The Last Five records you bought pt 2 (The one-year anniversary edition!)
No, the real question is how many of those 2001 records have you hocked or thrown away in slimey penis-eating disgust.

500% Dynamite, Studio One Soul, Studio One Roots (all double lps) and ESG - A South Bronx Story (cd) -- all on Soul Jazz; and Back to the Old School - Sugar Hill Club Classics (double cd).

500% Dynamite, Studio One Soul, Studio One Roots (all double lps) and ESG - A South Bronx Story (cd) -- all on Soul Jazz; and Back to the Old School - Sugar Hill Club Classics Vol. II (double cd).

KEITH, WHAT LABEL IS THE CLOSE LOBSTERS REISSUE ON? I CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ON IT. THANKS IN ADVANCE. I HOPE YOU SEE THIS.

Toby > Uh sorry, my lips are sealed. You can always email me at nathalie@stevienixed.com and I might be able to help you out. Upload it on my server space. If you are nice. ;-)

KEITH, WHAT LABEL IS THE CLOSE LOBSTERS REISSUE ON?

....in hopes of not stepping on keef's toes,you can find out a bit more he re.

I got:

Cash Money Millionaires - Platinum Instrumentals

My Dad Is Dead - Out of Sight Out Of Mind

Throwing Muses - s/t

Big Tymers - Hood Rich (album of the year y'all, unless the upcoming Lil Wayne or Millionaires records are super-good, which they may well be)

South Park Mexican - Power Moves

Did everyone buy all these within the last day or something? I thought I was bad! ;-)

Last specific disc bought was the Episode II soundtrack...but not for myself, oddly enough.

The Deerhoof is entertaining -- wouldn't call it the best per se, but I've heard it more than once. :-)

''Band of Susans - Wired for Sound CD''

my god sean, you've got that (is it a double CD?)! Where did you get it and What do you think of it? (i haven't had time to go to any rec shops since our last meeting...).

GLOW PART TWO BY MICROPHONES IT WAS VERY BAD

I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, except for a very brief portion of the first disc that the clerk played me instore, thinking I wanted to hear it instead of just buy it. I found it at Abba-Zappa (they also have copies of Love Agenda and Here Comes Success at 10 dollars apiece as well, may well go back for the latter). Will let you know.

By the way, if you wanted to get any more vinyl, there's a collector store on Main Street, RIC Collectables, currently having a half price sale for the next two weeks. It seems a bit overpriced, but the half price thing makes it more reasonable. It's 155 Main, at Gerrard.

The OHM alb is awesome and highly recommended. I bought six rekkids last night totally on impulse. They are: * Alice Coltrane - Universal Consciousness
* Solomon Burke - Don't Give Up On Me
* Isan - Clockwork Menagerie
* Spoon - A Series Of Sneaks
* Phil Ranelin - Remixes
* Immediate Action (Hefty 2CD comp)

yeah, I've been searching for the 'wired..' rec for the early stuff (since I haven't seen any of the early stuff). Got the 'word and the flesh (awesome) and veil (heard it briefly, don't know yet). Love agenda and here comes success can also be found at neurotica. but yeah, let me know what you think of it.

there's a nice band of susans page here: http://www.monotremata.com/bos/

This is an excerpt from the FAQ: ''Page Hamilton left BOS to form his own band Helmet, which you already know unless you have been living in a cave for the last few years.''

I didn't even know that helmet existed! and wouldn't have known if it wasn't for the band of susans site.

''Alice Coltrane - Universal Consciousness''

good choice mark!

Now what do I do with it, Julio?

You trip the light fantastic.

Peven Everett - Speed of Light
Hanna - Contemplating Jazz
Bobby Konders - A Lost Era in NYC 87-92
Osunlade - Paradigm
Various - Abstract Fusion 3

I don't know mark. I don't know what you do with CDs!

LCD soundsystem (shoulda remember trevah jackson's name was gonna be on it), angie stone's two albums, beenie man and a cassette boy record.

Belle and Sebastian- If You're Feeling Sinister
David Grubbs- Rickets and Scurvy
Songs:Ohia- Axxess and Ace

Another spree in the $1 section of Open City yielded 12 records, but most are just stuff like Blancmange and Jean-Michel Jarre and such that I won't listen to much, but a couple of real finds:

Lily Tomlin - This is a Recording
Dave Dudley - Greatest Hits (inspired to buy by recent ILM thread--with "Truck Drivin' Son of a Gun" and "Six Days on the Road"!)
Shelley Berman - Outside and A Personal Appearance

Also got a couple CDs since last update:

Band of Susans - Here Comes Success
Tom Robinson - War Baby (remastered version of Hope and Glory, it'd appear)

By the way, the Dave Dudley album RAWKS. I'm gonna have to get some more of this sort of stuff. Truck-drivin' songs are THA SHIT

Comsat Angels - Time Considered... BBC Sessions (most I've ever spent on a piece of music in my life - and fucking worth it!)

Comsat Angels - My Mind's Eye (amazing)

Ride - Smile (what the hell is up with the mastering job on this one?! - some great tunes, though)

Curve - Pubic Fruit (I like this better than Doppelganger - still a little slick for my tastes, and the lyrics aren't much, but works up a good swirl nonetheless) ;-)

Associates - Fourth Drawer Down (I'm completely, utterly obsessed with this CD right now - it hit me like a bolt of lightning)

Rye Coalition On Top Reindeer Section Y'all Get Scared Now
Suede Dog Man Star
Can Future Days - I am two minutes into the 3rd song on this and it's already the best CD I've bough recently. I didn't really know what to expect from this, so I'm happily surprised.

Clarke, I agree with you on the Curve CDs. :) Although they're both so good, Pubic Fruit spent months in my discman in college.

'Ballads' - Derek Bailey

'Arrange and Process Basic Channel Tracks' - Scion

'Moondawn' - Klaus Schulze

'Music from the Forests of Riau and Mentawai' - Smithsonian/Folkways 'Music of Indonesia' Series No. 7

'Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives' - Prefuse 73

Truck-drivin' songs are THA SHIT

Remind me to make you a copy of this homemade comp that will please you greatly.

Ride - Smile (what the hell is up with the mastering job on this one?!

If you have the original Sire release, it was indeed mastered from vinyl. D'oh.

Associates - Fourth Drawer Down (I'm completely, utterly obsessed with this CD right now - it hit me like a bolt of lightning)

What a wise young man you are. Was listening to Sulk last night and remembering just how great, all-enveloping and dramatic a song "No" is. Still some kinda genius.

Haco - Happiness Proof
After Dinner - Paradise Replica
Raymond Scott - Manhattan Research Inc
Various - Black Rio: Brazil Soul Power 1971 - 1980
Various - Boom Selection Issue 1 (this better be good, Scott)

5) Marzette Watts - s/t

1) Gillian Welch: Time (The Revelator); just the title song is worth the money, beautiful voice, lyrics and duo guitar play
2) Wilco: Being There; up till now I am underwhelmed
3) Boards of Canada: Music Has the Right to Children; I listen to this in the car which is dangerous as I frequently start daydreaming
4) Sonic Youth: Murray Street; a return to form, very good but not great
5) Yo La Tengo: "Underwater soundtracks"; some gems and some annoying pieces
6) Wilco: Summerteeth; great pop tunes

hello all. this is my first post on ilm though ive lurked around for 'bout a week and a half. you all seem like some interesting ppl, and i hope to be posting here some more.

last 5 albums bought:

susumu yokota - sakura do make say think - goodbye enemy airship the landlord is dead tanakh - villa claustrophobia polmo polpo - the science of breath sutekh - fell

last 5 album d/ls:

gastr del sol - camofleur capitol k - sounds of the empire bus - western ep acid mothers temple - in c background - futuristic experiments #004 (compilation)

Wipers boxset and Playgroup - DJ Kicks.

JC - is that "Babies Making Babies" comp as good as it looks on paper?

My last 5:
Big Jim Sullivan - Sitar Beat (RPM records reissue w/bonus tracks of library music: quite superb)
Akufen - My Way (also superb)
Mr. Lif - Emergency Rations
rjd2 - Deadringer
The Miss Kittin mix CD that came free w/ August's Muzik magazine

Some other recent goodies:
DJ Shadow - The Private Press
STARFLAM - Survivant (special edition reissue w/ bonus CD)
v/a - Mantronix: That's My Beat (another triumph for SoulJazz - contender for label of the year, surely?)

Bought:
Stevie Wonder: Music of My Mind
Adam Ant: Antics in the Attic
Received as gifts:

Sonido Isleno: Tres is the Place
Orqesta Gitano: Salsa Gitana
Rebeca Mauleon w/ Orestes Vilato: Round Trip

Bought as a gift:

Sun Ra: Greatest Hits

I suddenly had to get a copy of Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman," a childhood favorite, and still a song which amazes me. The Adam Ant purchase may represent an ILM influence, though I seem to remember thinking about it long before. I always kind of liked Adam Ant (soley on the basis of hearing him on the radio). I'm not sure how much I'm actually going to want to play this, but it wasn't too expensive and has most or all of the songs I would want (as far as I know). Tres is the Place is more or less a Latin jazz album, with strong enough folkloric elements to keep me happy, though some tracks feature the more smooth/fusion sounding Latin jazz I don't particularly like. The title track is particularly good. Some of it is pretty danceable. Orquesta Gitano is a West Coast ensemble playing in several different Latin styles. I haven't heard enough to have a strong opinion, but I think I like it overall. I don't expect to like the Rebeca Manolin CD, from what I've heard so far. Blah Latin jazz, to my ears. I gave the Sun Ra CD to the person who gave me these other CDs. I also was happily surprised by how much she seemed to appreciate "Space is the Place" when I played that song for her (from the Impulse album under the same title). When she first mentioned "Tres is the Place," she was unaware of the allusion being made.

Springsteen -- The Rising

And You Will Know Us.. -- Source Tags and Codes

But mainly I now have a record player again and I am listening to old records.

Jazzactuel box

Toru Takemitsu: I Hear The Water Dreaming

Anthony Braxton: Eugene, 1989

I also got these burned or for free and liked them immensely:

Chills: Submarine Bells

Paul Flaherty/Chris Corsano/Greg Kelley: Sannyasi

loads of wonderful stuff from Michigan's We're Twins label that I swear I'm going to write about soon

° Shapeshifter - Real Time (addicted to this - live organic NZ d'n'b & a reason to love Christchurch) ° Missy Elliot - Miss E ... So Addictive (geez! this is the aural equivalent of a high-end Square CG render or something, all surfaces of hallucinatory intensity) ° Pulp - We Love Life ('s odd. "Wickerman" is possibly the scariest song I've heard in ages, like "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" fermented & delustred) ° DJ Sir-Vere - Rapper's Delight (haha Mai FM's 10th anniversary comp but since my knowledge of RAP HISTORY is fairly poor I'm really enjoying it; plus his mixing skills are breathtaking) ° Human League - Greatest Hits (. . . I wish I'd heard this before I learnt the name of the random guy I started chatting with in an SF bar was Phil Oakey . . . "Don't You Want Me" is the new Best Song Evah!) ° The Corners Of The Mouth (random cheap ambient/dub/etc comp with Seefeel, Mouse On Mars, EAR, Oval, etc. nothing's registered so far, but in a good way)

Labradford- A Stable Reference
Pan American- s/t
Black Heart Procession- Three
Astrobotnia- Part Two (vinyl)

And I picked up Section 25 _From the Hip_ new as well.

Budgie-"sqwuak"....tried to mix those 70s drum fills with some house...sounded good too!

Bruce Springsteen-"Born in the USA"....Dave Q's enthusiasm is infectious

OMD-"architecture and morality"....this is far stranger than i expected

Motortown hits....but they arent the real Mowtown tunes...just covers with less adequate singers and no DAMN STRINGS!!! bah

Willie Nelson-"20 of the best"

Sunra- nothing is LP George lewis- solo trombone record LP AMM- combine+laminates+treatise '84 Albert ayler- lorrach/paris 1966 Blue humans- to higher time (live) sonic youth- Goo (casstte, only 2 quid!)

demarnia lloyd 'set upon a curve' cd(she's a goddess)

tall dwarfs 'sky above the mud below' cd(better than gluey gluey or whatever the last one was called but i'd rather have a new alec bathgate record)

royksopp 'melody am'(very nice)

manual 'until tomorrow'(much better than ascend which i still quite enjoy but this is amazingly pretty)

cex 'oops i did it again' not as good as role model.

1. Modern Lovers s/t-YES!!! 2. Television Marquee Moon-After years of inexplicable procrastination 3. Arvo Part Fur Alina-On ECM... 4. Pink Floyd Animals-I admit it... 5. Weatherall HyperCity

Sunra- nothing is

Julio, what other Sun Ra would you say this sounds like the most? I'm afraid it may be too chaotic for my taste, but I do like, for instance, "Other Planes of There" and "When Angels Speak of Love" (album). I'm about due for a couple Sun Ra CDs, except that I am trying not to buy any CDs for maybe another month.

Dream Command - Fire on the Moon

Ah, which you're going to give to me. Thank you. ;-)

Deraymi- I have only heard this once and I couldn't absorb everything in one listen (a good sign) (currently busy with work right now) but from that first listen I thought it was quite organised myself (it seemed that his piano was linking all the different sections but i can't remember). I'll listen to it before I go to sleep and I'll post something to the sun ra thread sometime tomorrow.

This is only my third Sun ra release. the soundtrack rec was the first, the live album 'It is forbidden' from an appearance in 1974 was the second (that's a stunning slab of vinyl).

In fact, I am going to concentrate on Sun Ra LPs and derek bailey for the next month or so. For the Lps it seems that the 60s stuff is readily available and that's what i'm going to.

''except that I am trying not to buy any CDs for maybe another month.''

good luck with that. I couldn't do it unless I was broke.

Ned, you mean I actually own an album that you don't?!?! Holy moley. Anyway, I'd be happy to burn you a CDR of it, perhaps in exchange for a CDR compilation of the pre-DI Go Pop singles or the early Chapterhouse EPs? Just get in touch with me, and we can work something out. ;-)

Besides, while it's no Fiction (or even My Mind's Eye), it's better than Mistah Kellman would have you believe!

good luck with that. I couldn't do it unless I was broke.

If it weren't for my world.com style accounting practices, it would be clear that I am broke.

deraymi- i revived the Ra thread

you mean I actually own an album that you don't?!?!

Treasure the day, young man. ;-)
