"lovely gold" an old psych record by michael yonkers released on drag city

this is crazy

like mccartney writing for beefheart

or beefheart writing for mccartney

or something

surf guitar and weird harmonies and blues and freaky synths

you should love this

plus there are tim buckley vibes

yeah, this record is gorgeous. 'i knew you'd remember' slays me.
the reissue of Goodby Sunball is rad as well. both are MUCH better than that Michael & The Mumbles LP, which borders on nearly-unlistenable fidelity.

Want Goodby Sunball so bad. Lovely Gold is cool but not great to my ears. But then I liked the Michael & The Mumbles album.

Aw but man you can't even hear stuff on that record

has scott seward heard this?

somebody give this to scott seward for fucks sake

added bonus - hes a really really nice dude irl - seems kinda baffled by the fact that people care about his stuff

i haven't heard it! i dig his stuff. i should ask drag city for one for my column. they send me stuff if i ask nicely. though i think i asked for that street called straight reissue and they never sent me one. they did send me the endtables one though and i wrote about that.

haha scott how do you do that you are awesome

gg eileen tell me more of this dude irl

does he buy guitars from you???

well i do actually have a place to put it if i write about it. in a real magazine. most people send me digital promos though and 99 percent of the time i ignore those. which is why i never post to the metal thread anymore cuz i don't listen to the 50 promos i get in my e-mail every week.

oh man where are you writing besides decibel so i can subscribe already

though fwiw by "how do you do that" i meant "appear upon being summoned"

Aw but man you can't even hear stuff on that record

It's a little muffled but it sounds okay to me? Maybe my hearing is damaged in exactly the right way.

Grimwood is a good psych folk record.
doesnt sound nothink like beefheart or mccarthy though.

"though fwiw by "how do you do that" i meant "appear upon being summoned"

ah okay. i only write for decibel. i sneak psych reissues into my noise column.

i would try and write for other places if there were any i liked. i actually sent an e-mail to bad acid magazine telling them i'd be happy to write about reissues and stuff for them, but the guy just put out his last issue. i've never actually seen a copy either. the website just looked cool to me.

i really liked that REALLY noisy album he put out. i bought the vinyl. um, had a green cover. recent stuff. i think. i'd have to look it up. i still have the record somewhere.

well , he made a much better,noisier tecord as Michael Yonkers Band called Microminiature Love - which is an early punk garage 60's shit from hell.

that album's the eye, the rest is just pyramid.

_Bad Acid_ is done? They only announced they were going monthly in March (which seemed a bit ambitious to me). Don't recall hearing they'd managed it though.

I bought this LP from Psychedelic Steve when Plastic Crimewave played here in the Spring.
I really like it but I gave it to my friend, the Yonker's completist, just because it seemed like the right thing to do.
I love the song "Need Your Love" from Michael and The Mumbles.

pretty sure we had a thread for this tho it might've been sandbox era

sandbox era was like 3 yrs ago?

yeah, would've been around the time grimwood came out

oh i thought you meant this

by this I meant him

met him a few times, a real gentleman and a gem of minneapolis

by all means check out the records he's done with the Blind Shake, here's one

does he still play around? a few times friends of mine have gone to see him and i've missed out.
