i liked it at the time, but wasn't mad crazy for it. as a first entry into 'dub' it was a mis-step - i should've gotten something really twisted and all echoey and weird-noise-jumping-out-of-speakers like 'blackboard jungle' first, i might have 'gotten' dub a lot quicker.

anywayz got:

chris bell reissue

big star reissue

some album by stephen r. smith (have no idea. has a pretty cover. handmade linocut!)

renaissance - scheherazade and other stories

john renbourn - the lady and the unicorn

john renbourn group - the enchanted garden

rick stanley - song of life (some maharishi yogi folk thing)

gene clark - two sides to every story

jean ritchie - none but one

mississippi john hurt - last sessions

francoise hardy - francoise...........

herbie mann - windows opened (sonny sharrock power!)

red sparrowes - every red heart shines toward the sun

times new viking - dig yourself

you know, i was gonna by a mouthus album, but there are too many at the record store. does it matter which one i get? is it like a wolf eyes kinda thing? meaning, they are all kinda good in their way? there was one double album there with mouthus and the skygreen leopards and some other band, but i can't remember who. maybe i should buy that, since i've never heard skygreen leopards either.

black flag demos from '82 with chuck biscuits on drums.

i should really make a list of some of the stuff they have at the record store that looks interesting of the mouthus variety cuz i never know what's worth buying. is that alistair galbraith album on time lag really good? some record with two other guys? i'm assuming it was alastair.

oh, and mv & ee with the bummer road. still curious about them. and that double pelt album is kinda calling me... i like pelt.

this red sparrowes album is pretty good so far. i was afraid it was gonna be too godspeedy for me, and it is a little, but it's better.

sightings is unlistenable

i think they are. i can up a track or two if you want.

yeah thats about the vibe alright

whats the yellow swans on? digitalis? i think ive got that but havent listened enough...or maybe i have some split...

playing times new viking now. wow, what a time warp. if i close my eyes i can smell the khyber pass.

u guys heard this? Mobius & Plank "Rastakraut Pasta"? (sounds like proto basic channel to me)

skot, that's his classical stuff. First Thought Best Thought. it has the Instrumentals record (which i have an OG for but think it's super boring*) and Tower of Meaning. pretty minimal stuff.

* today i've just put all my AR related tracks into a random playlist and one of these songs came up and i actually kinda enjoyed it. surprising!

boy that new big star 3rd reissue sounds nice. i think that's like the 4th version of 3rd that i've owned. this will be my last one hopefully. that ryko cd sounded okay but it was always a little jarring the way they put it together what with whole lotta shakin' going on and stuff.

Yep, that's a classic. Moebius - Tonspuren is prob my second favorite after rastakrautpasta among all of the moebius/plank/roedelius/etc. stuff.
