M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

What, no..... uh...?

Bush Tetris (Andy K), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

err uh umm WOW

jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I'm anticipating almost none of that (or any) action on this one, I'm afraid

M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

also, I'll preempt the JB fanatics by saying "Night Train" was a single in '62 but an album track in '61. ergo its appearance and not "Lost Someone"'s

M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

what was that you said about not liking obscurantism?

jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

for its own sake. I don't like populism for its own sake, either. and not very much of this is obscure (African and maybe Jamaican stuff aside)

M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

holy cow!

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

(haha Elvis look for it in the sock drawer over the weekend)

M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

(you were talking about my JB defense, weren't you JBR? I just caught that, duh)

M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I would've put the Ten Troubadours' "San Parnyzo" on there instead of "Umbuzi". Better luck next time.


Aw, hell. I made that song title up. It looks great, Matos.

Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:47 (twenty-two years ago)

GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME (pls)

nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 31 January 2004 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

"hey Begs2Differ why are you staring at the computer and clapping?"

There is no answer. There is only the sound of clapping. CURTAIN.

Begs2Differ, Saturday, 31 January 2004 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

What, no ANGEL BABY?! No I've Told Every Little Star?!

may pang (maypang), Saturday, 31 January 2004 03:15 (twenty-two years ago)

And how do I get a copy of this?

may pang (maypang), Saturday, 31 January 2004 03:15 (twenty-two years ago)

matos have i told you lately that i love you?

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 31 January 2004 03:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Nice work, Matos.

(btw, did you ever get the four blanks I sent you in exchange for 1970 and 1980?)

jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 31 January 2004 05:58 (twenty-two years ago)

At first, I wasn't sure, because of the inclusion of The Tokens: “The Lion Sleeps Tonight," but then I saw the Raymond Scott AND you chose the correct Johnny Cash song, so I give it my stamp of approval.

David Allen (David Allen), Saturday, 31 January 2004 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Hurrah! More genius stuffage. :-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

10+ albums released this year and NO eric dolphy? :(

brains (cerybut), Saturday, 31 January 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

ten ric dolphy albums that is

brains (cerybut), Saturday, 31 January 2004 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

What's the deal with that live Dylan song?

Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Saturday, 31 January 2004 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I only have one Eric Dolphy album, brains.

haha David, "Lion" is the best track on the disc

the live Dylan came from a Japanese comp called Live 1961-2000

M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 1 February 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

twenty-two years pass...

I'm about to start listening to 1961. What if anything am I missing?

aww I miss these threads, the CDR700/800 was a cool format, I made a few BITD

I still prefer CD80 for maximum distillation but it's fun to do the long form thing, I guess Mixcloud is for that now?

vague facial gymnastics (sleeve), Sunday, 1 February 2026 23:17 (two days ago)

CaAL you are definitely missing at least one Julie London album

vague facial gymnastics (sleeve), Sunday, 1 February 2026 23:18 (two days ago)

yep, one, "Send For Me"

vague facial gymnastics (sleeve), Sunday, 1 February 2026 23:19 (two days ago)

oh wait this list is tracks, idk that Julie album so pick one I guess

vague facial gymnastics (sleeve), Sunday, 1 February 2026 23:19 (two days ago)

there's a ton of great Harry Partch stuff from 1962 but nothing from this year

vague facial gymnastics (sleeve), Sunday, 1 February 2026 23:21 (two days ago)

Hm, anyone aware of what the best tracks are on that Julie London LP?

Yeah 1962 has a lot more to investigate than 1961.

Dance Yourself Dizzy To The Music of Time (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 2 February 2026 08:54 (yesterday)

Great single from 1961: Joyce Heath - I Wouldn't Dream of It

Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 2 February 2026 11:12 (yesterday)

here's 5:

Dick Dale - Shake-N-Stomp
Etta James - Seven Day Fool
Joyce Davis - Stop Giving Your Man Away
Rex Garvin & The Mighty Cravers - Emulsified
Wanda Jackson - Tongue Tied

Colonel Poo, Monday, 2 February 2026 21:26 (yesterday)

Thank you all - shutting it down now before I get above 1500 tracks.
