SeeMoreGlass Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Alright, So I just recently bought the repress of The Olivia Tremor Control's album Dusk at Cubist Castle and I am sitting here enjoying the hell out of it Anyone have any other Elephant Six Collective bands that I should check out... I know a lot of these albums are probably going to be hard to track down because I'm sure they are OOP on vinyl by now, but if you could post a link if it is still available that would be awesome...

serum7 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I've never gone too deep into the E6 discography, but I enjoy Apples in Stereo, Elf Power, and especially of Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 in addition to the ones mentioned, beulah and dressy bessy are part of the collective and great bands with strong catalogues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I bought the Elephant Six Surprise Tour 7" at their Chicago tour stop /500. Anyone interested in a trade for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think Beulah may be a part of this... At least their first couple of releases are on Elephant Six. I really dig Beulah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idreamofpunk Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 If you can track down a copy of 1st Imaginary Symphony for Nomad by the Music Tapes (took me years to get one), jump on that shit. One of my favorite albums of all time. Julian Koster is one of my favorite people, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listened to clips on amazon and now I really want this... thanks for all of your suggestions guys...can't wait to track this stuff down EDIT: Just bought Symphony For The Nomad (on CD..) and Preordered the New Music Tapes Album Mary's Voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 For the Lp, by comparison to some stuff, it's not THAT pricy. I paid about $30 for it. But it's actually finding someone who wants to sell it that is the problem. Then there's the "2nd Imaginary Symphony for Cloudmaking" album. Basically, Julian distributed CD-Rs with unique artwork for each one. I tried getting one from someone who said he was Julian's neighbor a while back, but he ended up wanting about $400 for it. That shit's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomfortunepa Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have a copy of Purim's Shadows on a red CD-R with unique artwork by Julian from the Jeff Mangum and Music Tapes show in Philly. He had 4 or 5 variations of the artwork for them and they sold out quickly. On a side note - if the Music Tapes are phenomenal live. It's like watching a play with all their handmade contraptions / props. And Jeff Mangum needs no description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Checked on popsike.com looks like the only copy of the Elephant Six Holiday Surprise Tour 7" ever listed went for $56 USD. Haven't seen one for sale on Discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Nevermind, I got this when I saw The Music Tapes open for Olivia Tremor Control. Had it tucked away. Mine is a red label cd-r with no text, and a cut out of a person with a music staff floating out of the top of their open head with the info on the back. Just had it tucked away 'cause I'm afraid something will happen to the little cut out dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Jeff magnum played a one night only show in LA this year and there were pretty much tears on my face the whole time, It seriously was the most beautiful fucking thing to see him play music live. He seems to be the J.D. Salinger of Indie Music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CD has an elephant on it with the name of the EP misspelled and it is acknowledged on the drawing that is misspelled. Haha Jeff magnum played a one night only show in LA this year and there were pretty much tears on my face the whole time, It seriously was the most beautiful fucking thing to see him play music live. He seems to be the J.D. Salinger of Indie Music. It really is one of the most beautiful things to experience. He filled all three floors in an old Irvine Auditorium at UPenn. The acoustics in there were perfect and everyone there was crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Saw Jeff play two nights in Portland a few months back. The version of April 8th that they played was insane. I was also glad to see the Fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesewoodenideas Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Check out A Hawk And A Hacksaw. Can't go wrong with any of the E6 bands. Getting an E6 collection together myself on vinyl. The popup Lp and 7"s from The Music Tapes are cool. Also check out The Singing Saw at christmastime by julian koster - best weirdest christmas album ever!

SeeMoreGlass Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 I just got the new music tapes album Mary's Voice in the mail today. Listened to it twice, and I fucking love it I got the First Imaginary Symphony for a Nomad CD (not the LP yet...but I am looking) and I listened to it once...I feel like it will be getting multiple listens in the very near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesewoodenideas Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Mary;s Voice is a brilliant album. The popup artwork they do is great. Here is a picture of my three Music Tapes LP's together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
