Someone finally reissued the Primitive Calculators LP (limited to 300 for some reason), if anyone needs it. Dark entries has it--link is here:

It's de-listed now, but are you sure it wasn't the one reissued years back (some of which came with a 7")?

The one from a few years ago with the 7" wasn't a reissue, I think it was NOS.

Desire also reissued Ike Yard on vinyl, who's Stuart plays in a band with Mark C from Live Skull. I think it's likely they're doing Live Skull reissues.

Don't forget her pre-Uzi band Dangerous Birds.

though the flipside written by bandmate Lori Green I think is catchier:

Whatever you decide to get out of it or not.

Also curious if Mike runs Co-Op 87 as well, also that I'm still selling stuff, and so is Silent Barn.

A few months ago I was having some money (and space) troubles, so I brought hundreds of records to Co-Op 87 where Ben from Lemonade priced everything. It was a lot of crap and some ok stuff. He split it into two piles, "I'll give you XXX for this pile, and can't give you anything for that pile". I said take it all. Last week at the Brooklyn Flee Record Fair there was a table with nothing but dollar records. I was looking through and was like "these guys are selling the exact kinds of stuff I was getting rid of". A few second later I realized they were my records and it was the Co-Op 87 table.

Does Mike not still run Co-Op 87 anyway?

A week later I took a smaller amount of slightly better stuff to Heaven Street, then put the good stuff up on discogs. Sold some good stuff really fast for good money, but now that I'm working all the time and selling less, I may take it all down. Maybe take it to Silent Barn. There's not much left, http://www.discogs.com/seller/popaural

I just want to say that I was in a Chipotle today, as I often am when I'm in shitty parts of manhattan and need a lot of food quick, and they were unloading trays and trays of avocados. Presumably to make the guacamole with. I think that's a perfect example of what makes them better than average fast food chains.

Those Instant Pop Classics bootlegs, purchased at Princeton Record Exchange, changed me.

nobody ever talks about that first Main album which was super krauty and rhythmic and not "ambient-isolationist" (not a term I invented, it was going around back then).

McDonald's owned Chipotle. They "spun it out" as a separate company that went public (CMG).

I can't stand it. It is Wexican food. White Mexican food. It's tacos should come with mayonnaise. No flavor.

Taco Hell is waaay better. And the cat food tacos at Jack in the Crack aint bad either.

I'm going to get all flame-war about this, because it's a funny thing to get angry about it but it's also annoying when people respond to posts but seem to have not read them. Chipotle existed on it's own, McDonalds invested, then became majority owner for a while, then divested, for what that's worth.

It's obviously not real mexican food. You'd be an idiot to substitute it for mexican food or compare it to mexican food. When I want mexican food I go to neighborhoods where mexicans make mexican food for mexicans.

But in entire multi-block areas of certain cities where there are absolutely no food options, getting a burrito bowl and loading up with the various salsas and the pricey guac and you end up with a substantial gut-bomb of a meal that is relatively fresh and pretty tasty and generally not gross tasting, compared to say, McDonalds, Taco Bell or other fast food options. And they play Les Rita Mitsouko.

McDonalds invested in Chipotle in 1998 and fully divested in 2006.

McDonalds is delicious processed salt-delivery vehicles, where the meat is so processed that it loses all flavor, which is then added back in at the end with flavorings and salt. Totally delicious, and totally disgusting.

Chipotle is just as bad for you, but that's more a questions of self-control. And it doesn't make me feel sick like McDonalds does.

Isn't Chipolte crappy $7 whiteboy burritos? I'm not trying to be whatever, I've just always ignored it on that assumption and if it's good or something I wanna try it out.

Suburban Reptiles were OK I guess, but I think the world needs another Dum Dum Boys reissue first, no? Was there ever vinyl of that Nocturnal Projections CD? Were the tracks not on "Hate" any good? I'm a complete Jefferies sap.

No vinyl of Nocturnal Projections I think. I was talking about doing it ages ago but I took too long and Graeme got annoyed, so I lost that chance. Such good stuff.

Anyway, don't think of Chipotle as burritos for a start. Definitely don't think of it as mexican food. Think of it as relatively fresh and decently tasty collection of meats and beans and guac for a bunch of extra money, often the only option available in terrible seas of bad fastfood and korean steam-table joints. They have a test kitchen in chelsea that looks like any other Chipotle but they make special dishes and it's manned by a Top Chef Master/Iron Chef contestent Nate Appleman. The meats are par cooked then sous-vided at every location, so generally it's worlds better than any fast food.

Chipolte has the best music. It's the whole chain. I don't know who programs it but I've heard the Slits' Heard It Through a Grapevine and Marcia Baila by Les Rita Mitsouko while eating buritto bowls on 34th street.

I haven't come close to parting w/ stuff in my personal collection, but i've actually thought about it lately, it's that dismal overall w/ a bleak horizon ahead.  already are trying to do it.

I've done some major purging, as much for space as money. Brought a ton of stuff to CO-OP 87, then a batch to Heaven Street, and finally selling the good stuff (that I don't want) on discogs. I tried to be "brutal" but I'm not going to miss anything I'm getting rid of. If money doesn't start working out otherwise, maybe I'll start selling actual good stuff and/or stuff I care about.

yeah. off the record we're just starting to talk to Jeffrey about doing the T'girls on vinyl. He's down, I just need to deal with some other stuff first like finding a job and paying my taxes.

Funboy Five was never a definite project. I met the guy when he came to NY years ago and visited What's Yr Rupture Kevin at Rocks In Your Head. Nice guy and I love the material but we're a bit backed up, plus, like I said, I have other priorities. Somebody should do it. Good thing there's so many great labels doing reissues/issues of old stuff.
