Ensemble Pearl! (This is the inside of the gatefold cover)

Melvins- Houdini

Minutemen (mix). i heart mike watt.

man, this album is GAWDLY.

i've been revisiting my old rock favs these past few days.

this was my fav album when i was 16. still unbelievably good.

I've been in a bummer mood so I am listening to Black Sabbath and Nick Cave..

Iggy & The Stooges - Ready to Die (on NPR's first listen)

First impression so far : not very good and inspired, some good guitar tones by James Williamson but the songs don't seem to be very memorable.

Golden Gunn Golden Gunn
Golden Hiss Messanger + Steve Gunn

So, I just listened through for the first time and was forced to flip and listen again. SUCH a mellow record - perfect for warmer weather and beer drinking.

The Durutti Column - Short stories for Pauline

buke and gase

hell yeah

I came across this yesterday, new. Plastic wrap and all, while I was bugging the local vinyl guy about his failure to obtain a single freaking copy of the Body/Head LP since I first ordered it last goddamn year. He was making excuses for his ineptitude when I randomly said "got any Mars? Long shot, but I can't find anything anywhere and I'm trying to replace some lost music."

After a brief, awkward moment when he asked, "which Mars? Noise Mars? Or Mars Volta or something?"
To which I replied "ahh... Kinda 'noise' Mars, but..."
("Punk Mars though, right?")
"Well, I've no idea how many bands are called Mars, but if there are any others, they need a history lesson. I'm looking for NYC no-wave Mars. So kinda noise, kinda punk, and kinda Television. The 'Mars 78' Mars!"
(Yeah, ok yeah- right on. I'll have it next week!")
*eye roll*
(Dude they've got no distribution and they don't sell so what do you want me to... Wait... Hey, here we go!"

So that was cool as fuck and made my day.
It's on CD but I don't give a fuck. I'm glad I started trolling the small record stores again. It's paid off immensely.

should I listen to the new Stooges?

If you like the Stopges, then probably not.

I don't plan on it.

I quite agree with that review of it:

So no it's not really worth a listen.

that medley is just so cool. Shows hundreds of cool riff ideas which could have made at least a couple of cool records... :eek::cool:

Nick Drake - Five leaves left

Joni Mitchell - Blue

I can't stop playing the new Daft Punk song.

Xulsigiae

RIP Jeff Hanneman.

Tim Buckley - Blue afternoon
