hugo largo - drum / mettle
yoko ono - plastic ono band / life with the lions / A.I.U.
excepter - KA
neu! 4 (just checking to see if it's as bad as I remembered)
marshall mcluhan interviewed by dick cavett - wow - at one point he begins talking about 'motorcycle cops' and after the third mention of 'motorcycle cops' you can hear him pause, and begin using the term 'cyclops' instead to mean the same thing -- I really want to think this was an improv

Karen Dalton - It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best

hott.

horseflies - human fly ( i forgot all about this album! i hadn't heard it since the 80's. "neo-primitive bug music". more bluegrass bands should have tried to sound like the feelies.)

which was the one that "sally ann" was on? someone bought that for me many many years ago and i wasn't digging it except for that song. aren't they from, like, ithaca?

swans. lots and lots of swans.

also, illegal nurse with wound mp3 "compilation". many out of print albums for $15.00 infinitely better than paying some douchbag collector $40.00 for "Sylvie and Babs..." on amazon, via scratched CD.

DOUCHEBAG is douchbag spelled right.

stormy -- how is moondog comp? lots of uncollected stuff or?

― Igor Adkins (Grodd), Friday, 11 November 2005 10:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Up-Tight - 5 Psychedelic Pieces, this is great! Are LSD-March any good as well?
Love Live Life +1 - Love Will Make A Better You. It's pretty great, but they could've done without the American singer really. Every time he isn't singing I can sense him, flailing his hair around or "jamming" on non-mic'd bongos. Sometimes, a time and a place are no excuse.
Nini Rota - The Godfather soundtrack
Chicago - X. I got about 90 seconds into this one.
Next up after Up-Tight is the Vision Quest soundtrack, which I've been looking forward to ever since I picked it up in a charity shop yesterday for 69p.

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Friday, 11 November 2005 11:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Che Shizu - Nazareth
Urinals - Negative Capability
Half Japanese - Greatest Hits
Alvarius B - Blood Operatives
Hawkwind - Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Faust - So Far

Frankie Avalon - Venus 7" I must have played this a gwillion times in the last two weeks. It's zoned in from another , er.... zone.

― MESTEMA (davidcorp), Friday, 11 November 2005 13:48 (eighteen years ago) link

nooze item: nurse with wound rumored to be playing Philadelphia soon (word comes through Whitehouse's publicist.)I don't know about any other dates.

m.,

the silver jews record is great, better than i thought it would be. gotta write a review for seattle weekly of it, like, today.

broadcast killed last night.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 11 November 2005 15:50 (eighteen years ago) link

i thought broadcast were kinda boring. i left midway thru their set to get some cheeze fries.

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:00 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah i didn't think you'd like them since you don't know their songs, but since i'm familiar with 'em, i thought they were great.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:13 (eighteen years ago) link

nicole liked em a lot. i was like "meh. indie rock." and i was hungry for cheeze fries.

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:14 (eighteen years ago) link

they were a lot better than that fucking middle band! why the fuck was tralala on before them, i have no idea.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:22 (eighteen years ago) link

JC, I'm not entirely sure exactly how much of the Moondog thing is previously unreleased. I haven't bored into it and compared tracks with the other officially released stuff. Hopefully this weekend when I have some time I can have a Moondog fest. I had to buy it though, the package looks great, cover repros, double-vinyl, etc. I think I would want it whether it has any rare stuff or not. it's Moondog, you know?

Up-Tight - 5 Psychedelic Pieces, this is great! Are LSD-March any good as well?

Yeah, they have a track on that comp I played as well. Totally great. Seeking a copy of their rare 1st one...

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:23 (eighteen years ago) link

that middle band was the most half-assed A Minor Forest rip off I have ever seen.

and on top of that? British and douchey.

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:24 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, they were terrible.

my drinking schedule before tonight's broadcast gig has been amended. i didn't like new joos at first, but last Saturday night I got drunk at the record store and we had it cranked. It sounded pretty good then.

right now i'm listening to sigh - imaginary sonicscape.

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:34 (eighteen years ago) link

what record store you work at?

not that i'll get to philly anytime soon, but...

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:36 (eighteen years ago) link

"work." spend way too much time in AKA (on N. 2nd) for my own good. saturday nights are good for drinking and cranking up the stereo (no boss, stay open late, usually not busy.) xpost

if you get the chance, visit the hottie at Record Surplus. they're my fave store for old jazz, country, blues, '60s and '70s rock.

JON and IAN and I were watching RUBBER O CEMENT in BrookLYN and TONY CONRAD turned around and looked at IAN and I and made a funny face about 2 minutes into their set.

Rubber O Cement is Grux's (Caroliner) other band. Last time I saw them they were out of their element (NYC, 3/04, No Fun Fest) Tony Conrad was standing in front of me (and littlest ND Ian Johnson) and he looked at us and just scoffed and walked around me. I ROFLLE'd.

-- gygax! (gygax0...), November 11th, 2004 4:10 PM. (gygax!)

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Sunday, 13 November 2005 19:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw them a year ago at No Fun Fest, they were pretty funny for a about 5 minutes. Ian Johnson was standing next to me and about 2 minutes into there set, this older man in front of us turns around and gives us this "WTF THIS SUCKS" scowl and then scoots between us to head downstairs. That man: Tony Conrad. ROFL.

Pere Ubu - 390 Degrees of Simulated Stereo, Ubu Live Vol. 1 (three tracks from May '76 final gig w/ Laughner/Wright/Taylor lineup on which they kind of sound like THE SEEDS)

i liked it for the three years i was there for school, but i don't know if i could live there. the music scene was pretty lousy, limited to mostly jam bands and horrible touring acts (the biggest concerts while i was there were blues traveler and rusted root), although I'm sure Johnny Down does some hometown shows here and there. pretty good cinema scene, though, between the arthouse theaters and Cornell Cinema. Tons of bars, but also a pretty lame white baseball cap-centric social scene. The record stores are (or were) horrible: Sam Goody at the mall, a couple of overpriced and limited-selection stores by Cornell, with the best being the used records they sold in the basement of Autumn Leaves, which is a bookstore on the commons.

But it's a generally liberal city, there's lots of wine-tasting to be done around the area, decent restaurants, the geography of the finger lakes region is really beautiful, and it's a safe place to live. i do think it's a better place to go to school than to live permanently, though.

― gear (gear), Sunday, 13 November 2005 22:09 (eighteen years ago) link

i just remember everything there being really expensive. like there wasn't much for non-rich kids to do except drink coffee. and if you venture out into the surrounding piss-poor towns (hello upstate!) there's even less to do if you're not an alcoholic or a methhead.
