    New Race "The First and The Last"

    There is a passage in Vivien Johnson's book on Radio Birdman where Ron and Dennis Thompson are returning from these shows, just gassed on the possibilties inherent in their new supergroup, little understanding at that point that the Birdman guys were already moving on to new careers. I think Ron took it pretty hard, but I know he and Deniz remained friends. Ron had tried to get Deniz to stay in Ann Arbor in like 1977 when he was visiting family on a break from school in Australia, but Deniz just brushed it off as Birdman had just recorded their first LP and he couldn't imagine being in a different band.

    That New Race LP is top notch IMO. Closes the circle on the 70s Aussie/Motor City connection in a spectacular manner.

    Damn, I didn't know that. I can see that bumming him out hard though. It's been a while since I've read Please Kill Me, but I remember feeling sad for Ron in some parts.

    Is that book on Radio Birdman any good?

    I listen to most records start to end.


    so, if there's a token song on there you dont like, or arent in the mood to hear, you just deal with it? 'cause i sure dont

    when i got my first CD player, i made sure that it was programmable, just to avoid the bummer cuts

    Well, when you limit yourself by not spending more than $8 on an lp, you're gonna be left with alot of mediocre records that you need to skip dud tracks on.

    naw, ive done alright in that price range...the city i live in has been pretty good to me as far as used albums go, its just all about right place/right time. out of the five albums i mentioned earlier in this thread, i only paid more than $8 for one of them.

    I beg to differ...that Power of Zeus elpee ain't exactly a one-tracker, but it would make a kickass EP...thank God I didn't spend $50 to find out

    yea, i was being sarcastic. Kind of tough to pick up in the written form. Somebody tried to sell me that power of zeus reissue trying to claim it was the og. I hate when that happens.

    I'm a big Dungen fan..

    I like it, it's definitely more mellow than Dungen, more on the folk/psych tip, but I enjoy it. The singing is in english, if that matters. I do prefer Dungen over LoE though.

    Great listen I would be surprised if you didn't like it.

    ABN - It Is What It Is

    Aw, you got ahold of a copy. What do ya think?

    Like it a lot...generally don't like a whole CD of double-time so the second half is a nice progression. Rain and In My City are my favourite tracks, but Umm Umm, 3-16's and Still Gets No Love are up there, too. Actually everything from SOS and on I have no complaints about at all.

  • It's a jazz day so far its been

    Guido Manusardi - Free Jazz (twice) - the waltz valeriana is the track tho
    Masahika Satoh - As If
    Toshika Akiyoshi Quartet - Sumiue - Guy in japan told me this is monday michiru mum?
    Horace Silver - Sing For my father - never tires

    and steely dan - katy lied

  • PrimeCutsLtdPrimeCutsLtd jersey fresh 2,632 Posts

    dungen - 4 (damn these guys are no joke!)

    wu tang clan- enter the 36 chambers
    the upsetters- super ape

    I know a couple of these dudes. They do some good stuff, but I wasn't quite feeling the frail falsetto male vocals and the constant "80s pads with hall reverb" smeer on this one. Liv Lykke is great though.

    I like their first release better:



    I'm working on a paper from home these days, so I'm doing a lot of end-to-end listening.

    A few from today:

    Sun Ra "Angels And Demons At Play"
    Larry Young "Lawrence Of Newark"
    Mandingo "The Primeval Rhythm Of Life"
    Talking Heads "Fear Of Music"
    Gang Of Four "Solid Gold"
    The Time "What Time Is It?"
    Jorge Lopez Ruiz "Viejas Raices"
    Sam Dees "The Show Must Go On"
    Wood, Steel & Brass S/T
