I went to The Record Collector in Ferndale today. Here is what I bought with blurb about each:
- Dirty Three - Horse Stories “Songs for riding your horse through a desert while going through a messy divorce.”
- New York Dolls - Too Much Too Soon “Apparently it was too much too soon cause a bunch of these guys died and the lead singer became Buster Poindexter (look it up).”
- Brainiac - Internationale EP “90’s punk/new wave. Produced by Kim Deal. Singer died in a car crash, guitarist went to be in some awful band that I can’t recall the name of.”
- Bedhead/Macha - Macha Loved Bedhead “Bedhead was an awesome band no one ever heard of so this other band no one has ever heard of got together with them and did a mini-album thing.”
- Julian Cope - Peggy Suicide “Four suites of songs about some bitch named Peggy.”
- Tortoise - Standards “Tortoise is like the Sea and Cake without vocals”
- The Sea and Cake - Nassau “The Sea and Cake is like Tortoise but with vocals.”
- Eno/Cale - Wrong Way Up “Two of the most influential musicians ever teamed up to make art-pop and both agree on this piece of shit album art http://allmusic.com/album/wrong-way-up-r6817”
- Primal Scream - Evil Heat “Bonus points for the song ‘Skull X’”
- Unwound - Challenge for a Civilized Society “Has a song named ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’. I think their being ironic.”
- And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - The Secret of Elena’s Tomb EP “Before the lead singer got really into prog rock and drawing, this band was good.”
