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.

were I nearer my LPs I could probably add more. I have a few Bulgarian Nonesuch LPs that are great.

Went shopping specifically for vinyl for the first time in awhile:

Land of the Loops - Multi-Family Garage Sale/Rotate 7"
Kerosene 454 - Two for Flinching 7"
Mecca Normal - Armchairs Fit Through Doorways 7"
Dau Straun - Dragged Down/Poe Road (live) 7"
Mason Proffit - Wanted!
The Incredible String Band - Liquid Acrobat As Regards the Air
The Incredible String Band - Relics
Gary Numan - Telekon
Sessions II (haven't listened to this yet, but it seems to be some synth-loaded fusion thing that features a bunch of session guys like Ritenour & Grusin - the cover art was too fantastic to pass up)

Jean-Michel Jarre - Magnetic Fields

anybody else excited about drag city's george-edwards group reissue? never heard the original, but drag city has been on a reissue roll with private press-y obscuro stuff, like J.T. IV and death...

don't know george edwards...how is that Death? i've been hearing BIG TALK about it

its really really good. sounds like alice cooper-y detroit rock -- good songs, snarly, good guitars. worth getting, for sure.

kurt vile LP on mexican summer

this week i got, off the top of my head:
soul stirrers vol. 1
zachary cale - walking papers
skullflower on NNF
v/a louisiana cajun music: the first recordings
sun ra - sleeping beauty (mega-rare late seventies Saturn in playable shape.)

kurt vile LP on mexican summer

how is that
sleep said he's playing in nyc this weekend, I have not heard of

the couple songs I've heard off of Death (from Leo thread) are awesome. there was a big story about them in NYT arts a couple weeks ago

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/15/arts/music/15rubi.html

also just made a good deal to buy these from a local dude, i just wanted the blank dogs but he'll give me all these for 10 total so what the they, sounds like interesting stuff:

blank dogs - the fields
john weise - soft punk
sir richard bishop - polytheistic fragments

The Richard Bishop lp is grate.

ian what does that sun ra sound like? i just jammed ASTRO BLACK this morning

i like the mex summer kurt vile LP. it's kinda spacey/raga folk with ambient swooshes and some electric touches. indie?
the new one on woodsist is also good.

pete: "Sleeping Beauty" is nice. I've only listened to it once so far, but it was laid back & groove-oriented overall, one of the tracks had group vocals that were along the usual lines...

whenever i see original saturns under like $50 i think it's a good idea to pick them up, unless the condition is really bad. (will buy scratchy saturns, but will only go so far.)

went to book sale and it was a nitemare with kids and too little room and big smelly people all over me in cavernous basement and then i found the video cart and everything was free on it and we had fun looking for kid videos and stuff and then i noticed that on the video cart were exactly FIVE records. all in excellent minty shape. all original u.k. pressings. they were:

laibach - s/t (with insert)

current 93 - looney runes (with poster)

current 93 - swastikas for noddy

death in june - nada!

death in june/current 93 - split lp
