Man I bought this rare "loner folk" private press "classic" at a record sale... Turned out to be some sub-Dan Fogelberg sadsack covering Rainbow Connection by the Muppets
new board description
also basically that is like 75% of private-press folk records

Discogs sucks because a clueless store employee can look up that Archie Shepp record instead of throwing it in the $2 pile

ha well, none other than whiney says william tyler "finds common ground between the churn of contemporary country blues and the driving rhythms of krautrock."

i'm not sure what "contemporary country blues" means though.

trust me, you don't wanna know.
― ian, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:51 (ten years ago) link
i don't think it means what i think whiney thinks it means, in any regard.
it means keb' mo.
william tyler's music scans as super-American to me, which probably distracted me from any euro-influences.

Glad the indie shops do well n that with RSD but its not for me. I do think if the most popular items werent so limited the shops could do really well after RSD with ppl like us.
― Scooby Doom (۩), Tuesday, April 22, 2014 11:06 AM (49 minutes ago)
living in seattle, i'd begun to avoid RSD due to the crowding, gouging, weirdly distasteful nature of the thing. but out here in the sticks (styx), there isn't much interest, so i actually had a pretty good time. got there early, only about 10 people in the store, mostly dudes my age desperately clutching pearl jam / r.e.m. boxes. had plenty of time/space to dig around.
course, i spent WAY too much money on stuff i didn't need (what i spent for that not-otherwise-unobtainable jb's reissue being a real crime), but i suppose i'd have done the same if i were buying used albums for $5.
― katsu kittens (contenderizer), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 19:13 (ten years ago) link
xp tyler covers michael rother on his new EP so that's the direct link -- his stuff is definitely very americana overall imo.

ohim in no doubt if there was a record shop in my town id go down, if there was something i really wanted i may even head down an hour early but sadly its about 15+ years since we had an indie shop and not long after that our price/sanity entertainment buggered off. But im not spending a fiver on the train into glasgow to queue/squeeze into shops only to find what I want they didnt get/sold/ overpriced (£29 for the built to spill album? no thanks). I can still get that on discogs for that price but not paying it. And the thing i really wanted was £48.99. Im not spending that on 3 spacemen 3 12"s.The breadwinner lp coming from the usa with high shipping is still way cheaper than both.But hey, ppl enjoy it and shops do well, they arent gonna miss me. I just wish i could get into glasgow more often for record shopping to make up for it. I know there will never be a record shop in my town again nevermind a good one.

Eh RSD can't change the fact that there will be nothing cool or quirky in NYC left in 10 years because of rents etc

i'm skim skim skimming this thread and then i saw the word jaki and screeched -- is this for real or is this a joke i don't get?
i heard that jaki liebezeit was vacationing in oklahoma city and ended up playing drums on about half that album. you can tell, too, at least when you can hear the drum parts over the amplified melodica.

Kim's has a pretty significant mark-up on the list price for their new stock so I'm not surprised they're not able to stay in business.

do they actually markup from list or just actually charge list? i've seldom known a non-super-shady business to mark up above list.

"The Moles album showed up on Spotify (I'm just living with that at the moment). I guess I have to get the CD when it comes out, didn't realize how different some of the songs would be from what's on the Flydaddy Untune. Surf's Up, in particular, is just huge on the new one. I need their discography sorted out for me as far as different versions go, which I hope the reissue does in the liner notes."
the moles rsd thing is 2 vinyl albums and 2 CDs.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:43 (ten years ago) link
yeah, the two original Lps are on the two vinyl discs and the first CD, the second CD includes lots of rare stuff/singles/EPs that isn't on the vinyl. IIRC.
― espring (amateurist), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:46 (ten years ago) link
kind of weird way to package it. i think the CDs will be available separately, in a non-limited manner. don't know about the vinyl. for a run that was supposed to be just 300 copies I saw an awful lot of these locally. if anyone wants one for $42 plus shipping let me know.
― espring (amateurist), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:47 (ten years ago) link
i finally went record shopping in a real record store and i got the best stuff! and everything i got was cheaper than a ghostbusters picture disc:
