i went record shopping for the first time in a month yesterday and bought a bunch of klunkers :(

Bruce Mackay - s/t (acid folk on ESP side label. it might grow on me, but i feel like i paid too much money for an OK album)
Lou Reed - The Bells (the one i actually like the most. has a great rack "disco mystic" that sounds like something off iggy's solo records like 'sister midnight' or something)
No Way To Treat a Lady soundtrack
The Next Man soundtrack
Equis soundtrack

tracking:
jason forrest remixing melt banana
jan jelinek(?) "Hub Tierbeobachtungen"
queen
future pilot aka terri mitti bani
yes
excepter punjab
pj harvey white chalk
tuxedomoon "the waltz" from crammed global soundclash v/a
magnetic fields "three way"
twelve rangers tracking crap i'm trying to get in order

the bells is lou's weirdest album, crepey songs about his family. i kind of hate that band too but 'disco mystic' is fascinating chant totally in that iggy/idiot groove. don cherry plays trumpet on this record but oh man lou's voice is just RUINED & hard to listen to cause he was coming off a four or five year speed-shooting binge.

Wobbly
Asobi Seksu - Citrus
Boards of Canada - Hi Scores EP

i like the bells. we listened to iggy's party on sat am, theres a plain odd one for ya. more silly synths and inherent creepiness...it made me realize, all over again, that it must be really strange being iggy pop.

Irmin Schmidt - Filmmusik 5
High Rise - Live

Deerhoof - Milk Man
Stravinsky ballets
various Schoenberg

Miles Davis - Live Evil, esp "Funky Tonk"

i can't believe jaxon had never heard disco mystic until today!!!!

i heard it a few months ago, but finally picked up the lp. it's right up my alley.

he sounds like beelzebub...disssscko.....dissscko myssssticck

benjamin britten - sinfonia da requiem/four sea interludes
jackie mclean - it's time

david lee myers & asmus tietchens - 60:00
mike oldfield - five miles out / amarok (oh dear I still love these)

the poets (immediate collection of singles and acetates and stuff)

monochrome set - jacobs ladder 12 inch (god, how much do i love that yo ho ho instrumental! not as much as starry nowhere, but close.)

gruppo sportivo - 10 mistakes (dutch version. MUCH superior to the american version. this original track-list is perfect. and this version is definitely on my top 100 albums of all time list. if i had one.)

angela bofill - angel of the night (the last time i played "i try" i broke down crying. it reminds me so much of my dad. er, not that my dad is dead or anything. just memories...)

STORMY I THINK YOU MIGHT LIKE THE NEW HOWLIN RAIN ALBUM. I REALLY LIKE IT.

easley blackwood - microtonal compositions

Maroons in dis house! do you like his stuff, Milton? i don't think I've ever heard him actually...

skot .. ok! I never heard of Howlin Rain i don't think ... but I will investigate... you've never steered me wrong! well, maybe there was that whole Keren Ann thing. but hey, I really like Nellie McKay (she was f'n GREAT on Prairie Home Companion last weekend) so we all have our thing.

i bought a Synergy record yesterday too! i got Audion. i've been meaning to pick up one of their LPs forever, and remember dan telling that story before, but never went about buying one until i heard a track on dreamchimney yesterday. cool shit.

a few other dollar records i bought:
Space People - mini LP
jan akkerman - s/t
micheal shrieve w/klaus schulze & kevin shrieve - transfer blue station
steve kahn - tight rope
isley jasper isley - broadway's closer to sunset blvd

i like the larry fast action on this record:

http://tralfaz-archives.com/coverart/N/Nektar/nektar_recyclef.jpg

i like the synergy stuff too. i think i have all those records. haven't played them in a long time though. i should play them.

Home Blitz: s/t

sometimes on vacation i'd rather just go to the nice stores, pay more money, but get definite good shit.

-- jaxon, Tuesday, February 26, 2008 5:53 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Link

if you're on vacation i wouldn't go to the thing. maybe duck in for ten minutes to experience the wtfness of it all and run down to see ian.

for nice places that cost more, i'd rec an east village loop, something like other mus>downtown gallery>jammyland quick walk to ave a good records nyc>a-1>nu academy east

yeah, ave a is where i usually spend the bux. i bought a buncha nice things from ian last time too. we hugged. he gave me discount. it was all worth it.

what'd soundlibrary turn into again? 2 stores, right?

v/a - radio java
v/a - night recordings from bali
grateful dead - s/t
grateful dead - anthem of the sun
grateful dead - aoxomoxoa
grateful dead - workingmans dead
grateful dead - american beauty
butterglory - are you building a temple in heaven?
dinosaur jr - youre living all over me
cluster - sowiesoso
blues control - s/t
high places - 3/07-9/07 (not sold on this)
dirtbombs - we have you surrounded

sound library moved down under delancey in LES proper, while one of the partners broke and opened his own shingle on like ave a and 12th. big city records i think?

Aw PS, I liked High Places so much live! Recordings possib not as good.

wow i am behind the curve. lotta changes. xp

Ian's the best thing that's ever happened to NY record shopping. For noize boarders at least.

ill def see em sometime, but i dont know. the record just sounds like a half-baked microphones or something. and her voice is just an indie voice, nothing all that special.

haha dan so true

when i went to see ian i think he was out buying w33d. then we went to some old man bar and drank giant pitchers or beck's or st. paulie girl or something.

I wasn't that impressed by Sound Library when I went there last summer. They didn't even have anything that cool on their walls. And the prices, oh, new yawk, you slay me. Every other record seemed to be priced at 30 dollars no matter what it was. In honor of my surroundings though, I bought my brother-in-law a pretty cool prog/psych record on Vertigo for...30 dollars. they did have my fave Tropea album for cheap though, and i actually said to the dude behind the counter incredulously, "hey, that's a good price!" like i couldn't believe it. he told me to go back to martha's vineyard and to never ever come back.

http://www.rekord.net/cover/bigthumbs/rekord.4860.jpg

basically, i went thru that whole store and the only stuff i saw that i would have wanted were way overpriced hard rock records. i actually saw better selection and way better prices at that cake shop place that we went to for the bunnybrains show. (better selection of hard rock records. or the kind i like anyway.)

scott, is that tropea album the one with Just Blue on it? love that song to death. i almost bought that album once but then put it back. oh well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy9looAELis

milk'n cookies - s/t

cake shop does have cool stuff

lotta weird local records and cdr's on consignment

Is the consignment section separate?

I think so? I got some handmade Little Claw cdr there. I think a lot of it is just merch dropped off by the bands that play downstairs

really love that synergy lp.

this is bullshit compared to arise and beneath the remains.

i know man. i haven't listened to roots in ages though, figured i'd listen to it.

some of it's pretty good. the rest is really turgid nu-metal shit

Man, this pilooski edit of the Pointer Sisters has been ruling my world for 2 weeks now.

have you heard the Danny Gold - Throwdown one? I've had that shit on repeat, so good

dump - a plea for tenderness
oblivians - sympathy sessions
scientists - pissed on another planet

"this is bullshit compared to arise and beneath the remains."

hardly anyone heard it, but believe it or not, the LAST sepultura album was awesome.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/Sepultura_-_Dante_XXI.jpg

yeah, I get the emails from dirty about pilooski edits for dl'ing and got that one w/ pointer sisters and del shannon, It didn't rock me as much though.

I always thought I was the only person who knew Beggin was such a funky song as I came at it through oldies fandom, though I did later hear the Timebox version which is known by some disco heads. But both the Pointer Sisters and Beggin' were Northern Soul cuts, so that gives some insight into where he's coming from.

the Del Shannon I didn't like as much but I think the Danny Gold is crazy

13 minute prog/fusion/soul epic "I Can See The Sun In Late December" is my jam!

yep pretty amazing no leonardo for this

listening to Huun-Huur-Tu recording sessions I engineered two nights ago, including 10 minute improv piece where I sat in on piano (my best Feldman impression). we didn't get as much done as we could have because we spent a lot of time listening to what we'd recorded at halfspeed. they'd never heard themselves played back at halfspeed.

also, lot of great stuff on this: http://direct-waves.blogspot.com/2007/02/va-electro-acoustic-music-from-sweden-2.html
