HELP: Nina Nastasia "Dogs" CD

FYI, her new record is out (!!!), according to this. You ATP folks in the UK should be seeing her there. You really should.

And apparently she's just finished recording her third one too... smashin'.

June 7th sees the re-release of the rare album ‘Dogs’ by New Yoiker Nina Nastasia.
‘Dogs’, previously unavailable in the UK, was engineered by Steve Albini and has been described as hypnotic, luscious and timeless - which is generally the best way to describe Nastasia herself.

The release follows a UK tour, which includes a set at All Tomorrow’s Parties on April 2nd.

Nastasia and her regular band members will be joined by Kaigol-Ool Khovalyg and Sayan Bapa, the two founding members of the legendary Tuvan band Huun Huur Tu. They will be playing the igil (a Tuvan horse-hair instrument).

Catch her UK live shows at the following venues:

Just found an original copy of "Dogs" (Socialist) for a buck!

dooood that hella hard to find!

such a great record she is an inspiration IMO.

she has two x new ones soon?, new one soon and then a live one i think
piano and pronounciation of 'because you have to' on brad haunts a party are rad

she has two x new ones soon?, new one soon and then a live one i think

i have not heard this but that is great news

i saw her on the last tour with jim white, man what a show.

A new album entitled "Mine the Bird", has recently been completed and is scheduled for a winter 2009 release.[3] Titles include: "It's A World Of Dirt I Know," "Memories Of Angela Vine," "You Might Always Feel Alone," "How I Like A Fight," "I Can't Mend This," and "Take Your Time."[4]

As well as a new studio album, Nina has announced plans to release a live album in the coming future. Accompanied by string players, Nina will perform two dates at the Hideout in Chicago on the 26th and 27th of July 2009 which will be both filmed and recorded. It is currently unknown whether the shows will be filmed for a DVD.

Dogs on Socialist for a dollar is an incredible bargain! Anyone know how much it goes for? I've never seen a copy on eBay.

I was actually looking it up just to find out, but I haven't seen that version on ebay or anything yet.

It was in the dollar bin at my local record store, its not like I found it on Amazon or anything either.

thread revive reminded me that i never downloaded dogs from emusic. remedying that now. i was just listening to on leaving and you follow me a few days ago. i have a hard time explaining to people what distinguishes her from other folky-girls-with-guitars, but i really dig her thing, whatever it is.

You Follow Me is the next one I want to get.

I've tried to like her, I really have, but it just doesn't work for me. The main problem is that most of her songs are just too short. They sound provisional, as though something more exciting is just round the corner, but it never arrives. Plus, I saw her live last year and it was a shockingly throwaway, indifferent performance.

Somehow Run to Ruin is the only one of her records I've really found compelling.

I haven't gotten that feeling with her anagram, but I know what you're talking about as applied to other bands (I can't think of specifics right now).

The part of 'Run All You...' from The Blackened Air when the band comes in gives me the chills every time, just wish it went on for longer.

her concision is part of what i like about her. the songs are like glimpses. she also has i think a real instinct for melody. there are tunes. so many art-folky types sort of neglect that end of things. and i just really love her voice. it's not big or showy, but it's got depth.

For me, The Blackened Air is her finest album; so many great songs, and the production is just stunning.
Everything beyond that has been diminishing returns, although all of her albums have some amazing moments in them.

My copy of Dogs on Socialist cost me about £20, secondhand from an ex WFMU dj, probably about the time this thread started. I don't think I've ever come across another copy for sale, so I'm really curious if it's worth anything since the reissue (the Socialist packaging is much nicer.)

Evan, if you want to double your money, I'll give you two bucks for it!

What an offer!

I still have the original that I found for a dollar in 2009.
Was curious...
