Mine's broken.
Do not let children near a turntable!

mine is in Scotland................................and I'm in Washington DC :(

Last night i sampled:

Stray Dog Cafe - Maxamillion
Libertines - I Got Sweets (bside on something or other)
Yes - Yessongs (first side)
Miles Davis - some Gil Evans stuff from a double lp hits set.

Weasles Ripped My Flesh

Wilko Johnson "Solid Senders" like The Fall still going
strong after many many years

Mrs.Miller's Greatest Hits, nobody does a better version of Hard Day's Night, haven't seen a CD version either:

Was staying overnight in a friend's house last year, in a room with his vinyl and an old mono record player. After returning from the pub, he headed off to bed, telling me to feel free to put on some tunes. I happened to put on that side of Yessongs, which of course starts off very quietly with the Stravinsky bit, so I whacked up the volume, and immediately fell into a deep alcohol-induced sleep. Then I was awoken by my extremely bemused friend returning to turn down the volume after being awoken by the strains of Siberian Khatru blasting through the house :ohdear:

About to purchase a vinyl copy of this from a friend this weekend actually :D

Must be the same friend I'm buying a few LPs from too.

Saw on his updated list that Yessongs has HOLD beside it.

On my turntable now:

Tim Buckley - Blue Afternoon

Ha, yes it is!

Yessongs is excellent, and even better considering i only paid £3 for it. My introduction to Yes and a lot to take it. May be a while before i get anything else by them.

Also, that very individual accidentally sent me a couple of texts intended for you last week (asking if you still worked in the same place etc).

Recently-
Ventures in Space
A Saucerfull Of Secrets

not heard that for years and years

any good?

afx

analord 7

Yes definately. I think as a big lot of songs (triple vinyl) is has a few 'going through the motions' moments (or maybe it's just me getting impatient with indulgent prog moments) but it's worth it just for the energy. Side one almost jumps out the stereo and grabs you.

i used to love the shadow of your smile

who sang it originally?

Just listened to my newly aquired double vinyl best of the Walker Brothers which collects all of the As and some extras i think. I'd never heard them before and was fascinated by Scott Walker's new album so thought i'd start at the beginning. Another £3 bargain.

I especially like the Bacharac numbers and Love Minus Zero, one of my favourite Dylan numbers.

An evening of dance nostalgia for me

From Our Minds To Yours Volume 1 +8 Records compilation

25 West 38th - Nu Groove Records compilation

Biorhythm - Dance Music With Bleeps - Network compilation

Flatliners - S1000 on Guerilla Records

Intoxication - React 2 Rhythm also on Guerilla

:)
heh heh. that's a good one.

Swans - I Crawled

808 State - Newbuild

Joe Meek - Vampires, Cowboys, and something else (an ep containing 4 classic instrumentals with lots of comedy creeking effects and some quality reverb drentched guitars)
Fionn Regan - Be Good Or Be Gone (i love this guy and the live version herein is quality, backed by another light little ditty)
David Gilmour feat Bowie - Arnold Layne (hmmmm... not sure.)

Roxy & Elsewhere :ohdear:

:applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

"here Fido, here Fido..."



All Cockney Rebel today. :thumbsup:

FELT
gold mine trash

Now moved on to Bebop Deluxe - Axe Victim.

I looked at the track list and thought that there were about 3 songs on here that I'd like; as it is I quite liked all of them, and really liked 4 or 5: Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape and Axe Victim are good stuff by any standards.

(I will admit to a bit of nostalgia with one or two songs, though.)

Got hold of this ace Tenth Planet psych album by The Peep Show. A UK 60s band who only made 2 singles at the time so the LP is bulked out with demos/acetates etc. Wow! They were a great band. Intricate songs....some folky and very English ...with heavy lyrics and interesting arrangements.

If you like the Kinks...or any of the slightly foppish n whimsical UK 60s freakbeat bands of the 67/68 era then u will probably like this LP. As I say - the songs are extremely strong. The singer sounds like a psychedelic Jake Thackray at times but that a good thing I think. :)

Pink Military - Do Animals Believe In God?
The Dancing Did - And Did Those Feet
Modern Eon - Fiction Tales

Three early 80s LPs which haven't seen a CD release yet as far as I know.

Because I can no longer get a stylus, erm Wharfedale Speakers

:lol:

so's mine

theres a bit of luck

cocteau twins - coco buff :wub:

Extreme Noise Terror - Peel sessions
Stefan Goldmann - the Shnic Shnac ep
3rd Face - Canto Della Liberta
Prag Vec - Expert
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles - Violent Pacification
Dicks - Peace?

The third side of Gong Live etc. I used to love the D Allen fooling about in Gong and not like so much the instrumental noodling stuff. Now I'm getting it the other way about. Allen is a bit annoying. I hate to say it. Maybe its just the mood I'm in.

Today i listened to the following:

The Walker Brothers - Greatest Hits (Great version of Love Minus Zero, as i've probably said before)
Cure - Head on the Door
Bach - 4th and 6th Bradenburg Concertos
Benny Goodman - Swing
Lester Young - The Prez (well i started to listen to this but i've realised it's a bit shit. Not really up on him but i'm assuming that this is his lowest period reissued on a crap label on the cheap. Ok for 50p though. Probably give it back to the charity shop.)

I first acquired Shack Up as part of the Italian Factory release The Double 12". This must have been one of my most played records in 1981, a year that wasn't exactly short on fantastic releases.
