Vinyl, on my trip to Boston. Yay!

valley_parade · « **Reply #304 on:** 11 May 2010, 11:28 »

Saturday, I went both normal vinyl shopping, and to a used record sale at my local college's radio station (WJJW). I brought $30 expecting to maybe get three or four things, but um..ended up leaving with 35 records for $25. Most of them were promos, as well. I mostly ended up grabbing stuff that either sounded like it might be interesting, or had a weird/funny title/cover. Awesome. Total haul: 38 records, $41 spent.

Singles:
Dio - "The Last In Line" (12")
Gang Green - "We'll Give It To You" b/w "Skate To Hell" 12" (best find of the day, imo)
REM - "Orange Crush" 12" (orange vinyl)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Give It Away" 12"
Jamiroquai - "Emergency on Planet Earth" 12"
Dis N' Dat - "Dis N' Dat" b/w "Hotel Motel" 12"
Regatta 69 - "Simple Simon" 7"
Morrissey - "Ouija Board, Ouija Board" 12" + "Suedehead" 12"
Ted Nugent - "She Drives Me Crazy" 12"
Ma$e - "From Scratch" 12"
Orgy - "Opticon" 2x12" (picked up for a friend)
Pigeon John - "Is Clueless" 12"

LPs:
Polar Bear Club - "Sometimes Things Just Disappear" (green marble)
Nathan Maxwell & The Original Bunny Gang - "White Rabbit" (white)
Broadway Calls - "Good Views, Bad News" (blue marble)
Todd Rundgren - "Healing" (for a friend)
Psychedelic Furs - "Should God Forget" + "Book Of Days" (for same friend)
Lou Reed - "Metal Music Machine"
Yall So Stupid - "Van Full Of Pakistans" (for group & album name)
Les Paul - "The Genius Of Les Paul"
Ramones - "End Of The Century" (German pressing) + "Too Tough To Die"
Pagan Babies - "Next" (Note written on the cover: "Philadelphia's BEST hardcore")
Toots & The Maytals - "In The Dark"
Ric Ocasek - "Beatitude"
Iggy Pop - "Instinct" + "New Values"
Diamond Head - "Borrowed Time"
Buddy Guy - "This Is Buddy Guy!"
Chicago - "Chicago Transit Authority"
Paul McCartney - "McCartney"
Taj Mahal - "Satisfied N' Tickled Too"
Stan Getz - "Children Of The World" (album art by Charles Schulz of Peanuts fame...it's Schroder on piano and Snoopy playing a sax) + "The Master"
Rolling Stones - "Black & Blue"
Professor Longhair - "Live On The Queen Mary"

The one thing they didn't have, and I really, really want, is Getz's "Recorded Fall 1961" with Bob Brookmayer. I came upon a copy in a used store in Boston last month, but didn't have the money on me for it. Goddammit.

Kerrier District (aka Luke Vibert) - 2

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #307 on:** 12 May 2010, 15:46 »

This is some of the stuff I got after the last time I posted here:

Death - Leprosy

Kent - Röd

Eyehategod - Confederacy Of Ruined Lives

Godflesh - Pure (It was a box-version that also had two more cds: Cold World EP and Slavestate EP)

The best thing I've bought is easily this:

Alcest - Écailles De Lune (Box version, limited to 1000 copies with post cards and a flag)
It's a really nice box!
And the flag too... But I don't know were to put it, I don't have enough place in my room! It was kinda expensive too

but oh well

You can tell it was on purpuse!

Yey for openmindness!

I love Kent, it's my favorite non-metal band. I'm one of those who thinks their music is pretty dark at least for the genre(s) it stands for (if you understand their lyrics you might probably agree). Röd is in my top three of their albums, amazing "psychedelic electronica".

I was a bit worried after I saw them live because the two songs they played didn't sound too good, but after a few listens the album grew on me. Still think their previous work is better though.

The long story: I was about 13 when I found T.S.O.L.'s Dance With Me album in a record store in Omaha. I bought it for two reasons --the cover and because I knew some older kids listened to them. I say without exaggeration that it was an album that not only blew my mind, but literally shaped the direction my life has been going for the last two and a half decades. I think it is one of the best overall albums ever put together. Every single song is a winner --even though some of them are very strange. I've bought it on vinyl (stolen), cassette tape (lost), CD (in the house somewhere), and paid to download it off of iTunes.

Needless to say, being a huge fan and a guitar player, I've been very happy that in the last couple of years T.S.O.L.'s guitarist Ron Emory has been getting some of the props he deserves as a very talented musician. So a couple of months ago, I'm on the Fender website and I'm checking out the artists. A few links later and I'm on Ron Emory's website and I proceed to order the pre-release of his CD and DVD. Then I pretty much forgot about it. But I check the mailbox when I get home from work and there is my forgotten CD/DVD in the mailbox. I open it up and it's totally signed with a big thanks from Ron. Very cool (and the album, so far, is excellent).

TL;DR Ron Emory's new album and DVD showed up today unexpectedly signed by Ron.

Picked up the new Hold Steady album, "Heaven Is Whenever" this morning, on the strength of the songs on their myspace. The only one of theirs I'd heard before was "Stay Positive" which was alright, but the vocalist's tendency to talk more than sing, and the slightly dodgy production (keyboards and guitars panned hard opposite directions on a couple of tracks was just disorientating, and not in a good way...) sorta spoilt it a bit for me. They've fixed both problems this time though. Dude rocks some melody, and the production is HUGE. Me likey.

Just downloaded the new How To Destroy Angels EP, great stuff. NIN fans, you won't be disappointed.

Its all free, but I donated a few dollars for both albums. Its pretty neat stuff.

I was on a No Idea streak the past few weeks:

The Draft - In A Million Pieces (lavender vinyl)
The Ergs/Measure [sa]- split (both 7"s, brown vinyl)
The Methadones - Gary Glitter EP
I also added the free random 7" to my cart and the order hasn't shown up yet, so no clue what it is! Also got a blue Hot Water Music shirt.

I also hit up the Vinyl Collective archive auction and currently have high bid on the following:
Reggie and the Full Effect/Koufax split
Teenage Bottlerocket/Broadway Calls split (yellow w/ black splatter)

I love when labels throw in free stuff. I just got the new Japandroids single from Polyvinyl. Came with candy and some random CD from a band called ZZZZ (not all that great, but free!).

I also have en route the new Dopamines album on clear green vinyl with black swirls. Highly suggest you guys give it a listen if you like ze pop-punk.

edit: Fuck, I forgot I pre-ordered the deluxe edition of the upcoming Sundowner album from Asian Man, too. Comes with the record on both clear green and clear blue, a CD, and a t-shirt. Limited to 200.

Good choice on The Arusha Accord! I have their full length, Echo Verses, which in some ways isn't as good as Nightmares of the Ocean, I think mostly due to the over-glossy production. Unfortunately they're going on indefinite hiatus starting after their last gig, which is in a week or so

oh for fuck's sake, really?! just when i thought i'd found a band that could replace that sikth-shaped whole in my life!? goddammit!!!

i'll definitely be picking up the full-length though. heard a few songs off of it on youtube and it all seems pretty solid.

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #341 on:** 14 Jul 2010, 13:53 »

Yeah, they announced it on their official Facebook page a week or so ago, just confirmed today that they'll be playing one last show near Reading then giving it a rest for a while.

Quote

So just to clarify for those of you that weren't at Ghostfest and have heard various rumours, The Arusha Accord are not splitting up. We are going on a long break as of after Brutal Assault festival so we can go and pursue other areas of our lives that we haven't had the chance to do whilst being skint playing tech metal! We have started writing again though and we will be back when the time is right.

I got this 3" mini CD Sunday at what was probably the coolest show I've been to all summer. It was an extremely chill show, in the basement of a house occupied by one of three bands playing, Kitten Forever.

The band I went to see, and whose CD I bought, was Myths. Myths are from Vancouver, BC. Their myspace is here: http://www.myspace.com/mythsband

Myths combine a lot of elements of music I'm really into right now. They have severe, nearly fascistic coldwave beats, spazzy noise electronics, multi-layered textural sounds, and shouted echoey vocals. Some of what I heard recorded and assumed was effect placed on vocal tracks turned out to be the interplay between the two bandmates, both of whom sing and control various synths and beatmachines. Because of this vocal approach, the band also kind of reminds me of the Blood Brothers.

Anyway, I'm excited about this group. I bought their mini CD. They're touring like mad right now and I saw them for free, so if you get the chance yrself I highly recommend it.
