scott,

i hear living on islands is expensive. some guy i met from a fishing island in alaska said artichoke costs 5$ on an island. is that true? is it easier to get stoned all the time when you live on an island?

i have that david ruffin lp

no, wait, its the tom brock one i have.

i have a david ruffin best of cd

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 16 June 2005 03:55 (nineteen years ago) link

vahid, it is supercrazyexpensive here. food, gas, everything. gas is like 3 dollars a gallon. i think it's cheaper on the mainland. the supermarkets are out of hand. and they suck. everyone just goes off island if they have to buy lots of stuff. so, walmart ends up getting a lot of island money. i shop at the cheapest grocery store in town, and the prices would still probably make your eyes bug out. we get our milk delivered by the milkman. we think this saves us money. we always forget to check. it tastes better anyway, straight from the dairy. um, but the dairy is off-island too.

Yes, yes i do. It's okay. Xian Hippy Rock. For forgotten Cali jamz i prefer Gypsy. (the aum album is one i've owned for years, but i hardly ever play it. you know?)

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 10:24 (eighteen years ago) link

word. just saw it on a wall for 20 bones. figured it was too much, and couldn't find that much info online about it. all the googles turned up the Japanese cult.

when i saw it, i actually thought it was that Ars Nova record. the covers and the weird frilly font look kinda similar.

Ars Nova. NYC was not the place for psychedelia w/ the exception of the Silver Apples was it?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:13 (eighteen years ago) link

There are two AUM albums. That one is the bad one.

Their first album was on Decca and is actually pretty good. Contains the great "You Better Run (But You Sure Can't Hide)" which was covered nicely by Vermonster.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I have never heard the first Aum album. I like that Ars Nova album okay. I never play THAT record much either though. Cheap Elektra album that is actually pretty good: Mephistopheles.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Since we're on the subject, has anyone heard ASHKAN???

http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4009243270

I'd never heard of them before until I saw the CD on the DustyGrove site, but when I asked them to reserve it for me, they said they couldn't find it! The cover looks great.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:24 (eighteen years ago) link

hey, do you guys like good mellow folk/psych?

i'm telling you, this album is really really good and it sells for peanuts: http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4074321501

get it before mojo writes about it. i don't think it's on cd.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:44 (eighteen years ago) link

there was one bid for that copy. i'm telling you, it's totally on the down-low how good it is. i almost like it as much as my beloved chrysalis album that is finally on cd.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

scott steward, you are a premium dude.

― Blakkaw! (Adrian Langston), Friday, 23 September 2005 22:25 (eighteen years ago) link

scott seward's ok too i guess

skot. i relistened to that Groundhogs album. i completely change my mind. it's pretty fucking rad. i musta been in a bad mood when i listened to it.

do you still love me?

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 24 October 2005 05:24 (eighteen years ago) link

iz okay, i understand. you do own a copy of split, no?

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 24 October 2005 12:13 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't have Split, but the cover is fucking fantastic

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 24 October 2005 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i love that cover too. i only have an american copy though, which has a completely different cover.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 24 October 2005 19:11 (eighteen years ago) link

two months pass...

skott, you know anything about the band Progress? album "busy making progress"? i saw it in the shop yesterday and they thank George Harrison, Dylan, Santana and Alice Coltrane. i think i read somewhere that it has something to do w/krishnas, but dunno. it's got a great cover, but it's from 78, so i dunno.

― calderdale in the 70s (gareth), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:18 (eighteen years ago) link

it looks cool! i would buy it unheard at the record store if it were 7 dollars or cheaper. i don't know if i would pay 20 for it unless i heard some raves about it. i have a 70's krisna album that george harrison produced and paid for, but it's just chanting and shit. on the sufi choir album i have they thanks tons of people like that too. free jazz people, rock people, it's a cool list.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi, Gareth!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Gareth did you ever get to hear the last Go-Kart Mozart record by my hero Lawrence? I have to transcribe the lyrics to my fave song on it. They are a hoot, and i couldn't find them on the internet.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:39 (eighteen years ago) link

i have a sufi choir album (the one w/them on the boat on the cover). it's weird. every once in a while i think it's terrible and then every once in a while i think it's good. it's soooo very seventies. just wish the singing was better.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:41 (eighteen years ago) link

what about Fever Tree "Creation"

http://www.gosupercool.com/ebay/creation.jpg

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i would buy that fever tree if i saw it. i dig them. or at least i like the first two albums. i have never heard creation.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:48 (eighteen years ago) link

scott, you made me a mixtape of metal in response to "who should be doing better than the darkness." i enjoyed it, but none of it was foxy. do you like any foxy metal?

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:50 (eighteen years ago) link

like hair metal, you mean?

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:56 (eighteen years ago) link

well, i call it pop-metal. but yeah, stuff that paul stanley could do his little dance to.

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:57 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i like all that stuff. i like diamond rexx. i used to give the weird stuff i found to chuck. i've still got a stack of good 80's stuff though.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 6 January 2006 00:00 (eighteen years ago) link

SCOTT WOULD YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT 'JUST DROPPED IN TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION IS IN' IS A COOL 45?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 6 January 2006 00:30 (eighteen years ago) link

it's amazingly cool. the coolest thing on the album it's on by a long shot. it's really out of place on the album.

there was a period a few months back when everytime I got drunk (which is fairly often obv) I found myself putting on Lep's On Through The Night. Damn that record is great.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:00 (eighteen years ago) link

i've seen it for sale in stores before, but i've always passed it up cuz it was always over 20 bucks and i never thought it looked like anything that i should spend that much on. but i've been wrong before!

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, it kind has a 'hmmm..' look to it. always so tough to tell. But it has an 8 minute song, that could be a positive! I wouldn't buy it at that dude's price, was just wondering what you knew..

I need to sell a bunch of records, man. I can't believe some of the prices on there. Mountain Goats tapes go for like over $100?? who knew? I'm always lazy about listing though. there should be a rolling eBay thread to discus stuff. I need to know the stuff I should be selling.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:25 (eighteen years ago) link

ebay is really glutted. too much stuff. it's a buyers market. i've done okay on some stuff though. i made good money on pretty common guided by voices vinyl on ebay. their fans don't mind paying. meanwhile, you can't give Fall records away.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 8 January 2006 01:43 (eighteen years ago) link

you can't give Fall records away.

If they're looking for a home...

scott im really jealous you saw the shadow ring live, please tell us what their shows were like, ty

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Sunday, 8 January 2006 23:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Scott,

Peanut Butter Conspiracy vs. Jefferson Airplane

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 16 January 2006 02:30 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm not scott seward, but PBC pwns airplane so hard it hurts

― danielle the animal steel (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 16 January 2006 03:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I DEEPLY LOVELOVELOVE the first two PBC records. I think they are just fabulous in many ways. I have never heard the third album. I would see it on ebay from time to time, but i never took the plunge. I am someone who always liked the airplane, but never really dug in to the the records, you know? this has changed over the last couple of years. i am digging those records more and more. i was always a great society fan and a fan of the first grace-less airplane record, and surrealistic pillow is, of, course, one of those hard to deny "classics". white rabbit being a fave of mine since i was a kid and same with embryonic journey. but now i am a full-on baxters and volunteers fan, for real. a similar thing happened to me in the last couple of years with the byrds too. i have been enjoying the byrds in a BIG way since moving to MVI. I mean, i had byrds albums when i was 10 years old, but i never LOVED them. now i do.

i still wanna hear that 3rd peanut butter album though! it can't be as bad as the 3rd ultimate spinach record, right? (i never understood the spinach haterz! it's a psych snob rule of thumb to dismiss those records, but i have always loved them so - the first 2 . they are sublime and wacky and prog and arty and acid-drenched, and the arrangements are great. who cares if they were phoney baloneys!!??)

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 16 January 2006 04:01 (eighteen years ago) link

i have always really liked jorma and jack. i enjoy hot tuna a great deal. so much fun to listen to.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 16 January 2006 04:03 (eighteen years ago) link

ugh. more bad revisionism. JA freakin rools.

I always get Peanut Butter Conspiracy mixed up with Pacific Gas & Electric. one of the things that rocks about Kogan is his JA luv.

Skot I'm so happy to hear that yr Byrd love is growing! you might become a full-on Byrdmaniac just yet!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 16 January 2006 04:21 (eighteen years ago) link

the first Hot Tuna album is great, although I've never heard any of the later ones. they do "How Long How Long Blues" on that first one right? you just know Jorma was a big Scrapper Blackwell fan. all the cool kids were.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 16 January 2006 04:22 (eighteen years ago) link

peanut butter conspiracy were great, stormy! primo west coast pop psych with gorgeous harmonies and awesome playing.

you need more tuna than that too! all the early stuff is great. the live stuff is great as well. electric, acoustic, i like it all.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 16 January 2006 04:27 (eighteen years ago) link

ugh. more bad revisionism.

no revisionism, just a preference.

― danielle the animal steel (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 16 January 2006 04:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i never really liked JA that much.
