I found a Herb Alpert LP in a charity shop (thrift store, for our American friends) and thought it was one of those LPs that sold nothing. Turns out Herb was huge like a mountain.

Meanwhile, I've also got a 40s/50s UK jazz compilation called Homemade Jam 2 which is one of my favourite records (and if a certain bandmate of mine is reading, I want it back you fucker). If anyone sees the first edition, buy it and I'll pay you back handsomely.

EDIT: Turns out it's from 1936/8. Crikey. If anyone can read The language of this website I'd be most grateful to know what it's saying.

EDIT 2: Don't worry, there's actually an English section. Excellent. Well, I shall report back as to whether the first edition is any good once it arrives in my mail box. Oh, happy days.

Also, David Munrow's 'Instruments of the middle ages and renaissance' is pretty spectacular. It's quite an important LP amongst early music afficionnados, but not so much amongst you lot (or anyone else I know), I suspect. One day I'll be amongst the echelons of early music collectors, you mark my words.

Sounds like you already ordered, but if still necessary then I can read that language. The moving text in red mentions something about getting half-price when you're buying 6 LPs or more.

HAHA man i love unsane too.

i love all that shit, as i already posted.. enemy mine, cutthroats 9, theory of ruin, cherubs, fudge tunnel.. that insane noise rock...

unsane made it cool to scream through a distorted guitar amp and to put dead people on your album covers..

I had Flying Testicle too, but didn't enjoy it and deleted it.


A few uber-obscure 7"s I acquired at 13:
Bagpipe Operation - Mt. Lavaty
The Sellouts - Hey Mofo
D.Q.E. - Masturbation Made a Mess Out of Me
Thee S.T.P. - Johnny Danger
etc. etc.

Do you know if they released anything else besides the first 2 LPs and the 45?


Toddle on over to Boa Melody Bar, run by Gayle from Electroscope.

i know a lot of people who like orthrelm but everybody seems to not like this album (except the dude who ranked it at 50 on bitchfork's 50 albums of '05) and it's probably the best album of the '00s.

Cardinal Rob 07.01.2007 12:20 PM

My friend's really into OV. I haven't heard it myself.

I've never met a single person who knows this chap. It's pronounced 'Reeton', the French slang for Henry.

I also have a record by sixties British band the Primitives. Album named Maladjusted.
I bought it for there was a version of the Stangeloves' Cara-Lin on it (does anyone else know the Strangeloves?).
It is quite hilariously awful. As awful as the cover.
My reason for keeping it is not that they performed Cara-Lin nicely, they failed at that, but... somehow, as they became "big" in Italy, they sang rock standards in Italian.
That's why I kept the CD, for that terrible accent carried by the powerful voice of a hunk who thought he was a superstar.
