the only dan melchior recording i have is his collaboration with holly golightly. i really quite like it, it's pleasantly lo-fi. what are the albums of his that you have like?

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 November 2005 09:36 (twenty years ago)

that one is really good, yeah. his other stuff is really heavy garage rock, very unlike desperate little town. i might suggest the next step being the collaboration he did with billy childish that i mentioned up yonder...

― gear (gear), Thursday, 24 November 2005 09:38 (twenty years ago)

noted

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 November 2005 09:45 (twenty years ago)

however all his work is great.

Thee Headcoatees - Punk Girls

I love this, especially the Lurkers cover.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 24 November 2005 10:13 (twenty years ago)

it s a pretty great looking list but i have heard a total of zero. so i can't comment

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 24 November 2005 10:52 (twenty years ago)

This is great too - Andre Williams - Silky

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 24 November 2005 10:54 (twenty years ago)

There are better Jazz Butcher albums than Big Planet Scary Planet, and MUCH better Virgin Prunes albums than A Hidden Lie. Take heart, and seek ye out!

The Headcoatees seconded. Other than that I'm unfamiliar with all of 'em.

My band cover the A-Bones' "I'm In With The Out Crowd" and it's a fantastic song, I haven't heard anything else by them but I imagine if it's as good as that song I'll like it.

I have Wailing With The Woggles which I picked up for 0.90p last week, it's a cracking record, they're touring the UK from Dec 7th onwards and they're supposed to be amazing live, we're supporting them here in Bristol on the 7th. I'm really looking forward to catching them.

That Jazz Butcher LP has Bicycle Kid on it though... And the Max Eider could probably use some remastering, but Rosemarie is a great song. Max didn't do enough to show off his guitarin' sxillz on that record.

'68 Comeback's Mr. Downchild is pretty cool. I like "Richman".

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 24 November 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

if i remmeber correctly (and i haven't heard it in years) "tobacco road" on that 68 comeback album is bad-ass. they really were a great band.

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 24 November 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

are they no longer an item?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 24 November 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

Stone Flower is underrated and great, A.C. Jobim recording with a real jazz band (Ron Carter on bass!) and not drowning himself in the usual icky strings that he and the producer were wont to apply, ketchup-wise, on recordings under his name.

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 24 November 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

I still have that Phono-comb album somewhere, though I haven't listened to it in years. But the mix of ex-Shadowy Men and Dallas Good made for a pretty good listen. If I remember correctly, they covered Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets. I also have a CD with Jad Fair fronting the band that was produced for some CBC radio show.

I'm intrigued by the Cannonball Adderly/Sergio Mendes album. I've never heard of it before. Any good?

"Con-Funk-Shun - Candy
James Cotton - 100% Cotton
James Cotton - High Energy"

How is that Con-Funk-Shun album? A pal of mine put a track of theirs on a mix but I never really tracked anything down.
The James Cotton stuff is pretty solid, though I don't know it as well as Dabrye.

And a friend of mine was just trying to convince me that I need to buy that Woggles album, but I didn't have enough cash on hand...

The Rob Schwifft LP is one of the most listenable turntablist album releases.

― blunt (blunt), Thursday, 24 November 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

the Cannonball Adderley album is quite good. I've never seen it anywhere else, I bought it in the basement of a used bookstore for $1 back in '99. It's a re-release of one of his other bossa nova albums.

The Con-Funk-Shun album is fucking fantastic. "Let Me Put Love On Your Mind" is one of the best soul ballads you're ever likely to hear.

The A-Bones...proof that eighties music wasn't all lame! Seriously, I haven't listened to I WAS A TEENAGE MUMMY (or the TEMPO TANTRUM EP) for a while now, but I was a big fan. I was also into Barrence Whitfield & the Savages fan around that same time, and I associate the two of those acts together as far as 50's rock & roll with a 60's garage attitude.

James Cotton's 100% COTTON is suprisingly good and straightforward. Because it's on a major label (Buddah) and is from '74 (or was it '75?), you'd kinda expect it to be more "album-rockish," with a mess of English rock stars helping him out, but no - it's just a wailing Chicago blues band at work, and the closest thing to a rock star on this LP is Lennie Baker (the sax player from Sha Na Na, who were on the same label).

The Watts Band album is prime 1969 houseparty funk and is mostly live. The Boogaloo Joe Jones is really good soul-jazz; he repeats a lot of licks on the guitar when it comes time to take a solo (so much for improvisation), but it's still alright by me.

My buddy Shane is the drummer on the American Death Ray record with the long title. I Love 68 Comeback. I'm on vacation in Memphis right now.

― Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Friday, 25 November 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

I used to go-go dance with the Woggles when I lived in Athens. That's some good garage right there
