Scientists 'Last Night' EP - hot stuff of course. Xmas present from Spiral Scratch, good job on the repro by Agitated too - did these sell for like $15 like the E-Eels 7"es they did?

Got mine at Amoeba the other day, priced at 10 bux.

And I'm pretty sure "research" for the folks who compile these tomes consists of much more than stockpiling records, listening to records and reading about records.  My guess is they go to great pains to track down band members, label heads, producers, engineers and other participants to present the most accurate information possible. 

Bring on BOOKS.

100% agree with this.  We can all be armchair philosophers and most everyone on this board is a record geek, but the work that goes into a book like this is beyond normal record-collecting banter.  If it were an online database/web site, I'd be glad to look at it but unlikely to pay anything for it.  In book form, I think $100 is a fair price.  I'd never even heard about it until today, and I'm broke as fuck right now, but I want to pick this up once I get my bills paid.  It'll be a sad state of affairs when print books like this disappear completely, and I'm afraid that it's where things are heading.

I d/l'ed that thing hillside was talking about. Sounds innaresting.

Me too. It probably got a bunch of downloads yesterday.  It is really good though. 

I'm listening to a two-record set of Gabor Szabo's Greatest Hits that I got for a buck on the street.  I'd never heard him.  Great jazz guitar with psych and spanish leanings.  Even has a tasteful cover of White Rabbit.

I don't think there are any easy answers to this.  Find a hobby that you enjoy and try meditation or something similar to relieve the stress.  Longest I've made it sober so far is one month.  But it was a memorable, fulfilling and productive month.  I'm going to do it again in February and take a month off drinking once a year.  Or so I say.

Seth, could you send me info on that house?  If there's a phone number or anything for it, I'd appreciate it.  Here my email ... eric.holmgren74 at gmail.  Thanks!

Thanks, I'll spend more time looking at Clist.  Most people I talked to in Austin said that CraigsList kind of sucks there for finding housing.  But I was looking for a three bedroom house to share with a couple of friends. Now it's getting close and we haven't found anything so I'm thinking I'd better start looking for just myself.  A sublet may be the best way to go.

My girlfriend lives up around North Loop, which I like, but I worry about driving home drunk.  I haven't had a car in 20 years and watched her get a DUI last month when I was visiting.  It put the fear in me.  Gonna cost her nearly $10 grand and a whole lot of hassle.

I'm gonna be living off of California unemployment and some savings until I find a job there so the cheaper place I can find, the better.

I'm moving to Austin and looking for a place to live there starting January 1st.  If anybody knows of a room opening up in a house or anything like that, please let me know.  I'm hoping to pay no more then $700/mo and would be really stoked to find a place in East Austin or South Austin.  Somewhere that I could just bike around from and not have to drive all the time.  But really, it's getting close so I'd consider almost anything.  Any leads would be super appreciated!

Music Shit / Re: Reggae Influenced Punk/Rock

« on: November 26, 2012, 02:43:15 AM »

There's a great part in 'The Punk Rock Movie' where some reggae producer is (the way I remember it...) really making the drummer from the ADVERTS jump through the hoops in the studio trying to nail some fill...the songs blows anyway.

I think it's ATV maybe? Either way, great scene! It's funny how they keep coming back to that scene as the guy slowly picks it up. When I first saw that movie it blew my young mind that all the bands were listening to reggae all the time.

Could be wrong but I think that was Subway Sect?

Yeah, that record sucks & so does Billy Idol - but that first Generation X album is perfect.

Two of the original members on the Generation X S/T left (before Kiss Me Deadly was recorded) to form EMPIRE, a long-time favorite:

Nice. I like the song and I'd never heard them before. Checking out other songs from that Expensive Sound album now. 

Otherwise I've been getting the Led out and reading the new Rolling Stone Led Zep Collectors Edition issue.  I've gone hot and cold with Zeppelin since I was 12 but I'm finally just giving in and admitting to myself that I love them.

Anyone remember where that Piranhas show in New York was?  Siberia? Rock Star Bar?

That sucks dude.  Someone else I know got mugged at Mission and 16th two weeks ago.  He was on his way home from bartending, got jumped and punched in the back of the head and they got $300 cash from him.  I've heard that there are a lot of 15 - 17 year old Latino kids who are really violent hanging around Mission between 16th and 19th lately.  Joe saw them jumping and robbing a little old Asian lady outside Beauty Bar in the middle of the day a couple of months ago.

I'm sure it has something to do with families getting squeezed out of the Mission, lots of rich people moving in, and people getting desperate.

Anybody here on the Jersey shore?  My family no longer lives there and I can't get in touch with friends there.  Just watching the Weather Channel and Ocean Ave in Point Pleasant has sand three-quarters up the parking meters.  Wild.

And now Zuckerberg lives in the Mission. Jeezus.  He's brown-bagging it in Dolores Park and hanging at the Phonebooth for fuck's sake.
