thanks... whatever... cool guy

Wouldn't it be cheaper to press 300, destroy 200, and then sell them for cheaper than $10?

Who pressed these?

Yes, it would have. But I did not have the foresight... these were pressed by Erika Records. I did a lot of this the wrong way...

officially out today!

ROBERT TURMAN & AARON DILLOWAY "BLIZZARD" 2XLP (FABREC037)

Recorded in the midst of an actual extreme winter weather event, Blizzard conjures the early synthesizer experiments of Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream combined with the gritty reel-to-reel tape manipulations long employed by both Aaron Dilloway (Hanson Records / ex-Wolf Eyes) and Robert Turman (founding member of the pioneering industrial outfit NON and a celebrated solo artist in his own right).

As the story goes, Blizzard was recorded in January 2009 during an Ohio snowstorm which hit on the very day that Dilloway was preparing for a move to Michigan. Alone, his wife and child already settling into the new place, and stranded in a cold and empty house, he was welcomed into Turman?s home. They decided to make the best of the occasion and hunkered down for a few days of late-night recording. Crawling synth drones and looped effects keep things bleak throughout. The wind gusts outside are strangely regular. Snow scratches at the windows more rhythmically than seems natural. Are those woodwinds or animal calls? Are the streetlights obscured by blown branches, or are they slowly strobing? Suddenly a normal house in a common Midwestern blizzard feels like a house stalked by a sentient storm, bearing down for a final freeze. Throw another log on the fire and make yourself comfortable for the last time.
Blizzard was originally released on CD by Hanson Records in 2009. This first-time vinyl edition is limited to 500 copies.
Edition of 500: 150 on transparent blue vinyl (website exclusive), 350 on black.
Mastered for vinyl by Timothy Stollenwerk

Sigh.... effin' Disney...

"Sources have told The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline that reshoots are indeed happening. According to THR, "execs screened the film and felt it was tonally off with what a 'classic' Star Wars movie should feel like." Apparently, this rough cut had "the feel of a war movie" and "[t]he goal of the reshoots will be to lighten the mood, bring some levity into the story and restore a sense of fun to the adventure." Deadline's intel was a little more vague, saying executives felt "the first cut was lacking the edge that Force Awakens had, and the story needs to jell." Deadline's sources also say the movie's still on target for a December 16 release."

Well, it's directed by the guy who did that Godzilla reboot (the newest one, not the other one...) and that movie was boring and overbearing as hell, so maybe its a good thing? There was a lot of talk at Fox during the Fantastic Four fiasco about doing reshoots, I bet they really regret the shit out of that now. Tried watching parts of that movie on HBO and I couldn't do it, man!

Here's a piece that talks about how Marvel actually bakes reshoots into their productions, and we (sadly) have to  take into account how much CGI is done in post, so some times they don't know they need to reshoot until they go to add in all the after effects and see they've got shit shots.

I honestly hope its a good movie because it can back off from all the FORCE IS IN YOU shit and just be an action/caper with some dope ass swordplay.

Yeah... that director's indie film before Godzilla , "Monsters" is great though. Hollywood kills art.

I bumped into James Chance coming out of OM once. Dude looked like negative million bucks. I whispered  to my wife about the incident once we were inside and she replied with "Who?". "The contort yourself" guy I said. "Oh... right".

I imagine a similar conversation would take place if you asked the average NYer what they think about OM closing.

I think I went to OM 2 or 3 times a year since I moved here in '08. I maybe went with more regularity when I still worked in SOHO and would always find something cool in the used bin that was way below "internet" value. I remember buying, out of curiosity, a NM copy of an Eric's Trip LP for $10-$15. Listening to it once, thinking it was extremely boring and then selling it for like $100 on the internet in the same week.
I recall finding lightly used Zoviet France CDs too, and being all excited.

I run a local label and approached three different staff members over the years to stock label releases and they never gave me the time of day. Zero interest. So much for "the local scene".

Thankfully we have the 3 Academy's, Record Grouch and Material World. Those are the only one's I care about and would really miss. A1 was cool last time I went (found the exact copy of a Klaus Schulze record I was looking for) but there so much dust in the air that I had to use my inhaler once I got back outside.

I still get a tingle from my first solo tape getting a shitty review in Terminal Boredom by Rich Kroneiss

Luciernaga "Life Passes Away Like Idle Chatter" cassette
Analog "field recordings" filled with samples and loops of guitars and keyboards and such, striving for the creation of eerie atmospheics, which they succeed at doing. Definitely useable for scoring more than a few black and white avant-garde student films. As I said, it is successful in that regard. But we review music here, folks. I don't have much else to say about this except that it's from Brooklyn (ugh), has track titles such as "Mushroom Clouds of Bliss" (ack), quotes Ocatavio Paz (yep) and utilizes a mysterious National Geographic/native image, the effect of which is nullified by the fact that The Factums already used it a couple of years ago (doink). Please keep your art out of my peanut butter. Thanks. 100 copies.(RK)
(Fabrica Records // fabricarecs-at-gmail.com)

Nevermind that I'm actually from the place where that native image is from and had not a single clue on who Factums were at the time. And... it is not the same image. Same tribe, different image.


Also, what the fuck is wrong with quoting Octavio Paz (which this pinche gringo mispelled anyways). Otherwise... totally fair review.

This new star wars spin-off thing (Rogue one) opening in December, from the trailer alone, looks so much more interesting than the regular series.

from a seller in Ireland, presumably a Muslimgauze fan.

Seller's Shipping Information
buyer pays shipping.
flat rates worldwide as follows:

?4 to ship a cd
?4 for a 7"
?8.50 for an lp

additional items sometimes will have reduced combined total shipping cost. Depends if you are buying some expensive lps or ?0.10p 12's.... message me before you order for combined orders please. I can no longer ship to Israel. Nothing personal to Israel citizens, just solidarity with Palestine.

All I can do with that is laugh.

I've never gotten a single order from someone in Israel. I did once buy a Victor Jara LP from a seller in Israel. Shipping was reasonable and it was well packages, USPS somehow managed to get the box wet though.

Anyways.... I'm pretty Pro-Palestinian (and a Muslimgauze fan) but I think no "hearts and minds" will be won over banning buyers or sellers from Israel on discogs.com, that's pretty absurd.

As Discogs has grown so has the influx of assholes who buy shit and then take 4-5 days to pay for things but don't communicate about it, or just don't pay at all. I know this would be resolved if I just set up an automatic payment option but I'm too damn lazy...
Also, it seems like a lot of them don't read the Shipping Information, which spells everything out as to how and much I do things. That's why it's there.

Yep, got some shitbird ordering a $10 Echo & Bunnymen LP on Saturday nigh, my shipping policy clearly states I can only mail records once a week (on Saturday mornings). By Tuesday he wanted to cancel the order because it hadn't shipped yet. Done and banned.

Just Prince "The Hits/The B-Sides" 3xCD all day yesterday and today. Really helps cheer one the fuck up.
Also, those Sand reissues which led me to wanting to re-visit Current 93's "Thunder Perfect Mind" and Nurse With Wound.
