no part of it

Thanks! I think I signed up for their email list. It is wild to see cassette labels get so much attention. I come from an experimental background, it's really a grind for a lot of labels, but labels releasing music on cassette, even fledgling nobodies, are getting quite a bit of attention. I'm fascinatingly jealous, but not so much that I won't pay attention.

I found this forum because an image search led me to a really great collage that was the cover art for an experimental cassette released in Portugal. I'm a little surprised at the amount of douchebaggery and shallow, mouth-breather, dude-bro etiquette. Honestly, I don't like to walk into someone's house and criticize, but why isn't anyone talking about rare records and why is the "top 10 desert island" list in the "Everything Else" forum? What the hell is wrong with you guys? This is about vinyl, right? I consider myself a serious collector. I thought I had found a haven for a second, but alas, it's the same morons, different avatars, apparently. If you motherfuckers want to drool over Blink 182 reissues, that is fine, but don't come on my thread trying to condescend to me about music. If you can't read between the lines and see that this is a thread for basically "sharing/showing off your knowledge of rare records" (that you don't own yet for various reasons), with a bit of a "wishful thinking" underpinning, that is your own problem. I can write at length about any one of the records I listed up there. Make yourself look stupid all you want. This isn't the special olympics, and I won't wait for you to catch up. If you don't have anything nice to say, go to another thread. We're all stocked up on assholes here.

Ah, you had me excited for a second. I thought you meant the Drew McDowall tape. I have been watching discogs for that. No, I'm sure the Iceage tape is good, (I mean that silver foil shit is expensive!) but I don't really do post-rock pr post-punk of any kind. I mean basically it's music from before I was 10 years old or contemporary experimental/noise. I don't do a whole lot of music music. But thanks

Innit though?!!! I'll take that album with the bonus track "Too Young" and I'll be all set. I like their other albums too, but not nearly as much.

I didn't realize it was you that put it in your top list. I don't knock it, I just think it's unusual. And that's fine. The way I think the world should work isn't happening, people are liking the Beatles over the Rolling Stones and I just think that's silly. No one has commented on my top list probably because they think it's unusual (or horrible). It was tough not to put the Rolling Stones in there. But if I did put the Stones on the list, it'd be "Metamorphosis", which is probably equally unusual to others. Compared to say "Exile on Main Street" or "Aftermath" or anything else. I love their early blues records, especially "Out of Our Heads", but Metamorphosis is like the perfect breakup album and not in a sad way : "I'd Rather Be Out With The Boys".... and so on.....

There are some good tracks on it, I just don't understand who it is a conceptual album. How "Back In The USSR" or "They Say It's Your Birthday" are part of some concept. I appreciate that they were inspired by John Cage and that, and that they were messing with reel to reels as they recorded, playing things backwards and whatnot. Hell, they were studying under the Maharashi at that time, and my meditation teacher was taught by a guy that was taught by him, so that's cool. I also tend to be a bit turned off by overtly political subject matter, so if that is in there somehow, it's even more reason that the White Album is not for me. "She's So Heavy" and "Why Dont' We Do It In The Road", and that one song, "I'm Lonely" etc are good, but goddamn I went through the whole thread this morning waiting for my coffee to kick in and listening to The Stooges, and I only saw one person put an album by The Stones in there. And it was Goats Head Soup! That's an odd one is all. I'm alone in this, but while I think the Rolling Stones are beyond great at just about everything they touched in the 60s, for my money the best album start to finish by them is "Metamorphosis", and I think that one was mainly out-takes, if I'm not mistaken.

I have a personal punk playlist ready to go, for anyone who happens to be interested (on spotify): https://open.spotify.com/user/arvofingers/playlist/2aZyUh9fUidA5gvq6HMNgf This is for my personal purposes and not "all time" this or "best" that. It's just what gets me back to the basics sometimes.

RAMONES - s/t Adicts - Sound of Music The Crucifucks - Our Will Be Done The Damned - Damned Damned Damned The Queers - Day Late and a Dollar Short The Casualties - For The Punx Black Flag - The First Four Years Rudimentary Peni - The EPs of RP (if I have to choose one, it'd be the Archaic EP) Blanks 77 - Tanked & Pogoed The Spits - 1st s/t Honorable Mentions: Subhumans - The Day The Country Died Anything by Chrome Stooges - Funhouse Beastie Boys - Aglio Y Olio The Oi Scouts - Boots For The Beatdown Plasmatics - Beyond The Valley of 1984 GG Allin - Public Animal #1

I'm on the same page. I'm new here, and I got kind of a backlash for doing a similar list in the vinyl section. It's about and pertaining to vinyl! Right?

I've never gotten into the Beatles, but I respect their songwriting. That said, The White Album has got to be one of the most over-rated albums I can think of. It's purportedly a concept album, but it sounds like a bunch of thrown together out-takes for the most part. I guess it inspired Charles Manson and Family, but .....

I also would have been keen to add Fats Waller, but since it was the 30s, all there is are greatest hits albums, basically, unless I wanted to bring a single 78 rpm record to the desert island.

Yeah, it would be hard for me to do without Black Sabbath, Maggot Brain, or Richard D James. Especially I Care Because You Do. I think SABOTAGE might be my desert island if it were on there, or the s/t, but I even like Technical Ecstasy. I'm not about to start a thread of albums I've listened to on repeat, but BS is on there.

Desert Island in no order: 1. Marilyn Manson - Anti Christ Superstar 2. David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World 3. COIL - Horse Rotorvator 4. Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska 5. T. Rex - Slider 6. Foetus - Flow 7. Wendy Rene - After Laughter (2xLP on Light In The Attic) 8. Lee Hazlewood - Trouble Is A Lonesome Town 9. Nilsson Sings Newman 10. Ministry - With Sympathy It will be hard to do without The Stooges, The Ramones, early Nine Inch Nails, or Depeche Mode, but I'll get by.

Well, I specified vinyl on mine, I didn't think it was the wrong message board, although for the COIL album, the 3xLP goes for $1000, so I'd take the CD, even though this itself goes for $100. I didn't think it was necessarily just things I want to buy. I have a list of 140 items I want to buy, and I maintain it regularly. What I wanted to address in this list are things that are specialized, prohibitive, or just things I haven't gotten around to. I didn't think that has been covered elsewhere.

Hi. I'm new here. First time on a vinyl board of any kind. I searched, and didn't see any thread like this. A friend recently said he was going to buy me a certain record for Christmas, and I started discouraging it and suggesting other things instead. I figured this thread could be for people to think (absurdly) out loud, and show off their bad taste. Forgive me. Maybe people will provide me with more absurdly priced things to look at or other things we haven't gotten around to. 1. Foetus - DEAF! LP 2. Foetus - ACHE LP 3. Coil - Ape of Naples (3 LP set or CD) 4. Lee Hazlewood - Lee Hazlewoodism LP 5. Lee Hazlewood - 98% American Mom & Apple Pie 1929 Crash Band LP 6. Renaldo & The Loaf - Arabic Yodelling LP 7. Snakefinger - Greener Postures 8. The Manson Family Sings The Songs of Charles Manson LP 9. Ennio Morricone - The Thing OST LP 10. Jack Nitzsche - The Lonely Surfer 11. Andromeda Strain LP with Hexagon sleeve 12. Nurse with Wound - Surveillance Lounge 2xLP 13. Nightmare - Great Balls of Fire/Witch Woman 7" 14. Agony Bag - Rabies is a Killer 7" 15. The Five Blobs - The Blob 7" 16. Ron 'Pate's Debonairs - Raudelunas Pataphysical Revue LP 17. Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time (LP, Album) 18. Les Rallizes Denudes - Heavier Than A Death In The Family 2xLP 19. Thomas Leer and Robert Rental - The Bridge LP 20. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction, original banned cover LP 21.
