Bankrupted myself (I don't have a job, apart from baby-sitting), but my most recent outing yielded Dusty In Memphis, Soviet Kitsch, and a box of classical. (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky (probably butchered that), and Chopin). Sort of a 'greatest hits' thing. This was sometime last weekend, Friday, I think. Enjoying all of them quite a bit.

It was c. 4pm Sunday. We'd dropped 2nd born off @ Uni in Norwich, and were having a short break in your fair city - open topped tour, colleges, the river, Fitzwilliam Museum & Fopp. Yes, it's still a great shop, fingers crossed it maintains the spirit and catches on again.Otis Westinghouse wrote:Was that Bad Ambassador in the Oxfam shop? You were in my local store! This wasn't at 9.30 on Monday was it? Come on, it's a great place, isn't it? Sadly the £4 rack seemes to have gone. I liked that addition.
Oh, didn't notice a 'Board Elite' badge, so the Oxfam chappie might have been anybody. Could it have been a small world scenario?

Recently raided the local vinyl store and found these for $13 after trading in some CD's and Movies:
Highway 61 revisited and the Biograph box set by Bob Dylan
Sandinista and Combat Rock by the Clash
The White Album/white vinyl - The Beatles
Jukebox Dury- an Ian Dury best of collection
The Hollies sing Dylan
Nina Simone in Concert
Then I searched another vinyl store and found The Harry Nilsson-John Lennon collaboration- "Pussy Cats" for $10.
I had been looking for this ever since the Walkmen covered the whole album in 2006.

Picked up Thurston Moore's Trees Outside the Academy solo album this weekend. Pretty great stuff and distinguished by the use of acoustic guitar on most tracks. J Mascis adds a couple of guitar solos as well. This is only the second solo album from Thurston, and while the previous one was much more like Sonic Youth, this one is quite different.

Yep, just read about three different ways the album will be available :Who Shot Sam? wrote:.....Also, Radiohead's new album is supposed to be released in some sort of deluxe CD+vinyl edition later in the year. I will almost certainly be getting that.
1. download , beginning October 10; you pay what you want
2. part of the deluxe Discbox ; you also get the release on LP and as a digital download, plus an enhanced bonus CD packed with eight more tracks, photos, and artwork (and an LP of the bonus tracks), plus art and lyrics booklets. This thing costs £40.00/$81.00. Release date - December.
3. traditional CD - early 2008.

Hurrah! Their catalogue is a treasure trove.StrictTime wrote:XTC's Waxworks Singles collection (Is that what you call a singles album? I always refer to Squeeze's Singles 45s and Under as an album), a thrift store treasure. I'm really starting to warm up to these guys.

Early birthday presents, from me to me. Instead of saving, as I should have, the twenty bucks I had, I bought: The Best of Chess Blues, Vol. II, Skylarking(XTC), and John Wesley Harding's New Deal(Well, JWH, duh). Also got the 45 Hometown/I'm The Man (Joe Jackson) and Pure Pop For Now People (Nick Lowe) on vinyl. It had better be good, because I flipped monkey bananas when I saw it. Oh, and The Best of The Spinners of cassette. Now and then one just has to be self-indulgent.
I also follow the two-for-me, one-for-them method of Christmas shopping when it comes to music. That Nick Lowe is a real find! And you will definitely enjoy it.
I picked up the new Stars album, In Our Bedroom After the War and am enjoying very much. At the same time I picked up the new Rosebuds for the G/F and the Robert Plant/Allison Kraus thingy for her father.

Funny you should say that now, as I just spun it for the first time. And oh, god, was it awesome. New favourite, definitely. Turntable staple, certainly. I just can't wait till someone I know gets a converter so I can take it around with me and make my friends shake their heads in confusion once again. Anything that makes me laugh, sing along, and dance on first listen is good by me. Mmmm, I can't say enough, really. I'm hoping the impression won't fade upon subsequent listens. And, of course, I take the usual pleasure in loving things that other people have never heard of, even though it's been around for years. It now resides with my other favourites on the wall (Squeezing Out Sparks, Hissing of Summer Lawns, King of America, East Side Story, for anyone keeping count).mood swung wrote:And we wait to hear the Strict Time Meets PPFNP(JofC).
I also listened to Skylarking which struck me as both eminently cool and utterly bizarre. It reminded me of a week when I was around ten; I had the flu and everything melted into one big fever-haze.
Best of Chess Blues was excellent as well. I need to go get the other volume; I saw it at the same store. At the time, I didn't have the cash. I think, now, that's it some of the best music I've heard. And I also understand more fully why 'blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll.'
JWH tomorrow, certainly. I've high hopes.
Well, status report done....signing out, sarge....
