I realize that post made me sound like collector scum a bit. I am not.

If you were collector scum you would give collecting a good name.

I've just bought this:
CHORA(S)SAN TIME-COURT MIRAGE LIVE AT THE GRIMM MUSEUM VOLUME 1

*******HORIZONTAL ACTION (AluminumKnotEye - ‘Trunk Lunker’ LP, Dead Beat)
AluminumKnotEye have been around, in one form or another, for about ten
years. They’ve always been odd, fucked-up, strange, nearly unclassifiable. They
don’t really care about making friends. They can clear the room. They come from
small backwoods WI burgs with names like “Chilton” and “Manitowoc.” They
sound like a queer mix between Chrome, the Residents, the Electric Eels, Devo, Big
Black, the Pagans and a myriad of other bygone weirdo/punk groups. They are

loud, abrasive, ugly. They are fucking great. They are occasionally a mechanical mess. They are sometimes unpredictable. They perform and have recorded songs with titles like “Final Fling of the Amputee” and “Cannibal Chew Cud.” They sound like they mean it. They also perform and have recorded one of my current favorite songs: “Scales in the Tub,” which, somehow, reminds me of a sci-fi themed CCR tune reworked by renegade robots. And they just released a CD that contains the aforementioned material and it’s very good and you should buy it. (Eric Lastname)

*******TERMINAL BOREDEOM (AluminumKnotEye - ‘Trunk Lunker’ LP, Dead Beat)
After a low-key decade-long run, Wisconsin’s AluminumKnotEye finally unleash an alb proper. These guys were making strange noise before strange noise was the current rave, before the nouveau indie bohemes copped the “art” schtick, before the last crop of garage punks dropped their Rip Off’s covers and headed for discordant, angular horseshit that’s as empty and worthless as it is fake.

Simultaneously:

Liars- WIXIW
Japandroids- Celebration Rock
Sigur Ros- Valtari
Dope/body- Natural History.

Coming from separate places, though, so I'm still waiting on a couple of them.

I need to buy some new LPs but I'm fucked if I know what to spend my hard-earned cash on. Spiritualized? Liars? I also have a hankering for some Echo & Bunnymen reissues.

Recommendations and advice, please... .

Buy Merzbow's Kibbutz.

Buy the new Spiritualized, the new Liars, and some Echo and the Bunnymen.

Can't go wrong with the first two. I don't know which Echo you've heard/already have, but if you tell me Ill be happy to tell you where to go from there.

been considering getting that, it's kinda pricey for my taste but a siiiick looking picture disc and pretty good album

Still don't know what to buy. Feeling only lukewarm about everything I'm sseing in the store these days.

I've heard good things about the Echo debut and about Ocean or whatever it's called.

I listened to samples of the new Spiritualized and they didn't do much for me. I haven't sampled Liars yet.

I feel like I should revisit Echo & the Bunnymen. I shared a bedroom with my brother growing up and while I listened to Black Flag and MDC, he listened to EATB and New Order. I was pretty dismissive of his music at the time and although I clearly had the better taste in music I was probably unfairly harsh about some of the bands he liked.

I've been thinking maybe a copy of BJM's My Bloody Underground and Boris's Heavy Rocks.

Maybe a record by Mount Carmel. You may like them.

A bit too early-70s boogie rock sounding for my tastes. But thanks.

Twas only 18 bucks. I missed out on totem 1 and regret it.

What??? Have you gone avant-garde now and started listening to Ride and Boris? Well done mate.

I bought this from LF Records
HÁKARL/DANIEL ALEXANDER HIGNELL - BAMBI

 

and they sent this one for free!
DUNCAN BRUCE - NEW GLASS TAPU

 

Your misperceptions of me have always been amusing. Essentially you think that since I'm "older" I must be like a lot of people my age who never got into any other kind of music besides what they grew up on. And that I've never been adventurous in my musical interests.

^ seriously...you do have a pretty good taste in music if I say so myself....which really shouldn't mean anything.....because my taste in music is shit.......

I think it's more amusing that you amuse yourself with my misperception of you while I'm only amusing myself with your perception of my perception of you. We are a barrel of laughs we are.

Well, you are a funny one, Porky, I'll give you that.

I don't know. I am finding it increasingly difficult to find new stuff that means much to me. I have to assume this is me--although I've always been very open to new stuff. So I'm not sure what's going on. I just haven't heard much in the last couple of years that really hits home with me.

That's very generous of you.

Oh, you're the real Porky? Or are there two of you now? (God help us.)

Today I'll be ordering this.

And her7" with wata

Fuck it. This paycheck I'm buying me and the old lady some nice clothes.

you do know that none of us ever listened to avant-garde music until Genteel Death pointed us towards it, right? And in that spirit, im done with you, you're shit, just a second rate imposter who's been living off porkys legacy for years. Damn you, and all your works.

I'm in good company, then.

LOL

Fuck no. But it's very charitable of you to humor that flash prick by telling him he's funny. I'm sure you made his day.
