No problemo- I've got some more cool stuff I plan on uploading soon. Some really violent noisy stuff. Yum.

When i say i'm not keen on the album it just didn't jump out as much as the EP to me, which i think is excellent. Thanks for taking the time to upload it edpriesner, much appreciated

I wonder if there's a way I can change my name to just Ed. I didn't realize I was gonna be stuck with edpriesner. This post serves no purpose.

I e-mailed Mr. Ortmann (Nihilist Records) earlier, and he said he has plenty of the Phut 7"'s, but they don't have the coolguy collector carrot packaging anymore (which consists of two slabs of pegboard bolted together and screened, with the poor 7" seriously pinned betwixt. The pegboard sheds and craps things up, by the way...).

If you just want to listen to it, talk his price down. If you are hot for the packaging (Andy is great at packaging his stuff in fairly unique ways), let me know and I'll send you mine. I still listen to the 7", albeit probably only once a year.

does anyone happen to have a copy of this guy. the top one.

or a recommendation of something similar.

i've been noodling a bit with subtractive synthesis lately and i am curious to hear this guy...

I am not so concerned with the coolguy packaging as the 7" itself. I'll send him an e-mail, even though the websitesays they are sold out. There is also an MP3 of Phyllius Quandary for anyone else interested.

Thanks for the info, Rayj.

All righty. Now Nina is a pretty nice lady to say the least (with what I assume is a full Inbox)...but she doesn't have nice shit to say about everybody. In fact, if I'll recall correctly, I can recall her dissing a grand total of two artists/bands (not counting Candlebox). Two!!

"Fuck Sting."
-Nina

Here's some "words of wisdom" from the Chicago Tribune about the first of two Police reunion concerts at Wrigley Field (an appropriate location):

"'It should be very orderly, just based on the demographics of the concert-goers,' said police spokeswoman Monique Bond. 'We're not anticipating any problems.'"

"'I think the Cubs have been very sensitive in terms of the artist, having a certain type of band with a certain following, maybe a little older, more mature crowd,' said Ald. Thomas Tunney who represents Wrigleyville and supported the concerts. 'I think they've been very careful to make sure that they're respectful to the neighborhood.'"

"Marianne Malaychuk of Chicago was a huge Police fan in the band's heyday. She has managed to get her son, Michael, 14, hooked as well. 'It's nice to be able to find some music we can both enjoy,' she said."

"'We like classical rock,' said Nicole Gregory, 15, a Lakeview High School student born 15 years after the Police released their first single. 'The bands I like are either dead or broken up.'"
"At the moment, the Police are neither, as evidenced by the buckets of money their reunion concert is making."
"'On a worldwide basis, it's the tour of the year,' said Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the concert trade publication Pollstar. 'It's over the top.'"
"Hey, if the Rolling Stones can do it, why not the comparatively youthful Sting and company?"
"'It's like any other band that's been around as long as they have,' Bongiovanni said. 'Their audience has gotten older with them.'"
"That brings us to Karen Kadlecik, 36 and her good friend Geni Hendershot, 37. They were both in high school when the Police were the biggest band around."
"'Back then I would've been wearing fluorescent everything,' said Kadlecik, waxing nostalgic.
"'I would've had a big bow in my hair,' Hendershot added. 'We would have thought we were so cool.'"
"Now Kadlecik manages a jewelry store in Elgin and stays away from neon. Hendershot is a diabetes care specialist and had no bow in her hair."
"'Now we're career women,' Kadlecik said. 'She's married and I'm divorced.'"
"She paused a moment."
"'Sting is still hot,' she said."

I also found some hilarious pictures in the Tribune, but I can't post them from work...it's really funny shit, I'll have to edit this post later to show you.

That being said, I like a lot of these songs:

The Police - Every Breath You Take: The Classics

In the spirit of '80s bands that the board generally dislikes, I've been finding myself listening to really early R.E.M. lately. This album is a little bit into their career, but it's still pretty early. It's sorta forgotten as far as R.E.M. albums go. "Life and How To Live It" is one of my favorite R.E.M. songs.

R.E.M. - Fables of the Reconstruction

I think it's a bad idea.

All right then. It's coming down.

Have you ever found a new copy of any of those records in a store in the 2000s, zom?

No, and I haven't looked.

I got mine many years ago. I was under the impression that all of the Killdozer stuff was still in print, maybe I'm wrong.
