It has been awhile since I have posted something on this thread! These are some recent LP acquisitions I have made that I am digging quite a bit:

Scrapper Blackwell – “Mr. Scrapper’s Blues” Scrapper Blackwell (along with Leroy Carr) issued some of the best blues of the 20’s and 30’s. He left the music business in the early forties until being rediscovered in Indianapolis in the early 60’s. Sadly, soon after recording this amazing “comeback album” he was killed during a mugging in an Indianapolis alley.

Ginnungagap – “Remeindre” Excellent OOP vinyl only (700 copies I think) acoustic improv drone from Stephen O'Malley, Alex Tucker & Tony Sylvester

New York Art Quartet – “S/T” 1964 album featuring Roswell Rudd (trombone), John Tchicai (alto sax), Lewis Worrell (bass), and Milford Graves (percussion)

Alan Silva – “Luna Surface” Super-session recorded in Paris on August 17, 1969. Alan Silva collected here many of the top free jazz players of the time, an incredible 11-piece ensemble featuring, among others, Grachan Moncur III, Archie Shepp, Anthony Braxton, Dave Burrell, Leroy Jenkins, and Malachi Favors. As a result, this is a very free record and a historical document of Pan-African high art music. – Forced Exposure

Frank Hutchinson – “Complete Works” Former coal miner regarded by many as the first white bluesman. All of his recording was done in the late 20's. This guy kills with a bottleneck.

I love this album! This and Dave Burrell's "Echo" are the best of the series.

Minneapolis people: stuff by this dude, and other awesome LPs (almost all) by black people is in a collection at the Sumner library on Olson Memorial Highway at Emerson. About a half-mile from the warehouse district.

It kills me that whenever I go in there, the records are slouching at 45 degree angles to the shelves. I fix it every time, and tell the staff every time that they're ruining them, too. They don't give a shit.

Also, hilariously enough for an African/African-American collection: they've got a James White and the Blacks record in there. Surely a mistake.

can someone please hook me up with JL's Goat? I'm jonesing for some Then Comes Dudley.

I own the CD but I don't have my ipod with me and it's not on my itunes at work and i'd rather not purchase it a second time.

sugar on top.

YOU BURN IN HELL!

that's not the response i was looking for.

Just kidding

i can totally understand why people feel that way, and nobody on either side will convince anybody on the other.

on a related note i am fucking furious that some scummy critic leaked Future of the Left's new record. I'm listening to it right now, trying to figure out if i like this new direction falco's going in, but I just feel really bad for those guys right now because i know it's alot of heartache when your album gets leaked before the release date.

Bah...I always thought metal was destroyed by thinking about it too much.

Point to make: I didn't know anything about this ICP thing until I heard and sampled a bit of it here. Now I am requesting that my local record store order some stock for me to...buy.

That's the way it goes for me and this thread. No offense intended to anyone at all, but the quality of the audio is always compromised by compression to the point where it is merely a reference, or a flawed document of something I cannot find/afford.

From where I stand, no one is losing money. In fact, I'm finding more reasons to justify trips to the food bank in order to buy more records...

Has anyone here heard the band Workshop? It's a European band...kinda folky rock with insane effect processing. I like it a lot, and I get the feeling they aren't very well known (I ran across their CD, titled 'Yog Sothoth', and bought it on a lark). I'll post it if anyone's interested.
