I was in Neptune yesterday. I bought about 40 7" singles for .50cents each(some a wee bit more). Brett ordered me the Serena Maneesh which starts out great and loses me quickly. I also picked up the new Tom Verlaine vocal cd. its ok on first listen.
It really is a shame that shops like this cant survive but I suspect Brett's just tired of this and maybe the shop has run it's course in his life. Same thing happened to me. It would be a different story if you could actually make money doing something like this.

Just listening to the new Morning After Girls album 'Shadows Evolve' and got to say it's quite unspectacular and all sounds a bit Dandys/BJM.

Really like the debut Longcut album Call And Response (they've got an mp3 on their website). Sounds so familiar in a lot of different ways.... reminded me in places of the Wedding Present, The Cure, House Of Love, Mogwai, Radiohead..... but really there is one band they sound like more than anything else and I just can't bloody figure out who it is.

A Damned compilation - it was cheap, but all I wanted was Neat Neat Neat.

Ciccone Youth Whitey Album... because I wanted to hear it, and I never play vinyl anymore. And it was cheap.

Nick Drake treasury.

A Sly Stone compilation - replacing a knackered cassette.

Nuggets II box set. Wicked. "My Father's Name Was Dad" is worth the price alone.

A Faces box set. Noticed last night that they did a version of Getting Hungry - the Beach Boys song... it's only rough, but it's quite interesting. They were a very funky outfit.

Graham Coxon's new one. He good. Did anyone see that documentary last night about pianos, with Evelyn Waugh's grandson on it? Damon Albarn was on it.

Yeah that was also released as the 9 volume series called Songs The Cramps Taught Us or Born Bad. Some really great and hard-to-find stuff on those comps. Although Lux and Ivy said they didn't like them that much as they weren't really representative of their music tastes (not enough soul etc) but when you have as many records as those two then even 9 LPs worth of songs only scratches the surface!

yeah i have this, it's defo only one dimension BUT!!! you hear exactly where they ripped off what. talking about note for note rip-off, the cramps just might be the kings and queens. it just that most of us have never heard where they ripped it off from.

that box set is great, the cheesey ass werewolves and haunted scenes on the front i could do with out.

plus the liner notes are a great read, i highly recommend it for anybody that really likes garage music. as in rare-ultra-hard-to-find-garage-music- from-the-1950's.


p/s-i got mine as a set of 4?? should i be looking for 5 more??

Born Bad goes up to 8 (I thought it was 9 but i was wrong). I just looked it up and because born bad was originally just on vinyl they couldn't fit as many songs on so there's more volumes. Pretty much the same tracklisting though.

i have mp3s but don't own Born Bad, vol 1-6.

Lux & Ivy's favorites i have are 1-5, also mp3, totally different track listings.

here's a post i came across via websearch, with a tracklist & more info:
http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/04/l ... ys_fa.html
Curiously, Google and all the Cramps fan sites seemed to know nothing at all about this, so I asked one of the ultimate experts on all thing Cramps and related: WFMU's own Rex Doane. Not even he had ever heard of these compilations, but he said that it looked "like a combination of the various Songs The Cramps Taught Us comps and the legendary Vip Vop tapes and Forbidden City Dog Food comp they used to play at shows."

What was up with these weird compilations full of great music, where did they come from, where could one buy the CDs or LPs? The answer was buried in the archives of the Yahoo group Staysick, dedicated to all things Cramps. One of the members of this group wrote the following: "I compiled Lux and Ivy's Favorites using Soulseek and music from my own collection. I use interviews etc. of songs Lux and Ivy have mentioned over the years and then collect them in compilation form and post them on Soulseek..."

I think there might be a Two Lone Swordsmen album coming out soon as well...look forward to that.

Fantastic choice - 1st Ozrics album I ever bought, after seeing them for the first time just after it was released...in retrospect it probably has some of Merv Pepler's best work in the rhythm section, shortly before he left for good to Eat Static...probably only bettered by 'Underslunky' if I had to choose, though the mighty fast version of Kick Muck certainly helps that one over the studio albums...lysergic dreams remastered :twisted:

I actually thought I'd get slated for telling everyone I'd bought an Ozrics album. I've got quite a few. My favourite Ozrics record is actually Erpland, but I think Jurassic Shift comes a close second. Pteranodon and Feng Shui are 2 of my favourite Ozrics tracks, and that's picking from a hell of a lot. I saw them play at a festival a couple of weeks ago and it made me feel quite nostalgic hence the purchase. And Kick Muck fucking ROCKS! Probably my favourite Ozrics tune, either that or the live version of "The Throbbe".

Ironically 'Kick Muck' always seems to ROCK even more live...once I asked Ed how he got it even faster live than on the record...given the consumables available on the post-gig table I was surprised he calmly attributed it to the DD pedals...methinks it was modesty, though at that point I was properly away...quite frankly everything we listened to then sounded fast as fuck!

Very nice guys though, politeness through and through...as best I can recollect :wink:

The White Stripes - At the moment a good contender for album of the year. Great rock n roll album, so good you can almost forgive the travesty of having bagpipes on record.

Julian Cope - New album, You Gotta Problem With Me, is absolutely brilliant. 2 X CD erring more towards Jehovahkill but with intelligent lyrics and great rock n roll riffs. What more do you want from a record.....

Sunray - Waiting for this to arrive but on CD has Ocean with Sonic and the 26 min mix by Sonic of Music for the Dream Machine. Have both on vinyl but hey, we are all completists!!!!

It's quite unlike anything I've heard before!

I have to be in the right mood to listen to it, but that's no bad thing. The one thing that gets me about it is the laughably poor percussion on some tracks - sounds like some stoned guy just hitting any avaialble instrument with no regard for it's appropriateness to the underlying rythmn of the song!!

I still think the best Miles Davis I've heard is his show at the Isle of Wight Festival - I had that on my Sky+, which promptly corrupted and lost it before I had the chance to burn it to DVD - bah!

Sounds Of Goodbye - The Gosdin Brothers

One more final weekend's purchase made today:

I know nothing about SGC except I heard a track of theirs today on a comp a friend made - and it made me stop in my tracks. Loved it. So I'm taking a plunge on this album as an introduction. Has anyone else listened to them?

I'd have thought being a Byrds nut you'd definitely have this?

On a Byrds-related topic $26, I picked up Preflyte a couple of weeks ago. It's great. I've been listening to a lot of Byrds recently.

Last week...

Archive ~ Live @ The Zenith.

And walking through Covent Garden on Thursday night there was a guy who had set up and was beautifully playing the acoustic guitar, and as he had recorded an album, i bought a copy from him.



But i'm going through a slight hiatus of acquiring new albums of late and before that it could have been albums by....

Ignatz.

Arrington De Dionyso.

Yellow Swans.

Yeah you're welcome. Pity there's not many more folk on here who appreciate Matt's work.

I'd have thought so too! - but it's never been a top priority for some reason. I guess there are just too many albums with some tangential (if crucial) relation to the Byrds and presumably I hedged my bets on David Hemmings Happens!.

Preflyte is truly magnificent. Did you pick up the Sessions 2-disc, or the newer single-disc version (just called Preflyte)? Presumably you're not referring to the earlier CD, In the Beginning.

The edition I bought was the single-disc version. I've just put it on now - final bit of music to soothe me into Monday morning.

I'm glad the one-disc version is available now and fairly inexpensive, since In the Beginning is so scarce, and some people are loath to shell out $30 for a 2-disc set with so many alternate takes. It's just such exquisitely touching music and I wish more people knew of it. To me, Sessions is essential, but it may be a bit of an investment for the less devoted.

'Jehovahkill' is probably a good starting point. Its where I started.

Peggy Suicide would be a good start.

Glad we are speaking about a true rock n roll star in Julian Cope. Post Teadrops some of his solo output has been brilliant. If you like cool pyschedelic r n r then maybe the best place to start is Fried, Jehovahkil or Autogeddon. Really early more orthodox rock is exemplified in Saint Julian. Recent solo albums have included great fucked up rock n roll with subjects including religion, misogyny and racism - Citzen Cain'd, Dark Orgasm and You Gotta Problem With Me. All these 3 are double CD's with great covers and notes and can be bought through his excellent Head Heritage website. If you want truely fucked up r n r verying between MC5 and Sabbath the Brain Donor albums are perfect with Love Peace & Fuck probably the best and Drain'd Boner the most fucked up.
Outside of Spz i have seen JC more than anyone else and every gig has been a great religious experience! Once of the last true charasmatic and shamanic rock n roll frontmen - genius.
Start with Fried, Dark Orgasm and Love Peace & Fuck - guaranteed God-like genius!

So MUFC are you a convert? Or is it too mad for a poptastic BB fan? Intrigued?
