popsike.com/JOY-DIVISION-Still-RARE-1st-run-UK-81-2xLP-cloth/360183192075.html

for sexiness though its hard to beat a first press japanese promo:

Thee Oh Sees - Help
Kurt Vile - Constant Hitmaker
Washed Out - Life Of Leisure ep
Iggy Pop - Lust For Life reissue

skot yr first pic didn't show up cuz i think you linked the original html page and not the .jpg but:

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20090825/360183192075.jpg

and yeah this is basically what that recent reish is, cloth-bound, with the tassle and so on. Really ridiculous, sticker was $48 bucks. But, like I say I had the 20 in credit, which made it more acceptable. and it *is* a pretty beautiful object..

totally open to recommendations for this sort of thing btw.

how bout Phenomenal Handclap Band? saw them earlier tonight at the bowling alley and they were pretty sweet. they were actually more rock than I expected, some of their shit sounded like the Doobie Bros. I was down.

I guess it's debatable how much they are "this sort of thing" compared to Real Life Is No Cool but it's in the ballpark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye1ywnVS9Nw

my coworker told me about them a few months ago -- are they cool?

I thought they were pretty cool, yeah! They're kinda hard to get a handle on. The first track I heard by them was "Baby," total neo-retro-soul, could be on Daptone records (somebody in Phenomenal Handclap is in Antibalas I think, or in that scene). Then I heard "You'll Disappear" which is waaaaay different, slicker nu-disco track that got the 15-minute Prins Thomas Remiks treatment ...

Live they were somewhere between those 2 extremes, groovy beardo rock with fuzz guitar and the occasional spacey disco synth arpeg. thrown on top. Haven't heard the whole LP yet but now I want to.

salvation army $1 bin wins again!

Yello - One Second
Cabaret Voltaire - The Crackdown
Cabaret Voltaire - Code
Pay It All Back Vol. 1 - On-U sound comp

took a lot of Tijuana brass sifting, but worth it

all sealed btw? yay weird dude who bought these and just decided to look at them

will not be sealed in about 45 minutes

been after that Pay It All Back comp for a while. good find!

"Bedward The Flying Preacher" off PIAB vol.1 is one of my favourite things ever. Poor fellow. That's such a good record.

Herbie Hancock - Perfect Machine

Nina Rota - Satyricon OST

recently:

Retribution Gospel Choir - 2 (gorgeous cover, packaging...embossed printing is so CLASSY)

Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies (the last "good" alice i didn't have, GRATE condition billfold cover with pristine fake billion dollar bill poster and all...only $10!)

Francois Kervorkian feat. Jah Wobble, the Edge, and Holgar Czukay - this is so weird...it's kinda like...man Japan if they were a 80s dance band mixed with work music and post punk? or SOMETHING? One song written by Arthur Russell

Clipd Beaks - To Realize - if you are big on the Liars you will like this band, really fucking great stuff....on Lovepump United

George Russell - The Outer View - love this fucking guy, what jazz composer, found a great sealed new reissue of this in the bargain bin for 6.99!

Yoko Ono - Walking on Thin Ice 12"

is this hard to find? i haven't seen it around but want want want

i think ian might dig a lot of the stuff on smalltown supersound. the 'on fire' and 'sunkissed' comps are both pretty excellent (idk how enticing the prospect of a remixed sunburned hand of the man track is to you dudes, but that track is ace imo). also the new prins thomas kinda nails the krautier side of this stuff

Also, just got that In A Cloud compilation in the mail the other day -- so great! Thanks 69 for mentioning it here, which brought it to my attention.

this is all ian needs:
