sick rev ensemble scores!! i traded my copy of VIETNAM to pete smith, so i need another one. love those frank lowe records.. not sure if i've heard rivers "hue." who plays on it? also need another copy of geechee recollections.. gave mine as a bday present ages ago.

over the years i've tended to sell/trade good impulse/outjazz stuff cuz that's what i do and now i just want my own damn copies of everything. cuz its where my head is at these days.

i like that marcello melis record. recent finds:

the kinks - arthur (original nz pressing)
miles davis - a tribute to jack johnson
marion brown - vista
burton greene trio - on tour
peter lemer quintet - local colour
shirley collins - false true lovers
malicorne - vol. 2
veronique chalot - a la'entree du temps clair
john fahey and his orchestra - of rivers and religion
john fahey - blind joe death (seems to be a reissue of the 1964 version except it's got the track he added to the 1967 rerecording appended to the end)

sooooooo jeeeeeeeal

<3 of rivers & religion. underrated fahey imo. chris darrow's mandolin on "dixie pig bbq" is killer

yep, on first hearing it: "that's some nice mandolin playing", then looked at the credits and there you go.

made out pretty well in omaha and des moines, and annie's mom is delivering 800 LPs from KHSU to me tonight!! more to come...

Hey Pete, I'll buy any lounge records you find!

^^may come in handy <3

you can put me down for old-time/folk/fiddle etc, but you knew that already

shipment 1/3 of KHSU stuff is a liiiiiittle junky... lotsa 80s college rock stuff. ill look through everything, and then have a kickass dollar bin for a few months, along w a few lil treasures, im sure.

you have to tell us everything you got.

hahahaha ok

first three SLAP records
paul williams someday man WLP
ummm i forget what else

you have to tell us everything you got

80s college rock stuff

I KNOW I KNOW

it is Slap with a ! as in Slap! i had one of those. not bad. and that's a solid paul williams album. so far so good.

these guys: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Slap+%282%29

oh no wait i know which slap you mean. i would totally buy those if i saw them cheap.

yeah, i never see those. i love that kind of thing. and they are sorta collectable. so far you are batting a thousand!

okay, seriously though, i wanna know what else was in the boxes.

im at work right now! ill write some more stuff down tonight and tomorrow morning, i swear...

i'm just bored. the stuff you got at that sale was so cool though.

man, it was! i mean, there is bound to be some cool stuff in these (and the remaining 12 still up in arcata) boxes, too. but like -- i dont think im gonna find too much more stuff on par w the suicide bridge or 24 carat black or shamek farrah...

PROVE ME WRONG O LORD

you might be surprised. i'm always surprised by what's still for sale at the end of the day at a record show or sale or even records sitting in record stores that have obviously been there for a while. most people - even shifty record-selling types - are looking for the same stuff. the weird stuff gets ignored because people don't know what it is.

yeah, im definitely gonna do some research on even the turdiest-looking major-label things!

moe handy is coming over w the kids for pizza tonight, and if anyone besides you can spot some major-label turd diamonds in the rough besides you, scott, it's him.

traded in abt four boxes of stuff today, got these and a couple hundo in cashola--

piano choir - handscapes
daniel bachman - lord i'm a sinner
richard youngs - summer through my mind

Omar Khorshid - Guitar El Chark
Jessika Kenney & Eyvind Kang - Aestuarium
The Underneath - Lunatic Dawn Of The Dismantler (been looking for years, so happy)

Andrew Liles - 6LP box of Current 93 remixes for real cheap via FE
Alvarius B - Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On
Yeti #12 w/7" EP

I was trying to slow my roll a bit because I really just have too many records, but I broke the fast today. Stopped by Goodwill with the excuse of looking for some Halloween costume accessories, dug through the stacks, limited my pile to 9 records and was about to leave when I did a last-minute perimeter sweep. Saw the corner of a 70's Columbia logo in a cardboard box under a table, and ended up with another 90 45s.

Mostly Country DJ Promos, some song poem type stuff.

Stevens Express sounds crazy

I've been working on a lounge mix and I couldn't choose a Stevens Express song that fits, it's such a horribly mundane but completely weird record, so instead I'm going to post the whole record on my blog, along with their only 45.

robbie basho - the art of the acoustic steel string guitar 6 & 12 (one dollar!)
dillard and clark - through the morning, through the night (four dollars!)
the highwaymen - s/t (two dollars!)
bonobo - the north borders

dang, that's a helluva bargain!!

We saw signs for an estate sale way out in the country in a barn and decided to go. They had boxes of 45s and I went all of them. It was mostly country, doo wop, 50's teen pop, stuff I know nothing about, so I bought all of the off label stuff I found and just found this in the stacks along with early Mickey Gilley and a few early canjun 45's. Still sorting through them.

NICE.

love early cajun stuff... sounds so great and hot at 45.

wtg jacob!

There were all of these early mercury George Jones, early Conway Twitty, Jerry Lee Lewis on Sun and loads of Elvis on RCA, they were all .25 cents each, but I backed out of buying them all.

jacob if you don't have this its really good. not saying you need this copy, but if you see it somewhere...
