ASK PETE

all my friends' kids are total classics

The upcoming NMH show sold out in less than ten minutes here, I think.
No one seems impressed that I saw them four times in the 90s.
But they don't seem to understand why I am not interested in seeing them now.

yeah they are playing at BAM, friend tried to get me to go, I was sliiiightly interested but decided not to go through the ridic procedure

I think she ended up refreshing browser 700 times and getting tix, so props

I did go see Olivia Tremor Control when they reunited and it was pretty great

sorry to junk up Pete's thread w/ Elephant 6 content

"Urban Outfitters turntable crowd."

Perfect, I've been looking for a way to describe that demo.

Ian, why don't you write a book on neat early folk and blues? I haven't looked much, but I'm sick of finding folk and blues books that don't just talk about the most well known names of the spectrum. I would love to read about the approach and history of all of that stuff. Is that a boring suggestion?

Olivia Tremor Control will always be great.

Hey Pete can you tell me anything about dawn records? http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Labels/dawn.htm Or can you recommend anything else like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmUpirKSf1k

i dont know a ton about dawn, but i can attest to this being great! in general, i love britjazz -- you know chris mcgregor's brotherhood of breath record? thats a killer in the same vein. i guess comus's first record is on dawn too! and a lot of mungo jerry.

ah! and now i see that these are different DAWNs. i dont know anything on that dawn. charlie rouse has a small but excellent body of work as a leader, and a LOT of work with monk. this sure looks good!

rouse's strata east record is one of favorites of the label

the jazzville records are good. that record by the 4 Most is kind of a dud and i love 50's vocal group jazz.

i love Seeco. the guy who started Dawn owned Seeco.

Dawn records aren't the most sought after jazz records, but they are really not easy to find.

Yeah I've seen most can be found under $50. I think I'm going to start collecting them. I'm really getting into 50's jazz especially if it boarders on thick easy listening vocal exotica. I love how the Les Jazz Modes song mixes the operatic vocals in!

So Seeco is a latin jazz label?

seeco put out tons of cool odd records. collect them all if you dare.

Hey Pete have you heard Pete La Roca's Turkish Women at the Bath? Is it a "different" sort of jazz record, worth tracking down? I noticed in a listing of exotica/outsider jazz records and wondered why they included it in the sells list.

i love that record!

ive never had that version, but i have/have had this bizarrely repackaged version: http://www.discogs.com/Chick-Corea-Bliss/release/1267813

once i get the OG (not actually too too hard or $$$ to find?) ill definitely hold on to it for life!

Happy Birthday Pete!! And Tyler too!
