Title: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: Misereatur on 05 Mar 2007, 13:25
I wanted to bump one of the Recent Purchases threads, but then I thought it would be better to just start a new one.

So, what have you bought recently?


I bought today:

Faun Fables - Early Song
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drg400/g454/g45444tjqej.jpg)

Acid/Freak Folk Dawn "the faun" McCarthy's first songs re-recorded. Amazing low-fi folk with four traditional songs. Khar, you'd probably love this, imagine David Tibet, only female.

Silver Jews - Tanglewood Numbers
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drh000/h067/h06714szrq8.jpg)

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drh400/h431/h43107cnuca.jpg)

Univers Zero - Implosion
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drg300/g332/g33277op4o1.jpg)

Expirimental Prog Rock/Avant Grade

Matthew Shipp - Harmony and Abyss
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drg400/g487/g48776woek6.jpg)

I love Shipp's groovy free jazz when he's with William Parker on Bass and that dude FLAM on samplers and programing. I dont really like his solo piano pieces and duo with Parker.

Oh man, this past week I received my latest order from Dischord.  Ironically, it was all bands that had/have Ian Mackaye in them.  I didn't plan it that way.  But:

Minor Threat Complete Discography on CD

Fugazi - Steady Diet of Nothing, In on the Kill Taker, End Hits, The Argument

The Evens - The Evens

And I am enjoying every single one of them.

Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: Inlander on 06 Mar 2007, 04:06
Man, gees, okay. In the last couple of weeks I've bought:

- "I Love My Jean" single by Camera Obscura;
- "Teenager" single by Camera Obscura (both this and the above at a C.O. gig, because I probably wouldn't be able to get them in Australia otherwise);
- "If Looks Could Kill" single by Camera Obscura (because after seeing them three times in four nights I was on a bit of a Camera Obscura bender);
- Wolf Parade's self-titled (I assume?) E.P. (the first one, from 2004);
- The End of History by Fionn Regan;
- The Greatest by Cat Power (because it's been re-released at budget price: I was a bit lairy about buying it before, because I was a bit underwhelmed by You Are Free - although that may only be because I have an almost irrational love of Moon Pix)
- Neon Bible by the Arcade Fire;
- Sound As Ever by You Am I (because it was part of the soundtrack of my youth and I've been waiting forever for it to drop from full price - today I found it incredibly cheap);
- The Specials singles compilation (see above).

I've been buying a little more than usual. A little.

EDIT: Also, Misereatur, enjoy that Silver Jews album. That's some good shit. (Though given it's a Silver Jews album I guess that kind of goes without saying!)

I think the last album I bought was NOFX's "Never Trust A Hippy" EP.

Luckily I'll be buying the Sundowner album next week. Chris McCaughan is awesome.

I have recently bought:

Jesu - Conqueror

More electronic and melodic than I thought beforehand but definitely good. I object to the length though.

D?lek - Abandoned Language

Something different than their masterpiece Absence. Great in its own little subversive way. I enjoy the horns.

Suzie LeBlanc - La Mer jolie: Chants d'Acadie

Barock period singer interprets folk traditionals from Acadia(which is in Canada apparently). Ordered but not received.

Burning Spear - Man in the Hills

Roots reggae legend. I couldn't find a decent copy of his classic Marcus Garvey so I ordered this instead.

I just bought the Horrors' album, Strange House.

Bloody brilliant, but they raped Jack the Ripper and slowed it down by a fifth. It's gotten some really mixed reviews, though.

Hmm, that is pretty shit. They played here at the Laneway Festival, the first one of which was sold out so a second was announced (at which they also played). After all, Laneway did start in Melbourne. C.O. also played the night before the first Laneway, at a gig that sold out pretty quickly. Then, because their gigs had sold so well and because they had a two or three day gap in their schedule the band announced at very late notice a poorly-publicised second non-festival gig at a venue I'd never heard of before.

I had no idea this was out.

What do you mean the length? Is it pretty short? This sounds like a download-before-I-buy deal
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: McTaggart on 07 Mar 2007, 07:07
They were here for the Perth International Arts Festival; we don't have a laneway festival. As far as I know they didn't play any other gigs here.

It was out on the 20th, the 4th if you got the extended Japanese version. Which is what I would have get if I hadn't pre-ordered the standard version first.
No, it is not at all short, actually it is very long and personally I have an ambivalent thing with longish albums. It is a good album though and I imagine you would appreciate it.

My most recent purchase (I just got a big cheque from my late gran, so i'll have one big-ass spree coming soon) was Late Registration by Kanye West. It's quite good, but there's way too many skits on it. Luckily the good songs make up for it. Some stunning productions. 'Diamonds From Sierra Lione' especially, because he also doesn't overplay his hand, the song lasts just under four minutes, and at the end when it could have gone on forever, it pays its respects and then it's done. Great stuff.

Post by: Valdemar on 12 Mar 2007, 12:34
I bought this the other day:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/Santhsynth/AG83RED.gif)
Borbetomagus - Barbed Wire Maggots

I am eagerly awaiting it's arrival albeit in a slightly masochistic way because I know it is noise terrorism of the highest order. Performed on a guitar and two saxophones, mind you, which makes the whole thing more cool or daft depending on your p.o.v. Anyone know them?
I got some promos too but I don't think they count. On a sidenote both the Suzie LeBlanc and the Burning Spear cd are ace. Man in the Hills is very idyllic stuff. It is mostly about home, family and self-awareness along with Winston Rodney(a.k.a. Burning Spear though not on this album) boasting/rejoicing about how black he is. And as is customary for the reggae albums I own it makes me sleepy in a most serene way.
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: Misereatur on 12 Mar 2007, 12:41
That album sounds interesting.

Have you got any song samples?
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: Valdemar on 12 Mar 2007, 12:50
Not for that album, no, they are quite obscure. Allmusic (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=BORBETOMAGUS&sql=11:yeamqj4boj0a~T0) has some samples for their other albums.
It is basically, as far as I can understand, N.Y. free jazz gone batshit crazy.

Both very high quality.

I just bought the Horrors' album, Strange House.

I saw that all over London when I was there last week and gave it a full on listen at one of them Virgin listening booths and I really wanted to like it, but couldn't justify 10 quid.

Things I did buy, though (mostly replacing cds that I lost somehow...)

The Stranglers - Collection
The Jam - All Mod Cons
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley - Elvis
Beach Boys - Smiley Smile/Wild Honey w/bonus tracks
Stompin' at the Klub Foot vol 5 (live psychobilly collection from the late 80s)
Guana Batz - Electra Glide in Blue

and one or two others that I can't recall.

There's a great record store near my house called the Princeton Record Exchange. On top of selling all sorts of good records and such, they also have an entier wall of super cheap CDs. I found there the following:

Helios-Eingya (awesome ambient stuff a la eluvium)

(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000FS9FMG.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)

Tarantula A.D.-Book of Sand (Very cool post rock. On Silent Ballets Top 50 Insturmental albums of 2005...or 4. I forget)

(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000BEZPS2.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)

Destoryer-Destroyer's Rubies

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000E1158G.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)

By the End of Tonight-A Tribute to Tigers (More great post rock)

(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0007LXOWS.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)

The best part of it was, all of those CDs were only $2 each!

Madness! madness I say! I would be satisfied with just having a record store in my town but alas; no such luck.
Not much charm in buying via the interwebs but, I might add, I have been thoroughly disappointed with almost every records store I have been in so maybe I am just hard to please.

- Wolf Parade's self-titled (I assume?) E.P. (the first one, from 2004);

  I'm guessing you mean the second EP (they've had three), but if it really is the first one, you are a lucky lucky man.

Anyhow, I bought a fair bit of stuff today, went rather crazy with my spending, but I'm happy with it.

(http://www.scenepointblank.com/reviews/covers/00055.jpg)
Spritualized - Amazing Grace

Huh, I thought they'd only had two plus the album. Shows what I know. A quick check of a Wolf Parade discography site reveals that it is indeed the second one. Still, I feel pretty chuffed: it's harder than you'd think to get hold of this stuff in Australia (unless you order it specially, and by and large I don't believe in doing that).

EDIT: oh, and enjoy Rust Never Sleeps. That's a pretty bitchin' album.

I saw Borbetomagus at the 2006 No Fun Fest (it's a noise festival in NYC) and they fucking slayed, especially for a bunch of old dudes. One of the coolest shows of the 'fest.

Recent purchases:
Fred Frith / Chris Culter - The Stone: Issue Two
    Not as mindblowing at the last Stone fundraiser album, but really solid guitar 'n' drums free improv.

Odd Clouds / Wigwam - (Untitled)
    Amazing split tape release. Odd Clouds does quirky electronic noise, Wigwam does heavy organic drone.

Peeled Heart Paste - Plover Brand
    Insane harsh noise from Justice Yeldham, made on this thing. (http://static.flickr.com/108/310727455_d100eb57f3.jpg)

Casper and the Cookies - The Optimist's Club.... Who were so awesome live that I had to buy it. They had this guy playing with them with mutton chops so magnificent that I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

(http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/554.jpg)

Echo & the Bunnymen - Crocodiles

(http://www.w-fenec.org/photos/2005/rock/kyuss_blues_red_sun.jpg)

Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun.... because I still can't stop playing Fatso Forgetso and had to find more

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000LP6KUI.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)

The Earlies - The Enemy Chorus ... because I listened to it in the store... and it was good.

Misereatur, Univers Zero is a great band, I'm glad to see that you like them. I saw a guy in one of my classes with a shirt that had the cover of Heresie on it a few days ago and I was pretty fucking surprised.

Anyway, I've purchased these in the past coupe of weeks:

Fall of Troy - Doppelganger
This Mortal Coil - It'll End in Tears
Mayhem - Grand Declaration of War
Blame Game - s/t (They're local, so if nobody recognizes the name, that's probably why)
Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll
Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
Mew - Frengers
Dahlia Seed - Please Excuse all the Blood
Soft Machine - Vols. 1 and 2
Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - Pyroclastics
5uu's - Hunger's Teeth

Today I picked up Casiotone for the Painfully Alone's Ettiquite (which will need two or three more listens before I really start to love it) and SunnO))) and Boris' Altar. The guy at the checkout looked at me funny after looking at what I was buying.

Tinnitus ensured after that no doubt. My copy of Barbed Wire Maggots hasn't arrived yet. Don at Opposite Records was temporarily out of stock.

Heh, I saw +/- open for the Wrens and rather liked them. Nothing spectacular, but they were pretty good. Better than the albums anyway. As for the new CftPA (who I also get to see with Xiu Xiu in April!), I'm loving that cd a lot. I found it at the same record store I mentioned above for $10 and bought it right away. Great stuff. I also found some random Animal Collective eps for only a few dollars each just the other day.

I was talking about an album (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:nw5k8qbmbtq4) I mentioned in an earlier post there.

Also, after about four or five listens Etiquette really has grown on me. A lot of the tracks that I was unimpressed by before (Holly Hobby and Scattered Pearls) are now some of my favourites.

$10, second hand. The gold label at the top right says 'This album was won on 6pm', that radio station hasn't been called that for at least 10 years. The packaging is lightly beaten, about what you'd expect from something that's been in someones attic for a while but the vinyl looks in great condition.

I'd forgotten how much it varies between downright awesome and kinda cheesy.

I got it at Dada in the city (two roads east of the malls, on the east side of the road in between Hay and Murray st's. There's a big pigeon postered onto the wall next to it).

If you've got time to burn theres also Blowfly Records on what I think is Barrack st; the first one to the east of the malls. On the right down some stairs you might miss the first time you go past as you walk from Hay st to St Georges Tc. I've never actually bought anything from there but I've also never had the time to go through crates and crates of secondhand $4 records.

I got a whole bunch of promos:
Mael M?rdha - Gealtacht Mael M?rdha
Keen of the Crow - Hyborea
Longing For Dawn - A Treacherous Ascension
Elend - A World in Their Screams

The first three are from Grau, who released Agalloch's second album The Mantle in Europe. Longing For Dawn is straight repetitive funeral doom and Mael M?rdha is self-described as "gaelic doom metal" which in effect means doom with a bit of flute and a concept about some irish king. The last one is probably the most purposely goth thing I have ever heard. I mean it's right up there with Sopor Aeternus. That is not to say that it isn't good, only that there is a lot of posturing and supposedly scary stuff going on e.g. spoken word in french about death etc. That made up for by quite a bit of grandeur in their orchestral arrangements and some nice experimentation. I am told it is neo-classical(an offshoot of darkwave) but I don't anything about it, so I can't say for sure. To me, it sounds somewhat similar to Ulver - Blood Inside.

This past week was a week where a ton of music was acquired.  Last Tuesday my older sister went to the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis and bought four CDs, but they are essentially mine because she didn't want to take them with her when she returned to college.  So I got:

Explosions in the Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone
The Evens - Get Evens
Do Make Say Think - You, You're A History in Rust

and

Low - Drums and Guns

My copy of Drums and Guns is weird, it does not have the "Low" on the cover, it just says "Drums and Guns".

Then, we went on a short Spring Break road-trip to Chicago.  We stopped in at several record stores in Chicago, including the Jazz Record Mart.  The Jazz Record Mart is the largest independent jazz and blues record store in the world.  I picked up:

Shining - In The Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster

I recognized the cover from Jeph's RL page, and I picked it up.  It's pretty awesome.  Anyway, we later stopped at Dr. Wax in Evanston, where I did most of my purchasing.  I got:

Big Black - Songs About Fucking
Low - The Great Destroyer
The Jesus Lizard - Lash
Aloha - Some Echoes
A Hawk And A Hacksaw - The Way The Wind Blows

The Big Black and A Hawk And A Hacksaw were the only new purchases, everything else was used and even the new stuff was dirt cheap.

Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: greenMonkey on 02 Apr 2007, 12:44
Lol, my thoughts exactly.

Also, I did not realize this until after I had purchased it, but my copy of Some Echoes (Aloha) is actually a promotional copy.  So, the band didn't make any money off of it, but the record store did.  One part of me is excited because its pretty cool to have a promo copy (and it was the only copy at the store), but another part of me is angry at the record store for selling the promo copy for extra profit.

greenMonkey, none of the copies of the Drums and Guns album have Low on the cover.  The Low part is a sticker which is on the plastic wrap, so if you didn't take it off before throwing out the plastic wrap, you've lost it.

Anyway, I was in a used record/CD place Saturday, so I picked up:

(http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/f/ff/Shellac-AtActionPark.jpg)
Shellac - At Action Park

(http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/AMGCOVERS/music/cover200/dre000/e039/e039316uw63.jpg)

Ah, thank you for clarifying, I was wondering about that.  My sister bought it and obviously must have thrown away that part.

Neutral Milk Hotel
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000AE8M3S.02._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
It was the first 'indie' record I listened to, and is one of my favourites, but it hasn't been until now that I've actually owned a legitimate copy of the record. I haven't listened to it a whole lot since I bought it, since I got it more to replace copies that I've lost, and, of course, to actually own it, but I have listened to it a couple of times, and it's simply great. The highlight of the album is the track Holland, 1945.

The Olivia Tremor Control
Dusk at Cubist Castle

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00008LO99.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
I've only listened to this a couple of times, and bought it out of curiosity about Elephant 6, rather than any actual recommendations that I can recall. That said, it is a very good record, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a really long pop record that is perfect for background music that you can just sink in and out of every now and then.

The Silver Jews
Bright Flight

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00005RRYO.02._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
I bought this record because I loved American Water, and hoped that the rest of the Silver Jews' catalogue would measure up. So far, I don't enjoy it as much as AW, and there isn't really any track that I think is amazing (like Smith and Jones was on AW) but it is still a solid record in its own right and requires more listens.


Belle and Sebastian
The Life Pursuit

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000BM2OUQ.02._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
I find that Belle and Sebastian generally have appeal since there are tracks that you love the first time you hear them (on this record it's White Collar Boy) but upon repeated listens, you find other gems. So far, I haven't listened to it enough to name any track in particular, but the whole record is very good.
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun

In the past few days I've bought:

- Blind Willie Johnson: the Complete Recordings.
- Jackie McLean: A Fickle Sonance. (A$5 impulse buy.)
- Cat Power: What Would the Community Think. (Been meaning to buy the early Cat Power records for most of the 21st century so far.)
- Radiohead: O.K. Computer. (A$10 impulse buy - I can't believe it's been 10 years since it came out!)

Later this week I plan on buying Aerial by Kate Bush, and possibly the Kick Inside too.

Last 3...

Fennesz Sakamoto - Cendre
(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w227/personperson_2007/cendre.jpg)
Collab between Austrian laptop awesomeness-bringer and vene-/over-rated figurehead of Japanese electronica Ryuichi Sakamoto busting out the Satie styles on piano.  All done via the post, so split very obviously between Fennesz-made atmos with untouched piano wanderings and Sakamoto-played solo pieces given a run through the wringer.

LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w227/personperson_2007/soundofsilver.jpg)
I really liked the first few LCD Soundsystem singles but utterly failed to give a shit about the first album.  I like this one a lot more, I think when Mr Permanent Blocked Nose sings it's quite great.  I love how fucking miserable it is for what I guess could be called a dance album... The up songs are great on the train to work and the moody songs are great when I'm feeling like a mope at the end fo the day. :)

Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w227/personperson_2007/holden.jpg)
This is basically the only tricky / clicky / experimental techno I've heard in a long time that I've given a shit about.  It's just incredible.  Imagine if Fennesz were producing awesome club tracks with Aphex Twin circa Windowlicker ... and you'd find yourself with a shit A+B analogy that makes no sense. :wink:  Ah well.

Drudkh's Autumn Aurora, Sleep's Jerusalem and Nadja's redoing of Touched have all just been ordered.

Had the first two on mp3 for some time and love them both... Haven't heard Touched yet, but other Nadja stuff I've got is brilliant.

Also, I really want Drums and Guns. I saw the single of one of the songs and I wasn't really impressed. I hope the album sounds better.

If you thought Naked City(the one with the dead man) was interesting but not that listenable, is there any hope you will find other Zorn enjoyable?
What I am saying is basically is it all atonal and - pardon the expression - squawking?
The real hurdle is probably that I don't really dig on jazz.

The last thing I bought was:
Family Underground - Raising the Labyrinth

Mesmerising psych drone improv. In the vein of Double Leopards around Halve Maen if that rings any bell. The sales pitches for their CD-Rs are quite ludricrous but their sound is very difficult to describe because the instruments are near impossible to make out. Ethereal jams from inside a nebula is my best attempt and that sounds about as vague as other more colourful stuff like "That sound? thats an ancient axe cutting through cosmic fog, man."
Apropos their Chocolate Monk release, Axial, is really good. I just heard they were going to release an album on Weird Forest (http://www.weirdforest.com/) soon. Their postage is rather expensive but I am probably going to buy it anyway.

So, on Easter weekend I had around 40 dollars riding in my wallet.  I say to my self, "Hey, lets go to the mall and buy one CD!"  So I get there, brake down, and buy:

(http://s.yottamusic.com/i/blpM.5BWr/375x375)

Yo La Tango- I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass

I picked it up because I have heard the guys (and gals) on gabbly talk about them.  I was not disappointed with it. 
(http://s.yottamusic.com/i/asOR.27Bq/375x375)

The White Stripes - White Blood Cells

This album just makes me more of a fan of their work.  I think it was Gryff who recomened De Stijl to me. 

(http://www.popnutten.de/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/sonic_youth_rather_ripped.jpg)

Sonic Youth
- Rather Ripped

I had no idea what to expect from this, but it pays off every time I listen to it.

Zorn has a lot of stuff that arent nessecerily Jazz. Maybe you'd like his Composer albums (Godard/Spillane comes to mind) or maybe Moonchild.
Here (http://www.omnology.com/zorn01.html) is a great fan site with information on a lot of his albums. You can also check out the Tzadik (http://www.tzadik.com/) home page.

I recommend you try Spy Vs, Spy. John Zorn took Ornette Coleman and literally punked him up.
Also maybe try Rashanim's Masada Anniversary Edition Vol. 5: Masada Rock. Stoner/Surf rock versions of Masada songs.

I'm pretty much a John Zorn fanboy.

The Flaming Lips: "At War with the Mystics" (also a first for me - yeah, I'm a little late on them :roll: ) 9/10
The Flaming Lips: "The Soft Bulletin" ("At War..." got me hooked, "The Soft Bulletin" sealed the deal for good) 10/10
Modest Mouse: "We were dead before the ship even sank" (some real good stuff - in particular "March into the sea", "Spitting venom" and my favourite "Fly trapped in a jar") 8/10

On order:

Fiery Furnaces: "Rehearsing my choire" (another slightly belated discovery of mine - I stumbled upon them just one year ago - but now I don't want to miss them anymore ["Bitter Tea" is my No. 1  pick for the famous lonely island!]; "Rehearsing..." now completes my collection and I'm looking forward to a very special experience)

Broken Social Scene-Broken Social Scene
You Forgot It In People-Broken Social Scene
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah-Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Cities-Anberlin
Good Night, Witness Light-Daphne Loves Derby
Dusk and Summer-Dashboard Confessional

All of those through Limewire, and i recently actually purchased the re-release of The Morning of's Welcome Change, Goodbye Gravity EP

All of which i love.  There are some truly gorgeous works on both Broken Social Scene records, and the CYHSY album makes me happy to listen to.  Cities isn't my favorite Anberlin album, but it has some great tracks.  Good Night, Witness Light on the other hand, is Daphne Loves Derby's best album, easily.  The Dashboard one...i just wanted to complete it, because i had my favorite tracks, which hold some sentimental value.

I know I'm one of the few country listeners in this entire forum but this album is a good album. I especially love the use of dobro in "Good Directions".

Last week I picked up Sunn O)))'s Black One (which I haven't really been in the mood for these last two weeks so I haven't given it a thorough listen yet) and the new New Buffalo album, Somewhere, Anywhere. There aren't really any tracks as strong as the single, but if you want somewhat twee pop that won't fail to bring a smile to your face I doubt this album woudl disappoint.

Today I picked up Blonde Redhead's 23 which I had pretty much heard all of before buying it, but it is  much better in album form than in random mp3's streamed off the net form. It follows really nicely and depite being a little annoying the packaging is one of my recent favourites.

I also got Dinosaur Junior's Green Mind completely on a whim. I've never actually consciously listened to them before and had no idea what to expect. I could go either way, or rather, I can't really be bothered making up my mind. Meh, rock's not really my thing.

Man, I love Black One.
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: McTaggart on 20 Apr 2007, 08:07
Yeah, I just gave it a proper listen then. Two proper listens. Just wow. That second last track 'Cry for the Weeper' is excellent.

I'm also warming up to Green Mind. J Mascis has a great voice. I vaguely recall people saying that they did some more noisy stuff, any suggestions on where to head next with Dinosaur Jr?
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: Misereatur on 20 Apr 2007, 08:24
I listened to Green Mind a few times and it didn't struck me as anything special. I should give it another listen.

You should try Sebadoh (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE6791CDA4EAF7120C697314BCDA666D20ED342F38250234558C0A26211992675CC0DE9DDD2B3FA6AB679AFF862A55B05D2C3E455F4CC1740&sql=11:w9foxqe5ldhe), though. It's Lou Barlow's low fi project. I recommend you should listen to III and Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock (I think it was realesed by Sub Pop, and it also has a cover of Nick Drake's Pink Moon). Imagine low fi folk with noise freakouts between songs.
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: McTaggart on 20 Apr 2007, 08:44
It's not stunning or anything, but I think that there's definitely potential for something special elsewhere in their discography.

I'll see what Sebadoh I can find around though...

Revived!

So, today I was browsing the used section of my local record store, and I came across a ton of amazing finds, all pretty much brand new.  I ended up getting two of them, and am very happy with my purchases, as the prices were well below half the price they would've been new.

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51+876VChyL._AA240_.jpg)
Current 93 - The Inmost Light boxset
Includes Where the Long Shadows Fall, All the Pretty Horses, The Starres are Marching Sadly Home.  Really happy with this one.

Last thing I bought was this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/Santhsynth/SarahsCharity-CodeofRedTwin.jpg)
Sarah's Charity - Code of Red Twin

I love limited handcrafted cd-rs with pretty and trippy sleeves. It makes the whole experience much more intimate and special in a sense. This one in particular has a very distinct design that is quite thorough. Simple I suppose, but pretty cool nonetheless. This is probably why that whole online new noise/free improv cdr/tape distro community appeals to me. And the noise is good too! Guitarbased noise run through god knows how filters and shit. Heavy use of Oscillators I'm told but I wouldn't know.

I think it is interesting. I usually listen to ambient drone stuff so this is not my usual fare. Reminds me somewhat of Wolf Eyes, if they were any good that is. The name is bit dumb though. Almost as forced as Pee in My Face With Surgery.

They're not good with names, but excellent with everything else. Their name, btw, roughly translates to "a litre of semen" (http://www.myspace.com/doomdub).

Kai, I think I have an EP on my computer somewhere. I'll look for it and upload it in the sendspace thread.

The link is to their myspace, not to a litre of semen.

Since I last posted I've only bought these two...

Reflection - Musical Bizarreness
(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w227/personperson_2007/jinx-1.jpg)
Japanese producers who do an equal mix of sorta trip-hop / downbeat stuff and beatless, weird ambient music.  It's a bit disconcerting.  From track to track you never know whether to expect bouncey hip-hop beats and jazz samples or shifting tones and modem dialing noises.

Kammerflimmer Kollektiev - Jinx
(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w227/personperson_2007/jinx.jpg)
Every now and then these guys get called post-rock, but basically they're jazz guys mucking around with electronics a bit.  Very mellow, slowly developing stuff.    Some of it reminds me of Fridge at their most jazz-sounding.  It's so chilled, think it's going to be great for summer evenings.
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: Jed on 04 Jun 2007, 05:48
I just bought these:

The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium
(http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/Large/33/488633.jpg)


One of my all time favorite albums.  Frances the Mute had its moments, as did Amputechture, but this is definitely their strongest.  Amputechture was good while i was listening to it, but it didn't stick with me much.  De-loused is really just an all around fantastic album, including the story behind all of it.

No New York

Double LP with an early live show and a studio recording from 1981.

I don't know what's up with the Russian version, but that comp was put together by Brian Eno.
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun

What's up with the Russian version is probably copyright infringement. Ever been record shopping in Russia?
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun

No New York is pretty constantly out of print, so mayhaps the Russians decided to change that?
Title: Re: Being broke has never been this fun
Post by: Misereatur on 18 Jun 2007, 06:22
It does say "Produced by Brian Eno" on the back. I guess it's just a russian version, not copyright infringement.

Jesu / Eluvium vinyl only split. One extra long Eluvium track and three brand new Jesu tracks means sheer awesomness. This may be the best $11 I've ever spent. Plus it's pretty and red and see through which really make it even better.

Coincidentally, the most recent album I bought (as in today) was Tanglewood Numbers by Silverjews.  And a few days before that I bought Shellac At Action Park.  Both are excellent.

The last three albums I got were:
(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf700/f762/f76256tvhef.jpg)
Arvo Pärt - Te Deum

Heartbreaking choral music. The title composition is a marvel.

(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd600/d691/d691349hetc.jpg)
Salamat - Ezzayakoum

North African street pop with roots in the nubian minority in Cairo and at the Egyptian-Sudanese border.
They've even got a little samba going in the song O Samba.

(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drg500/g552/g55274rouct.jpg)
Shukar - Bear Tamers Music

Romanian bear tamers music that is very rhythmic and has a certain oriental feel in the vocals.
Instrumentation include spoons, plastic drums and body-slapping. On top of that they also scat on a few tracks.

Today, I bought more CDs I don't need!  I decided to journey to a record store a block away from campus I had heard was wonderful.  I really didn't stand a chance of not buying something.

John Zorn - The Big Gundown (had a debate between this and Spy Vs. Spy, but this won as it was $5 less)
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rpybzgmXL._AA240_.jpg)

Les Savy Fav - Rome (Written Upside Down) EP
(http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/61280RDEJGL._AA240_.jpg)

Ex-Dead Teenagers - Ex-Dead Teenagers

The Ex-Dead Teenagers is a punk band Steve McBeam from Black Mountain/Pink Mountaintops was in during the late '90s.  Their only album was finally released in a limited run of 100 this past year.  I'd thought all the copies would be in Vancouver, but apparently a couple made it out here.  I'm really happy to have found it, as I'd been regretting not buying it when I had the chance.

White Stripes: Icky Thump
Nice to have a band that does stuff along the lines of classic rock / metal. I have a feeling that if I had a band it'd sound a lot like this, except I'd end up singing more like Roger Waters or something, and half in Japanese for the heck of it.
(This album will also from now on forever remind me of this comic (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=263).)

Also, U2: Rattle and Hum
It was hard to pick between this and Achtung Baby, but I went with this one 'cause it has a more interesting set of songs (having All Along the Watchtower and Helter Skelter is cool).

My next purchase will probably be the new TMBG album... come to think of it, I've had the song "Sleeping in the Flowers" in my head, and I've now figured out WHY that is. Though I think "coffee shop clerk" is so much cooler a lyric than "copy shop clerk" in the song.

The last two I'd been listening to for weeks illegally. I finally felt guilty enough to buy them. The only one I was kind of disappointed by was the Modest Mouse. They're just not the same since Jeremiah Green left.

I should buy that Mingus album some time soon. Lord knows, I need to be exposed to jazz that is not about endless, boring soloing.

Rather that display covers I am just going to talk about what I have recently ordered:

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

First Sabbath album. LIKE ELECTRIC FUNERAL FIRE! Ahem. That song is not on the album but Into the Void is and that is a cracking tune, the original as well as the Kyuss cover.

Drudkh - Autumn Aurora

Tree hugger black metal. Or maybe that is Wolves in the Throne Room? Anyway there are plenty of awesome riffs from what I have heard on myspace. Looking forward to it.

Corrupted - Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos

A Japanese doom/drone band that sing in Spanish. Can't get much more indie than that! Great music as well.

Olivier Messiaen - Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum; Chronochromie; La Ville d'en haut

Three pieces by this french composer. It is very abstract, intuitive music. Difficult to follow for someone not familiar with 20th century classical.

Finally I bought some balinese Gamelan music. But there is not much to say about that one.

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West (replacing a lost copy, grauhguahgugh)
