Yes, Mike, the Bay Area doesn't need more vinyl. Keep it all here in Florida. I've strangely starting buying vinyl though don't own a tt. It's like a weird force has taken over. Four albums last week alone.

Shostakovich Cello Concertos No. 1 & 2 (listening to cd wondering how it would sound on vinyl)

Bill Evans Sunday at Village Vanguard

Lee Morgan Lee-Way

NIN Ghosts

There is a nice local deal on a Nottingham Spacedeck/Acespace arm/Lyra Helicon cart for $2500. I know it's a lot of money but I think it's a pretty nice deal. The guy is in Miami. Just sell that crazy dual pc headphone amp of yours. :)

Just got back from my monthly trip to the local record shop, picked up:

Gov't Mule: Deep End Vol 1

Gov't Mule: Deep End Vol 2

The Who: Quadrophenia

Wes Montgomery Trio

Beck Mutations

The Best of Velvet Underground

All used, paid around 6-8$ each.

I went for vinyl, but found so many goodies in the used cd bin that I blew my budget there.

There was a MMW (Combustication) cd that I wanted to get, but when I saw how scratched up it was (when I got to the counter), I passed on it.

I was planning on purchasing the 2 Gov't Mule CDs (both are double disc) anyway - so I was psyched to find them for 8$ a pop in the used bin.

Posted this on another thread, but just picked up a used copy of MoFi mastered Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - A Night in Tunisia. I need to grab more Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers albums.

I recommend Indestructible, as it has tunes not often covered by others. IDK if you do vinyl or not, but Music Matters will be releasing a 45 of it, remastered by Steve Hoffman. Hopefully in 2008.

I'll be all over that if it does in fact appear.

Which versions?

The two Peter Gabriel are the remasters and the two Steely Dan are original Canadian MCA CDs. I've read good things on SH forums about the Gabriel remasters and they were very cheap so I decided to grab them. The Steely Dan MCA are supposed to be the best on CD and they feature the good old AAD label. :D

Stray - Abuse By Proxy 2-Disc Limited Edition

stray-abuse-by-proxy-ltd.jpg

Side project of Erica Dunham (Unter Null), and as anyone who frequents the WAYLTRN? thread knows, I have an obsession with really like The Failure Epiphany. Where Unter Null is more Terror/EBM, Stray is more ambient/experimental. Doesn't come out 'til May 26th, and it'll be shipping from Alpha-Matrix in the EU, which means I probably won't get it until July. But whatever... Preordered.

Tartar Lamb - Sixty Metonymies

TL-cover.jpg

Another side project, this one from Toby Driver and Mia Matsumiya of Kayo Dot. I'm a recent convert to the allure of Kayo Dot, and not just because I have a bit of a crush on Mia.

Wishlisted and wishlisted...

And WRT: Mia -- first of all, I didn't know they had a chick in the band.

And: I bet she plays bass.

(wanders off, looks it up)

(buzzer sound) -- WRONG!!!1!

Choirs of the Eye is amazing; I ended up finding Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue relatively disappointing, so I only ended up listening to it once -- I should listen to it again, I remember not disliking it, just not finding anything like "The Antique" or "Manifold Curiosity" on it. Did you download the live version of "The Antique" from their site? Is awesome.

Choirs of the Eye is amazing. "The Antique" is probably my favorite track of theirs, so I'll have to DL it. Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongueis definitely a little more out there. I tend to listen to them both in a row, so they aren't completely separate entities in my head. And their new one, Blue Lambency Downward has leaked. I've only given it a spin or two, but it will definitely be purchased once it comes out.

Speaking of purchasing leaked albums, I just picked up:

Portishead - Third

31ywyuo1yOL._SS500_.jpg

And got a free 7" single of "Machine Gun".

Definitely quite the polarizing album... There seems to be little middle ground for fans. They seem to love it or hate it. I'm definitely in the love it camp, and think it's quite an achievement. I'm really looking forward to giving the final product a spint.
