I think Frank Zappa, like Led Zeppelin, is for teenagers. So goofy. Susie cream cheese and all that nonsense.

Also went to Bloomfest today, a free street faire in the arts district of downtown. I saw Mike Watt and Saccharine Trust, who both killed, and dropped by Artform Studios:

Nina Simone - Black Gold
Maxwell - Embrya
The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around

I had slept on those Baroness albums for too long. Just bought Red Album from eBay and Blue Record from Amazon. Everyone wins.

[bmack86]

Was the Blue from the same seller already sold out? They had a great shipping price for the 2: 3 bucks in total.

[cansei de ser sexme]

Pre ordered the new How to Dress Well w/ the 7" and also the new Animal Collective silver foil cover. Also just got the Dirty Projectors special edition LP and the John Maus rarities thing on pink vinyl. Domino is really dumb about combining shipping. Ribbon Mart and Domino use the same shipping company, so I emailed seeing if they would combine my John Maus and Dirty Projectors albums, ($6 shipping each for both, which is stupid in itself) which they were unable to do because they were both pre orders. Both showed up yesterday at the same time from USPS from the same address. Reeaaaal dumb.

Edit: For those that didn't get the Drums Not Dead on the ebay link that was posted, it looks like they are doing a full repress....

I got a refund on my ebay order cause it ends up being like $10 cheaper.

Didn't seem to be any problems, but we will see. I didn't pay much for shipping either, which is why I love buying vinyl through Amazon.

I literally put those records back five times at Rasputin in Pleasant Hill. I wonder if they are still there.

Thanks for that, just did the same.

I did the same thing so many times at Amoeba, and when I finally went with the intent to get them, they were sold out. They have a copy of the Red album on the wall right now for $100.

[ods..]

Thanks for that, just did the same.

Ditto, thank you.

Jesus, good score. I had forgotten how good Black Gold is, shit hasn't left my turntable since Thursday night.

[bballarl]

When I listened on Spotify, that was my first time hearing it. I just lucked into finding it yesterday. What a killer record.

Just grabbed both; thanks for posting about them!

[bmack86]

They're repressing all of the albums it seems. I saw They Were Wrong and They Threw Us up on Amazon last night.

[greghead]

That was your first time, really!? Hell yeah. The calypso drums on "Westwind" always leave me awed. And I LOVE listening to her talk, something about her voice and her speaking-meter makes my brain & heart melt into one.

[ods..]

David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (1983 RE)
Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall
Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

[Down Rodeo]

Outer Space - Akashic Record Events 1986-1990
Gary War - Jared's Lot
High Aura'd - Sanguine Futures
Helm - Impossible Symmetry
Eric Lanham - The Sincere Interruption
Golden Retriever - Occupied With The Unspoken

I'm definitely going to pre-order Drum's Not Dead. And it looks like I need to get some Baroness vinyl too.

Yup. I know a ton of her material, but have never really sat down with an album until now. That one was my favorite, and it was really decently priced at this soul/funk store I go to in downtown.

Solid haul. How do you like the Eric Lanham?

Fiona Apple-The Idler Wheel
Frank Ocean-Channel Orange

Both albums have been praised by many and I haven't really heard too much of either, so I feel i'm in for quite the treat.

[chiapet]

I opened a box that arrived in the mail this morning, and for a moment I thought it was someone playing a joke on me... a wonderful, wonderful joke, but still.

Then I remembered, no, I actually did buy these.

Bobby Brown - My Prerogative 12"
Johnny Gill - Johnny Gill LP
Monie Love - It's a Shame (My Sister) (Remixes) 12"
Full Force - Old Flames Never Die 12"
Deee-Lite - Bring Me Your Love 12"
Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Everything Will B-Fine 12"
Gary "Jackmaster" Wallace - House Has Taken Over Me 12"
L'Trimm - Cars With the Boom 12"
The JAMs (aka The Timelords) - Burn the Beat 12" **

The last two are GLORIOUS.



**will have to do until I can find a copy of the original Burn the Bastards release.

[frazzles]

I just got Monster Rally - Beyond the Sea in the mail today by total surprise. I don't remember if I ordered it or when I did.

[greghead]

I think Frank Zappa, like Led Zeppelin, is for teenagers. So goofy. Susie cream cheese and all that nonsense.

I don't know, Zappa was a hell of an arranger and his bands were always filled with ace players.

[IceyHotshot]

Vinyl? I thought Frank Ocean's LP weren't comin' out til the 31st.

Oh, and it's far and away the best thing this year. Fiona's is one of the only ones reaching to similar heights.
