2013 scores

aside: whenever i think of white plains, i think of the Hit Man stories by Lawrence Block. His broker lives in White Plains, in a big old white house with a nice front porch, perfect for sipping iced tea.

Mmmm... a good iced-tea-style-porch is paradise.

so is killing ppl for money, apparently.
i really like the Hit Man books cuz they make a big deal out of the collecting impulse -- the hit man (Keller) is also a stamp collector and he ruminates from time to time on its essential meaninglessness/weirdness of desire for rare things with no real function.

a new one and some great quality second hand:
Daniel Lopatin & Tim Hecker - Instrumental Tourist
Bohannon - The Mighty Bohannon
Chic - C'est Chic
Giorgio Moroder - Midnight Express

blondes - swisher
factory floor lp
sabre - nightdrive to bolland 12"

this album which is my fave album of the month so far. never heard it before!

Toy Love - s/t
Bruce Langhorne - The Hired Hand
Uncle Wiggly - Across The Room and Into Your Lap

re: the 78 convo i missed the other day, the only time i found (well, tbh, my friend found them and texted me... i wasn't even there) pre-war string band shit in the bay was at the garage sale of r. crumb associates so that was a lucky fluke. pre-war hick and blues shit seems almost primarily a southern thing (maybe some chicago / mid-west for blues) which makes sense since most migration of southern folk happened during and after the war... that said, tons of great honky tonk and western swing and post-war blues 78s in cali...

this record shreds you guys. kinda in a ernie graham / brinsley schwarz / frankie miller vein but american. stoked to trade for a sealed copy yesterday at the KUSF swap.

a couple of weeks ago:

louvin brothers - tragic songs of life
dillard & clark - through the morning, through the night
the white brothers - new kentucky colonels live in sweden

today:
robert wyatt - radio experiment rome february 1981
johnny dyani - witchdoctor's son together
roy harper - sophisticated beggar, stormcock
michael chapman - wrecked again, playing guitar the easy way (with instruction booklet)
various - matchbox days (late sixties uk country blues comp with mike cooper, jo-ann kelly, wizz jones, etc)

now that's what i'm talking about.

dude, ian, i kinda want to keep that record. its no nice. i'm gonna take a hundred bucks worth of my records to the store to justify. unplayed promo. with a promo sheet with a nice note written by one of the dudes. and then another handwritten note by someone else that basically says: sheesh this is bleak.

I've never heard ernie graham, brinsley schwarz, or frankie miller, at least I don't think I have.

it's "so" nice

no worries!! i can't be buying records now anyway. keep that shit.
i only want fiddlin music, cuz it's in my price range.

also: brinsley schwarz "silver pistol" is such a fuckin great record...

man, your shop is so cool.

seriously

Wasn't even going to so to the swap meet this morning, but I did and ended up with this stuff for seven dollars:

Loretta Lynn - You're Looking at Country ('72)
Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton - Just the Two of Us ('68)
Herman's Hermits - "There's a Kind of Hush" b/w "No Milk Today"
The Tornadoes - "Bustin' Surfboards" b/w "Beyond the Surf" ('62)
Bobby Powell - "That Little Girl of Mine" b/w "C.C. Rider" (Whit, '65)
Don (Soul Train) Campbell - "Campbell Lock" b/w "Campbell Lock (Instrumental)"
The Goodees - "Jilted" b/w "Love Is Here" (Hip, '68)

The Don Campbell one is a funk record. He was a Soul Train dancer who did a dance called the Lock.

The Goodees one is a knockout. Not on Youtube, unfortunately. Closest thing I could compare it to is maybe the Feminine Complex.

i like the goodees album. "condition red" was their big one.

I'd like to have everything on Hip records!

Only a couple of references to "Jilted" on ilx. This is one:

I just got a comp with this on it - IT IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER RECORDED, CONTEMPLATED, OR DANCED TO, BY MAN OR BEAST!

never heard it! I only have a best of Jerry Jeff on CD. you find anything good at that stoop sale on the way to Lavendar Lake?

this was from that one guy's semi-permanent weekend stoop sale at 7th and Union. he's a little bit overpriced but usually has some good stuff.

i got a few things from the park place stoop sale -- it was my buddy miggy selling some of his excess stock. he's an ebay dealer mostly. i didn't get anything for myself, but some stuff to flip at the brooklyn flea record fair in a few weeks

jacob, you should check out:
brinsley schwarz - first 4 LPs (esp. silver pistol)
ernie graham - s/t (backed by brinsley schwarz)
frankie miller - once in a blue moon (also backed by brinsley schwarz)

records thrifted today -
plastic bertrand
pixies
elvis presley
buffalo springfield
saccharine trust
suburban lawns
iggy pop bootleg (VG some scuffings but nothing deep.)
wynonie harris collection on charly
flatt & scruggs

nice! which suburban lawns - the s/t?

no it was the more common EP. :(

http://www.eggcityradio.com/sharity/suburbanlawns.jpg

Cover's a bit ragged, could use some re-gluing.

there was also a copy of Legacy of Brutality but it was beat to heck so I left it.

i need that su tissue album. really want that. but i also kinda want the suburban lawns LP. i'll find one eventually.

Jeez, where do you find Saccharine Trust records in thrift stores :(

^^^^ ???

which one? I really need a copy of Surviving You Always, one of my single biggest "shoulda bought that" regrets.

that's the one i got!
in brooklyn. weird day. it's a place i don't think i've EVER found records before and usually just check in cuz it's near some other places and sometimes has books i want.

sacc trust album is in what i would consider VG shape on the B side and VG+ on the A side; there is what looks like a bit of groove wear on the last two tracks, some light scuffing etc. i can play it and give you more info if yer interested. cover has a bit of corner creasing and a punch hole.

yes please!

also this which i dig.
