What are you listening to? 2011

Jesus christ, Scott. Please tell me they weren't a quarter each.

Anyway, at work:
13th Floor Elevators - Bull of the Woods reissue
Claudio Gabis y La Pesada
v/a - Studio One Rockers
Geordie - Hope You Like It

Home:
Albert Crabtree - Cold Steel... Metal in the First Degree (the poor man's Roger C. Reale & Rue Morgue)
Die Kreuzen - s/t (awesome)
Michael Moorcock & the Deep Fix
NME - Unholy Death (also awesome but mostly I listen to awesome music so)
Il Balletto di Bronzo - Ys
Lugubrum - De Ware Hond
Sic Alps - Napa Asylum (up next, anyway, if I can stay awake long enough)

no, not a quarter, but pretty cheap for the most part. ESP thing and the Reichel album were the most i paid for anything. gonna sell the Reichel album though. i dig him a bunch, but he had weird impulses. that record is some sorta german country reggae pirate sea shanty thing and i don't really dig it.

Lucky man. The record market out here is kinda killing me, most of the stores in town think $9 is a good starting price point, regardless of condition... and so the book stores, antique stores, etc, all do the same. (Of course, one of those stores put that "Super Rock" box set by the Candy Rock Generation in their 50 cent bins, not to mention some cool heavy metal stuff.)

Pretty sure Reichel solo is supposed to not be so good, it's more the A.R. & Machines stuff... Erholung is the only one I've seen and it's pretty cool, kinda chilled out instrumental jazzy spacy rock.

Erholung is the only one I've seen on vinyl I mean.

echo, obviously, one of my favorite albums. years ago i paid 40 bucks for a copy and i kinda stunned myself because i NEVER paid that much for a record. or almost never.

okay, went to the shop in easthampton finally and got some stuff last night. great stuff there! if you are me.

the hot dogs - say what you mean (ardent - 1973) (more terry manning majik)

willie hutch - havin' a house party (motown - 1977)

dirty tricks - night man (polydor - 1976)

duke & the drivers - cruisin' (abc - 1975)

russell dashiell - elevator (epic - 1978)

danny hollen - s/t (tumbleweed - 1971)

gladstone - s/t (abc - 1972)

canyon - high mountain (columbia)

fishbaugh, fishbaugh, and zorn - s/t (cbs - 1972)

sir robert charles griggs - the legend of sir robert charles griggs (capitol - 1973)

feedtime - cooper s (rough trade - 1988)

christopher cloud - blown away (chelsea - 1973)

centaurus - s/t (azra - 1978)

arthur gee-whizz band - city cowboy (tumbleweed - 1972)

el chicano - viva tirado (kapp)

razmataz - for the first time (united artists)

l.a. getaway - s/t (atco - 1971)

clark-hutchinson - a=mh2 (sire/london - 1969) (clean u.s. pressing. didn't even know this came out in the states. couldn't pass it up for 20 bucks. now i have the cool 2xlp reissue thanks to ian and this copy. want to own all their albums eventually.)

mississippi - s/t (fantasy - 1973)

natchez trace - last time together (avenue - 1972) (this is beautiful. u.k. country rock. so mellow and pretty)

michael lessac - sleep faster, we need the pillow (columbia) (crazy dylan-esque 60's folk-rock. sounds like john hammond spent a zillion dollars on the production. god bless him.)

my three big finds for the month were:

steve drake band album on tiger lily (which sells for a ton but fuggit i'm keeping it its so cool)

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20060520/4883936491.jpg

the terry manning album which is godhead

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20081031/280281454717.jpg

AND the second scruggs brothers album on vanguard which is also godhead if you are me or if you love acid bluegrass rock like me.

scruggs brothers albums sooooooooooooooo slept on. if any two albums deserved deluxe 2xlp vinyl reissue treatment its those two.

centaurus album cover from 1978 looks like it could have come out yesterday on some hepcat doom label. even comes on clear vinyl.

http://www.popsike.com/pix/20090520/360156277866.jpg

plus it's rectangular

roxy music - avalon
bryan ferry - girls & boys
bryan ferry - bete noire
marianne faithfull - a secret life

yeah it does look funny like that. here's a better shot.

arthur gee album is so great. really happy to have a copy.

http://www.vinylsearcher.com/largeImages/20901336.jpg

I found some stuff in the stacks at the station last night
George Gerdes - Son of Obituary (WTF?)
Human Switchboard - Who's Landing in My Hangar? (Interesting. looked up some threads...very interesting)
Barbara Keith - s/t (sucks)
Sir Victor Uwaifo - Jackpot! (It is, too)

gary ogan & bill lamb – portland I love this record. Marlin Greene produced it! Kac has gone on a lot of my mixes.

Barbara Keith - s/t (sucks) Which Barbara Keith is this, her first or second album? Neither one sucks in my book, but I do like her second one better.

I don't know, it opens with a cover of All Along the Watchtower and that pretty much killed it for me.
I'm not really a Little Feat fan, either. I noticed their names all over the jacket.
Yeah, "sucks" is a total knee-jerk response, but I'm reviewing it for inclusion on my radio show and I have some standards, I guess.
I mean, the record actually sounds fine, but her voice wasn't really doing it for me, I guess.

Scott that Arthur Gee sleeve is incredible.
I will have to look for that one.

That's her second. The opener isn't the strongest song to start the record with, but The Bramble and The Rose is great.

i love barbara keith! plus, she is my neighbor and she and her husband are awesome.

MEANWHILE, this christopher cloud album is awesome and i look it up and christopher cloud is actually my hero Tommy Boyce!!! who knew? and the band he plays with on this is AIM and i love the aim album i have. this album rules!!!

http://www.recordsale.org/cdpix/c/christopher_cloud-blown_away.jpg

i love tommy's voice. totally a dead ringer for mark lindsay. my other hero. wait, i actually have three heroes. tommy boyce, mark lindsay, and drake levin. and arthur gee. okay, four heroes.

wait, tommy just mentioned doris day on this album and i'm remembering that terry melcher is my other hero. so, i have five heroes. tommy boyce, mark lindsay, drake levin, arthur gee, and terry.

and barbara keith's husband was terry's best friend growing up. he has great stories about him. for your information.

i can't believe how great this album is. i'm in love. didn't have a clue that it existed before last night.

tommy has mentioned mick jagger twice already on this album.

i love barbara keith! plus, she is my neighbor
Shit.
I knew this would happen.

lately:
Bill Callahan - Apocalypse
Bill Callahan - Woke On a Whaleheart
Smog - Forgotten Foundation
Smog - Sewn to the Sky
The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar

wau @ centaurus

would also like to hosanna this statement

the terry manning album which is godhead

"trashy dog" is like somebody decided to invent new wave in 1969

"gary ogan & bill lamb – portland I love this record."

everyone should love this record. "i wanna die" is all time for me. thanks, ivo watts-russell!!! i owe you a pint of ale!

when the beatles sing this I can't believe those chipmunks could break a hymen if they had a hammer and a stake but terry manning sounds like he's not only gonna remove yr underwear w/ his teeth he just might eat em too

THIS is the beatles cover to beat all beatles covers though:

the who - live at leeds
the who - quadrophenia
stevie wonder - songs in the key of life

lol work iTunes

Radiohead - The King of Limbs
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
School of Seven Bells - Disconnect From Desire
Sleigh Bells - Treats
Glasser - Ring

I wouldn't mind working there! My workplace has CDs sent from a head office who once censored the "Goddamn" in Sophie Ellis Bextor's Murder On The Dancefloor.

well this is the iTunes on my computer, which I listen to on headphones

back in the day of shared libraries I went a good 3 weeks allowing people to connect to my library before remembering that I had "Ass N Titties" by DJ Assault and "Fuck All Night" by Mocky on there

Bad Brains I Against I

the terry manning album which is godhead

Oh hell yeah! Is that Steve Drake album one of those deals where he sang over other people's songs?

Scott's posts make me realize I don't know shit about music. :)

Anyway, enjoying the new Low album at the moment. They can basically release the same album over and over and I'll be happy.

listening to some records i got for the store yesterday.

band of susans - hope against hope

primitons - happy all the time (80's jangle stuff. eh...)

roadsaw - rawk n' roll (double vinyl stoner stuff. what load by metallica would have sounded like if it had been good.)

mean season - grace (not my bag or whatever...)

def leppard - on through the night

krokus - metal rendez-vous (bought this when i was 12!)

krokus - pay it in metal

stone - s/t (the band metallica ripped off)

i can't live without it comp (90's stuff that i never listened to at the time or since. botch, merrimac, amber inn, closure, guyver-one, breakwater, milhouse, slow side down, bor, perilisium cantos, in/humanity, curll) (it's okay. not really my bag either. i'll bet my pal bull from policy of 3 and my pal don from ink & dagger were friends with all these bands. just a hunch.)

heavy pettin - s/t

trust - repression (this will sound xenophobic or something, but this isn't my fave trust album cuz the french language vocals are SO in your face and the guitars are buried a bit. i dunno, it's distracting for some reason.)

flotsam and jetsam - doomsday for the deceiver

nothing's quiet on the eastern front comp (this is more my speed. in fact i had to take it off or i would have ended up keeping it and i can't keep EVERYTHING cool, you know? assfactor 4, black army jacket, brutal truth, coercion, c.r., devoid of faith, disassociate, dropdead, eucharist, halfman, judas iscariot, monster x, suppression)

split lip - for the love of the wounded (definitely not my thing)

trash - burnin' rock

damien - every dog has its day

headpins - line of fire

oz - III warning

helstar - burning star

(got some testament and over kill vinyl and various R.E.M.-ish stuff along the lines of primitons: beat rodeo, bongos, eieio, lifeboat. probably spin some of that. just in case there is a jangle thing i missed that i might like. i guess bongos weren't jangle though. were they?)

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
Sonic Youth - Goo
Sonic Youth - Dirty

dig this band of susans album more than i thought i would. was never a huge fan or anything.

wish susan stenger had sung more in band of susans
