ASK SCOTT SEWARD

what is your age?

g!

is this creepy or cool? i can't decide. maybe crazysexycool. or creepysexywtf?

(again: xpost? or not? hmmm.)

Scott,

Were you joking on that 'drummer' thread when you asked if anybody really liked Charlie Watts? You were just testing people, right?

Love,
Roy

Should I move to TEH MARHTA'S VINEYARD? Sounds nice.

Are there movie theaters?

Why is it that i'm sitting at home alone in front of the computer drinking week old sangria with sappy country on the record player and Lost on mute on the tv?

Yours,
jason

Scott, I can honestly say I love Charlie Watts. he is a big hero of mine. In fact, I was just thinking to myself how much I loved him last Friday, when I listened to Goats Head Soup for the first time in about a year or so. Listen to his performance on "Star Star"; it's pure Charlie. He starts with the hi-hat real tight, then he opens it up on the subsequent verses, then, by the outro, he's really fucking bashing those crash cymbals. Listen to him on the fadeout of that track. He's just one of those guys that has an instantly recognizable musical personality. He inspires teh luv.

*sigh* my hero

can you ask ally who made that Bloomps picture. they are my hero.

jason

"ooooh, i'm sorry joel, but that needs to be presented in the form of a question"

Yes! although a couple of them close down in the winter. But they have cool old-tymey ones like in the olden days. they are nice.

Those doodz like pictures too much. It takes me too long to load pages on my crappy connection. So I just imagine the hijinks and leave it at that. I think I get the general idea.

Model, singer, actress and writer. American-born Marsha Hunt first came to prominence starring in the rock musical Hair in London in 1968. Her relationship with Mick Jagger led to the birth of their daughter Karis. Her acting career included appearances in Dracula AD 1972 (1972) and the Lindsay Anderson directed Britannia Hospital (1982). In 1990 she played Bianca in the Trevor Nunn directed television production of Othello. Since the late 1980s Hunt has published a number of books including Joy (1990) and Free (1994).

"Los Vidrios Quebrados comenzamos en el 65 en la Escuela de Derecho de la Católica, Formamos primero un trío con Cristán Larraín en bajo y Juan Enrique Garcés en batería. Después de probar muchos guitarristas de acompañamiento llegó Juan O´Brien. Empezamos con instrumentos hechos por nosotros mismos y tocábamos en colegios. Después de presentarnos en un festival de la canción en la Católica, Odeon nos ofreció un contrato y grabamos nuestro primer single, con el tema Friend por un lado y por el otro She'll Never Know I'm Blue. Un año después, con el productor Alberto Maturana, grabamos el LP Fictions para RCA.

Title: Long Overdue
Label: GEAR FAB/COMET (ITALY)
Format: LP
Price: $21.00
Catalog #: GF 426
"This great Morgantown, West Virginia quartet originally released this (very rare) rural rock album in 1970 on Electric Fox. Great fuzz guitar, heavy organ and tasteful use of acoustic guitars and piano. Reminiscent of America, Neil Young and Douglas Fir. Original artwork. 180 gram vinyl."

If any Austin group of the late '60s could be called the Vulcan Gas Company's de facto house band, it would have to be the Conqueroo. That, despite the fact that the Vulcan was self-billed as a psychedelic concert hall and the Conqueroo was hardly psychedelic although certainly a hippie favorite. If any musical genre could have been attached to the eclectic Conqueroo, it would have been not one but a fusion of many: folk, rock, jazz, and blues. Nonetheless, the Conqueroo was a regular at the Vulcan -- featured prominently on many Vulcan handbills and posters -- from the hall's opening in 1967 until its closing in mid '70. And it was at the Vulcan that Sonobeat owners Bill Josey Sr. and Rim Kelley (Bill Jr.) first heard the Conqueroo perform and instantly knew they had to record the group. Just one recording session at the Vulcan Gas Company yielded Sonobeat's fifth release and third rock single, a pairing of Ed Guinn's I've Got Time (featuring an enigmatically dramatic, yet strangely reserved, duet) and 1 to 3 (featuring an equally dramatic but uninhibited vocal by its composer, Bob Brown). No fancy recording techniques were used; the single is nothing short of two great songs performed passionately by great musicians, captured just a little raw at one of Sonobeat's favorite venues. It remains the only commercial release by the Conqueroo, who often shared the Vulcan stage with the 13th Floor Elevators, Johnny Winter, or Shiva's Headband.

From left, Charlie Pritchard (guitar), Gerry Storm (drums), Bob Brown (guitar), Ed Guinn (bass), four kids and a dog

Sonobeat issued the Conqueroo's single with a two-sided black and white picture sleeve designed by legendary Austin cartoonist Gilbert Shelton (who lived with the Conqueroo and half a dozen other assorted characters in a large house just off the University of Texas campus).

A stunning image by celebrated Austin photographer Belmer Wright (not to be confused with another great Austin photographer, Burton Wilson) completed the sleeve, which has a bit of the look and feel of one of those famous Vulcan Gas Company handbills of the '60s. Both sides of the sleeve are identical, except for the song titles, hand lettered by Shelton.

Originally scheduled as Rs-104 (which collectors will note is etched in the dead wax), the Conqueroo's single moved up a notch in Sonobeat's release schedule after Shiva's Headband had second thoughts about the release of their single, also recorded at the Vulcan and originally scheduled for release ahead of the Conqueroo's. Bill Josey's handwritten notes on the master tape box indicate both songs were recorded in March 1968 with two 2-track Ampex recorders. The second recorder was used for vocal overdubs that were recorded at the end of the Vulcan session.

After landing a solo contract with MGM/Verve Records, and before beginning a solo album, he recruited brother John for an experimental ‘rock meets theatre’ album. The duet, along with a dozen top studio musicians, recorded The Appletree Theatre in 1967, a ground-breaking effort among the so-called "concept" albums of the late sixties, fusing brief Saturday Night Live type comic sketches with slightly tongue-in-cheek parodies of contemporary musical genres. John Lennon, in an interview with Penny Nichols in London, called The Appletree Theatre one of his favorite new albums, Time Magazine lauded the Boylans' sense of humor, and Phillip Proctor acknowledged their influence on his own group, The Firesign Theatre.
Returning to Bard College in ‘68, Boylan teamed up with fellow students Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, and recorded Alias Boona at New York’s Hit Factory, for MGM Records. In a tip of the hat to his old mentor, Boylan recorded an entirely re-arranged version of Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues, sounding more like Procol Harem than early Dylan. The influence of The Band and Van Morrison were also evident on the album, in such tunes as Deep in the Middle and Hey Hannah. Dylan brought the album to the attention of manager Albert Grossman, and discussions began toward recording an album in near-by Woodstock, N.Y., then home to both Dylan and Grossman.

PETE BROWN & THE BATTERED ORNAMENTS

Mantlepiece

Enregistré avant le clash entre Pete Brown et Chris Spedding, "Mantlepiece" sera manipulé à sa sortie. Le producteur effacera toutes les traces des vocaux de Peter Brown et les remplacera. L'echec commercial précipitera l'explosion du groupe. Rob Tait le batteur, suivra Pete Brown au sein de son nouveau groupe Piblokto et Chris Spedding entamera la carrière qu'on lui connaît. Sans Brown, "Mantlepiece" manque singulièrement de folie mais reste un honnête disque de rock jazz, comme savent bien les pondre les anglais.

First, a little background: Michael Yonkers has to rank among American rock's most intriguing eccentrics. His adolescent obsession with garage and surf eventually developed into a fascination with gadgetry that would inform his band's dynamic brand of rock primitivism but also indirectly cause him years of health problems. Recording with his own modified guitar (a sawed-down Telecaster he still plays today) and homemade effects, Yonkers released five little-heard albums on his own label in the mid 1970s. But then in 1971, he broke his back in an accident at the electronics factory where he worked; years of surgery and an allergic reaction to dye used in X-rays caused a degenerative spinal condition which Yonkers now treats through dance. Now in his 50s, Yonkers is a prominent figure in the Minneapolis dance community for years and he occasionally still plays live music as well.

Recorded in 1968 when Yonkers was still a teenager, Microminiature Love provides another link between the dirty swagger of '60s garage and the angry hallucinations of '70s punk. The record's incredibly cruddy production style (it sounds like it was recorded straight to tape in an echoey basement) recalls Stooges outtakes, while its dark, dissonant rhythms and zany flavor presage Pere Ubu. With its cheap guitar pyrotechnics, layers of distortion and weird effects, and Yonkers's gloomy vocals, Microminiature Love was the kind of album that would have driven Lester Bangs into fits of frothy-mouthed ecstasy. Only Bangs never heard the record, because a deal with Sire to release it fell through and Microminiature Love languished in unreleased obscurity until 2002, when De Stijl Records rescued it with a vinyl-only release. Sub Pop's new CD version adds six previously unreleased 1968-era tracks.

Tiffany Shade "Tiffany Shade" 1968 (Mainstream)
This used to be one of the less championed Mainstreams, but the persistent hype on the label has sent the rep of it soaring. Mainstream seldom spent much time on A & R once the artists had been signed, but Tiffany Shade must have been pushed through quick even by their standards. Hence a rather charming teen garage presentation of what is economy fare westcoast folkrock-psych sounds, plus a bunch of tracks that make no sense at all. LP opens strongly with several raw trips on the early Airplane style; cutting fuzz leads and excellent "Nuggets" vocals should appeal to anyone. Side 2 is less garagey & more goofy top 40, but listenable with class points reaped for a Love cover. All over a bit better than I expected, with some prime slices of 60s cheese-psych. Superb cover artwork, as always with the label. An original UK pressing exists on the Fontana label.

CD issue of excellent the sole album from this UK hippy folk trio. Originally released on Deram in 1969, it is similar in places to the Incredible String Band, Gryphon or Moonkyte with harpsichiord and medieval arrangements mixing with electric and acoustic folk. Fab groovy and certainly of it's era. Great artwork too...(hey, did you know that the lady from sunforest sang a song in clockwork orange? true story! your pal, scott)

What, I ask you, can be said about Bobb Trimble that hasn't been said before? Gentlepersons, don't start your search engines just mumble along in unison: "Ummeverything?"

Aye, verily; here's a chip off'n a rock tale too seldom told, although I'm hard-pressed to find anyone to blame for that. In fact, if a few hollow-eyed collectors hadn't honed in on his small-press cry from the DIY wilderness, these notes might still be swimming in my head instead of on the gramophone documentation now before you.

Besides, it's not like anyone else in the original Wormtown (Worcester, MA c.1977-1984) punk/weirdo scene ever made a truly national splash. The Unattached and The Odds (JJ Rassler's post-DMZ combo) came closest; besides, Bobb himself wasn't even really accepted in said scene-at-large until he'd hit the local club/warehouse/fairground circuit in '82 with the largely junior high-school Crippled Dog Band (context: Bobb was 24 at the time; loony tambourinist/howler Capt. PJ was thirty-something).

Before that, nuances of the odd onionskin layers of studio acid-folk heartbroken sound-dreams from his two self-released albums had fallen mostly upon punk-and-garage-rock-deafened ears. a real shame to be sure, but I can't even necessarily blame the newly punk-attuned, since they'd fought long and hard to cast off the yoke of 70s/80s arena/schmaltz oppression. To those for whom the urgency of punk and new/no-wave was a refreshing fix, Bobb's solo stuff may have been dismissed too readily as symbolic of the discarded "old guard".

Some of this original solo style is showcased here on Side One: Bobb solo recordings never released in their own time. Two of them, "Blood Of The Lamb" and "Home In Heaven" are rewrites of other as-yet unreleased tunes ("Break Of My Horizon" and "Wandering In A Daydream", respectively) that he undertook during a brief foray across the border into Jesus-freakdom. While spirituality often had colored the musical impressions in Bobb's music, there was a time of such loneliness and despair for him that he'd taken solace in the calm soul of the hippy-Man-of-Nazareth - while also taking to recasting some of his work in such wistful stain-glasséd tones. He never proselytized openly about his beliefs, though; in fact, the other members of The Prefab Messiahs and I originally took to calling him "St. Bobb" just because of his otherworldly aura of enlightened naïvete. In any event, Orpheus is planning a series of Bobb-related discs, so eventually you'll be able to hear these songs in their original text-settings too.

Despite the dissimilarities between Bobb's music and that of Wormtown-at-large, he was a big fan of the local scene, and became at least as caught up in its excitement as any other active participant. So, even as he proceeded to record a second solo album largely in his established style, he'd also convened a gaggle of Northborough, MA grade-schoolers (average age: 12) as "Bobb & The Kidds".

Why? On one hand, it may have been his own interpretation of the "youth voice empowerment" flaunted by the newest breed of rock rebels. Then again, like many a beautiful dreamer (& even Whitney Houston), Bobb believed that "the children are the future" - and since he felt a sense of betrayal in suburban society's overt message that innocence and imagination weren't acceptable in its adult populace, forming The Kidds could have been his way of ducking a punch of that unfortunate reality.

At some point, though, parents of one of The Kidds became paranoid about this 23-year old "artistic type" (with no girlfriend) leading a rock band of young boys. The paranoia spread far enough that The Kidds soon were disbanded by a force more insidious than that of any record company - their parents! (The one surviving document of the group actually made it onto Bobb's second LP (Harvest Of Dreams; no label); "Oh Baby" sounds much like what The Shaggs might have if they'd been boys weaned on Kiss' Love Gun)

Determined not to be foiled, Bobb sought out a few slightly older (junior high) guys, and - with "permission to rock" secured -- thus the Power Puff Boys...er, umm...the Crippled Dog Band - was formed!

The band breathed some youth-slackened rock fire into some of Bobb's songs, wrote some new ones of their own (featured here on Side Two), and slipped in the occasional odd choice in Beatles covers. The name was inspired by drummer Steve Fouracre's three-legged dog "Boopsie" (shown on the LP art; Bobb claims that Boopsie somewhat mauled him during the photos you see here, but he claims so with just enough hint of a smirk and a would-be poker face that it's hard to take him seriously). Many Wormtonians may recall what was perhaps their greatest day in the sun - their appearance at a WCUW event at E.M. Loew's Theater (now The Palladium) with The Nebulas, Performers, and Foamin Agents in February 1983. For the occasion, Bobb wore a top hat with bunny ears and a green satin coat, complete with bunny-tail.

Title: Toad
Label: HALLUCINATIONS
Format: CD
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: HCD 005
"Legendary Canadian folk/psych rarity from 1967-68. One of the hardest to find album collectibles there is. This recording also features a very young Lynda Squires (Reign Ghost) and many other Canadian folk notables of the day. Original cover art is here as well as liner notes . The master came from the band and sounds great, with male/female throughout. Standout cut for me is 'Believe Me', a folk gem of the day. Also a cool, haunting cover of 'Suzanne' is right there as well. This project is also related to the 'Rejects' LP, another lost Canadian rarity."

Armed with a recording contract the Panama Limited Jugband initially gigged at a large number of London coffee houses, the best known being the Troubadour at Ellis Court. One night at the Troubadour, PLJ played on the same bill with Stefan Grossman, a performer of acoustic blues guitar instrumentals and the author of many blues guitar instruction manuals which provide note-for-note transcriptions of classic downhome blues recordings. Brian Strachan's negative appraisal of Grossman's playing that evening, a sentiment with which Denis obviously concurs, reflects PLJ's commitment to the emotional feel of blues music.

We played there with Stefan Grossman. Brian hated Stefan, of course. He thought Grossman was totally hopeless. No feel whatsoever, just guitar licks straight off the record. Brian said that Grossman went to live with [African-American] blues guys, sucking up to them, getting them to show him how to do licks he couldn't get off the record. And Brian was just totally disgusted with him. It was great! Oh he could go on for an hour about Stefan Grossman!

The commercial recording commitment of the Panama Limited Jugband, later Panama Limited, prompted Denis to write songs, a pursuit that he has continued to this day. Performing a mixed repertoire of original and classic jugband songs (Memphis Jug Band, Cannon's Jug Stompers) PLJ landed engagements at universities that brought the band in contact with other elements of the English folksong revival. Shortly after the issue of their second recording, however, the band ceased being profitable.

In '69 we did the Jugband record [Harvest / EMI Records, The Panama Limited Jugband]. Then in '70 we did the next record [Harvest / EMI Records, Indian Summer] which had to be original. So that's when I started writing and I wrote eighty percent of the record. They dropped the "Jugband" part; it was just "Panama Limited" now. And then we weren't doing a hell of a lot after that and it was a tough time. You couldn't get many gigs. We could get gigs at universities like at Cambridge and Canterbury and places like that. I remember we did some gigs like that with the Young Tradition, those guys with their fingers in their ears [cupped hand over ear, a technique for improved hearing of one's own voice, common to ballad revivalists]. They're really good. They were really spine-chilling. I didn't really understand the music because it wasn't blues. I guess it was my own music; it was English music!

The story of how Denis eventually came to Newfoundland is a fascinating combination of serendipity and strategy.

have you heard any of these people?

"Duet with Marc on the song "My world is empty Without you". On this album Marsha covers "Hippy Gumbo", "Stacy Grove", "Hot Rod Popa" and "Desdemona". It is rumoured that Marc plays on all of these tracks. Produced by Tony Visconti & Kit Lambert (of The Who fame).

Side notes: Original label Track Records, released 9-30-71. At this point in time Tony Visconti was doing all he could to get Marc's music out there. Being the producer he gave her the Bolan songs to cover. "Hippie Gumbo" was released as a single in the UK.

Trivia: Marc and Marsha had a brief affair in 1969. Confirmed by the man that introduced them - Tony Visconti:

Yes, Marc played and did some backing vocals on those tracks. They did have a brief affair and June was a little pissed off with me because I introduced Marc to two women with whom he's had affairs. The other was [name removed until we're given the ok to mention it], an artist friend of mine. They met during the recording of Jeepster in New York."

I love all Pete Brown's stuff, Battered Ornaments and Piblokto. I guess I just go for that Harvest label British indulgence. Get A Meal You Can Shake Hands With in the Dark with Brown's great drunken 13 minute version of his "Politician".

the Yonkers thing on Sub Pop is essential, worthy of the hype. Don't know the rest.

im a bit underwhelmed by it, theres some ok piano stuff in it, but i dont like his voice too much

LETS TALK ABOUT SWAMI KRINANANDA!

My Indole Ring
Tony, Caro, and John (wrote 'em off as Robin Williamson rip-off after hearing the track on the UK Love, Peace, and Poetry volume, but there's also a track on the Shadoks sampler and it's also good)

others, probably

The reissue of the Speed Glue & Shinki record on Shadoks is a thing of beauty. Those guys truly pull out all the stops..

good morning gareth!

What can you tell me about The Hobbits Down To Middle Earth LP? I saw you mention it on some ILM thread. It's at the record store, but it's sealed so I can't listen to it. If I buy it, it would use up the remainder of my credit there. But... is it the jam?

One love,
Ian

why have you brought the noise board themed "ASK [x]" threads to ILM?

bad form!

"Don't Cut The Baby In Half" by ylvisaker is rarer, but near mint copies of "cool livin'" and the bram stoker together would probably set you back a couple hundred bucks on the interweb.

I enjoy your work. At the Salvation Army by my house there is a lot of vinyl from the seventies with ugly teenagers pictured on the front (or sometimes the back). Upon closer inspection these records all seem to be regional christian-themed folk. I have resisted picking any up so far because I have Peter Paul and Mary records and I don't even listen to those. Are these types of records very common because I haven't run across them before. Worth listening to? Also what if God was one of us?

sincerly,

chris

V/A Resurrection (Second Coming) cd 16.98
Subtitled, "The Amplified Side Of Heavenly Grooves". This ain't your momma's gospel music. Nope, this collection brings together some bizarre, funny, and downright groovy '60s/'70s tunes by/for Jesus-loving hipsters. Everything from garage rock to folk to lounge-jazz, and more, including some hilarious spoken word from the "Sunworshippers" (Jesus Freaks up in Eureka, CA). Then there's John Ylvisaker's demented "A Gay Cliche", a song so bad yet so good that it sounds like it belongs on "The Beat Of The Traps". Pat Boone and Dick Hyman also make appearances. Righteous. MOJO writer Will Hodgkinson makes a good point in the liner notes: "I've always maintained that the finest psychedelia is created by people who have only imagined what drugs are like rather than experience them first hand, so who better to make groovy acid rock than Christians?"

Their first album was on Decca and is actually pretty good. Contains the great "You Better Run (But You Sure Can't Hide)" which was covered nicely by Vermonster.

I'd never heard of them before until I saw the CD on the DustyGrove site, but when I asked them to reserve it for me, they said they couldn't find it! The cover looks great.

i'm telling you, this album is really really good and it sells for peanuts: http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4074321501

I need to sell a bunch of records, man. I can't believe some of the prices on there. Mountain Goats tapes go for like over $100?? who knew? I'm always lazy about listing though. there should be a rolling eBay thread to discus stuff. I need to know the stuff I should be selling.

If they're looking for a home...

Peanut Butter Conspiracy vs. Jefferson Airplane

i still wanna hear that 3rd peanut butter album though! it can't be as bad as the 3rd ultimate spinach record, right? (i never understood the spinach haterz! it's a psych snob rule of thumb to dismiss those records, but i have always loved them so - the first 2 . they are sublime and wacky and prog and arty and acid-drenched, and the arrangements are great. who cares if they were phoney baloneys!!??)

I always get Peanut Butter Conspiracy mixed up with Pacific Gas & Electric. one of the things that rocks about Kogan is his JA luv.

Skot I'm so happy to hear that yr Byrd love is growing! you might become a full-on Byrdmaniac just yet!

you need more tuna than that too! all the early stuff is great. the live stuff is great as well. electric, acoustic, i like it all.

no revisionism, just a preference.

but I do love JA. and believe me, I used to hate them too. With a passion! but I dunno, one day it just clicked with me. I guess when I learned to listen to the musicianship a little better ... Jorma, Jack, yes .. really phenomenal. I mean ... "Bear Melt"? more like "FACE MELT"!!! and I got over my Grace hate. now I'm a Grace luvver! she was crazy and insane and great.

I've got this old compilation album called First Vibration from 1969 that was put out by some organization called The Do It Now Foundation. It's got this weird anti-speed painting on the cover and an anti-speed message on the back and it's got "Aritificial Energy" by the Byrds on it and "Amphetamine Annie" by Canned Heat and "The Pusher" by Hoyt Axton. Anyway, it's got this Peanut Butter Conspiracy track on it called "Roses Gone" which is not on either of the first two PBC albums and it's GORGEOUS.

Sandy Robinson was like this fifties, Connie Francis or something type holdover singing for a psych band.

What do you think of Nasdijj?

How can I grow up to be like you?

i have one of those books! i've never read it though. i'll have to read that article.

hmmm, maybe.

i have no idea. i wouldn't recommend it. i lucked out. i have a lot to be thankful for, and i basically spent most of my adult life working shitty jobs, masturbating, drinking, and listening to lots of records. not exactly a recipe for success. the love of a good man/woman can go a long way.

so many jokes, so many jokes

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

why r u being a dick?

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

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!

MARCELLO MASTROIANNI -VS- JIM VARNEY

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.

hi scott,

is there any mexican death metal that is about aztecs, yknow like how scandanavian death metal is about vikings and stuff? cos that would be really cool.

thanks,
bell_labs

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?

Adam

is there any mexican death metal that is about aztecs
^^ this is a good idea

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

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

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.

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

metal bands that based their cosmos on african myths

those people who had the aliens from sirius would be cool

Is there a Varg Vikernes of the Arab world, who shuns Islam for the pre-Mohammedian gods?

Scott is on ILX hiatus til winter, he said. :(

Scott, have you heard the new album by BARONESS???

wow, that ebay thing is funny. he's gonna buy everything on my list one by one! cool.

i really like the new baroness. it SOUNDS great.

"Scott is on ILX hiatus til winter, he said. :("

yeah, so much for my hiatus. i lasted a couple of weeks though! i get bored. what can i say. it was nice for awhile.

Confessions of the Game Doctor by Bill Kunkel (#130067942411)

i met and interviewed kunkel once, he is a motherfucking character and a half, really fun to talk to.

Scott, why are you so awesome on your birthday?

^^^ LEGIT QUESTION

scott my dad is blown away that someone knows who the hook is.

"Scott, why are you so awesome on your birthday?"

it helps to have a great sexy partner in krime.

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)

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

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:

http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-BEATLES-RARE-78-RPM-MADE-IN-INDIA-RECORD-VINYL_W0QQitemZ120166893904QQihZ002QQcategoryZ306QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

the guy just keeps going and going and going and going and...well, you'll see.

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.

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

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.

scott i just saw a metal band called 3 inches of blood. they were so fucking amazing.

hey scott where is that thread where you posted your friend's paintings including one w/ the phillies phanatic?

i looked into his oldsmobile and he tried to sell me some crappy can boot for $30
i declined

thanks scott!

btw, do you have access to Curtis's Borad aka 77?

if not, it is a tremendous oversight and we would enjoy your presence immediately.

"scott i finally met stinky steve"

yay!

"btw, do you have access to Curtis's Borad aka 77?"

i dunno what that is.

scott email me what email address you log into ILX with: gr8080 @ gmail

hay scott, i listened to your (recent? third?) mix for hotheads on the way to work today. it ruled. i do not have a question.

Daer Scott Seward,

A track came up in my shuffle and I thought of you because you seem to be the right person to go to about this Nuggets-y sort of question.

Here's the track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZVmRpXtRyI

(the first track btw)

From what I gather this track was released in 1967, at a time when garage rock was in a significant decline in the US. But this band, Singapore's THE QUESTS, seem to have a certain edge, whether it's the drippy in-your-face Peter Gunn guitar or the drummer who favors his floor tom, that seems to come across as pretty "wild".

Was this sound captured on this track a stylistic anomaly or pretty par for the course for global party cover bands? Like, were the Quests channeling what was happening in, say, Detroit at the time? Do you see what I'm getting at here (dare I use the P-word)?

hey scott seward have you heard the god particles

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10385675.stm

"Was this sound captured on this track a stylistic anomaly or pretty par for the course for global party cover bands?"

pretty much par for the course! garage rock got to asia a little bit later and it isn't uncommon to hear mid 60's dance/garage/surf rave-ups even into the early 70's in some countries. have you heard the cambodian rocks comps? a lot of that stuff is late 60's. a lot of it very surf-influenced. the ventures were gods in asia. first in japan, but then all over. they had a huge influence on non-western rock back then.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NdixY9WmkA&feature=related

"hey scott seward have you heard the god particles"

no, i haven't! and now i think a lot of experimental sound artists are gonna have to go find new hobbies!

milton, have you heard my friend craig's sun boxes? very cool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpr36qWg9J0

I'm wondering if another mix you put up here is still available? It was all old stuff starting off with a song called Flop Top Beer and has the MacGuire Sisters, Loz Welk and so on. I loved that mix and the old link is buggered now. Thanks.

that was my don't believe in beatles mix. if you know michael daddino he might have it. unless you are michael daddino, in which case that info probably won't do you much good. i can ask maria if she still has it. she might. i gotta get on the ball with new mixes. i have two new hothead mixes on tape, but i am so friggin' digitally impaired.

Yes! That's the one. I had it saved on a computer that broke down. And unfortunately I don't know anyone, ha-ha. But Thanks for the tracklist, I can at least try and track down a bunch of the tracks if some beautiful person doesn't show up here and post a link. There's so many fun songs on that mix.

hey, everything, a certain someone lurking on this thread sent me a link:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/djux14

now wasn't that nice?

sun boxes are something we're all going to need

sounds like a cross between joe jones - solar music and garlo - vent de guitares

Xpost. Aw man, thanks 1,000,000. And thank whoever sent that mix back to you! :-))

scott, do you like reggae?

yes. yes i do. i don't listen to it much though. and reggae records have always been currency to me. meaning, i never held on to them. always good trade-in at record stores cuz record stores ALWAYS need more reggae records. so, i own next to no reggae records. when i was a kid i liked bob marley and black uhuru. this will sound dumb, but sometimes i feel self-conscious playing reggae if i think someone can hear me. i used to feel this way about playing the dead if there was an open window around. cuz i was afraid people would think i was a hippie. isn't that silly? but even if i play reggae in the store someone will almost always come in and say something like:"oh, playing a little reggae, huh? Irie!" it's weird. nobody does that when i play any other kind of music. and usually this makes me want to take it off.

but, anyway, i really like lots of 60's stuff and ska and blue beat and rock steady and prince buster and desmond dekker and skinhead reggae and all that really beautiful 60's jamaican soul stuff and 70's dub and 70's deep smoked-out roots/religious stuff and augustus pablo and i like dancehall and i even like 50's stuff too. when we were on marthas vineyard a month ago i found out that there are jamaican guys there who have a sound system - they open up all the reggae shows on the island - and i listened to their local radio show and it was great! lots of newer stuff that i've never heard and a lot of it was very cool.

Hey Scott I remember somewhere you praised Danny O'Keefe's 'Global Blues'. I've found all of his records up to Global Blues and there are certain things I really love about each of his records. Sometimes it's a country vibe, folkie or jazzy boogie rock. He has a unique way of doing all of those styles in a way different for anyone else. 'So Long Harry Truman' is my recent favorite, the sorrowful moments are heartbreaking. Was Global Blues a new horizon for him, should I buy this cheap copy on ebay?

Has Scott gone off the internet?

97.

Are you gonna make any more mixes? PLEASE SAY YES.

missed this. maybe, michael! i'd like to upload some more mixes.

and everyone needs a copy of gobal blues, jacob. its so wonderful and a truly unique artistic vision. my favorite of his.

scott what do you think about this song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JVNNRmxupo

Spread wood glue on your vinyl records to remove surface noise?

where did scott go? when's he coming back?

quit ilx, never

according to facebook anyway

any reason?

iirc he said he just wanted to spend more time in the real world

I miss scott around here

he still posts utubes on the "hot smoke for potheads" page every day

i watched a bunch of this today, so sick
