Today, I have mostly been listening to...

[alanmck]

Ahem..

(didn't know about it until 4 weeks ago, either--> See July Finds)

it was your finds post, which made alan aware of it. damn, i found today another copy for 1 euro, haha.

sorry. fixed. i love you both equally but in different ways.

[blue burt]

the album that nobody else knows. apart from a Martin and Blue Burt and probably some other deeeeeeeep Baltic dudes

Now that's more like it

Nice - and surprisingly cheap as it seems - besides being well-known - her records are much in demand in Estonia

it was lucky find. previous one i bought this summer was 15.

i've been listening some other weekend finds: William DeVaughn "Be Thankful For What You Got" LP, seems to be common in Scandinavia, so one was left for me too,
and Bulgarian beat girl Pasha Hristova 7"

song
maybe someone can tell me what's the original?

Possibly last quiet Sunday for a while - home made boot fair of sorts - - dug out a batch of stuff I've not heard for a wee while... in sequence...

John Cameron - Kes OST (Trunk Records) - Lush strings and meadow fed melodies - perfect start for a Sunday morning


Coil - Loves Secret Domain (Threshold House) - Possibly their finest hour, designed for post club action - lopsided, off kilter digital grooves, PHat beats with a Lynchian ambience


The Sun City Girls - Horse Cock Phepner (Placebo Records) - Not for the faint hearted - lo-fi free-jazz flavoured Zappa-esque guitar workouts to profanity riddled lounge numbers


Current 93 - Looney Runes (Durtro) - Post industrial folk cross over laced with backward tape action and apocalyptic lyrics and the lass from Strawberry Switchblade


Current 93 and Barry Dransfield, 30th July 1992 Walthamstow - along with the poster found in the Current LP - not bad gig for a fiver - I believe Barry didn't play on the night...


Barry Dransfield - S/T (Guerssen) - Outstanding set of proper folk songs - great vocal


Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I See A Darkness (Palace Records) - Dark American SSW collection with minimal band accompaniment


Bill Fay Group - Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow (Drag City) - Assemblage to make the "lost" 3rd LP - vinyl of Durtro expanded CD set - top collection of songs carrying an undercurrent of mellow xian tinged introspection with a sleepy late night FM radio quality


Jim Collins - Music Performed By The High Mass (Prosper) - Xian psych private flavour - spacey, strummed, sparse, epic moods with a loner lyric


Marcello Giombini & Enzo Barbarino - Transvitaexpress (Pro Civitate Christiana) - a proper trip to the other side in back in a 70s-Italian-nightmare-ish-synth-prog-ost-roller-coaster-ride


Vic Chesnutt - Is the Actor Happy? (Texas Hotel) - Sadly missed song-smith. The finest collection of songs imaginable with a solid rural porch outlook


Fleetwood Mac - Rumors (Warner Brothers) - I guess you either love or hate this - stadium ass blowin' action - Japnese edition with photo book and bi-lingual lyrics, OBI - the works


Cat Stevens - Harold and Maude OST (Vinyl Films) - Possibly the best OST of original songs ever - great songs end-to-end - Vinyl films over the top fanboy package...


Ivor Cutler - Life In a Scotch Sitting Room Vol. II (Harvest) - Wry words and wisdone from the only north of the border natural historian... it's all true

[radtradCat]

maybe someone can tell me what's the original?

Against my better judgement, I'll help you out: it's Lies by the Knickerbockers.


Not expecting any thanks or even just an acknowledgement of the post, would be a first on here anyway.

[jakartajive]

Listen, kiddo, you think YOU have had a bad day . . .

[d7bohs]

Listen, kiddo, you think YOU have had a bad day . . .

Catharsis mate.

This is that moment after which nothing can ever be the same.

[Knitwearfan]

All I have found myself today, is in a pit of despair

[priima]

thanks!
it was honest question and it's honest 'thank you'!

[jakartajive]

I've had this on constant rotation since yesterday.



Incredible lounge psych perfection.

i would never ever take this off the turntable if i had a copy hugh!
might settle with the recent reissue if its still available...
thanks for bringing it back to mind.

[MPFlapp]

@jakartajive - never heard of the "Time Will Tell" LP until your post - on-line clips sound fantastic - on the list as a re-issue - OGs are a bit on the expensive side...

[radtradCat]

This looks mad John.
More info please sir.

Bump.

[BoneyVotel]

Bump.

When I got this LP I played it solid for about two weeks, not had it on since, it's excellent from memory, solo plucking of the Psaltery, that thing he has there, will have to dig it out to be fair

[Head Gardener]

this weeks listening choice

[MPFlapp]

What a fantastic listing "station" - - home made..?

Top choice of LP too - I couldn't find a single Fall record in the house yesterday - must all be in storage

[d7bohs]

this weeks listening choice

That's fantastic, and I'm kicking myself because I dumped a non-functioning radiogram last week that would have been ideal for such a conversion.

The Coil and the Bonnie Prince are among my favourites and I think their peaks(although Sleazy had some great stuff with Gristle and Oldham has made better records as Palace). I was listening to the first Bill Fay on repeat today, possibly best record ever?I was hesitant to pick up the Drag City record but maybe I'll give it a try.
That Sun City Girls is godawful though, I nearly threw a party when I sold it.

"Master and Everyone" is my top Will Oldham LP by "Darkness" I'd not heard end-to-end for a longtime...

- it is a bit hard going, but like The Frog's "My Daughter the Broad" I'm suckered in by the minds behind the output - not the best SCG LP by a mile - still time-and-a-place

[Knitwearfan]

In an effort to get over yesterdays debacle, both of these. The first one is probably the only record I have ever regretted letting go

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I See A Darkness (Palace Records) - Dark American SSW collection with minimal band accompaniment

That album is immense.



I've been listening to this almost every day since returning from California. It's almost perfect but for the clunky wince-inducing 'Glory of Love'.

Be safe in the knowledge that you are now after that superstar of world football, Yossi Benayoun

"Master and Everyone" is my top Will Oldham LP by "Darkness" I'd not heard end-to-end for a longtime...

I never got "Master And Everyone'. "I See A Darkness" is not consistent but it has "Death To Everyone" so its a winner. The title track is good too but it is now a Johnny Cash song so there is no point in listening to the Oldham version. "Joya" is still my favourite non-Palace release of his.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one...

[MPFlapp]

Not had "Joya" on for a good while - gave it a spin earlier and can see where your coming from...

As a song-smith, Oldham is a bit of a proper craftsman - the songs "I See A Darkness" and "Death To Everyone" are classics. The Cash cover with Oldham on backing vocals is solid gold.

Was lucky enough to see Oldham solo in Venice a few years ago... where he played back-to-back hits - odd timings, whistling solos and all wraped in his quite unique quirky delivery - one of the best gigs I've ever seen.

P.G. Six "Parlour Tricks and Porch Favourites" (Perhaps Transparent) - mix of originals and covers. Trad folk arrangements accompanied by odd stringed instruments worthy of Bob Stewart - still not found any clips of ye old Psaltery

Im playing this right now
ann sexton - you've been gone too long

A cheapie I picked up in SF but probably one of my favourites from the haul (ironically a lot of the cheap gambles turned out the best picks). One particular song 'The Royal Road at the World's End' is a sprawling and mesmerizing thing of beauty. Just stunning. Alas nobody has stuck it up on Youtube yet or I'd demand you all listen to it. If anybody is in Croydon pop over for a cup of tea and I'll play it to you.

Tea with a spin of yon Alasdair Roberts record is availavle in Vienna - scored this on release - fantastic 12"

"The Amber Gatherers" LP is a proper badger too...

[Head Gardener]

a bit like Fink - remember him?

[Mr Naga]

"The Amber Gatherers" LP is a proper badger too...

Has it got any epics like 'The Royal Road...'? I love the way it builds and twists and turns over one track. My only comparison was 'Speak Ya Clout' by Gang Starr which is obviously just a rubbish comparison!
