^^ one of the best georgia fiddle records of all time imo

Dollar finds:
Shirelles - Greatest Hits
Happy and Artie Traum - S/T
Steve Reid - Nova

Wow, some cool punk finds there Scott. I have Oi! Oi! Music on CD but would like to get it on vinyl one day. FYI, though, Back With A Bang is not by the pre-scary version of Skrewdriver... it's their first single post-reformation.

After lamenting that there were no record shops in my area since HMV and crappy local indie shop closed down, discovered an indoor market in Wood St next stop along from where I live in Walthamstow that has several record shops in it! One of which has LOADS of insanely rare punk/DIY records, loads of Messthetics type stuff, rare Italian HC etc. The prices are reasonable for what they are but mostly a bit out of my price range.

Here's what I've bought recently:

monroes - what do all the people know 7"
bleach boys - stocking clad nazi death squad bitches 12" (love this! been looking for not-insane priced copy for years and then this went up on Ebay for £20 and nobody else bid on it for some reason. It's in great condition as well!)
crusaders - street life 7"
booker t & the MG's - green onions 7"
dry heaves - shoot yourself LP
va - sent from coventry LP
electric vomit - no end 7"
MDC - millions of dead cops LP (UK pressing)
FUK - FUK LP
cramps - smell of female LP
lotus fucker - lotus fucker LP
electro hippies - the only good punk… is a dead one LP
wreckless eric - whole wide world 7"
damned - love song 7" (already have this but my copy is fucked and has horrible surface noise. this one's got a different sleeve and was only £1)
modern eon - euthenics 7"
undertones - jimmy jimmy 7"
zounds - can't cheat karma 7" (good price on this one! bit dirty though)
7 seconds - the crew LP
punishment of luxury - laughing academy LP

i would think that oi! oi! music would be easy to find where you are. its one of the easier oi albums to find in the states, actually. i honestly don't even know what they sell for these days. and yeah i know its new-lineup skrewdriver but still not scary lyrically. i don't know what the actual cut-off point is. same with the comp i got on boots & braces. the 2 skrewdriver songs on there are just oi! anthems and not racist in nature.

do you have the modern eon LP? i like that one.

but yeah chiswick era a whole other thing obviously.

I think that band are banned from being sold on ebay, I have seen a couple ads for Chiswick recs listed under titles only.

Handy tip, there

I only have the Modern Eon LP on mp3. It is good though.

Re: Back With A Bang again, the lyrics aren't "racist" as such, but there is this bit which is at least a dog whistle given where they went on their next single (which was White Power...):

Being patriotic's not the fashion so they say
To fly your country's flag's a crime

people sell the bad stuff using his initials sometimes. i'm keeping the stuff i got. wouldn't put them online.

the sound of that 12 inch though...can't express how friggin' amazing the drums and bass sound on it.

patriotism i can handle. and if you like oi you'll get some of that. was listening to the upstarts yesterday and reminded how much i like their song "england" which i guess at the time didn't go over so well with some people.

This public school near me has a weekly fleamarket/thrift sale every weekend and people usually have some records out but I hardly ever find anything if I stop to browse .... yesterday I flipped through some stuff and found Jean-Jacques Perrey's "Moog Indigo" and Perrey & Kingsley's "The In Sound From Way Out." 15 bucks for both. I was pretty psyched, never seen Moog Indigo except as a 30-dollar record on some store's wall. Went home and immediately listened to "E.V.A." real loud.

Apache Dropout Bubblegum Graveyard
Apache Dropout Magnetic Heads
Pretty Mustache in Your Face
Shocking Blue Mighty Joe b/w I'm a Woman
Crazy World of Arthur Brown Fire b/w Rest Cure

I sold lots and lots of hip hop records yesterday (the ones I got from that storage unit) at the Eugene Record Convention (supposedly the biggest on the West Coast??) and treated myself bigtime:

Robert Fripp - League Of Crafty Guitarists Live!
Camberwell Now - The Ghost Trade (awesome Swiss pressing)
John & Beverley Martyn - Stormbringer
Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material
Stiff Little Fingers - Go For It
Oneida - The Wedding
Nick Cave/Bad Seeds - Kicking Against The Pricks
The Jazz Butcher - Edward's Closet
La Dusseldorf - Viva (reissue)
Severed Heads - Clifford Darling
Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On
Iron Butterfly - Heavy
Stevie Wonder - Talking Book (mint upgrade, so nice)
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall (ditto)
Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (ditto, one of those new pressings)
Legendary Pink Dots - Atomic Roses
Bailey, Muir, Parker, et al - The Music Improvisation Company
Gary Numan - Tubeway Army
VA - Darker Skratcher
Edward Ka-Spel - The Blue Room 2LP (I scratched side 3 of my old copy)
Caetano Veloso - S/T ("Tropicalia"? boot on Lilith, used)
Ciccone Youth 12"
Alice Coltrane - Ptah, The El Daoud
Spinanes - Manos
Whitehouse - Thank Your Lucky Stars
Dark Day - Exterminating Angel reissue
White Rainbow - Prism Of Eternal Now 2LP (YES!)
Strawberry Switchblade - S/T LP
Nonesuch Explorers: Real Bahamas Vol 3, The Jasmine Isle, Savannah Rhythms, Guarani Songs & Dances Of Paraguay
VA - Japan Bashing Vol. 1 7" EP
Geraldine Fibbers - Dragon Lady 7"
New Age Steppers - My Love 7"
Weekend - The View From her Room 7"
Fad Gadget - King Of The Flies 7"

Spinanes - Manos

Neat! Fun record.

You are right. Mensii did lots of interviews denying any racist connotations, and this was before right-wing skinhead bands became a 'thing' as such.

Got this RAD Mexican rock compilation today for three bucks. Man.

http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-405536187-onda-juvenil-teen-tops-blue-caps-las-moskas-enigma-lp12-_JM

Title track from this might be the best thing on it. (Didn't know some of these bands were from other parts of Latin America.)

http://www.discogs.com/Los-So%C3%B1adores-Vida/release/4122409

Really good cover of "Venus" by Las Moskas.

http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2832594

checked out Black Gold Records in Carroll Gardens BK last night (shopping around for my new go-to spot, Academy was a hike for me to get to from home anyway so fuck 'em)

it was ... just ok. all used stuff so kind of a crapshoot. think I'll just check their blog and if they post about buying a cool collection I'll swing by. they had a lot of obscure punk and alt-rock but mostly not the kind I'm looking for.

I got a Whatnauts 'Help Is On the Way' 12" and Yura Yura Teikoku 'Soft Death'/'Robot Deshita' remixes 12".

Dollar bin merenegue scores. Copped mostly on the strength of the awesome album art.

scored a copy of the 5 LP Virgo Four box this weekend. House rules the nation!

traded a guy my wilburn burchette 'occult concert' for these --
richard crandell - in the flower of our youth (orig)
klaus schulze - timewind

timothy & ms. pickens w/ natural act.

i like the the burchette, but i never listened to it. and it wasn't selling on discogs, even when i marked it down a bit. wanted the timothy & ms. pickens for a while. it's not the most consistent record in the world and there is some definite melodrama & oversinging going on, but i'm glad to have it. timewind cuz i was kinda missing the klaus schultze records i used to have.. i never had timewind. but i should hafe kept X and Mirage. I don't even remember when I sold them, but they must have gone at some pt cuz they ain't there anymore.

everybody's gotta come out to cali sometime for a records weekend sometime. we do swaps and thrifts and stores and estate sales and stuff. there's so many records here!

I've been meeting some cool diggers around here lately. There's a couple in a small town about twenty minutes from where I live who do stuff with the Numero group guys (who I also just met). This couple were really innaresting. They buy lps, but only to sell them. All they listen to at home is 45s. Dude bought the Pretty 45 "Mustache in Your Face" out of a car trunk in Kansas City, it's a new Numero relase.

http://i50.tinypic.com/mwqnnc.jpg

It's a book which includes a cardboard flap with a steel needle taped to it and a flexidisk that you spin with your finger.

Bought The Holydrug Couple's "Noctuary" (Sacred Bones) at their show last night at Death By Audio. Chilean psych-rock, worth seeing tonight at Mercury Lounge (with Follakzoid and La Big Vic) if you're into that kinda thing.

got a copy of nancy & lee for a buck at goodwill today. which is nice. i didn't have a copy. had one years ago, but it went somewhere. it's a kinda scuffy copy too, so i will hold on to it and not sell it

Bought The Holydrug Couple's "Noctuary" (Sacred Bones) at their show last night at Death By Audio. Chilean psych-rock, worth seeing tonight at Mercury Lounge (with Follakzoid and La Big Vic) if you're into that kinda thing.

Haha I learned yesterday that C00per Cr4in played synth in Follakzoid at the Mercury Lounge show. He did sound at their gig with Psychic Ills at the Empty Bottle in Chicago and hit it off with them. Their synth dude had to get back home, so they asked Coop if he could help out. They flew him out just for the one show. He said it went really well, though. I'm sure a collaboration is on the horizon at some point.

Digging Follakzoid and HolyDrug Couple fwiw.

ian, nice find on that chris smither. it's a surprisingly great album for being mostly covers in the mid-80s, and it's also super tough to find in the wild. one of the few legitimately good records on adelphi. do you dig that rockin foo, though? i wanted to but the vox rub me the wrong way.

There are plenty of good records on Adelphi! Well, at least all the Suni McGrath records, and tbe Gerry Goffin double, and Patrick Sky's dirty record. and I like the Sam Firk too.
Rockin' Foo is okay, for a buck I can't go wrong. Also, no one wants to buy that record so I may as well hold on to it.

for some reason I have no lime tangier pegged as a New Zealander, but he might be Northeastern US.

stumbled across them via a south korean ebayer for a very reasonable sum ;-)

only time i've actually found any shirley in a shop was a reissue of sweet england early last decade after reading about her in the mid-nineties in the electric muse: folk into folk rock book (which i heartily recommend). still remember the wtf is this look from the guy when i took it to the counter.

Ok that's a relief! Congrats on finding them! I found reissues of Folk Roots, New Routes and No Roses in Barcelona a few years ago and it was unspeakably exciting.
