well, come

Sorry for the lack of updates! Life has been kicking me in the face.

I picked this one up at an Ariel Pink show that Tickley Feather was supposed
to play at, but due to the venues insufficient notice and extreme willingness to be
a bunch of assholes she did not play.
I did however buy this 7" which is really great.
Hopefully T.F will come around soon



DOWNLOAD, DOWNLOAD, DOWNLOAD



P.S THANKS TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, EVEN IF YER HARTS ARE SILENT
&
BLESS YOUR SOUL, ALEX

DANNY AND THE NIGHTMARES

Sorry for lack of posts, it is hard to get motivated
when it feels like no one is out there - in space.
say something, Ginsy is in space too boys and girls.

I have realized there are many Daniel Johnston
tapes/cd's that are hard to find on blogs.
He is an artist who definitely needs support,
but not everyone can afford it, and I want some more stuff,
so please share if you have anything.
Hopefully I can upload some tapes pretty soon.

Without further adieu,

DANIEL JOHNSTON & THE NIGHTMARES!!!


Here is a 7" I found somewhere (Amoeba in LA or Mississippi Records in PDX)
side A screams for the love of jesus
side B makes the monsters stop what they're doing for three minutes so they can dance

FOLKRICO !!

I COULD HAVE SWORN I POSTED THIS LAST NIGHT!?


This is another record I found randomly somewhere, it turned out to be quite amazing.
If you can read/translate spanish and want to read the linear notes on the back clearer than in the photos I have provided, just holler and I will scan them HQ style. 
I don't know much about this, but it's one of the more 'rare' records which I started posting music on this blog for. Enjoy.
Oh, also I updated and reorganized links, check them out.! leave a comment if you feel left out!

on a platter

The Platters were an early soul/R&B recording act from Los Angeles.
Their songs are on the softer side, but there are quite a few gems on this album.
Each side has a similar formula, but if it works for you,
then here is an hour and a half of swayingly good soul jams.
Not as good as Aretha posted earlier, but if you need some more soft jams to feel
a wide array of emotions, get this quick!




this was like 104 megabites so i had to do two, surry.

PART TWO

HEY NOW HEY (THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SKY)

Hello folks, sorry for the delay.


The other day I was looking through a thrift pile of records when I found this record.
It is really spacey, soulful, and very, very grooving.
This is probably the first Aretha Franklin record I have listened to fully, yet I feel this may be her best work.
Leonard Bernstein composed the second track "Somewhere". There is a lot of experimental jazz sounds, thanks to
Quincy Jones. This record seemed to be ahead of its time
so much so, that I think this able will probably only be truly appreciated in at least 2012.
A psychedelic/soul gem.
enjoy

Also, this is probably some of my favorite artwork that I have ever seen on a record.

-portland mercury
"Favorite band: Dragging An Ox Through Water"
- New York Times "The Moment" M. Blash feature
"profoundly moving, circuit-bending noise-folk"
