Odetta - Sometimes I Feel Like Cryin' Clarence Carter - Patches The Shirelles and King Curtis - Give a Twist Party Ann Peebles - I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down Traffic - Mr. Fantasy Elvis Costello & the Attractions - Trust Bar-Kays - Dangerous marjorie fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Mar 2, 2019 |

Yeah, I've been looking for a decent copy of that particular Johnnie Taylor album (that didn't cost $100+) for years. He's one of my favourites. Ann Peebles is obviously ace as well.

caligulamprey posted:I just got back from seeing Man Man for the first time (I'd only heard two or three songs) and holy poo poo, that show was a loving riot. For some unexplained reason Rebecca Black opened for them and she was charming, genuine and appreciative of being able to do what she did. Oh drat, the show at the Hawthorne? I almost went to that, but my band wanted to practice so I had to bail. Sounds like I missed a good time. In vinyl news, I finally managed to grab two albums of The Mummies for less than $50 total, so I'm stoked about that. Speaking of missing out on shows, it seems they played a killer show here a few months ago and I had no idea. I need to up my live music game!

Yeah, Little Axe is great. Have you guys been to Tomorrow Records on Hawthorne? It seems a little small in terms of inventory, but I haven't been in to check it out yet.

I'll do you one better - I recently went to a couple shops on a Saturday and came home to find that I'd bought the same record twice in that outing. I could've sworn I'd put it back at the first store...

Sweet - I'm looking forward to seeing them tonight and grabbing a copy! e: Show was phenomenal. Super loose and fun, but still brilliant - Evan Dando was a perfect fit. They did an extended encore that was just fantastic and I got to shake Jimmy's hand at the end.

caligulamprey posted:The entire tour's been postponed. I'm honestly surprised it took as long as it did considering the average age of the group - even Disneyland shut down before The Residents pulled a tour. drat. I actually injured my foot recently so I'm glad a couple of my shows got postponed, but I'll be better by April, and I guess it was just wishful thinking everything would be back to normal by then. I'm up to about 5 cancellations through the end of the month, a few more in April, counting the Residents, which I'm sure will balloon in the next couple days. In vinyl news, I took a trip to Vancouver, B.C. a couple weeks ago and visited Zulu Records. Can't remember if I got that recommendation from here, but it was a pretty cool shop. Grabbed these and a few others:

I just ordered a record off of eBay that shipped yesterday and it's estimated to arrive the day after the Lynch album. They're both coming from the east coast (I'm on the west coast) and presumably shipping via media mail, so I'm not sure why there's such a difference. Maybe the bandcamp estimate is just generous and I'll be surprised with an earlier delivery!

Ballz posted:Keep refreshing, it does seem to be coming in and out of stock. Not sure what's up with that. Wow, that bundle does have terrible swag. That mask  The bundle includes the clear variant of the radio selections too, and I don't care as much about the score, so I just ordered the standalone clear radio one. I'll probably do the same as you and just flip it if I'm able to get the black later. Thanks for the initial heads up by the way! Edit: caligulamprey posted:It's back up again! What the gently caress is going on with this website? That's so crazy, I've been refreshing (the black variant) and it's been sold out the whole time for me. Unless you mean the clear version, which would still be weird because that one has never been sold out whenever I've checked. marjorie fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jun 25, 2020 |

So is anyone else still waiting on that one (Flame of Love) to arrive, or just me? My order page says it shipped on May 28, estimated to arrive June 11th, but nothing. I put in the order January 24th.

Ah, good idea Ballz. Thanks for the confirmation, guys; I don't mind waiting, I just didn't know if it was missing. Totally understand delays.pwn posted:The Magnolia OST is terrific, of course. I put it on the other night while dissecting and cleaning a Virtual Boy controller with corroded battery terminals. Absolutely perfect music for slow, methodical cleaning. Very cool. Might need to add that to my list.

Speaking of, I'm trying to figure out the best place to grab this. Looks like there's a delay to the US via Cherry Red's site, but the MVD site has very little description and the price makes me think it's not the double LP. Then there's the crazy special editions these guys are selling (also subject to delays shipping to the US).

caligulamprey posted:I pre-ordered via Amazon and cancelled as soon as they said it wouldn't be on my door for over a week. I've got a couple local stores that are open in a limited capacity that I'll check day of release. Yeah, I wasn't too keen on the special editions anyway; good to know about their generally bad practices. It looks like I might go the local store route too - I haven't been in 5 months and I'm sure there are some around here being safe enough to make me feel ok about it. Ugh, reminded how much I miss my therapeutic crate digging.

I hear ya - I'd usually take a long walk to one of the smaller places on my way home after work, or to the big place right when they open on the weekends, but I've been working from home and they've all been either closed or doing curbside only for so long that it's out of my routine now (or whatever semblance of a routine I have these days anyway).

Looks like bandcamp is having another revenue share waving day tomorrow, so I might order a few records there. Could use some inspiration; does anyone have something killer they've bought off of there recently or something that gets a lot of playtime for you (bonus if it's a lesser-known artist/band who might really benefit from the extra revenue)?

Good call; I'm sorely lacking in the Rob Crow vinyl area, PLUS I felt bad about missing (for a dumb reason) the Pinback show here recently(ish). CPL593H posted:Apparently you can buy Tropical gently caress Storm records on bandcamp so do that. Thank you, yes, another good call.

Yeah, no blanket change in prices, just thought I'd take advantage of the opportunity to give artists a little extra since I can't shell out for live show tickets at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions, Ballz - I'll check out the ones I'm not familiar with and I'm sure at least a couple will make the list (my musical tastes are haphazard, so I just figured anything someone takes the time to recommend would be worth checking out).

Ballz posted:I have no idea what your musical tastes are, but last month I got Heritage by Mark de Clive-Lowe and tomorrow will probably pick up Heritage II. pwn posted:Gonna proselytize on behalf of my beloved, Tuscon’s own Golden Boots. Strongly suggest DBX ‘n’ SPF. There’s 1 left. Grab this loving album! There’s also the handmade cover version if you wanna spend a few more dollars. Dmitri does the art. There’s 8 of those left. Labyryyynth is a great one too. Sadly most of their catalogue is out of print and, while mostly affordable on Discogs, that doesn’t help the artist and doesn’t fit the nature of your request. Still, check them out. And buy DBX ‘n’ SPF. Ballz posted:Oh hey, I was just looking at Chris Schlarb's Bandcamp and it looks like he found a few extra copies of the first Psychic Temple album. This is actually my favorite of the four main PT albums and the packaging is really neat. Thanks for these! I ended up getting a little something from everyone's recommendations (including that last copy of DBX 'n' SPF). Also grabbed that new Count Bass D on digital because I know I'll want to play it while driving. For the stuff that was new-to-me, I only listened to a couple samples each to see how I liked it, so when they arrive at the end of July, it's going to be a great time for new music discovery. Thanks again to everyone who suggested something!

I once bought duplicates on the same day. I saw it at a first store, waffled over it and then bought it, then a couple hours later was at another store and bought it again because I misremembered and thought I'd decided not to buy at the first place. My brain is broken. Worked out, though, because the first copy had an issue on the surface that I hadn't noticed, causing a skip during one song, while the second copy was pristine. Also, my problem is that I'm not good about actually checking discogs for dupes before buying something. Edit: It was OMD's Junk Culture, and one of these days I'm going to put in effort to try to fix the issue so I can resell it - it's a good album if you're into OMD. marjorie fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Jul 3, 2020 |

I don't think I've ever bought a dupe online because usually stuff I order online is either something specific I've been looking for, a brand new release, or something new to me that I grab due to a heads up from someone (often you guys). But when I'm crate digging, it's easy to see something and think "hey, I'd like this!" then later realize I would and do like it, which is why I already own it. But hey, at least that usually inspires me to listen to something cool that I haven't played in awhile. I also sometimes feel weird checking my discogs list in a store because I don't want to look like I'm searching online for a better deal or something, but that's my own dumb worry, I think.
