Billy Childish & the Musicians of the British Empire - Loray Head/It Should Be Me 7"

got "Extrapolation" the first John McLaughlin solo album.

man so great, most "tradish" thing I've heard him on, but still very unique and creative, might like it better than Mahavishnu era

I got that bootish looking comp of early GG Allin stuff. Some really great tracks and surprisingly poppy and, uh, happy sounding. Especially on the track '1980's Rock and Roll'. He's like “Come on along it’s a rock and roll party / Bring all your friends and don’t be tardy!". He uses the word Tardy! No raping or butts or scum or anything. Well, not right off the bat. And Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson played with the band. I had no idea.

I also found a cheap but slightly popping Maui Album by Merrel Fankhauser and a stack of mystery Lebanese 7"s from the 1970s. Some cool bongo and strings instrumentals.

ohhhhhhh MAUI rules. "i saw yr photograph" is so so so so beautiful.

couple new things:
strokes - is this it YESYES YES
golden triangle 7-song 12" which im not sure is very different from the 6-song 12" i bought last week
v/a - ten years of black country religion (for ian)
nite jewel 12" on IDIB (for pretzel walrus)
mark sultan sub pop 7"
gaunt - kryptonite
peter walker - rainy day raga (pretty good price for a beautiful copy of a rad record)

just preordered the new YYYs LP which comes w/ a free 7" single

gaunt - kryptonite

^^such a great album and underappreciated band

Stuff I got recently:

product - style wars LP (the 1st album on Clay Records - Discharge, GBH etc)
milky wimpshake - one good use for my heart 7"
va - 4 track 4 track 7" (slampt)
dorotea - it's happening again 7"
betty & the werewolves - david cassidy 7"
betty & the werewolves - euston station 7"
school - all I wanna do 7"
more fiends - yo asphalt head LP
passmore sisters - first love, last rites LP
squeeze - packet of three 7" (1st single pre-A&M, bit punky!)

found good stuff cheap at some land-that-time-forgot brooklyn storefront on saturday

roxy music - manifesto
b52s - party mix
maurice - this is acid 12"
toto the one w/ "georgy porgy"
bohannon - the beat 12"
grass roots - 16 greatest hits
mc shan - the bridge 12" (not even that scratchy!)
some mantronix produced pop record on sleeping bag with a good dub version (not feeling the vocal)

^^^ all that for 20 bucks. which I really I woulda coughed up a 20 just for "the bridge" and "this is acid" so the rest wuz gravy.

does that this is acid 12" have the version w and w/o synths?

or yknow the MAIN synth line

got recently:

thee oh sees - help lp
eddie & ernie - turn here 7"
unwound - new plastic ideas lp

oh i cant wait to see thee oh sees on thursday and get that!

does that this is acid 12" have the version w and w/o synths?

yeah it has three versions and one is the well-known one (er at least, the one i knew. and the one I think you're talking abt)

the versions i know are from the trax box (w synths) and the soul jazz acid comp (w/o synths)

yeah this 12" is like, Trax version on side A and U.K. version plus "dream dub" on side B

eddie & ernie - turn here 7"

i saw that the other day and kinda remembered who they are; is the seven inch good?

i've only listened to it through twice but i like it. kinda upbeat/melancholy r&b from 1965 or so. i'm really pining more for the track on one of those dave godin soul comps called "I Believe She Will" but that single seems harder (read: more $$) to come by. absolutely love that song though.

goddamnit

who is city worker anyway

who is city worker anyway

maybe he's the guy you will copy it for as he's been looking for it too. you have to admit though, it was a good guess.

oh dogg no worries i got you on that tape shit -- ill throw AKWAABA on the b-side and blow ya whole mind

akwaaba is real nice - there's another bebey lp that i can't remember that's super too. it's way less polyrhythmic, but have you heard richard crandell's mriba stuff 69? real nice.

found bo grumpus rekkerd for a quarter yesterday

i havent! ive been interested in more f bebey, too, but havent been sure which to go for...

will try to find out what the bebey record is. it was much in the same vein. i get a little lost with that kind of thing, like hearing vocal or chant records, where there are so many that you could dedicate forever to them, but the bebey ones are nice and spiky and warm sounding.

richard crandell's the first song on this; i don't really have a frame of reference for it beyond minimalist composers etc but it's really hypnotic. and it makes you want to go buy a mriba.

has anyone gotten the van morrison vinyl reissues? if so do they sound great?

i think they were pressed at RTI so probably

some of my fave group vocal records of recent years:

southern journeys: all day singing from the sacrd harp
ethnic folkways: psalms sung in the cameroons

pretzel walrus (or his gf not sure which) has the astral weeks reissue, and it sounds awesome

oooh ill have to look for that ethnic folkways rec

i think i like the sacred harp record a bit better fwiw.
but i am not an africanophile.

(and i am sort of a southeastern us fetishist.)

ive heard the sacred harp record (on CD, was there an LP pressed? (LOL annoying question)), and totally love it

this is the VINYL THREAD pete.
if it was the CD thread i probably would have talked about the doo wop box i just put on my computerz. makes the bitches swoon i hear.

ahhhhhh i was thinking of the southern folk heritage series! whoa more stuff to get

SO MANY RECORDS SO LITTLE TIME.

NO TIME

in ref to above q: gf does have vm aw sounds a+

NO TIME 2 TYPE

too young to shave

this is my favourite vocal thing. there's the run of stores on maybe fifth and second that have all these enchanting looking folkways kinda TYPICAL KORA MUSIC OF NORTH JAPAN type releases that always look amazing but i wonder if i'd listen to again and again. interesting recommendations anyhow.

yeah im easing into ethnic folkways and explorer series so far, just picking up stuff ive heard about, or which sound up my alley. im sure in six months, ill kick myself for not picking up every eastern european folk-ballad LP while i had the chance :\ such is the curse of being a world-music doofus

i went through a phase of collecting lots of ethnic field recordings, and i still pick up certain things. but i eertainly have way more santur music LPs than I need. Fave labels are def Ocora, Lyrichord, Nonesuch, Ethnic Folkways & the Unesco Collection.

Some other fave ethnic folkways: Music of Mozambique; The Waswahili of Lamu, Kenya (three vol. series); Tribal Music of Australia. There's a series of Tibetan recordings on um, the Unesco label i think, that have some real gems. Epic, dense singing bowl/shawm/percussion drones.

Fave nonesuch LPs: Golden Rain (Balinese Gamelan); Voice of One Thousand Colors (Indian LP featuring the sarangi); and I forget the speecific title, but there's a v good LP of South Indian Carnatic vocal music.
