bought some records off ilxor altair noveau/chinavision before he moves to new york next week.

raven kane & klaus netzle - silicon valley. hella weird album. nice cosmic synth music, but the chick sounds like barbara streisand or she's part of the cast of the lion king.

hey ian, does your STRIDULUM skitter a little bit on your lil numark? it seems like mine has some shallow grooves or a couple skippy patches. im sure itll be fine when i can add some tonearm weight, but curious if this is a pressing issue.

if you're watching this altair... why do you have so many damn copies of 'dare'??

he said he was gonna wallpaper his room w/it one time

i used to have a suitemate in college who wallpapered his room with playing cards. it was by far the gheyest shit id ever seen.

i met a dude in chicago that put equally spaced ping pong ball halves on his bedroom wall in a grid. it looked kinda pimp

Since getting a regular paycheck for the first time in a few years, I've been splurging a bit to make up for precious lost vinyl hoarding time. My latest haul:

All three Chris Rainbow full-lengths (scored one of them from some chump in BK selling it for $12!)
Circuit Rider s/t
Babe Ruth - Stealin' Home
Toe Fat - Two
Michael Head and the Strands - Magical World of the Strands

xpost AFAICT you can't totally go wrong with the dude. I guess I only have a scatter of like 5 or 6 albums between Seven Bridges Road and Switchblades Of Love ('93 or 94?) but I haven't found anything even hinting at dudness yet!

i got a lot of things this week.. i can't remember everything, prob. from memory:

flower traveling band - satori (original)
michael cacy - gathering (private folk-rock)
laura cantrell - when the roses bloom again
michael yonkers - lovely gold
ex & tom cora - scrabbling at the lock
eddy detroit - immortal gods

uhh, some more stuff too.

'Immortal Gods' is so great. I already have the CD but may just need to swap it out for that new reish

it's so affordable in comparison to an orig that i found it hard to resist.

wowsa, i'm assuming you got a pretty good deal on that original copy of 'satori'?

v.v. jealous of satori

the satori has some scuffs but plays pretty clean, surface noise between tracks kinda thing. luckily it's not a quiet LP and it's a good pressing. sounds better than the radioactive lp anyway. it was $50.

(but i worked 7 hrs on sunday and took records instead of money so..)

how did that come to the store? someone brought it in to sell?

yeah, this friend of Dave L's has a japanese father who happened to have two flower travelin' band LPs laying around the home. there was also a copy of Made in Japan but I think Erin has that one on hold.

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything

and will be picking up my copy of Loveless either tonight or tomorrow.

i'd say $50 for satori is a deal!

i've been curious about that ex & tom cora thing, are you guys liking it?

i havent been -- the ex is tedious IMO

oh so anyway other than that german house box and the section 25 album i got last night and the tom ardolino album i also got stuff by live skull (haven't had a copy of the pusherman ep in years), athletico spizz 80, elektrics, hammersmith, sandalwood, jack traylor and steelwind, philisteens, people's choice (moulton action), feedtime.

i really like the ex & tom cora!!

Michael Head and the Strands - Magical World of the Strands

<3 <3 <3 this and bravo on finding the LP

the only tom cora album i have is this one and i really like it a lot:
