$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 a terrible case of the guilts and went and bought We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank on Wednesday after downloading it last week, and I saw Neon Bible for cheap, so I got that as well. It is pretty noise!

That's quite awesome... where'd you buy it? I get the feeling I've been missing some great shops in Perth somehow.

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.

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:


Shellac - At Action Park


Zumpano - Goin' Through Changes


Spiritualized - Let It Come Down

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

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


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


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


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.

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.

Not at all.

Along with the Buddha Machine I ordered Oren Ambarchi's Grapes from the Estate and Fennesz - Endless Summer. Two albums I've been told repeatedly that I would love but have never managed to find copies of. Yay, internet.

Grapes from the Estate is a really great album.

I never noticed how awsome Pink's artwork is.

John Zorn's 50th birthday celebration no. 7 - Masada

Last 3...

Fennesz Sakamoto - Cendre

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

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

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 ordered an album by Stars of the Lid. Sounds real promising.

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 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:



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. 


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. 



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 is a great fan site with information on a lot of his albums. You can also check out the Tzadik 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.

Most recently I've bought:

CYHSY: "Some Loud Thunder" (well, personally I very much enjoyed this record; it's a grower) 8/10
Arcade Fire: "Neon Bible" (IMHO a worthy follow-up to "Funeral") 9/10
Yo La Tengo: "I'm not afraid of you and I will beat your ass" (my first experience with this band - and certainly not my last) 9/10
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)

Recently i have aquired:

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 definitely thought this was a cover album of Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

T?r - Eric the Red


Asmegin - Hin Vordende Sod & S?


Solefald - In Harmonia Unversali


Control Denied - Fragile Art of Existence


considering the amount of power metal I've been listening to lately, this was actually a bit of a jump, though I've been eyeing the first three for a while.
