No, that came from a shop on Bleecker. The one that's sort of like Generation. they had some Subway and Sarah things for reasonable prices.

I agree that that the performance of "Place In Your Heart" in that video is pretty awful.
I guess that since I was nowhere near that time or place it doesn't much matter to me if they sucked live or not.
I was going to ask Swampy why, of all the bands in the world to get truly offended by, he picks this unassuming little Irish pop outfit, but I think we've probably all had a similar experience. I get genuinely offended when I hear Triumph, though I don't know that they suck any more or less than any of their stadium-packing/Summer Jam contemporaries.

Music Shit / Re: Bottom Of The Barrel(or great dollar bin finds)
« on: June 10, 2009, 08:18:13 AM »
I'd been thinking about making my SF report, and rather than the "Recent Acquisitions" or Best Record Store" threads this seems the best place to do it.
The wife had a Java conference in San Francisco last week, so I spent a lot of time at the Amoeba and Rasputin's stores (both SF and Berkeley locations) and while I was extremely impressed with their new stock (it's amazing how many things are currently in print on vinyl), I was underwhelmed by their used vinyl, especially the 45 bins at Amoeba, which seem to be a repository for every forgettable indie 45 released in the 90s.
However the dollar bins at both stores were loaded with college rock favorites from the 80s. I know that a lot of records from this era are deserving of the lukewarm response or outright dismissal they receive, but there are plenty of them that are every bit as good as the big-label psych LPs discussed in Acid Archives and recently re-issued on a Scorpio pressing with dodgy mastering. And even the ones that fall prey to the most common stereotypes of the era (limp REM clones, boring bar rock) frequently have a couple of good tracks to recommend them. I found the following records at either Rasputin's or Amoeba for under $2:
Nick Haeffner-Back In Time For Tea 12"
Scruffy the Cat-Boom Boom Boom Bingo EP
Barbara Manning-One Perfect Green Blanket
Bonnie Hayes-Good Clean Fun
Lightning Seeds-s/t
Screaming Blue Messiahs-Twin Cadillac Valentine
Myra Holder-Four Mile Road
Pianosaurus-Groovy Neighborhood
Bongos-Drums Along the Hudson
Long Ryders-Native Sons
Mental as Anything-Creatures of Leisure
Plasticland-Wonder Wonderful Wonderland
Flying Color-s/t
Primitons-EP
Tall Dwarfs-Hello Cruel World (OK, this is an outlier)
Mod Lang-Where Your Heart EP
Things-Outside My Window
Spongetones-Torn Apart EP
Great albums? For the most part, no, although I might make an argument for the Primitons and Pianosaurus. But all of them are quite enjoyable. These kinds of records appear to have no hip cachet at the moment and are plentiful, so they're very cheap. But don't assume they all suck.
Most of these were doubles. I guess I have the choice of either farming them out to friends, or waiting for the college rock explosion that will increase their value exponentially. The former seems far more likely.
Also, there were multiple cheapo copies of Let's Active's Big Plans For Everybody in every store I went to. That record still makes me swoon.

I sold Scott's copy of this, and I'm having some serious remorse. Has anybody heard the Munster re-issue? How's the sound quality?
If anyone has an original copy for sale or trade, pm me.

Sorry. I was commenting on the Blue Tomorrow LP which is pure Southern jangle pop and nothing but. "Rat Bait" came 5-6 years before this record. And yeah, it's really good. Kinda like Beefheart. Can you still get it for under a fiver?

It is indeed jangly Southern college pop. I like some of it, enough to have kept it around all these years. I like 4-5 tracks off their first s/t A&M album too. My impression is that most of the board members here wouldn't care for it.
