The Haul
Made yet another trek down to Amoeba Records on Sunday, and spent far too much time and money there, as usual. But I got a fat stack of CDs that I’m really happy with so far. The haul is as follows:
- Hrvatski: Irrevocably Overdriven Break Freakout Megamix
- Boards of Canada: A Beautiful Place Out In the Country (which I had on vinyl already, but picking up the CD for $4 seemed like a good deal)
- Boards of Canda: Peel Sessions
- Squarepusher: Maximum Priest EP
- Pole: 1
- Sonic Youth: SYR 2
- Christopher Willits: Pollen
- Channels: Open EP
- A Minor Forest: So, Were They in Some Sort of Fight? 2xCD
- Cex: Know Doubt
- Hood: You Show No Emotion At All Enhanced CD single
- Various Artists: All Tomorrow’s Parties 1.0
- Two Gallants: The Throes
- Stereolab: Transient Random Noise Bursts With Announcements
…hmm. I feel like I’m forgetting something.
(UPDATE: Yes! I forgot Jaga Jazzist: the Stix!)
Anyways, I also picked up a US Postal Service Letter Carrier jacket at Aardvarks’ on Haight when I was down there, so score! So stylish, with my reflective striping going on…
In other news, Fiona Apple’s new album, Yankee Hotel F… er, I mean Extraordinary Machines, (you know, the one that Sony won’t release because they don’t hear a single) hit the internet a while back, and I finally got a decent copy of it last night. Not bad, and definitely very pop, so I don’t know what Sony is thinking. Jon Brion’s production is nice, as usual. Nothing extraordinary, but very crisp and accomplished. I’ve never been a huge Fiona Apple fan, but after the teapot tempest surrounding this record, it was worth a listen.
Working on remix kits for a few people. Should be sending those out this week.
More later….
