And at half mast.

So my question is: What are we all doing indoors sitting at our computers on this beautiful day off? Or is it bad weather where y'all are or something?

Sunn O)))-the Black One
Howlin' Wolf- the Best Of

my parents came to visit me and brought some cds. a pile of classical stuff like baroque and russion compsers, brahms 4th, and a few other stuff.
and they also brought me 4 cds that i asked for
X-wild gift
Electrelane-no shouts no calls
MV+EE with the bummer road-green blues
and most importantly
albert ayler-spiritual unity

all of them are fucking brilliant, but the AA and electrelane take the cake for me.

Yeah man, mixed in with all the shitty (Shaggy, etc...) were a few jems a Some of the standouts were Talking Heads- Speaking In Tongues (cd)
Tom Waits- Rain Dogs (LP! I hope she decides to give this to me, too.. I asked, but shedidn't want to part with it).
A couple Simon + Garfunkel LP's
etc.

Wow. A musical aunt is a rare thing. She sounds very kool.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Kollaps
Devo - Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? A: WE ARE DEVO!
The Fall - B-Sides
Cabarete Voltaire - Code (oh well)

I`m so happy i finally found Kollaps on good old vinyl.

DDN Deluxe was the last album I bought. Before that it was probably something by Bright Eyes.

Just received the 12 cd 'Desertshore Installation' by Throbbing Gristle.
It's a complete, warts 'n all recording of the six, 2 hour sessions that they did at the ICA last month.
Fuck knows when I'll get a chance to listen to it all, but it looks lovely in its TG branded CD wallet.

today arrived on glorious vinyl:

neurosis - given to the rising (beautiful work, triple gatefold style artwork, insert, thick vinyl)

melt banana - bambi's dilemma (finally!!!)

Confusion/Gentleman- Fela Kuti

Shellac - Excellent Italian Greyhound
Saxon - Crusader (picture disc, five bucks)

yesterday i bought the new york dolls debut for my friend's birthday, she's getting into glam rock and i thought this was quite appropiate.

I went to Black Dog records here in Houston this saturday and found some cool Police 7" singles I did not have (Da Doo Doo Doo, Synchronicity II, and Don't Stand So Close To Me, all with intact picture sleeves)
and I also had my riend willord point this album out, which I bought, because I have no Buddy Miles on album. It is a funky soul funk guitar thing but what struck me the most was it's title

From 1969

Buddy Miles
EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR SKULL



does anyone know if there is any connection between this 1969 record and the sonic's Expressway?

that is very appropriate! get her the dirtiest glam around!

yeah rob, that's what i thought, to give her the real deal.

today, much to my surprise and ecstasy, came in the mail:

astral social club - super grease (vinyl)
astral social club - neon priboch (cd)
xxl (xiu xiu larsen) - ¿spicchiology? (cd with bonus cd)

i went to the post office today and awaiting for me were:

khanate - khnt vs stockholm reish (cd)
galax - never ending space trackin' (cd)
telehorse uma - je déteste le sexe (cd-r)
telehorse uma - belts & other ideas (cd-r)

How's that xxl? Is it like xiu xiu?

Today I am buying zeitgeist.

Our Love To Admire- Interpol

yes, actually it's the second collaboration between xiu xiu and italian band larsen, it's melancholic weird songs, less on the abrassive or folky side of xiu2; most of the songs are instrumental. jamie sings a song, caralee sings another song; i quite like it but i have heard it all the way through just once.
