right before that i loaded up on vinyl at a store that was closing and picked up some quincy jones, billy cobham, deodato, bootsy and the sweet sweetback's baaadasssss song soundtrack........

Last week on discogs, for a reasonable price, I picked up a copy of Harry Pussy - Live at Salon Swerge. Now all I need to do is sort out my record player.

I wonder whether Christgau has ever heard "Robert Ranks Reed (Alphabetically)" from HP's Superstar...

OMFG, this is 6 posts and 2 years ago.

My nephew is 19, has been through some tough family stuff, struggled as many of us have. Loves the grunge. I got him into guitar, bought him a Danelectro DC59 and a Fender Mustang amp. Took him to see his first show at maybe 13 or 14yo: Dick Dale at the Whiskey A GoGo. He is getting into buying records, so we took him to Amoeba on his most recent visit. He bought In Utero and some Mayhem comp. I decided this selection was weighted too heavily in depression/despair and a history of murder/suicide, so to balance them out I gave him extra copies of these we already had:

Sandy Bull: Fantasias
Sandy Bull: E Pluribus Unum
Pharoah Sanders: Karma
John Coltrane: Art Of John Coltrane (Atlantic era comp)
Ravi Shankar: Three Ragas
Beatles: Abbey Road
(Maybe a few other I can’t remember)

Those Sandy Bull records are amazing, and a great intro to that type of guitar playing. He wasn’t as skilled as people like Basho et al but he was very early out of the gate with fusing eastern sounds with western folk and using instruments like the oud. Also, successfully pulling off a solo banjo version of the Carmina Burana is no mean feat. Deep respect.
