Rockaction's Mom (Pretty good, but needs to be careful with her teeth)

don cherry - complete communion
cedric im brooks - the light of saba
earth - living in the gleam of an unsheathed sword
cubismo grafico - mini
mountain goats - all hail west texas
the franciscan hobbies - walls are stuck
probably other stuff.

Momus - 'Otto Spooky' today.

And I want:

Jeans Team - Musik von Oden
Laurent Garnier - The Cloud Making Machine

feederz - ever feel like killing your boss CD
posies - flavor of the month 7"
perspex white out - you turn on my world 12"
raincoats - fairytale in the supermarket 7"
shitbirds - faster and shorter 5"

bats - block of wood 7"
alberto y lost trios paranoias - snuff rock 7"
holly & the italians - tell that girl to shut up 7"

haven't listened to all of them yet but some pretty amazing stuff!!

The last of those is an Andy Votel compiled LP of dark/acid folk obscurities from the early 70s. It takes off from where the first part of disc 2 of Saint Etienne's "The Trip" left off. It's patchy, to be honest, but with Linda Perhacs, Wendy & Bonnie and The Poppy Family all featuring, I'm certainly not complaining.

Warners/Rhino compilations including:Hallucinations and Come To The Sunshine (both comps of late '60s US pop-psych 45s, both delicious)
I want Come To The Sunshine but because it's a Rhino Handmade thing it's on the expensive side - HMV wanted £25 or something of that order for it!!

M83: before the dawn ... (the 2xLP version, couldn't bear not to have it on vinyl. my love for this album grows by the second)
M83: don't save us ... 12"
hood: outside closer (am looking forward to listening to this)
joanna newsom: the milk-eyed ... (i succumbed)
bonnie prince billy and matt thing: superwolf

the day before, from LTM:

section 25: so far DVD (was hoping to watch some tonight)
the wake: harmony (to replace the vinyl copy bob mills nabbed)

freebies in the last week:

doves: some cities (disappointingly doves-ish)
rilo kiley: more adventurous (inexcusably dire)

The Slits, Cut remastered
Black Strobe, Chemical Sweet Girl CD-EP
Death From Above 1979, You're A Woman I'm A Machine
that Bjork single with the Kelis version of "Oceania"
Alan Braxe/Fred Falke, "Rubicon" CD-single
Trax Records anniversary compilation
M83, Before the Dawn Heals Us

and online, Antena's Camino del Sol reissue, the Hollertronix Triple 5 Soul Sessions mix, and some downtempo stuff from Needlework. Hooray for higher-paying job.

FOPPsters check out these:
£3 - The Associates, Fourth Drawer Down (80s music which is actually GOOD for a change)
£3 - U Roy + Various, With a Flick of My Musical Wrist (typical Trojan comp., wonderful and irritatiing by turns, conclusive proof that, despite the close proximity of Cuba, Jamaicans can't do Hispanic accents)

Got this elsewhere:
£4.99 - Guided By Voices, Under the Bushes, Under the Stars (the last time indie guitar music was worth a fuck)

bushwick bill - 'little big man' and 'phantom of the rapra'

blackstreet - 'another level'

trick daddy - 'thug matrimony'

girls aloud - 'what will the neghbours say?'

Anyway, "(Maybe it's right to be nervous now)" by Magazine, for a tenner. Nice.

Low, 'I Could Live In Hope' - yes i finally have this, it's absolutely gorgeous. It's neat to hear how much Alan has grown as a singer, when compared to the Great Destroyer.

Azita, 'Life On the Fly' - really solid.

I don't like either album, to be honest. Bought both after I went to store specifically to get Devotchka, of which there was none, figured i'd get these instead ("rebound" purchasing is BAD news, never ever do this)...and am now dismayed by my lack of taste. Especially where Postal Service is concerned. I think I'm the last person to find out how annoying this album really is. It just makes me angry. ENOUGH WITH THE BEEPING!

plus some emusic stuff:
frank zappa, we're only in it for the money
booniay!! a compilation of west african funk
bill evans - at the village vanguard
opeth - morningrise
robert wyatt - rock bottom
sonny rollins - way out west
townes van zandt - live at the old quarter

soon arriving at the mailbox:
Tin Huey - Contents Dislodged During Shipment
Notekillers - Notekillers 1977-1981

hopefully will order Coon Creek Girls, Margaret Lewis, Honey Cone, Raw Southern Divas, Barbara Tucker, Homestead & Wolfe, etc etc, soon...mmm...

How is it? I have literally every record surrounding it, but I've always been turned off by the cover or something. How is it compared to Bitches Brew & Jack Johnson?

Solvent - Apples and Synthesizers
Kelis - Tasty
Dizzee Rascal - "Stand Up Tall" 12"
Massive Attack - selections from "Danny the Dog" 10" EP
this Out Hud 12"

How is it? I have literally every record surrounding it, but I've always been turned off by the cover or something. How is it compared to Bitches Brew & Jack Johnson? "

I think it's better than those two.

ordered, arriving soon:
Mogwai - Government Commissions
Dead Meadow - Feathers

All for less than £35, and first three were £6 in total. Great stuff, although I've only listened to one Bis, Dizzee and Boomkat so far.

the conet project (irdial) repress
diplo - florida (cos the martina topley-bird track on it is the shizzle)
lcd soundsystem s/t and "movement" single for no good reason
kerrier district s/t
i:cube - 3
business as usual mixed by brett johnson
versatile mixtape
philip jeck - 7
fabric 20 - john digweed
john tejada - logic memory center
khonnor - handwriting (which i really dislike. i do not get all of the critical praise and i don't know why i didn't download it first)
fennesz - venice

and on order: GRM Archive 5 CD box

All are a surprisingly a bit meandering but the first two in an interesting, touching, beautiful way.

M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us -> mm candy
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger -> it's the Loveless of black metal! kid you not

Yes!

today:
Basement Jaxx "Kish Kash"
Daft Punk "Daft Club"
Peter Gabriel "Passion"
King Crimson "USA"
Pet Shop Boys "Discography"
Rush "Moving Pictures"
The Who "Tommy"
Frank Zappa "Sheik Yerbouti"

Bill Ricchini - Ordinary Time
Stereolab - Instant 0 in the Universe
Jay Z - Hard Knock Life
Prayer Boat - Polichinelle
Pipas - Chunnel Autumnal

on its way(unless I got ripped): BIG TIME(movie) by TOM WAITS !!!!!!!!

This is fucking amazing. Morris on Banjo and Banjouke, Parker on zintir, and Drake entirely on frame drum. None of them play their standard instruments on this album, and the result is quite astounding.

I keep putting on Radiance right before I start doing laundry, and then the washing machine is so loud I never really get to hear it. I think it's good though.

We've gone indiepop crazy!

The only recordshop in my town is just plain torture: bad service and a very bad selection. From now on I'll order things. :-(

Tell me about it! Same thing here, but they also do things like charge 18.98 for Led Zeppelin 4. There's no way I'm paying that much for a CD I've heard 985467 times. I mean they even charge 12-13.98 for nice price shit!
Also they have an annoying habit of stocking outdated editions when there's been a reissue and clean versions, so you really have to watch what you buy! Not to mention the fact that the used CD bins only contain the lamest possible shit ever: Richard Marx, Invisible Touch-era Genesis (not one 70's Gen. CD in the whole store, mind you. Come to think of it, if a band has notoriously bad albums, they're more likely to stock those than the good ones in the new section. Live Coverdale-era Deep Purple but no "In Rock" or "Fireball", wtf.) and various crap so bad that no one has ever heard of it. Let's not even speak about the non pop/rock section...I feel like anything good I get there is has been stocked entirely by accident.
Main Street Music & Video in Willits this means you! You fucking suck, get one clue! I hope you google yourselves and see this, because hundreds of dollars of my money has gone to online retailers that you could have if you didn't let deaf monkeys run your inventory!
OK, I'm done I think.

I just got this and am only up to the second track. Cesar Pedroso is an x-member of Los Van Van, and this seems to continue in the vein of, say, Llego Van Van, though maybe more consistently upbeat, less talky, if that makes sense. I like the sound of the band, for the most part. I'm a hard sell when it comes to new (any?) Cuban music, but I think I'm going to like this.

When I first put this on, just now, it felt a little too much like being in Garland of Letters (local New Age bookstore), but this singing is pretty and interesting. Some of the programmed rhythm (I guess it's programmed) that comes in and out reminds me a bit of the sort of thing Jon Hassel would do.

A while back I directly ordered a couple Cooper-Moore CDs from hopscotch records since I never see them on sale anywhere, wondered to myself about whether they might not be on tour as I was ordering, and then sure enough saw a write-up in AAJ the folowing day about Asif Tsahar and Cooper-Moore being on tour in Europe. Ordered something else that I thought would be here by now.

Dark! (with some boring stretches). It's filed next to Pan Sonic, Autechre & Squarepusher CD's, make of that what you will.

The Parker might turn out to be too straight ahead for me, but hey, give it a chance you're only on track 3.

I was really getting into your oud mix today BTW.

The Parker is new. I think it probably sounds too much like jazz for me, though the first track is hard not to love. It should expand his audience among more traditional jazz listeners. I mean, that assumes that they get to hear it, but I think many of them will.

Good to hear about the oud mix. I have been trying not to nag people about whether they like things I've sent them and what their impressions are. (Also, I don't think that everything on there is necessarily going to hit a person on one listen.)

I ordered a couple Cooper-Moore CDs from Hopscotch Records at the beginning of last month, only to find that Cooper-Moore & Assif Tsahar were on tour. I have not gotten my CDs yet. I hope they get back soon or get organized or something.

on CD, a bundle of MP3s from Jack Cole and the new Josephine Foster album. i don't buy as many albums now that my ladyfriend quit work at the record store.

the new one Azure Vista, it's more like Ascend than the collaborations he's been doing. It's fantastic.

yeah totally true - bought that set a week ago and I'm working through at snail's pace...haven't even played much of the 3rd disc. I'm listening to it in 10-15 min stretches at the beginning of the day.

So far I'm really enjoying the orchestra and cantatas but not getting much out of the string quartets.

also got hold of stravinsky's 'right of spring'. reading adorno's arguments on this can be fun.

I think I need a few listens to decide whether I like Brazilian Girls or not, but there's sme good stuff on the compilation.

The songs themselves are great. I'm not crazy about al-Jundi's voice and singing, but it's acceptable. There are probably better performances around, but try finding them on anything other than cheap lo-fi cassettes.

somehow my local record stores have suddenly had '05 records i've been wanting all at once. or maybe that's just what i am telling myself to distract from the fact that i just spent all the money i did.
