so yeah if he played on it or produced it...pictures please.

tommy hoehn - losing you to sleep (such a great album. especially the track that alex co-wrote/plays on)(single with chris bell on it is likewise great)

actually, *did* that Gories LP ever come out on vinyl originally? I have the CD on Cherry Red, bought when it first came out because I've been a massive Gories fan ever since the first issue of 'Houserockin'. but I think I Know you Fine..' on the original Cherry Red issue may have been only on CD? but then i think Crypt reissued it with a lamer cover

man, maybe once every 5 years or so, I will actually hear "Cry Like A Baby" in a drugstore or waiting room or something like that, and IT MAKES ME IMMEASURABLY HAPPY!!

Chris sans mustache

that looks like a cool room to hang out in

would sit in chair and sip a manhattan in that room

High Priest and Feudalist Tarts (he covers B-a-b-y Baby on this one <3)

honestly, my fave Alex document may have never been released on LP. it's this damn thing :(

http://a31.idata.over-blog.com/280x280/0/24/04/68/album-11/Chilton1970.jpg

so damn good

thanks for this thread skot, it swings like "dalai lama"

i'll be totally honest and admit i've never heard a lick of any of the music on this thread except the chris bell album (because it was compared to dennis wilson). i've never really thought it'd be my thing. i'm not really into power pop or anglo styled stuff (never listened to the kinks either!), but.... where should i start?

the Big Star albums - #1 Record and Radio City (reissued together on one CD) and Third aka Sister Lovers (way more dark and fucked up but a lot of people's favorite)

Jaxon -- you should totally at least try one of the three classik LPs that are out there on new reissues. Get "Radio City" -- it's totally classic, you will love it! i think! There is an available recent 180 gram reish. beaut mix of power-pop and depresso dirges, top ten all-time stuff

third sounds up my alley. i actually just went to facebook and since all anyone could talk about was this, and post vids, i've remedied this situation. guess what? i actually like this a lot! especially the slower darker songs.

Yay!

i love you but you are such a goofball.

RIP Alex. 16 years old to 59 years old... 43 years of rock and roll.

i love you but you are such a goofball.

steve, u talking to me or alex? because, if i remember, you never listened to the beatles until last year

I never listened through the Beatles ***ALBUMS*** as an adult until this year... quite quite different imo.

But you, my friend, are just plain goofy. Maybe if he had used an arpeggiator on some old 12" you'd be blogging about it. You know he went disco for a short while too right?

He used to sing a great version of "Disco Lady."

but i don't listen to disco anymore!

:-/

holy shit you made steve shasta grimace

Since we're breaking some vinyl rules here, still love this bootleg CD cover:

Also, this alternate version of Radio City.

Back when TGI Friday's was a hip place to hang out.

He was touring on this when I first saw him:
