Even funnier hearing a man of such senior years as yourself using it! ;)

On this double recommendation I ordered this last week and it arived this morning. No chance to hear it yet, but also ordered 4 others.

The Byrds, Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
The Seeds, A Web Of Sound
Max Romeo, Open The Iron Gate 1973-77
The Cardigans, Life

Already had the Byrds album (which is absolutely sublime - but love the cover and wanted it on vinyl and for £5.99 who cares if I've got a silver spinner too - good for the car eh).

The Cardigans album is something I stuck on Minidisc years ago and has since become a regular in the car - probably their sweetest and best - in the days when Nina DID wear a Cardigan ... and a hairslide :-) before she became a rock chick.

However these are no longer the last 5 albums as the VIP record fair rolled into town on Saturday and I got copies of:

Kraftwerk, Man Machine - woh - how have I managed 25 years of my life without this album?

Hits of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood - proper classy lounge (but not as good as Nancy's first album - Boots - which is worth it for her version of Day Tripper alone - the sound track to an Austin Powers movie they haven't yet made)

Neil Young, Harvest - looked ok but unfortunately knackered (maybe a scrub up'll sort it out)

and finally an 80s Trojan Reggae compilation - which is frankly a bit duff. oh well, yer pays yer money ...

That Dusty album is probably one my top ten evers :) Such a cool album, the needle freezes to the groove.

How are you getting on with the Zappa? Its the only Zappa album I have. Bought experimentally about 20 years ago and played intermittently since. To be honest I never really got it at the time and its only in the last six months that its clicked. Anyone else got any Zappa recommendations?
 
On vinyl:
Steel wheels - Saxon
Roachford - Roachford
Waking hours - Del Amitri
The last Cinderella one (warped a bit, but for £1 who cares - got to be rare for 1990 glam metal!)

My last CD was a Tom Robinson freebie courtesy of Ilockyer :)
 
Just found out Incubus are putting "A Crow Left of the Murder" out on Vinyl, might have to invest... Aparently, there's also a rare pressing of the samples Kilmore used on the Morning View album which he personally sells every now and again, fetching upwards of $75, and only on E-Pay. Can't find it though, must not be selling anymore

I like Uncle Meat, Weasels Ripped My Flesh, Freak Out and We're Only In It For The Money (for "Flower Punk", mostly). Not a big Zappa fan however, I think he's mostly an arse, but these all seem like decent records to me.

Hmmm. I'm sure we've been down this road before but my pesonal faves:

Broadway the Hard Way
One Size Fits All
Sheikh Yerbouti
You are What You Is
Apostrophe.

but I guess I generally prefer the mid 70's to 80's stuff anyway !
 
vinyl? what's that :p

my last 5 CD purchases, if i can remember them... newest first:


Underworld OST... brilliand collaboration of artists :)
Psydoll - The Daughter Of Dr. Neumann... Japanese industrial/synth/noise :p
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step... just love it
The Last Days Of Jesus - Songs From The Psycho TV... Slovakian Goth Band for the 99.9% of you that haven't heard of them :D
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit... best album ever.
 
Erm, will four do?

The Band ââ'¬â€œ Music from the Big Pink.
Fairport Convention ââ'¬â€œ Unhalfbricking.
Both remastered versions, both a fiver from Fopp, both utterly fab, with more than their fair share of delicious Dylan covers.

Charles Mingus ââ'¬â€œ The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady. Ah Um it's not. This may need some work, though I'm not sure I'm ever going to love that burping tuba.
Ornette Coleman ââ'¬â€œ Change of the Century. Vinyl copy. This is more like it. Wild and free, yet controlled and cohesive. Dig that plastic sax!

Okay, let's call it four-and-a-half: also borrowed Miles Davis' Bitches Brew from my neighbour. Apart from sounding like it was recorded through a blanket, it's resonant of that bad-trip moment from every right-on movie of the late 60s and early 70s. Discordant, dislocated, distended. What's known as an acquired taste, I believe.

:lol:

Quality name for an album! I've not heard anything from these for aggggggges. Have you had a chance to listen to them yet?
 
Hiya Mo

initial impression is that Tweekend is different to the other albums, maybe a tad more hands in the air with a bit of girly vocals
Legion of Boom is a goer from the start, more inline with Vegas.
Both good though, but for me i like the Vegas line of stuff:)
