Someone rightly commented that he had great style. Always has had. Another of the magical finds from the Elkton, MD roadside junk shop.
Here’s John Cale’s debut solo ep, Animal Justice.
If there is a required listening list, this should be on it. The album is a masterpiece of creating a space, turning any chair into a recliner. The lyrics do not recline.
A gift dug up by my friend, Flora Malves, out in Eugene, OR. I had not heard of Nigel Simpkins prior, and that’s a shame for a fan of plunderphonics. My copy is number 001415 of 1500. Good stuff here.
The Brian Eno and Roxy Music in my 45 collection. Part of my greatest expedition; the 100 or so 7” found in an Elkton, MD junk shop, for $30 about a decade ago. I think the metallic purple on the Trash vinyl is pretty chic.
I mostly had these on cassette. What a gangbang for your buck! As a young hooligan, AmRep was my teen dream label to one day sign to. One of those labels I could pick up a release from, unknown and unheard, and rarely, if ever, be disappointed.
No samplers used. Everything made with skipping records, an iphone8, and penis envy mushrooms. Video made between Barcelona and Philly. Consider it a broken 1950’s Martin Denny delight to your diet of harsh greys and crushed bits.
I think it was an interview in Lisa Carver’s Rollerderby magazine, where I first was charmed by Dame Darcy. She’s across the board creative, and this little record comes with one of her comics to illustrate the title song. Here she plays banjo, autoharp, voice, wine glass, and “baby jingle toy”.
Ive bought this record twice, because it was never returned when lent on recommendation. Essentially that’s five stars. Weird kids, know your kin.
Gloria Leonard Opens Her Holiday Gift Box & Talks to You! 33 1/3 rpm flexi-disc, inherited from my dad’s collection.
Read the card explaining the record, cassettes of animal distress cries…Joe Colley - Playback System (for Johnny Stewart) an installation document.
I bought this gem at their merch table when they opened for BlackMothSuperRainbow at Neumo’s in Seattle (2009?). I had no clue who they were but they played an awesome set. I took ecstasy and shrooms at some point and walked out on BMSR (the most boring live band I’ve gone home on twice but buy all the records by) …not even the x could hype live BMSR…anyhoo, got home and played this freak of an exotic rocker. It’s one of the few albums I pack with me when I head out to a new state and is a go to for painting. I’ve bought other albums by them since, but this is still the one for me. No info besides the band name on the record.
All but one of their entire 45 collection. The one time little basement band of Delaware all grown up and inhabiting spaced out psychedelia. Blistering live shows.
One of the many cool New Wave 7” found in the most unlikely of junk shops in Elkton, MD
My collection of Grifters 45’s (and a Hot Monkey in the corner) One of my favorite bands from the 90’s. I’ve only ever met one other person into this band and they are dead, so I suppose the Grifters shall remain a well kept secret.
