Pleasure by Girls at Our Best arrived in the mail for me today. I haven't gotten a record in ages, I'm so happy with this!

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Friday, 27 February 2004 05:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Even if it hasn't got "Warm Girls" on it.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Friday, 27 February 2004 05:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I got that too! Plus Ennio Morricone w/help from Bruno Nicolai's "Moses" soundtrack

― Silly Sailor (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 29 February 2004 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

hey record fans the records records auction list is up

― ducklingmonster, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 05:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I got a weird Ronettes 45 in the mail with um "Tedesco and Pitman" on the A side and "Be My Baby" on the b side. Also there's a record waiting for me at the post office though I don't know what it is. I think it's gonna be 1999 by Prince.
It's funny, I've pretty much given up on RG! They have nothing now.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

thanx duckling (tho i'm not a records fan hur hur) - dy'know how much these things go for? coz if nobody I know has that mainly spaniards thing, I guess I'll try & bid on it (& THEN DIGITISE IT & SPREAD THE MP3S AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE TAKE THAT COLLEKTOR SKUM AHAHAHA ahem), plus um maybe the NRA things (only coz I have no idea what they sound like, + I'm guessing nobody else will), & there was a band called Feast Of Stevens! count me in!

― etc, Wednesday, 3 March 2004 01:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Some of the records in Roi's auctions go for ridiculous sums, tho maybe not so much this year as American fanatics don't have such fat dollars to bid with. Also from what I hear a bunch of them probably don't have jobs anymore. Ha ha!

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 02:43 (twenty-two years ago)

So whats' the deal with this auction?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 03:18 (twenty-two years ago)

um how ridiculous? like nz$80 ridiculous or nz$500 RIDICULOUS?

(um instead of buying cds I've been burning them, woo. hello blue nile, lotsa fall, lotsa microhouse/dancehall/soca)

― etc, Wednesday, 3 March 2004 03:19 (twenty-two years ago)

"tedesco/pitman" is the B-side

― duane, Wednesday, 3 March 2004 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Feast of Stevens were terrible?

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 05:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh right, the label must've been printed wrong on or something, it didn't really seem like it'd be the A-side! Yeah and the record was 1999, I got it now.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 05:52 (twenty-two years ago)

i think feast of stevens were terrible too but i can't remember if i ever even heard em. but you shouldnt care what i think , i think children's hour & NRA were terrible too. well nra were good a long time before they made any records & moved to ak & amalgamated with the "chooks" as i believe their many fans called them. but that was basically a totally different band, they started as a total gordons ripoff & were pretty good at that shit....mainly spaniards, they were ok, i sold that single 100000 years ago tho sorry

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Children's Hour. Dunno about NRA tho.

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

H sed NRA made 1 record before they moved to Akl, but they hadn't shortened their name to the acronym at that stage; what little I've heard of them sucked.

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I got Licenced to Ill by the Beastie Boys yesterday for pretty cheap. It's not in super condition but who cares.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Friday, 5 March 2004 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't listen to Children's House w/out laughing (but I can't listen to the stuff they rip off w/out laughing, too); I'm pretty sure NRA will suck but it'll probably be in an amusing way (for some reason I've decided that they were some sort of electro/Nun cross.)

― etc, Friday, 5 March 2004 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Pop Group 'For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder', Captain Beefheart 'Clear Spot', PG's pretty good so far, CB features 'Her Eyes are a Blue Million Miles' which I as an admitted English major think is one of the loveliest lines I've ever read. Hopefully it'll be an Ok song, too.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

It is, hooray

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Still can't get over my acquisition of a record by the artist Wayne King. It is the companion album to the one I own by the Gay Gordon.

― Menelaus Darcy (Menelaus Darcy), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 00:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Wayne King? You lie! Surely you lie!

― Minty (Minty), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I needed help with that one. REally no pennies were about to drop for a thousand years.

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 02:46 (twenty-two years ago)

It is no lie, and I will prove it at the next DCLMC. Anyone got a scanner so I can share the joy?

― Menelaus Darcy (Menelaus Darcy), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I got "Tusk" from Echo today, I hope it's good. Ol' Two-Tone was v.enthusiastic about it, that's a bit of a worry.

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 02:20 (twenty-two years ago)

hey, don't knock two-tone! hes the least objectionable of the echo staff. how much did you pay for it?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 06:50 (twenty-two years ago)

when I first read your post Minty, I thought it was a reference to Charles Pompous Windbag. I was worried for you too.

― Menelaus Darcy (Menelaus Darcy), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 06:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Tusk was $12. God help me if I ever end up asking Charles for record-shopping tips. Hahahaha! Just the thought makes me shudder.

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 07:59 (twenty-two years ago)

You should ask him, could be wildly funny. Ask him for his seductive music tips

― Menelaus Darcy (Menelaus Darcy), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Well then I can prob say I got the MBV "Tremolo Ep" then, and I'm happy too. I only need "You Made Me Realise" now! So have you listened to it? Isn't it GREAT?

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 19 March 2004 05:38 (twenty-two years ago)

So I got and HELD that Ep, and I bought Erase Errata's "At Crystal Palace" too.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 21 March 2004 12:03 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the cover, pretty great!

That links to the cover, not the whole thread

poison - look what the cat dragged in ($2!) and howlin' wolf - best of, vol. 1.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Saturday, 3 April 2004 06:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay fuck this, I just STOOD on my Queen 7" and it cracked. Grr I'm so annoyed, this has been such a bad few days for doing stupid shit.

― Livvie (Livvie), Saturday, 3 April 2004 10:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Temptations "Masterpiece", Miles Davis "Get Up w/It", both wonderful on first listen. Apparently Miles played uncredited organ/keyboards on a lot of his 70s stuff, and this is the only one he admits it or whatever on; he's the only organist named on what I'm listening to now ("Maiysha"), and it has that nasty/droney John Caley tone I like so much on "Jack Johnson" and "Bitches Brew", so maybe it was HIM all along. I hope so, that'd be pretty impressive.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 4 April 2004 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

He also sounds quite a lot like Irmin Schmidt from Can (tonewise at least), not as subtle/good (probably) tho

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 4 April 2004 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

andrew do you like "in a silent way"? that's the one i'm thinking of getting next.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Sunday, 4 April 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Haven't got it yet, I'd love it tho I'm sure. This one is severely odd, the opener "He Loved Him Madly" could easily pass for a Can/Eno thing, which is what everyone's always SAID about it but it's another thing entirely to have it be no exaggeration/wishfulness at all.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 April 2004 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to it again, I really can't quite believe it. Sounds like Stockhausen, too. Also this is the first Maceroproduced record where he really USES the tapes, cuts things off violently/unmusically for effect, esp (famously) 'Rated X' tho also that 'Maiysha' which I think has a nice funk thing overwritten by horrible noisy Miles organ.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 April 2004 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

("Uses" in accordance w/my ideas about using tapes, I mean)

― etc, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 09:14 (twenty-two years ago)

it's "the beat the rhyme the noise", 1989...great ttle track.
No other copies, I looked through everything.

The Smiths "Strangeways, Here We Come". And yesterday a Blue Nile 12" w/a couple of bsides.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 8 April 2004 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I love Strangeways! My favourite Smiths.
IS that "the downtown lights" Blue Nile?

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Thursday, 8 April 2004 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

"Stop Me" is so good. Great video too, have you seen it? Morrissey and bunch of kids done up as him (by choice, it looks like) bicycle around Manchester looking at suitably MORRISSEYISH crap, old RSAs and War Memorials, etc. Mark E. Smith likes to call him "Steven". Yeah it's "Downtaown Lights", the bsides are both good. The weird little noise/atmosphere thing was a surprise.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 9 April 2004 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

A nice one

i bought it and left it on a bus. :-(

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 12 April 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll tape it for you di!

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 12 April 2004 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

lets trade fall stuff! i could tape you "hex enduction hour" or "grotesque" or "live at the witch trials", i already taped you dragnet, right?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 12 April 2004 06:27 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah. i also have "bend sinister" and "this nation's saving grace," do you have either of those?

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 12 April 2004 07:29 (twenty-two years ago)

i was all "ooh, what's on that temptations album" but then just looked it up on AMG - what's their "i heard it through the grapevine" (haha typo "gravepine") like? how PSYCHEDELIC is it? i'm a huge huge fan of "law of the land" but that was from their later disco direction. & do you like much leroy burgess stuff? i'm sorta wanting to get the two anthologies of his stuff, plus maybe logg's logg & cloud one's atmosphere strut from the US - need more salsoul.

meanwhile i'm still too broke to buy anything (even the must-buy item RG have/had in the cheap bin, sigh). fukken flatmates not paying bills blah.

― etc, Monday, 12 April 2004 07:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I've only heard it once, but it's very diff from the Gaye version, which you don't know anyway, right? Interesting arrangement, then. As far as psychedelicicity goes I don't know, for soul/funk it's got a lot of echo and phasing and so on (and songs about drugs) but it mostly seems more like Motown and Norman Whitfield's go at that Sly/Curtis sound, if anything. A lot of "Cloud Nine" and "Masterpiece" is pretty straight soul, really. I've never heard any Leroy Burgess stuff. I think the next thing along these lines I'd like to find is prob some Philly/Gamble and Huff but I can't really be bothered looking too hard. What's Salsoul like? What was it RG had?

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 April 2004 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Like, an assemblyline style Motown act, not like Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder, tho they (Motown) might have done it or something aslike it as to make no odds already.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 April 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

The back cover of "Masterpiece" is quite funny, a huge portrait of Whitfield w/a ghostly white picture of the Temptations hovering on his forehead like a figment of his mighty producer's imagination. True enough, prob.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 April 2004 10:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Also on the last song, one of the guys describes the drug his character's pushing as "the bomb". Nice.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 April 2004 10:41 (twenty-two years ago)

NO THAT'S WHAT I'M LISTENING TO SORRY

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 16 April 2004 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

i've heard the gaye version a bunch of times thanks to the radio! in waiting rooms & so on! salsoul is . . . um . . . y'know, double exposure & stuff? can't find a good link, but this might do.

the thing RG had, but no longer does FUCK FUCK FUCK, was Disco Inferno's In Debt. tho new to that bin was The Complete Goblin Mix & The Exploding Budgies, so I grabbed that & an even cheaper NYC Ghosts & Flowers by some band that's gonna play here soon, woo.

― etc, Saturday, 17 April 2004 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

"The music world's prime disco big band during the late '70s, the Salsoul Orchestra recorded several of the tightest, chunkiest disco themes of the 1970s, both on its own productions and as the backing group for several prime vocalists. Organized by Vincent Montana Jr. in 1974, the band was an experiment in fusing funk, Philly soul, and Latin music together in a highly danceable discofied style with plenty of room for solos by individual members. With arrangers, conductors, and whole sections of instruments (including up to 18 violinists) contributing to the sound, the Salsoul Orchestra routinely included up to 50 members. Though the Salsoul sound became passé in the wake of disco music's explosion and rapid commercialization during the late '70s, Salsoul was a heavy influence on house music in the 1980s and even the return of disco-inspired electronica during the following decade."

― etc, Saturday, 17 April 2004 06:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Sounds interesting/good. Watch out for Sy's lyrics a bit on that one, you prob gathered already

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 18 April 2004 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I got the 7" of Janet Jackson's "Miss you Much" for a dollar, mostly because the cover folds out into a black and white poster, though I like the song (I was surprised to see it's not a Prince song though, it sounds so Prince)

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Sunday, 18 April 2004 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the lyrics! nowhere near as annoying as Goo or Sister (or if I strip away the nostalgia/&c, Daydream Nation & about 70% of Dirty).

― etc, Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:05 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry that may have been overly contentious re: having to rush to finish the post coz my boss was telling me to go vacuum &c, but she's now having a cigarette w/her son outside while I slosh back soothing herbal tea hurrah.

anyway, I've listened to NYCG&F heaps & heaps since I've gotten it, even three times in a row I think after I had a huge meal + milk & felt sleepy (the uh sleep-deprivation would've helped too) & lay back on my bed & . . . yeah. I was "surprised" by how high the vox were in one track, but I think it was because there wasn't any guitar/&c for a while; it sounded normal after that.

― etc, Sunday, 18 April 2004 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, I dunno, I find SY's "rock" moves fairly dishonest/pretentious (haha tho only if I get to be hypocritical & use it as a value-neg modifier) (& "Wish Fulfillment" I find really honest/beautiful/etc, so maybe I need to think this through s'more)

― etc, Sunday, 18 April 2004 23:06 (twenty-two years ago)

this weekend i got:

shannon wright - over the sun
joanna newsom - the milk-eyed mender

Well Lee's a John Fogerty obsessive

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 19 April 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Also "Sister" has my fav Sy lyrics easily, some of my fav lyrics ever probably.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 19 April 2004 05:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the lyrics from A Thousand Leaves, in a beret'd goatee-sporting, John-Lennon-glasses-wearing, bongo-bopping kinda way.

― Minty (Minty), Monday, 19 April 2004 07:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Strokes "Is This It" (on Wednesday though), Elisabeth got it too, it's the cover featuring a simulation of the big bang or something rather than a lady's bottom which we prefer as it looks nice and is full of lovely colours but which sorely disappointed Tapper for very good reasons to do w/the underlying themes of the record and so forth but which I can't remember, as I was distracted by Big Star's "I'm In Love w/a Girl" and stuff.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 23 April 2004 09:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't even remember my reasons, that song was fairly distracting. I got Spotlight on the Kinks, which I think is like two of their albums put together but I dunno. Anyway it has "Lola" on it, good - I've been wanting a recording of that for a while.

― Livvie (Livvie), Saturday, 24 April 2004 05:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Livvie - Nancy and Lee!

― Gemma Syme, Sunday, 9 May 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi Gemma! I'm listening to it now! Not very attentively I guess.

― Livvie (Livvie), Sunday, 9 May 2004 10:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Television "The Blow-Up" (for $25! Thank you heroin!) and the Raincoat's "Odyshape" (for nothing! Thank you Elisabeth! Even tho I bought it for you as a gift in the first place so I actually kinda paid for it!).

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 12:55 (twenty-one years ago)

that raincoats album is great..

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah it is, when I'm stoned anyway. Recently! 'Return of the Giant Slits', Saint Etienne 'You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone' (birthday present thank you Elisabeth)

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 22 May 2004 00:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Dead C - DR503 in the mail and the Giorgio Moroder/Philip Oakey record from RG. My other internet stuff is not getting here fast enough, it serves me right for how long I take to send people stuff.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

gimme a breakdown on the slits album, ive got the peel session ep and 'cut'.. so i guess you could count me as a fan..

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 02:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I got a buttload of stuff from the 24 hour booksale, I can't be arsed typing it all in tho. You'll just have to take my word that you should all be jealous.

― Minty (Minty), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 03:10 (twenty-one years ago)

24 hour booksale? you dudes know that the rockshop has a big-ass sale on at the moment?, a LOT of stuff at like crazy (50%+ off) prices..

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

The best bookfair ever was in Orewa for sure.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)

the 24hr bk sale was kind of a pain, the records were mostly seekers & neil diamond & solid gold vol 1 & fuckin CLASSICAL records - who the f. buys classical music on vinyl, NOBODY DOES - but there was still tons of people in the way of me looking thru em - actual snippet of conv. heard : "oh readers digest condensed books, those're good" - fuck off outta my way, if you want this shit don't you know you can find it for the same price in every op shop in the country?! fuck off home to bed! i found a nice copy of penderecki's "song of songs" & 3 john hore albums tho.

― duane, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah nz 2nd hand stores / thrifts have a terrible habit of getting an ass-load of crap in the classical / show-tunes variety.. in san fran they must have a filtering system for this shit or something coz you NEVER see anything as unwanted as the 'South Pacific' soundtrack..

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe there's more of a market for show tunes LPs in San Francisco? I'm just saying, is all.

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 01:15 (twenty-one years ago)

oh cause of all the HOMOS you mean

― duane, Wednesday, 26 May 2004 02:58 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry that wasnt too funny now that i think about it

there's new stuff in the echo sale bins, i just got some

― duane, Wednesday, 26 May 2004 03:01 (twenty-one years ago)

"i just got some" + bought some records i mean

― duane, Wednesday, 26 May 2004 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

oops the "+" was supposed to be a "="

― duane, Wednesday, 26 May 2004 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i go now

― duane, Wednesday, 26 May 2004 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

"I just got some + bought some records"

For a minute that sounded like the best diary entry ever.

But not from a store as there are no good ones in Hamilton.

― Fergus, Thursday, 27 May 2004 07:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Chris Ok I've listened to it three times and I think it's maybe SLIGHTLY inferior to "Cut", tho it depends on whether you want more punk or more dub out of them. They're as much of a PRESENCE on it as on any of their records, which sort've surprised me, I thought the production/musicians etc might smother them a bit, it doesn't. They make great fronters. You prob knew all this, you should get this rec I think.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 27 May 2004 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i got moving by the raincoats and good humour by saint etienne the other day.

― chris andrews (fraew), Friday, 28 May 2004 10:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuck, nice work Chris! I was just feeling bitter about passing up "Soon Over Babaluma" years ago today. I'd be jealous of the Puddle too but I got that a few weeks ago. Jealous of yr Doublehappys, tho

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 28 May 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

i am wayyyyyy jealous of your doublehappys too! and thanks about the gig. hey whos gonna watch us on tv tonight between 1 and 2am?

that's what I get for being away from the interweb (& tv) - how did it go? did anyone tape it? anyone else interesting play?

― etc, Sunday, 30 May 2004 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)

It was GREAT and EL SCHLONG played and and and get a fuckin Tv

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 30 May 2004 12:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Aww they/you played "I've Got You", but it got cut off

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 30 May 2004 12:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I taped it and it was SO GOOD! Hey Di where'd you get yr hat? Do you guys know El Schlong?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 30 May 2004 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah it was cool guys... i was rather drunk, but im pretty sure you brought the motherfuckin' fury.. though they faded you out midway through the 2nd song.. it was very weird seeing simon barnett introduce Human

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 30 May 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks guys! we actually had two and a half songs televised, and that was cool cos we thought it'd only be two songs. i don't know el schlong. what are they like? i didn't bother watching them cos i assumed they would be a testosterone-fueled punk band. the hat was from err fairies, wizards and gifts. i want a real top hat!!!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 30 May 2004 23:36 (twenty-one years ago)

El Schlong are "Dunedin's hardest metal band". I never seen them tho.

― Minty (Minty), Monday, 31 May 2004 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

it was a PAY TOILET OF DESPAIR!

― chris andrews (fraew), Monday, 31 May 2004 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i saw them once i think & if they were that band that i saw & thought was them they are really really terrible

― duane, Monday, 31 May 2004 04:05 (twenty-one years ago)

& even if they weren't they probably are

― duane, Monday, 31 May 2004 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i could be wrong

― duane, Monday, 31 May 2004 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

their name it means "TEH PENIS"

― duane, Monday, 31 May 2004 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

for those of you without a spanish yiddish phrasebook

― duane, Monday, 31 May 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

(is "schlong" yiddish? maybe it isn't)

― duane, Monday, 31 May 2004 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

El Schlong ARE terrible. I suspect Andrew and Elisabeth like them for non-musical reasons.

― Livvie (Livvie), Monday, 31 May 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

my friend emmy said they are great too, i think i should see them and find out.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 01:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah you know, they're FUNNY. Who would call a band El Schlong anyway?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

some dick

― duane, Tuesday, 1 June 2004 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

They are pretty hard tho

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

In the weekend I was talking to this kid in an 8 Foot Sativa t-shirt and he boasted that the drummer from El Schlong practises for 6 hours, 6 days a week.

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:12 (twenty-one years ago)

How Bluegrass Music Destroyed My Life? I hope you get time to read it, I read one (very funny) chapter and it'd be good to find out if it was all decent

― Livvie (Livvie), Saturday, 5 June 2004 04:28 (twenty-one years ago)

did you pick up the big star from pennys?, damnit!
the only thing i found yesterday there was an early ripper compilation featuring the features, spelling mistakes and the birthday party..
aside from that got a few 7"s from around the place, including olla, anastacia strap-on (which is an awfully quiet lathe sadly, kinda renders bev's cover of 'psycho' a little thin) and the 3ds..

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 6 June 2004 02:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Echo, cost me $20 which I REALLY didn't have but it's, like, my favourite record of ever and until now I've only had it taped for me so I was still so so pleased. Do you think Penny Lane will be open tomorrow Chris?

― Livvie (Livvie), Sunday, 6 June 2004 04:05 (twenty-one years ago)

well..they're not open on sundays, so i dunno if they would be on a public holiday.. they've just reshuffled all the stock. did you guys not make it to pennys yesterday?, we saw y'all from the bus on the way home..

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 6 June 2004 05:48 (twenty-one years ago)

oh christ is tomorrow a public holiday? that fucking queen.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 6 June 2004 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

We figured it'd probably be shut by the time we got there. If it's not tomorrow we'll try and make it on Tuesday before they leave, I guess. Fuckin' Penny Lane and their limited opening hours.

― Livvie (Livvie), Sunday, 6 June 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

btw penny's has a couple of pin group 7"s on the wall at the moment.. $150 a peice..

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 6 June 2004 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Geez! The only Pin Group I've ever heard is "Ambivilence", it was pretty good but nothing I'd pay that for! Though my record price limit for like ANYTHING is pretty much $40.

― Livvie (Livvie), Sunday, 6 June 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

the retrospective is pretty great. the original 2 7"s are worth a fortune - flying nun release no.1 and 3. and all.. and with only 100 of each pressed back in the day, too

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 6 June 2004 10:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Joy Division records aren't that expensive anyway and Roy's solo stuff's mostly better if still not ever all that anything (TO ME)

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 6 June 2004 11:03 (twenty-one years ago)

$150 for a pin group single? for fucks sake

― the surface noise for the sake of noise (electricsound), Sunday, 6 June 2004 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

according to dave imlay, galaxy had the ambivilence single going for $100 last year, and sold it within the day..

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 14 June 2004 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been listening to H's copy and I'm so blown away by it.
It's brilliant, and sad and kind of majestic, and remionds me of some Richard Youngs

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Monday, 14 June 2004 07:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Scott Walker - Scott and Scott 2 from RG, then I got SYR1 from Brendan's store.

fucking hell. how much did the first four purchases cost?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 19 June 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

**** was a little expensive at $30
toy love was $8
the fall was $4, its not one of their prime 7's
gordons $15
exploding budgies $10 (i already have the cd comp and the goblin mix ep.. but yknow)
expendables was coverless for only $4

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 20 June 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

wow that **** album, i no hear that for long time (usedta have it/shoulda kept it. oh well)....the life in the fridge tracks are awesome, the rest i seem to recall sucked a bit.

― duane, Sunday, 20 June 2004 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Crawlspace had some of those, $10 or something. Pixies "Come On Pilgrim", Fleetwood Mac "Mirage"

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 20 June 2004 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

hey chris, I'd help you recoup yr costs for the **** album if you could digitise it (otherwise my only hope to hear it is g4ry st33l, sigh).

― etc, Sunday, 20 June 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

sure, email me your details and i'll send you a cd-r

btw duane, though i haven't really listened to the **** much, but i've recently fallen in love with naked spots dance. i picked up the 'love' ep a while back, and recently 'falling' on tape. both are top quality post-punk, think au pairs but with psych-freakouts.. very cool

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 20 June 2004 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i found a copy of the great unwashed singles double 7" that comes in the shower curtain the other day.. theres only like a handful of copies of it. pity the shower-curtain plastic doesn't breath so the actual vinyl is shoddy as fuck..

― chris andrews (fraew), Thursday, 22 July 2004 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Johnny Cash "American IV; The Man Comes Around"

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 25 July 2004 11:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Aside from being able to keep to her own tunes I dont think Fiona Apple can actually "sing". Wouldn't matter except she thinks she can and somehow ended up doing an inert and unresponsive as a corpse "duet" w/JC on this record and fuck it. FUCK IT. It's disgusting. Maybe it'll reveal hidden depths (of shittiness prob) later but I'm sticking w/FUCK IT right now, I think. JC was no necrophiliac singer! He wants living breathing response!

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 25 July 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

ALRIGHT! I agree.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 25 July 2004 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

i saw fiona apple on tv once, she was amazing. i've never actually heard one of her songs all the way through apart from that, tho.

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 25 July 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

um thats about it. sometimes the opshops are a source of specialness too. rah rah all the heaven 17 12"s i find there.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 26 July 2004 01:15 (twenty-one years ago)

It wouldn't be such a shame if it wasn't on BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER cos that song's SACRED to me. Don Henley does a much nicer job on "Desperado", good for him.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey I got "The Idiot" recently too! When my turntable's fixed I'll be able to see if it's good enough to warrant all the mockery I got from Livvie for not having it.

― Minty (Minty), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

the idiots ok, i MUCH prefer 'lust for life', and (obviously) the entire stooges catelogue..

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It's not THAT obvious, The Idiot is my favourite. But then I like Funhouse least of all the Stooges recs so WHAT DO I KNOW.

― Livvie (Livvie), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Also Anton you SHOULD like it but I kinda suspect you won't, oh well.

― Livvie (Livvie), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:39 (twenty-one years ago)

you like funhouse LEAST? wow. how come?

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

was it "the idiot" or "lust for life" ian curtis had playing when he killed himself?

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 10:01 (twenty-one years ago)

The Idiot; killing yourself to Lust For Life is would be ridiculously ironic. The first two songs on Raw Power are my favourite Stooges tracks, I actually LIKE James Williamson, I love the Cale production (oddly enough) on the s/t. I guess I just mostly prefer the tracks on the other two. Though don't get me wrong, I still think Funhouse is one of the greatest recs ever.

― Livvie (Livvie), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 10:56 (twenty-one years ago)

There's NO WAY preferring the Stooges to Lust/Idiot is obv! Dunno how I'd rate them if I HAD to, but I think it'd go Stooges/Idiot/Raw Power/Lust For Life/Funhouse/Kill City/etc. Tho yeah on the right day "Funhouse" (or ANY of these records) could be number ONE, easy. I too like James Williamson! The lead solo thing on the intro to "Search and Destroy" is some of the best guitar EVER EVER by anyone EVER. Ever.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Raw Power / Fun House / Stooges / Lust for Life / The Idiot / Blah Blah Blah

haven't got the rest.. I guess to me the idiot just sounds misguided and lacks the songs of lust for life, which (although a little peppered by some pretty dodgy bowie production) comes out pretty clean. to me though, iggy = big, loud and nasty, and he did that best on the 3 stooges albums

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I got some good shit today:
Red Crayola - God Bless the Red Crayola and all who sail with it, The Parable of Arable Land, Neil Hagerty - Howling Hex Section 2 (!!!!), Crime - Hate Us or Love Us We Don't Give a Fuck. Lucky me.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Thursday, 19 August 2004 02:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Well he's 5"1', isn't he? Not exactly BIG. The production on both Bowie records kicks everyone on this thread's ass.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Can "Can"

― Andrew Can Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Something else that rules about "Search and Destroy"; I guess it's the great JAMES doing the heavy/brutal/BITCHIN rhythm guitar UNDER that up there w/guitar of all time LEAD SOLO THING, what a kickass dude. And Iggy goes "Hey!" a bit and that rules too.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 12:46 (twenty-one years ago)

The Can's a genuine German pressing in a German sleeve from Germany brought over by E's German dad! Cool! It's pretty great so far, too. V. happy and synthy.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Their version of the Can-Can is great! It sounds like Perrey/Kingsley or something! And now it's the entertaining sounds of them playing pingpong

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

― etc, Monday, 23 August 2004 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

dunno about the boxset, but pennys does have quite a bit of yoko's stuff (and a shitload of the lennon tapes to boot).. you might be best calling those guys i guess - i don't think you'd have much luck with galaxy though (echo's a 50/50)

How much did it cost on vinyl. I was wondering about that.
I wrote it on another thread here but I just want to repeat it now! Brian Wilson and thirty musicians are performing it in NZ in December. Well that's what I heard. I have a seat in the back row of the 2nd Wellington Gillian Welch show.

$1 singles
cut copy - future (inc. zongamin remix! hipster-baiting b-side!)
a.r.e. weapons - new york muscle (which is a hidden track on the s/t album, but that makes it near-impossible to dj w/. the band at their cheapest, crassest & campest)
(for my flatmate's birthday present - erlend oye's sheltered life & dj assault's belle isle tech, which for some reason was in a cdsingle case (despite being a 74 minute mix on mo'wax) & only 50c!)

&, um, the last two headless chickens cdsingles I was missing, mr moon & donde esta la pollo, haha.

I also fulfilled a long-standing dream of reading the liner notes of plays pretty for baby.

L Lurex: Gillian Welch sold out her Nov 22nd Sunday night show in Wellington a few hours after tickets went on sale, so is doing an extra show the next night, which is what I have a ticket to and sold really quickly too. It's at the Paramount which is primarily (almost exclusively actually) a cinema and will be all seated. Should have good acoustics. The seats aren't too roomy or comfy at the moment though - renovations are afoot but I don't think they'll be don by then (I should remember better since I go to film society there). She's probably playing in Auckland too, what a pity. Personally I think Greymouth would be the place for her to play.
ps. Have you heard of Kimya Dawson? she's awesome, I think you'd like her - you should keep an ear out for her whilst youre in the U S A; she plays lots of great sounding gigs, like real cheap or free, sometimes in fans of hers backyards.

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Saturday, 23 October 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

she's meant to be playing in NZ in '05 anyway

the undertones - sin of pride
tom waits - rain dogs (who cares if i have it on cd, it was $5!!)

― chris andrews (fraew), Saturday, 6 November 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think that Undertones reissue is meant to be like the album minus the singles as it originally came out or something, then later on it was put out with the singles on it. I bought that reissue a while back but then two weeks later I found it with Teenage Kicks etc so I bought that one.

Wrong place right time
I used to think I could do what I wanted to
Right time for me alone
Walk the streets of complete full homes


Wrong place, but I'm bound
To stick with what I intend to see through
See you, in wrong place
Right time but there's miles in between

I keep on knocking but there's no bugger in
I have to sing gothic, boo hoo

See me, a new reign
A new reign not to be forgotten
Right place, right time
Right time and Britain is mine
That day, on way
And all peasants will know Oranj

Peasants smile: big shine
Very happy under rule of Oranj
You can whine under rule of Oranj

Mike Clarke: sez I bastard
He is deranged, I am William of Oranj
Go insane in Holland!
I can't wait to taste anthrax turf again
Big Wren: homage Oranj
I an Oranj I have paid dues to the one
Who's #1 in heaven
As in Heaven so in Britain
(By Oranj I am Oranj I am one)

Can't dance can't sing
Cursed forever is William of Oranj
Can't dance can't sing
Cursed forever is William of Oranj
Can't dance can't sing
Cursed forever is William of Oranj
Can't dance can't sing
Cursed forever is William of Oranj
Cursed forever is William of Oranj
Cursed forever is William of Oranj
Cursed forever is William of Oranj
Cursed forever is William of Oranj

best performers/performance I've ever seen? probably. They are GODS.
Anton had front row, I had BACK ROW but managed to move up to a vacant seat in the third row with a perfect view. They had thunderous standing ovations, did two encores then a third right up againt the front row away from their microphones. If I had the money I'd follow them on tour!

Just noticed this (guess who's bored), Etc had this to say- "i'm a huge huge fan of "law of the land" but that was from their later disco direction." No, it wasn't. I too love that track, taped it a few times, it's off "Masterpiece" which came out a few years (not many in any but crazyproductive Motown terms) later (1973) (there's like 10 Lps in between!) than what we were talking about ("Cloud Nine") (1969). SO THERE. Same producer (the pretty wonderful Norman Whitfield, also behind that Rare Earth Lp I have, on which he does an Undisputed Truth sort of thing (haven't got anything by them tho, so sad), redoes a load of the songs he wrote/produced for the Temptations but LONGER ("Ma" gets to 17 rather than 5 or so mins)), bit more EXPANSIVE (ie. as suggested by RE, longer songs) but same setup. Whole album's good, that's about the most immediate thing on it tho. There's loads of soul you'd like if you like that, basically (title track of "Cloud Nine" for a start), tho maybe context's a problem. Drawing lines between Soul/Funk/Disco often comes down to not a lot more than what year it got put out. Obv. But, context/name. Oh well.
