  • Marcos Valle "Vento Sul". So necessary...
  • Who on the right(besides me apparently)....is for the legalization of ALL drugs, are Pro-Choice, and works 40 hours a week to improve our Environment??? Or are you stereotyping me based on selective issues? Yes you are. The Economist editorial b…
  • Mark Steyn = the poor man's Samuel Huntington. What does this have to do with records?
  • There's a facility here in Seattle where they provide alcohol along with treatment. It was quite controversial, though. i think it's called linda's. I dunno, when I hear 'booze zombies' the Cha Cha comes to mind...
  • There's no way they're doing that in the US!! I think they'd sooner exterminate them... Alcoholism isn't really treated seriously like a disease here yet... more like a personal problem... There's a facility here in Seattle where they provide al…
  • Jerzy Milian - Orkiestra Rozrywkowa (Heard about this through an Ish feature. Had a sound link but that's old and dead. Is the rest of the LP good and is it worth the $150 it averages on eBay?)
  • I have the Alesis Monitor 2's. With a good amp they go LOUD. I wish I had gotten something smaller, actually. They sound best midway up, and that's too much volume for a bedroom-sized studio. Some friends of mine had a studio in a converted gara…
  • You know, JLR, I don't think there was a single BA question before you arrived... I don't think that's true... but for some reason it's recently gone from a twice-yearly topic to a weekly topic. I posted a list of stores on the old board after …
  • I'm saying man, not much things more nerdy than seeing a dood controlling mad filters with a theremin controller! say word to nerd. Hey Silvertone - hit me on the PM, I'm selling off a bunch of Doepfer mods including the theremin controller. I…
  • Naw dude, the original MS-20 is an analog semi-modular from the 1970s. No 'engine' there, just diodes. But if the Microkorg filters are modelled off it, you might want something with a different sound. In that case you might want to look at som…
  • Kind of depends on your taste - there are lots of different analog filter designs. Moog 24 dB transistor ladder, the SSM integrated circuit, EMS diode filter, MS-20 filter, WASP filter. I'm a big fan of the raw-sounding MS-20 style. There are sev…
  • Actually, looking at the tracklisting, I bet this is really good on the more traditional MPB tip.
  • I haven't heard this LP, but Verocai was an arranger for hire - he did a ton of LPs, some of them pretty . So it's definitely worth checking out, but I wouldn't automatically assume it's
  • We need a graemlin that says "SOFT" But I'm not sure what the picture would be. Naw, we need a Mr. Softee head saying 'PROPPPSS!'
  • Did anyone else in Seattle see this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7367531182&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
  • Wow, for some reason I'm having a hard time with this one... Baden Powell & Vinicius - Os Afro-Sambas Jerzy Milian - Orkiestra Rozrywkowa PRiTV Uniao Black - S/T Djalma Correa & Baiafro - MPBC Both 1969 Gal Costa LPs Honorable mention goes…
  • the mystery of alhambra was revealed to me by a lapsed strutter mere minutes ago, but I was sworn to secrecy. I always figured it was this guy: Seller: t*******n (A S*****n - alhambra, CA United States)

  • Yeah, pretty much the usual suspects. But Tropicalia was an oddly self-limiting movement. For some reason all the artists outside that core group are counted as MPB or Brazilian psych. Consider how close Marcos Valle was in tone, attitude, and pr…
  • I was reading about the string section, I didn't realize it was so massive. Also, the vocals are fucking perfect. Just the right amount of fuzz. Has anyone even seen an og of this? I'm not usually into the hunting down the og game, but I would b…
  • Haha, I used to be the owner of http://www.brea.kz ... But I wasn't doing anything with it and the Kazakhs raised their domain registration charge. Somebody grab it if you want it.
  • Dublin is dry. I did the rounds when I was there a couple years ago and found zilch. After four stores I bought one A Certain Ratio album. I was there two weeks ago and peeked at the George St. arcade because I was walking through. Again, nothin…
  • Maga Bo is a good dude, I've emailed with him a few times about Brazilian records. I'm headed down there in a couple months...
  • I also haven't recieved: Richard Dimples Fields from edpowers The Wild Tchoupitoulas from Joe Mojo lemme know what the ETA is.... I'm in Dublin working, I'll be back in town on Friday and send it out on the weekend. Sorry about the delay!
  • blurry gloss of romanticism Isn't part of the point of this forum to romanticize the otherwise mundane act of going shopping?
  • yes. they're expensive and take forever to clear. I guess bank transfers are a lot cheaper and more common down there. I know that a lot of people pay their bills, magazine subscriptions, etc. with bank transfers because the postal system can…
  • well, unlike sending cash, a international money order is certified and traceable... at least as far as being able to verify that it has been deposited. Yeah, I've done postal IMOs to Japan and France with no problem. Unfortunately, Brazil is on…
  • If somebody else throws down, I'll link up the spot that updates "on the 26th of every month" http://www.erols.com/f2023 Stuff still pops up there, I got an El Chicles and a Lafayette Afro Rock Band 45 from him last year....
  • He's a great piano player as part of the Milton Banana group, but his solo albums are I pull out his version of "Batucada" if I'm playing a balan??o set though...
