Randy Newman 12 Songs

I was under the impression that I hadn't actually BOUGHT an album in ages, but then I remembered I picked up used vinyl copies of both when I was in State College around xmas.

― 'Twan (miccio), Friday, 6 January 2006 00:59 (twenty years ago)

Hector Lavoe - "La Voz" (Fania - 1975)

I don't have that, but I recognize some of the songs on it (as classics). I probably should have it. You found that on vinyl? I don't collect vinyl, so I don't know how difficult that would be to find, but he's so well-loved that I would think it might be difficult to find used.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Friday, 6 January 2006 01:00 (twenty years ago)

it's a great record. and, yeah, vinyl. the brazilians here don't buy vinyl. i've got the market to myself.

"the brazilians here don't buy vinyl."

way too many christian CDs at the brazilian stores here. but they are always good for the occasional dance music comp or rap cd.

From a charity shop, where I got into a conversation with the French woman behind the counter about "that singer who died in his bath", Claude Francois - specifically about whether it was a radio that fell into his bath and electrocuted him (my theory) or it was an electric fire that fell into his bath and electrocuted him (her theory):

"Where are you are you that there are so many Brazilians?"

martha's vineyard island. big brazilian population here. at least 5 churches and 4 stores.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 6 January 2006 13:31 (twenty years ago)

There are lots of Brazilians on Martha's Vineyard now? I lived and worked there for a while, years back. There were always lots of Portugese -- like all of southern Massachusetts and Cape Cod -- but they weren't Brazilian at all, mostly fishing people whose families hailed originally from the Azores and Cape Verde islands, also Portugal itself. Lots of linguica pizza, kale soup, and sweet bread. (Back then, all they bought was vinyl, of course, but it was mostly disco or Fleetwood Mac, like everyone else.)

― Vornado, Friday, 6 January 2006 14:36 (twenty years ago)

there have always been lots of portugese in massachusetts, rhode island, the cape, etc. going back to the whaling days. but, yeah, now there are lots of brazilian people too. have been for quite some time. they are doing the american dream thing. mowing lawns or building houses for ten years, never spending a dime(brazilian restaurants on the island have a hard time cuz the brazilians never spend money eating out), then starting their own businesses, buying land, getting rich. well, not everybody. but they do okay. they basically took over all the jobs that vacationing college kids used to do. vacationing college kids don't come here like they used to. too expensive.

Riz Ortolani's soundtrack to the infamous gorefilm "Cannibal Holocaust" is completely stunning: syrupy mellotron instrumental literock ballads, sweeping orchestral weepers, phaser funk and disco, bizarre Captain n Tennile on a steamboat 70s pop- this thing is awesome! The fact that it was the score for such a greasy grimey gorefest makes it even more odd and perfect.

Ghost - Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet

... title track is a 33 minute psychedelic freakout, so that's good obviously. Howevah, the rest of the album consists of drippy hippy-dippy "Hello trees, hello flowers" psych-folk nonsense (of the sort a lot of people (too many) seem to be indulging in, and for which I recommend the administering of a swift kick in the nads for trying to get away in this day and age)
