Melvins - Houdini

I can't believe there aren't more Melvins fans among the SY fans.

kaitO - You've Seen Us... You Must Have Seen Us

Because, sometimes, you have to.

Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain


Range Life is one of my favorite songs.
'If I could settle down, then I would settle down'

Chris Cohen quit the band, their second the guitarist. They can play without him (i've seen videos of them opening for radiohead) but there is a little bit lacking in the guitar dept. Nonetheless, they will be awesome this sunday.

and now this

i do, but i'm not selling it.

Nightmares On Wax - DJ Kicks

The Fall's Bend Sinister

oh man. i thought you had 5 copies of the first VU album. im not a big dylan fan im afraid-- i know he's great etc etc-- it's just my own natural deviation against it.


yes, but i know where you live, so lock your windows...


oh hm im jealous. not in a bad way-- i just didn't have a chance to see them doing this tour. have fun! take pictures if you can and of course bootlegs are welcome :D

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

I do have 5 copies of the first VU album. But none of them are first-pressing copies. That would mean a copy with the peel-able banana from 1966. I have: a German-made Polydor pressing (kind of cheesy, no gatefold); a 1990 CD; and three recent gatefold reissues (one regular stereo copy, one banana-yellow vinyl copy, and one mono-mix copy).

I have only one copy of Blonde on Blonde, a M- vinyl copy pressed in the 1980s. Again, of course, hardly an original. And only in stereo, not the rare mono mix.

Monotract: Xprmntl Lvrs
Borbetomagus: s/t 1st LP
Borbetomagus: Barbed Wire Maggots
Don Deitrich/Jim Sauter: Bells Together
Borbetomagus: Borbeto jam
Dredd Foole & The Din: The Whys of Fire

My former employer has a fairly decent original of that first VU LP with an unpeeled banana; PM if you want the hookup.

Wow. You mean, to sell? Probably too rich for my blood, I'm sure.

It's 85 bucks, and it's VG+. He has a super-mint original of White Light/White Heat w/ "Skull" cover for 60, which I think is a better value, personally. Either one is a pretty good deal as far as collector prices go though, IMO.

Yeah, those aren't bad prices, really. I've probably spent enough on VU recently though.

White Light/White Heat

Love it.

Yeah, if I had 5 copies, I wouldn't be in much of a hurry to spend 85 bones on a 6th.

Heh, yeah... :o

And there are all those multiple reissues of White Light... and the 3rd LP to buy yet!

I think I am the only person I know who doesn't care for that third album much at all.

Really? I didn't at first, but it's definitely grown on me. I hate Loaded, though. Really hate it.

some mogwai

I love Mr.Beast

Red Kites - Nawadaha

Really nice cdr on U-sound. Seems to be by a brother and sister combo based in the UK and has a sort of VU feel to it in places

ha ha, i'm not surprised-- failure to communicate is the bread & butter of internet message boards. i got a single crappy cd, good enough though i might pick up one of the vinyl reissues (i got wl/wh in those 180g reissues)


former employer? you're no longer with the old record/poster store thing?

Squarepusher - Go Plastic

Nearing the end, My Fucking Sound playing right now. Good song.
Squarepusher's nice every once in a while.

just before:

bleeker bob in ny has the unpeeled banana cover vu&n for $500

ridiculous

because porky reminded me of it:

YaY!!!!

the song "seven" is a masterpiece all by itself

if you took the time to come all the way here and come through my window i would just give it to you. A for effort.

Peel Slowly and See Disc 5

The rita - Shin O.C.D

i stole that box set from the library. isn't disc 5 the one with all the stuff from Loaded on it? that would have to be my least favorite.
