Onna - Onna [7763-7 / TUQ002-7]
 Reissue of this 1983 psychedelic punk single from Japanese artist Keizo Miyanish. "Cortigiana dal velo" and "Mune o tsutsunde" pair acid guitar and bass over tripped out drum programming and loops to produce a psychedelic masterpiece that fits somewhere between the first White Stains seven-inch and Les Rallizes Dénudés oeuvre circa 1980. We hope this this release and an upcoming retrospective CD featuring the recorded debut of Michio Kurihara will vastly expand their profile to music lovers worldwide. |
Offend Maggie by Deerhoof at their fantastic concert!

^^^lucky dÖOd!
when was yr birthday? Was there a thread or did we miss it completely??? How old are you? |

it's t-t-t-t-t'day, Junior! Listened to the Beck this morning, and the extra tracks could have easily stood as an album of their own. An incredible album of their own. The only track I was shocked wasn't included was "Buried Alive" or "Burning Alive" which he played live during the MG tour a couple times. Stunning acoustic track that never surfaced. But, yeah. Amazing expanded record. |

I wish there were more records like this out there. Inspiring stuff. My critical radar has gone a bit quiet of late. It's a good thing. |

My English is ever so bad too. |
What I'm saying is, BUY IT BY THE TRUCKLOADS, and we might get to hear the unheard in the future. Plus, Holy Mountain is one of the best record labels out there.

MF DOOM - Operation Doomsday ("Special edition original issue double vinyl long player - plus vintage promotional poster")
 One of those classic DOOM albums I've never picked up. I'd filled out a loyalty card at my favourite local record store so when I saw they'd done a new vinyl reissue I had no excuse not to blow it on this really... Next I need to seek out King Geedorah... |
Oh and I also ordered in:
Peste Noir - Ballade Cuntre Lo Anemi Francor  Sonic Youth - The Eternal (BEGN)  Which I absolutely will NOT be listening to early. Need to hear it right the first time. I just want the live LP/poster. |
Off some mixtape dude who was gettin us to sell his stuff at my work:

Man, exams always drive me into music buying overdrive to relieve the tension.
RZA - Bobby Digital in Stereo (Vinyl)  Aretha Franklin - Aretha's Greatest Hits (Vinyl)  Keiji Haino - Nijiumu (PSF 7)(CD)  |
A whole lotta retail therapy goin' on:
Cheval Sombre - "Cheval Sombre" CD Keith Fullerton Whitman / Geoff Mullen - "July 19 2006" LP Keith Fullerton Whitman - "Dream House" 4 x cassette Marble Sky / Earn - "Behind" cassette Cometa Fever - "Dead Light" 1-sided LP Furisubi - Three Armed Mary CDR Furisubi - Cosmic Loom CDR |
Monks - Black Monk Time. Absolutely Essential Shit.
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion. Not sure if it stands up with Feels and Strawberry Jam yet, My Girls is a great pop song though |
I'm feeling the need to hit the record stores tomorrow. Will report back.

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs (vinyl)
My first-ever copy. |
Nice! Definitley one of my favourite Waits albums. The only one I have on vinyl is Blue Valentines, which is amazing too. I need to track down Nighthawks At The Diner on wax...

did people in the early 80s actually think jazz fusion was a good idea?
this album must have cost a million dollars to make; bill withers,steve gadd,eric gale,marcus miller,randy brecker,grover washington jr, wynton marsalis, john faddis etc. appear there's a cheesy track about a kid wishing he could be playing basketball instead of being in church that makes the lp worth the $2 \  |
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique & Check Your Head on new vinyl
|
I kinda feel like I purchased some Holy Grail LPs today. My CDs got beat to shit because my daughter in high school took them to all her parties and passed em around to her friends. I found one Check on her car floor one time, out of the case.
These are two of my all-time favorite records. I would say that Check Your Head is in my top 10 favorite albums. |
Quote:
I've only really been into hip-hop for a short while, having never really put the time in to getting it as a genre before. The only Beastie's album I have gotten around to getting so far is that Paul's Boutique reissue, which I like quite a lot, but feel I need to explore further, as it's so dense I've still barely begun to get my head around it. I'm guessing you would suggest I get Check Your Head soon too? |
Yes! And I'm not a hip-hop fan. At least not yet. Just a Beasties fan. Though I do like De La Soul quite a bit.
I suspect you'll like Check Your Head even more. It feels more relaxed to me, and more like rock, in a way, probably because the Boys are doing a lot of the instrument parts themselves this time. It has more of a "live" feel to it versus sampled. |
Quote:
It took me forever to get into it. I kept trying, but while I always appreciated why I should love it, I just never really did. The album that finally did it for me was "Madvillainy", followed shortly by "Illmatic". After that it just flowed naturally. I went from ambivalence to joy in about 2 weeks. |
Thing is, I never really thought of the Beasties as hip hop. I know they are, genre-wise, but I think they crossed over enough into "alternative" in their time that I've always seen them as sort of "alt-rock." Does that make sense? I know that beyond the Beasties and De La Soul, I have not been able to make the leap of faith.
|
I get your point about the Beasties. Especially their more "punky" stuff. Paul's Boutique is pretty much straight hip-hop though, and De La Soul definitely is. But yeah, as someone else who really struggled to make the leap, I always recommend MF Doom as perhaps the easiest way in for people into more 'out' music. Was for me anyway. How do you feel about the Anticon stuff?
|
Completely unfamiliar with that.
|
Oh, they're pretty interesting. It's this label/collective of (mostly white) avant-garde-kind-of-hip-hop artists, who often inhabit some sort of weird unclassifiable space between hip-hop, folk, drone and rock, among other things. Also, they come out with lyrics like:
there's something to the fading of faith. my whole childhood was the broken guitar and my sister's silly yellow blanket. now i carry slender and sexy curved sledge hammers to break the bricks i bought. i should have never went to college, but took a trip to costa rica to cut rainforests to choke myself. ...which definitely isn't your "typical" rap writing. Worth looking into anyway. "cLOUDDEAD" is probably the "classic" project from them, but there's tons of wildly different stuff released under the Anticon banner. |
OK, thanks.
