i'm listening to tom gabel's solo ep for the first time and it's not that good.

Pretty good so far.

Which one? Partch is amazing. I only actually own "The Wayward", but it's a jewel. I should get more...

Rhys Chatham - A Crimson Grail

yeh, he's pretty good.

I finally found it.
I'll post it on the free jazz thread at some point.

Firehose! ha,ha,ha :D

i got my hands on some dexedrine to do some major paper writing and damn are they working. believe it or not, this feels like a much smoother apmphetamine to me than even adderal, which usually leaves me a teeth chattering, paranoid, limp cock mess. This is more mellow, but steadier. It's 3:10 am and I'm as sharp as I was at noon. The best part, 5 grams of high grade portland grass to come down with.

Anywyas, electric eels-the eyeball of hell is now off, the fugs-the village fugs sins ballads of contempt. total speed rock, as in tunes good to listen to on speed. rock and roll that comes off as the more dangerous variety seems to work best with amphetamines, as melodies and hooks sound quite endearing when youre mind is sharpened to a blade but at the same time you wanna hear some druggy danger in the mix. ESPdisk rock and folk, the velvets, the stones, the stooges, proto punk/glam, electric eels, hardcore, thats what I like when I'm flying high.

is this copied & pasted from Lester Bangs' blog?

SY- WM

my favorite of theirs.

Ha ha!

Did you come to asheville to pick that up, or does knoxville have its own record stores? I saw that in the store here last week and almost got it. But shit, when records are now more than 20 bucks a pop, I get a little more hesitant.

dead meadow-shivering king & others

Yeah, I went to Voltage Records, saw that sitting there, & felt the urge to buy it. Knoxville, has a couple record stores, the most visited is Disc Exchange, but there are the nice mom & pop type stores here as well. Lost & Found is where I usually go, but there's also Basement Records. It's basically just a guy who runs it all himself. Quite a huge selection, but not many new pressings.

While going through the stack of vinyl I had chosen to purchase, "Ckeck Your Head" was probably the most expensive. I just couldn't resist. It's adding to my excitement of seeing them @ Bonnaroo.

depeche mode-speak & spell

huh? If you mean Kid606 - Shout At The Doner, then how is it?

uh, yeh. KID606 is the owner of Tigerbeat6 records. I have like 20 something of his albums. His new album is called SHOUT AT THE DONER.



... I didnt pick this up yet, though. How is it?

good. But... well... Okay so the first listen is like "wow, that band is playing Wu-Tang songs." But the thing is, they really just sound like yr listening to the instrumental versions of the actual tracks. EMA is such a tight band, but why aren't the solo'ing on this shit? I mean... these tracks, when devoid of MC's are BEGGING for a f'ing ridonk guitar solo, or trumpets scatting, or keys fluttering along ala Monk. So yeah. It's cool. But ends up more like good background music when it could've been amazing.

maybe the Sid606 version uses a SID synth (ie: C64) and that's where the name comes from?
