I'm buying two albums this weekend...
 

...tell me what to buy. I will most likely get a Sun City Girls album, since I don't really own anything by them, and I like them a lot. Maybe some Sonny Sharrock as well. I really don't know though, it's all up in the air right now.

SO just name 2 albums that are good? That's way too much pressure, son. I dnt know what you have. Don't know what yr missing.

buying two sonny sharrock albums and skipping SCG sounds like a good idea

get a sun city girls album, any will do, I don't know what's in print anymore. And get some Fahey!

I"ve never heard SSG's. I hear their name thrown around a lot. What's their dilly, yo?

get the Women LP, it's amazing and fresh sounding.

They are every type of music you can imagine... but it is always their own sound.

No pressure. Just throw stuff out, and if I've got it, I've got it; if I don't, I don't.

Although it's very possible that I don't, since most of the stuff I had is no lost thanks to my computer crashing, and it's taught me the importance of actually buying music. DON'T PREACH TO ME! I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON, OK?!?

Ahem, ok, so anyway, good call on the Fahey. Though it's a bit more traditional than my current mood, it would still be a good buy; besides, the way my moods in music go, by Sunday it be be dead on.

Haha, it would take like a 20 page thread to sum them up. Luckily there's one on this site somewhere. They have well over a 100 releases and have dabbled in every genre you can think of (from surf to noise to audio collages to punk to prank phone calls to .... I mean, it goes on and on), even some genres they invented. They're a very consciously loose Tibetan-jazz-666-from-Hell "freaky" folk group with no quality control, yet almost all their releases ARE quality. And they have a good sense of humor. Probably the best band ever actually. But you really have to dig into their discography, 1 or 2 releases don't sum them up.. hell, 102 releases don't even sum them up...

buy teh new Animal Collective... if you can find it, lolz.

exactly.
and you can save the money from the second lp to get some beers. you wont need money for a new LP for a while then

that women lp is good.

Get PRAYER FOR CHIBI!!!

i liked the women release, but after a few listens it felt like i didn't need to hear it again...

I've never heard SCG, so I'm for Sharrock.

But I mean. I guess my opinion is a bit slanted.

sounds like something I'd love. I always tend to get into bands/artists with gigantic discographies of varying genres.

Prayer for Chibi is good... not sure if it will make this cut though...

word, prayer for chibi is immense.

Immense, yes, but I'm not feeling immense this week. Maybe next week. I know I've felt immense before, and I'm sure I will feel it again.

I should get some Jandek too. It's weird going from having a lot of music to having none. I pretty much have to start over :)

That's why I always buy music.

Although, yesterday my car was broken into with about 12 CDs in it, including Evol, The Birthday Party, etc.

They didn't steal anything. :confused:

Clearly, robbers have poor taste in music. Fuckers.

they were/are the greatest band of all time. the velvets come close.

hahaha
but every story about broke into cars, they never steal Cds. as far as I know. they are just for money and maybe the radio, i think

That's... a good thing...

I would try to buy music every now and then, in order to feel ok downloading I guess, but now I am making a vow to always pay for it. Plus, I've thought more about how most of the music I listen to is not made by rich rock stars, so I can't use the excuse that they are making tons of money and I'm not effecting anything. They need my money to keep doing what they are doing.

well, two newish albums i love right now are circuit des yeux-symphone and the pengo-frangrant wounds double cdr on chocolate monk, but you prolly wont get those will you?

for sharrock, check out the last exit lp (sharrock and brottzman fire jazz punk noise wildness, one of my favorite records actually) and for scg, i guess torch of the mystics is the best to start with as its the most immediately satisfying.

buy something from:

Faust

and


Paul Metzger

I've actually had CDs stolen. Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, David Bowie, Bob Marley, and Tim Buckley. I think they're just particular.

I like CDY... I've never heard Pengo, maybe I should check them out?

CDY is pretty much sold out, good luck.

what do they sound like? I've never heard of this band but I've seen porkmarras talking about them so I reckon they can be good.

Revealed the infuence of the Stars Of The Lid, the trio, but, a moment does not hesitate to bring to light of the more dramatic and tenebrous shadings, a lot that in the ambient is only derelitto a substrate torn to pieces from radioactive outbreaks and solar storms. Gorgo disumano of and the Prurient cavernicolo of is, instead, meat alive of traslate pulsioni omicide in sonic desperation. And if the industrial odissea of , ulteriorly protesa to rip, in depth, the veil of Psiche, to made accounts “materializes” the sound in a crossing of concrete musique and free-noise to the vitriol (like of the Big Black frullati with to pieces of Einsturzende Neubaten), the expansion adorns-sinfonica of , with its turbe from kammerspiel finishes them, not ago other that to repeat, sommessamente, the mantra of the imminent end…

Atsonic, this is your brain:


And this is your brain on drugs:


Any questions?

If you don't own Tusk by Fleetwood Mac you should probably get that taken care of.

That goes for everyone on the board actually.

I love threads and conversations about buying new music.

Ok, SCG are good. A noisy to nice listen on most of the albums you can find at ..I'm guessing Shake-It records?... anyways, yeah they are good band to explore.

Sonny Sharrock is epic. His guitar playing makes most of the neo-noise kids get wet in the pants, front side and back. If you haven't soulseeked it before, then buy ''Black Woman'' by Mr. Sharrock.

Fahey is cool, but if you want a little better ''folky'' stuff then buy some Robbie Basho. Falconer's Arm Vol.I & II are sure to make you happy, as will Venus In Cancer.

Jandek, well weird folk that is seemingly dismissable, but is always hard to turn off, but, you know all of this don't you?

All of the above are good and you won't be dissapointed by any of them, I can say that because I've seen you gag on beer before. Below you will find more people to check out:

Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
Wesley Willis - anything
Growing - All The Way
Moondog - 1969
Flying Lotus - anything
Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
Amon Duul II - Yeti

I've owned it since the day of its original release. It's not my favorite Mac though.

i'll say this until i'm blue in the face

harry pussy http://www.myspace.com/harrypussy
teenage panzerkorps http://www.myspace.com/teenagepanzerkorpsrules

sounds like those thieves did you a favour

I think this may be the way I go, good call.

T&B, never heard of teenage panzerkorps before, it's actually pretty cool. I didn't like that first song on their myspace, so I wasn't sure, but the second and third are great.

Which is?

It's def my #1. Future Games and Then Play On are close runners-up.

afterthefact, yeeeeeeah, I was pretty fucked up when I wrote that... heh. I just slept it off.

I never said I didn't prefer the second over the first. I did.

I figured it was your way of expressing your feelings of a great band :)
