Joe Tex-Happy Soul Seam- a fucking great old indie band from Chicago, lost my cassette of theirs 8,9 years ago REM-Reckoning (i'll take it for a $2) NY Dolls-Actress:Birth of the NY Dolls (i know little about this particular album but i listened to it, sounds good and crappy like every other NY Dolls recording. Appears a collectable and in sharp shape The Nation of Ulysses - The Embassy Tapes (punk doesnt get much better and sassier than this) Lemonheads-C'mon Feel the Lemonheads (oldie but goodie for a $2) Eric Dolphy-The Greatness Of (i busted numerous nuts in the jazz section but i had to stop here, don't have any Dolphy, and this guys swings The Clash-Give em Enough Rope (again, another solid oldie but staple and the big score.... Sonic Youth -Sister (original pressing...'how do you know that?' you ask? well..i'll tell you. I actually have this at home, an original overseas pressing (the linear notes are in portaguese) that i got back in highschool. a friend bought it in Rio in the mid 80s. I traded some coedine pills for it in 10th grade. I know its original because on the back there is a picture of a girl in overalls. if you go to the store now, you'll see a black rectangle over the picture because they never got the rights to it and the girls family sued. The problem is, in college, i broke the actual record...so ive had the jacket with no record ever since. Well...low and behold lookie lookie what aron's has...an original pressing, without the black box. they know it too, because they charged me $10. Which seems a bit low...but considering how bad ass this album is fucking worth it. buy any music lately chumps? |

Still, I think that the ol' used cd store is a-calling. I'm going to wait a couple weeks though, to see if the new Les Claypool album shows up in the bins - I hear it kicks ass. |

i think the new beck is just fine. it's not as alien brilliant as some of his others, but i would buy it. mm, then again. his alien brilliance can sometimes sneak up on you from behind when you're not paying attention. |
beck - sea change. i could only fit the first 7. let me know if you want the last 5. |

Wednesday, and they kicked some serious booty. |
I have no Mekons albums -- which one should I buy first? Patrick, does the Seam album you got have "The Prizefighter" on it? |
hey dave, how come songs 1-7 send me to some weird web advert where as 8-12 download fine. thanks bitch. |
Really, it depends on what you like. My first was Curse of the Mekons, which has somewhat of a country vibe (check out the cover of Wild and Blue). Another standout is So Good It Hurts, with a number of great tracks: Fletcher Christian, Robin Hood, Dora, etc. Also, their recent Journey to the End of night is moody and dark and another fave. Oh, and don't overlook the collections: Where Were You, and I Have Been To Heaven and Back. The latter has a great version of the old street rhyme Oranges and Lemons, as well as a blistering version of Orpheus. Any band who can capture the full gruesomeness of Greek myth in song is alright in my book. Other Mekon-loving Sorabjites might have widely diverging opinions. One of the great things about the Mekons is their range. |

just adding them to my giant PC jukebox. so...if its no trouble...sure....i'll grab the first ones. |
|
you're so cute dave. |

I think i saw a listing one time of the various pressings & editions of the White Album...there are tons. For some reason its one of those psuedo-rare sought after albums which baffles me as to why its so sought after. It seems readily available. |
They have a lot of adds with a wide variety of music. If you don't find what you're looking for then you can check out one of the record shows listed for your area. |

It was founded centuries ago, but is owned now (and has been since 1919) by the Wrigley family (as in the gum, Chicago, baseball field etc etc). It has a small resort town on it called Avalon. circa 1930s There is a casino (big bldg to the right) with an amazing ballroom that was built there in the late 20s. There are no cars on the island (except local officals and the few tour guides). You get around by renting a golf cart or walking. There are wild sheep and other animals that live on the island. It has peeks at about 2000 feet. The snorkling and scub diving are supposed to be tops there because the water is amazingly clear (free from LA's dumping). it just so happens there is a Jazz festival this weekend too, but unfortunately it appears to mainly comprised of contemporary bullshit psuedo jazz. |

We have a new night club opening like basically in our backyard tonite. It is 7 clubs in one. My friend came down a couple of nights ago and told me that we are going. I told her that I refuse to go to the country western club and she agreed. We are going to the alternative bar and then to the karaoke bar to laugh our asses off. Hopefully tonight will end up fun. $1.50 beers, so I am sure it will be. |

I hope everyone has a good weekend. After a day of utter overstimulation from Sorabji-land and other places, I am going to start working now. |
