2013 scores

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
bernard parmegiani - l'oeil ecoute / dedans-dehors

I went to see the Legendary Pink Dots in Seattle (they were great) and got to hit up the awesome Wall Of Sound record store

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

in the mail:

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.

Not going to type them all up but here's 10 off the top:

Travis - To Be As Free As You (Unity) Upgrade copy, nice rural CSNY vibes
Frankie Brent - Are There Anymore Request-es? (Cutty) New Orleans lounge singer does R&B

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...

<3 delmore bros

i mean, i love left and hank and bill monroe too! i never really listened to wayne raney. honky tonker?

wayne raney was a vocalist and, i think, harp player with the delmore bros for some time. they play on some of his solo stuff, too. he was poppier and did a lot of hillbilly boogie stuff. some turds but some killer shit, too.

picked up the new lubomyr melnyk today. great solo piano jamz

very pete imo

There were a bunch of almost mint condition folk LPs at the thrift store. Couldn't just leave them sitting there. I actually thought I would flip them to one of the stores in town but the guy there didn't want them. So now I get to listen to them. Can't emphasize enough how beautiful these things are! Records look shiny and new, jackets incredible with almost no ringwear and great spines, original inserts, etc.
