yeah, boy! check this, all up in some rekkid fair action today. for i, it’s been the best year yet. lotta records carried home by this crnknd.
singles
cheap trick: “oh boy” bw “if you want my love”. both are demo versions. both are outstanding. esp the b side. o man. who can deny cheap trick? looks good, feels good, tastes good. sure as hell SMELLS good, too.
make up: “r u a believer”. love the make up. haven’t cracked open this particular dub narcotic disco plate yet, but i’m sure they won’t let me down.
v/a: “railroad songs”. took a chance on this one. looking forward.
unwound: “totality” bw “mkultra”. whoo. my unwound 45s collection is gettn pretty damn formidable. that’ll help me get the ladies: “hey lady, i’ve got a pretty big unwound 45 collection back at home” yknow?
love of everything/joan of arc/owen/make believe: “association of utopian hologram swallowers”. love the joanfrc family so farking mach.
shellac: “the guy who invented fire” / “rambler song” / “billiard player”. yes. yes i did get this.
mecca normal: “forlorn” bw “he didn’t say”. one of my favorrite punk bands. no kidding. jean smith is the female equivalent of hr to me.
tortoise: “gooseneck” bw “mosquito”. can’t lose with this band. there’s no such thing as a tortoise defeat.
circus lupus: “pop man” bw “let’s talk about luck”. whoo man. borrowed this from someone for awhile then gave it back. thought i’d never hear “pop man” again. such a great song. these dudes were an early nineties dischord band, after the fashion of the crownhate ruin. thing’s probly wrth some money . . .
joan of arc: “many times i’ve mistaken” bw “eventuall, all at once”. this one’s an ultimate act of indulgence on my part: i already own the album these cuts’re from. it’s worth having it on the seventh inch, tho.
ted leo / fiery furnaces: “i’m looking through you” bw “norweigian wood”. it’s awesome. rubber soul cubbers.
elton john: “goodbye yellowbrick road” backed with “young man’s blues”. oh, elton!
wreckless eric: “take the cash” bw “let’s go to the pictures”. this was the find of the day, i think. found it in an ootherwise hopeless looking one dollar bin. it’s really good. from the stiff rcrds days.
ok and then here’s the long players i got:
th guess who: “wild one”
don caballero: “what burns never returns”. havnt hurd much “don cab” but this double elpy was only eight bux, so i decided to go with it. funny, this is the most i spent on a record today. good shit, no?
songs ohia: s/t. havent heard this alby yet, but i love me some molinage. “it’s really good” says my buddy blast wagon, “sounds like he’s sixteen”. awesome.
ronny james dio: “holy diver”. hell. fucking. yes.
buck owens: “open up your heart”
stones: “some girls”. needed a copy of this on vinyl.
ahmad jemal trio: “but not for me”.
total dollars spent? sixty eight. not too shabby, huh?
