I like the first It's A Beautiful Day album especially. I don't own any of their records anymore. It's hard to find nice used copies. well, not HARD, i could buy them on ebay, but the ones i see around in thrift stores and such are always beat up. damn hippies. same with quicksilver records. And Lighthouse records! What the fuck were people doing with their Lighthouse albums!!?? I sold my copies at my ill-fated record store in Philly many moons ago.

Nope, never heard of it, jaxon. Jaxon, I'm very disappointed in your non-love for America Eats Its Young. So many great songs on that thing.

Yeah, I think I must have had the first two albums at one point or another when I was a teenager. And I was just thinking about how I haven't even seen copies of those in dollar bins in a while.

What do you know? A four star review of the first album on AMG. Surely, that was another hippie record that must have gotten one or two stars in the old Rolling Stone record guides.

re Little Boy Blues: they were a garage-y rock band that put out stuff like this http://www.garage45s.com/littleboyready.mp3

but then for this album they went all doomy organ psych with a bit of jazz and funk. if you listen to this track from diplo's psych/funk mix at 4:15 you can hear it. it's fucking massive.

"White Bird" is easily one of the best songs of the 60s... you gotta love that violin. I have this awesome Hot Tuna bootleg w/ Papa John Creach where they do this "Pretty As You Feel" that sounds ALMOST as awesome as "White Bird" but not quite.

So true about those covers too. It's like, every copy you would find of the first one would ALWAYS have the blue color flaking off leaving white splotches all over the place, so it looked like the lady was standing in snowstorm or sumthin. It took me forever to find a decent one. Same thing with Marrying Maiden -- all the open white space would always be all browned and dirt-laden and shit; took forever to find a nice sparkly white one

scott, so i'm record shopping today and i held in my hands an Eric Mercury album. forget the title, but i think it was from 73 and he was on a black background w/a silver helmet with wings on it.

i don't remember why i once wanted to buy this. i even had it scribbled on my list in my wallet.

i think it was on recommendation from you once, but can't remember.

so i put it back

help me out. did you recommend this?

jäxøñ (jaxon), Sunday, 25 June 2006 03:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I was actually gonna revive the skotrok thred myself because I've suddenly realized the absolute brilliance of the Delaney & Bonnie band. the one that Erik Klapton used for his first solo lp + D&Ds. Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, & Donnie Bramlett. That whole axis, when you work in George Harrison and Dave Mason --- kind of made some of like the best music ever for a year & a half period around 1970.

but I've never actually got into the Delaney & Bonnie stuff. I only know the Klapton/Mason/Harrison stuff. but I that Skot is the only person I can recall big upping the D&Bs. So, what do I need Skot? everything?? I'll probably buy it all anyway. I think you would like this stuff too, JaX! do you know "Only You Know & I know" ? that is one hell of a shit-hot cut.

Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:07 (eighteen years ago) link

i've got the Accept No Substitute album but it never warmed on me (i also probably had like 30 albums on my desktop i had to listen to and that one just got put to the side after half a listen)

jäxøñ (jaxon), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:09 (eighteen years ago) link

the shit is so great .. tho it kinda was the whole thougt/approach that codified "Classic rock" ... man, this band swung so hard, and the tunes were so great.

Fascinating one year period or so for all of the involved, things moved fast. The early "Tell The Truth" / "Roll It Over" single by the D&Ds totally sounds like punk at times.

Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:22 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i know that track. and i see that record every time i'm in a record store. silly me never actually thought about who he was and i always thought it was a solo record from nick mason of pink floyd. funny.

here's a track of Delanie & Bonnie's that's on the Country Got Soul comp. sounds like prime motown.

jäxøñ (jaxon), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:37 (eighteen years ago) link

oh yeah .. that's very nice! thanks, yeah, I will probably just end up picking up all of their early albums. You always see them for a buck or two anyway. I am prepared to take the plunge.

Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 25 June 2006 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

OK I've been eyeing D&B's Home and Get Ourselves Tpgether on Rhapsody for awhile, will listen next week.

The early "Tell The Truth" / "Roll It Over" single by the D&Ds totally sounds like punk at times YOU GOT THAT RITE BRO

this is where I can confess to liking Eric Clapton's s/t solo debut and Dave Mason's Alone Together. A lot.

m coleman (lovebug starski), Sunday, 25 June 2006 10:38 (eighteen years ago) link

you gotta figure any album titled *Funky Sounds Nurtured In The Fertile Soil Of Memphis That Smell Of Rock* is at least worth listening to once. and you would be right. i really like that album. funky and introspective. i don't know about his later stuff. i think the one you saw was later than 1973.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 25 June 2006 15:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, and I'm not a Delanie & Bonnie expert! I've had albums here and there, but I never gave them a lot of time. I should listen to whatever I have again.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 25 June 2006 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

scott, the reason i am not always listening to buckingham-nicks is cuz i don't own a copy! we had TWO copies at the store for a while, but then both sold within a few days of each other and i missed out.

the eunuchs, Cassim and Mustafa, who guarded Abdur Ali's harem (orion), Sunday, 25 June 2006 15:58 (eighteen years ago) link

such a great album. i like it as much as any fleetwood mac album with them on it. i only wish they had made five albums like that before joining FM.

Why are you so cool? When can you and your wife come to Miami?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 18 June 2007 02:02 (seventeen years ago) link

why am i being a dick? why do you want i love film to just sit there dead with one post a month? i think that's weirder than me wanting to have some fun and post some pictures. maybe some actual interest in the board will revive things. or maybe not. i really don't care. feel free to start your own threads! i always liked the idea of a movie, sorry, "film" board. till i saw what it was like and decided to stick with ile. you want to retain its purity or something? am i defiling a corpse?

alfred, if i'm cool it's because i'm not afraid to ask the HARD questions in the face of public disapproval!

and i don't know when we will make it to miami. i'm not against the idea. if i had my way it would be in winter though.

thanks,

bell_labs, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 18:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Hey Scott,

I like you. I liked your Agalloch review. I got the record and it's great and I know nothing about metal. Can I pay you to make me a mix cd?

scott, do you like NJ metal band Overlorde? tell me something about them.

sanskrit, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link

it really was a hoot to me when i was 12 or 13. along with doper dan, the freak brothers, fat freddy's cat, omaha the cat dancer, all those guys. flakey floont. mr natural. it didn't matter. i mean, if i would actually send away for doper dan comix i obviously would read anything. slow death. bizarre sex. hiroshima gen. weirdo. creepy. eerie. heavy metal. epic. i didn't care what it was. it was all weird and i wanted all weird. but i haven't read it in a zillion years and i almost can't believe that he still does it.

^^^ awesome post

and what, Thursday, 12 July 2007 19:02 (sixteen years ago) link

there may be aztec metal. it's possible. i am all for further myth exploration. all kinds. i wish there were metal bands that based their cosmos on african myths! and ancient egypt doesn't really count. or indian mythology. chinese mythology. so much to explore.

adam, by the time i made you a mix cd you would be old or dead. my advice would be to last fm it. i am ALWAYS hearing cool stuff on there. just type in agalloch as a tag. or funeral doom. or pagan metal. works like a charm. so much great stuff on there.

i don't think i've ever heard overlorde.

scott seward, Friday, 13 July 2007 12:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, Scott, thanks for talking up Agalloch on ILM. It made me DL their last few recs and I love them now.

Hey Scott

I was looking at a record by National Health, i think it's their first album..some kinda jazzy/proggy thing...are they good?? (it was $7 looked in decent shape)

M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 4 October 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Scott where is your ebay FUCK YOU FUCK YOU DIE thread. I would much like to read that again.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 4 October 2007 20:56 (sixteen years ago) link

i don't think national health were that great. it's been so long since i've heard one. probably worth five bucks anyway. i know i had one at one time years ago.

i don't remember the title of that ebay thread. this is my favorite ebay listing at the moment:

hey scott.
i almost bought you a copy of the first happy & artie traum record when i was in RI over the weekend, but i didn't have enough cash on me to get that AND the other crap i was getting. like a rosalie sorrels LP with a full band! i haven't listened to that yet. it was $4.

ian, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:18 (sixteen years ago) link

scott tell me what your favorite dollar bin R&B record is 1975-1985

deej, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:23 (sixteen years ago) link

rosalie iz my hero.

i didn't see this thread revive.

deej, there are so many. i could never pick one. sheesh. i'll give you a tip just in case you don't own them though: mid-70's temptations records are so hot. or i love them anyway. who the hell even knows who was in the group by then. anyway, *a song for you*, *house party*, and *wings of love* are records that i always play. and they are total dollar records. and everyone needs every shalamar record. and lots of fatback albums. and there are a lot of fatback albums. i love fatback. oh it's endless. if it looks funky and it's from the 70's and it's a dollar and it's in decent shape and you've never heard it, BUY IT. that's my motto.
