So either they copied the stampers or plated 'em up here, right? (Apologies in advance to Chuck if I'm butchering the process)

Sure it's not "frumpy mama?" Nice to see you back. Manny's gonna by YOU lunch, I guess...

Jimmy Giuffre - The Easy Way - (Verve cheapo French reissue) great session, w/ Ray Brown & Jim Hall.

I think mine was $3.99!

The single-sleeve (and single LP) Japanese editions are pretty sweet-looking. Even those hover around like $40.

Lungfish - Rainbows from Atoms - (Dischord)

The Coctails - Here Now Today - (Hi-Ball orig)

And with less thread-baiting than Bagatellen, too...

Ugh. Way to waste a grand!

I still like "FUCK YOU CLOWN" the best...

Wow, I didn't know he was in dire straits. I wish him well. Commitment are a cool band - rather underground, even among those circles...

Norman Dello Joio - Fantasy and Variations - (RCA-Victor Red Seal mono) Leinsdorf/Hollander, one of my dad's favorites.

Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising - (Homestead orig) "Death Valley '69" never gets old...

Those records are so trashed, though... They should be about $5 apiece, which would make this auction way overpriced already!

Well, iirc it was a long downhill from a dam, straightaway. The road did have gravel on the sides, and of course we only wore our cycling caps... but nevertheless at the time it didn't feel too dangerous! Especially when you've got a small group of training buddies doing it with you...

Yeah, that was in another lifetime, when TonyM and I would have had more to talk about bikes and less about music!

Yeah, he's lookin' mighty hip!

That Crispell is really good. My roommate really wants the Derek Bailey/Min Tanaka, but of course, she doesn't have anything to trade!

I usually drive about 90 on the highway, have gotten around 110 in the passing lane but rarely is it necessary. On a road bicycle, topped out at about 62 mph.

EBay it, dude. I have a copy already (love it), and don't really know anybody looking in my circle.

Barbara Manning - Lately I Keep Scissors - (Heyday/Rough Trade) Borrowing this beaut, a post-SF Seals fuzz-folk sea of starkness.

Yeah, I'd assume that too. Esquires are often beautiful, and rarer than their Prestige counterparts. If Sidewinder were around this week, we could hear from the resident expert on that!

Sorry, but I can't fucking STAND Nick Drake, McGregor or no McGregor. Bootlegging has been going on forever, and it's unlikely to ever change. Hell, I bought the Huseyin Ertunc bootleg when it was out because there was NO WAY I'd ever even hear the damn thing...

I'd agree. That's why some of his earlier work - with the NYCF, his own ensembles, and that wild one-off with Lars Gullin and the Tete Montoliu trio - is such an interesting extension of real traditional tenor playing into a more open context. But then again, I still hold onto and enjoy most of the blow-outs!
