Tunesday Tunes and Miscellaneous Ramblings about Life in the Foodchain

[audiobill]

It lives!!! I just don't really keep track on that "what's spinning" thread as much as I'd like. Something about a 23 page thread just doesn't appeal to me.

I dusted off a couple of Legendary RR comps to take to the gym. I was looking for Nobody's most excellent punk rock comp and couldn't find it it in time. Instead I grabbed Building on Fire by the late, kinda great Darius. Also took out the equally late Jdaniels Judybats comp. Still gonna hunt down that punk rock comp and if I still can't find it, I'll grab one of J's many punk rock comps that are just as good but being elusive adds to the mystique.

HEY!, Audiobill!! What do you think of the Voxtrot EP? I've had that on order like forever from the pink haired, pierced and tatooed girl from the record store. I can't wait to get it.

AND HEY! Swish! I've spent a lot of time with that Long Winters CD too. Got it on a rec from the husband of the pink haired, pierced and tatooed girl at the record store. While it's not the kind of thing that might really grab a hold of me, I've found myself playing it quite a bit. It's a good little album.

Also been playing a SBD boot from Muse of a 2006 show. I kinda like these guys and would think it would appeal to the non-indie, non-classical crowd around here.

Found time for lots and lots of other goodies including some new Siouixsie and the Banshees bootlegs and also some discs that haven't seen the light of day for a while:

Cibo Mato-Stereo Type A (whatever happened to Miho anyway?)
Radio 4 - Gotham
Clash-Cut The Crap
Burning Ambitions, A History Of Punk vol.1
The Cure- Faith
and some others that I can't really recall right now

Oh, and I got myself a little starter turntable. It's a Dual CS 508 that I got for 20 bucks. I added an Audiotechnica 71 ELC cartridge that I got for 19 bucks. It's in the shop getting lubed and having the cart. put on correctly. I still haven't bought a preamp for it but until I settle on one I'll use it with the denon 3802 or an older Yamaha receiver with a phono input. If I decide it's worth the hassle I'll look at picking up some newer vinyl and getting a more substantial rig.

Hey, Jim.

That Voxtrot is very good. I think you'll be pleased with the suggestion from the girl with the pink hair. Ramesh Srivastava's singing is very infectious and his voice is refreshing. I like this band tons & I think you'll find they're upbeat to your liking.

There's another band that made me think of you when I first heard them; and their CD is all-JC-good: CSS - Cansei De Ser Sexy. I think you'll love this release in the same way you loved The Electric Six, when you first raved on about them & hooked the rest of us into their great dance sound.

Lmk what you think,

In fairness, it was Nobody that first turned me onto Elec. Six, I just probably liked it more than most, except perhaps J and Nobody.

I'm really looking forward to that Voxtrot and wish it would finally show up in stock or else I'm just gonna order it off the net. Thanks for the other tip, I'll check it out tonight.

My apologies to Nobody... great taste, as usual, bud.
