Fridays swim meet started and ended with dominating relay victories.
And the Durango High School girls squad found plenty of other reasons to smile sandwiched in between.
The Demons posted four state-qualifying times in three events, won eight events and came out with a convincing victory in a five-team meet at the Fort Lewis College pool in their season-opening event.
Durango totaled 607 points, with Grand Junction in second with 535. Fruita Monument had 406, Montezuma-Cortez 322 and Delta 212.
Not only was it a strong start to the season, the performance gave new DHS head coach Kathryn Ross a win in her first event at the helm. And after battling a little panic trying to get everything in order beforehand, Ross settled in and got a fish-eye view of a pleasing performance.
I was blown away, Ross said. I knew that we had a strong team, and I was excited to see them swim, but they went above and beyond my expectations as far as how they were going to swim.
A bevy of top-five finishes propelled the Demons to the top, and the opening event set the tone. The 200-yard medley relay team of Brooke Kniffin, Hannah Chapman, Haley Cotgageorge and Annie Mummery stormed to a state-qualifying time of 1 minute, 58.97 seconds, while the DHS team of Haley Warren, Madison Hoven, Kaitlin Barela and Anna Chambers finished second in 2:11.01.
The same four that won the first race capped the evening with another victory in the 400 freestyle relay, winning in 4:08.17, a four-plus second gap over Grand Junction. DHS also took third and fourth in the nights other relay, the 200 freestyle.
We swam club together for awhile. And we were like, Wow, youre good at this stroke; youre good at this stroke, said Kniffin, daughter of Kelly and Rick Kniffin. And we just fit very well together.
While Chapman, Cotgageorge and Kniffin have been state qualifiers on multiple occasions, Mummerys performance may have come as a shock to those not in tune with the local club swimming scene. The freshman swam anchor on both relays and qualified for state in the 100 backstroke, winning the race in 1:03.29, edging out Kniffin, who also qualified for state in 1:04.22. She also won the 100 freestyle, just missing another state cut.
Its a lot different than club. The atmospheres a lot different here ... and youre not just swimming for yourself, youre swimming for your team, said Mummery, daughter of John and Mary Mummery.
And having such a sleek swimmer in the water and mature mind on the deck isnt something Ross is complaining about.
When I first met her the first day, I just assumed she was a senior because she ... has a maturity about her, just seems older, Ross said.
Not that the experienced swimmers lagged behind. On the contrary they swam as advertised. Cotgageorge won the 200 individual medley and finished second in the 100 fly, while Kniffin added a state-qualifying time and a win in 26.09 seconds in the 50 free.
Chapman, meanwhile, got her work in and then some. All told, she swam in four events and logged 750 yards total. She also won each event, which included the two victorious relays. Chapman narrowly missed qualifying for state as Durango swept the top three spots in the 500 free: Chapman won in 5:47.38, with Elli Earl and Alle McKown next to finish. The senior also won the 100 breastsroke in 1:16.29.
Shes a very strong swimmer, and Im just very happy to have her on this team, as well, Ross said.
The performance of the divers brought a smile to diving coach Mark Flemings face. While Grand Junctions Grayson Young and Sofie Black swept the top two spots, Demons Katie Cunnion, Sarah Lawton and Bonne Matheson were the next three in line, with Caroline Tidwell in 10th.
Fleming said it was Lawtons first high school diving competition and the second for Cunnion as DHS looks to pick up valuable experience on the board.
Grand Junctions Taylor Kidd qualified for state by winning the 200 free in 2:05.09, a race in which Durangos Earl was second and Katie Pannell fourth.
Durango will return to the pool at 9 a.m. today in a meet at Montezuma-Cortez.

Exxon Earnings: Profit Falls 57% on Lower Revenue, Year-Earlier Gains
Exxon Mobil Corp. said its second-quarter profit fell 57% from the year-earlier period, when asset sales and tax breaks helped drive earnings to a record high.
The oil-and-gas producer on Thursday reported profit of $6.9 billion, or $1.55 a share, compared with $15.9 billion, or $3.41 a share, a year ago. Analysts had been expecting a per-share profit of $1.90. Revenue decreased 16% to $106.5 billion.

I decided to start my own thread for this topic.
I would like to replace my current, stock windshield with something a little taller, maybe a little wider, on my R1100RS. I've always been a fan of Parabellum; Charlie has been a good guy to work with on both my R100RS and R100S, but now I'm thinking either Aeroflow or Cee Baileys.
What's the opinion of the masses here? Is this tantamount to an oil thread? Is it simply 6 of one, half dozen of another?
Right now, I'm leaning toward the Cee Bailey's, there are more options that I can choose for height and color, although I really like the look of the Aeroflow.
However, the bottom line is I've always been a form follows function kind of guy. If it works good, then I'm less concerned with how it looks. But if it doesn't work, then it really doesn't matter what it looks like because...it just plain doesn't work.
What say you all? Aeroflow or Cee Bailey's? Prices are close enough not to sweat.

The Amazing Christmas Island Red Crab
Every year an amazing event happens on this small island, owned by Australia, which is 220 miles away from the nearest land mass. Christmas Island's geographic isolation and history of limited human disturbance has brought about a high level of species not found elsewhere in the world. Among these species is the Christmas Island Red Crab. Millions of these crabs simultaneously embark on a five kilometer journey to their ocean breeding grounds. Scientists from the University of Bristol and Bangor University believe they have unlocked the mystery to this incredible feat.
The project was led by Professor Steve Morris of the University of Bristol and Professor Simon Webster of Bangor University. They conclude that it is hormones that make the journey possible for the Christmas Island Red Crab. Specifically, it is the Crustacean Hyperglycaemic Hormone that enables them to efficiently use the stored energy in their muscles.
This added energy is essential for this small terrestrial crab to travel five kilometers over land from their home on the high rainforest plateau to their spawning grounds in the ocean. The island is not heavily populated, so there is not much danger from humans, however, the path does cross over several roadways. The estimated 120 million crabs literally blanket the landscape as they travel. They are prompted to commence their journey with the arrival of the monsoon season in November or December.
What is amazing is that during their non-migrating period, the crabs are relatively inactive, staying in their burrows on the forest floor. They only emerge for a short period in the early morning to feed. To go from such a hypoactive state to an incredibly hyperactive state requires some internal tinkering to get the metabolism moving.
Surprisingly, the hyperglycaemic hormone levels were lower during the migrating season than during the inactive dry season. To figure out the puzzle, the scientists gave the crabs glucose (sugars). According to Professor Webster, during the migrating season, the glucose prevented the release of the exercise-dependent hormone. This put the crabs in a negative feedback loop.
Therefore, during migration, the glucose stored in the crabs' glycogen stores is sufficient to fuel the long journey. This also allows the ability to release the hyperglycaemic hormone which unlocks that stored energy. Then, during the inactive dry season, the hormone shuts down, and the glycogen stores are built up again. Isn't evolution amazing?

KEXP Reviews
|Browse by one of the following:
- (Polyvinyl)
The 9th album from Kevin Barnes & co. is one of his boldest, most adventurous works to date, featuring rapidly shifting, multi-part songs that frankly explore sexuality from a variety of perspectives while continuing the musical evolution of his recent recordings by combining quirky psych-pop with catchy pop-funk. Considering the album's sound and subject matter, it's not surprising that Prince looms large here as a big musical, lyrical and even vocal influence. 10/7/2008 - Don Yates

The chicest evening-wear option now? The shorts suit; in a sea of frothy dresses, Eva Herzigova dared to rock the look in Cannes.
BY Phong Luu | 19 May 2011
Photo: GETTY
Some poor fillies faced the dreaded Human Meat Barrier as they were turned away by bouncers at a party in Cannes this week. Their folly? Attempting to penetrate the Palais in humble slacks, which, in the festival of flesh-aplenty, is worse than rocking up with leprosy. No wonder Cheryl Cole binned the purple trousers and got her baps out; that plunging white dress was probably a tactical move to appease the meanies on the door and save her from a(nother) nightclub spar trying to get in.
The door Gestapo's subtext is that covered-up isn't sexy enough for an event that's all about the sexy. Frankly, though, I say screw that view of sexy and bring on the subdued - slacks, blazers, shirts et al . Much more refreshing, plus, any any chance to rebel against the status quo, I take with relish and a side of up yours.
Through the fug of froth and sequins, I spied the sharp tonic that was Eva Herzigova. Ditching the saccharine, she picked a sleek black tuxedo by Dolce & Gabbana, although she substituted the trousers for shorts.
All the latest from the red carpet in Cannes
Fancy shorts for evening have been hovering on the periphery for a couple of seasons, but the appeal now - and the thrill of Herzigova's - is its slick way with a matching jacket. Hence forth, it shall now be known as the "shorts suit", evening attire of choice for the more creative vets of the crimson walkway: Alexa Chung, Chloë Sevigny and Kate Bosworth.
Skin-concealing without being fusty (it shows leg, but is balanced by a respectable top half) and edgy without being silly, the shorts suit triumphs because it's sexy without pandering to that boring ass-and-boobs cliché.
Some might bracket it under fashion which men don't get, but, honestly, I don't give two hoots if the men in question are as sexist as those goons in Cannes; if it's got the "Hello Boys" Herzigova seal of approval, it's swell enough for me.

Mutual fund rankings misleading to investors, economists find
STANFORD -- Widely published rankings of mutual fund performance could mislead many investors because they don't include the effect of income taxes on the funds' performance, two Stanford University economists find in a new analysis of mutual fund performance over the past 30 years.
Investors in the highest tax brackets are especially likely to find that some of the top ranked funds aren't really the best funds for them once taxes are taken into account, say John Shoven, the Charles R. Schwab Professor of Economics, and Joel Dickson, a graduate student in the Economics Department.
"The results are dramatic. The pre- and post-tax rankings differ markedly," they say of the rankings they made of 148 growth and growth- and-income funds.
Mutual funds publish long-term performance statistics that are used as the basis for rankings reported in the financial press, but these statistics ignore investor-level taxes.
Such statistics are appropriate for people who invest in equity mutual funds via tax-deferred group pension plans or individual retirement accounts, they said. They are not for those investing outside the tax sheltered pension system.
"More than half the money in equity mutual funds is outside the tax- sheltered pension fund system, and yet, almost none of the available information regarding mutual fund performance considers shareholder level taxation," Shoven and Dickson wrote in a paper published by the Stanford Center for Economic Policy Research. The work was initiated and supported by Charles Schwab & Co.
"Our basic conclusion is that most mutual fund investors need more information about tax effects in order to make informed decisions," they said.
One reason for the difference in pre- and post-tax performance relates to how quickly fund managers turn over their portfolios.
"Many of our funds churn their portfolios significantly over a single year (100 percent is not uncommon), possibly realizing capital gains as they accrue, and thus, subjecting their shareholders to tax liabilities," the economists said.
The fund in the study with the lowest average turnover - Franklin Growth - "jumped from the 40.5 pre-tax percentile ranking to the 74.3 percentile for a high-tax investor over the 1983-1992 period," they said. Franklin Growth had a 3.2 percent average, annual portfolio-turnover rate during that 10-year period.
High turnover, however, doesn't automatically mean that investors will hand over a large chunk of their profit to the government in taxes. Fidelity Value, with a 296 percent turnover rate, also improved its post- tax performance, jumping 35.8 percentile points in the rankings over the 1983-1992 period.
"Funds with high turnover rates may still be good investments for the tax-conscience investor," Shoven and Dickson said, which is why they recommend listing post-tax results for investors in three tax rate categories.
The researchers calculated the post-tax returns for three individuals, one with the median adjusted gross income for each year between 1963 and 1992, one with adjusted gross three times the median and one with income 10 times the median.
Mutual fund liquidation values may also need to be reported to help investors make prudent short-term investment decisions, the economists said. The liquidation value of a mutual fund share is the amount of money an investor would receive if he or she were to liquidate it at the end of a specific holding period, such as 10 years, a relatively short investment horizon.
"This value best describes the opportunities for those investors divesting assets at the end of the period for a specified purpose," such as for tuition payments, a down payment on a house or buying a yacht, Shoven and Dickson said. They found that "neither pre-tax or post-tax rankings provides an accurate assessment of comparative performance" for investments liquidated in 10 years.
The researchers said they are still working on analyses that would weave a consideration of mutual fund risk into comparative information.
"While we feel that more work is necessary to satisfactorily account for risk [in performance rankings], this consideration does not dampen our main conclusion that after-tax performance rankings are very different from pre-tax performance rankings," they said.
Their report "Ranking Mutual Funds on an After-Tax Basis," includes appendices that list the pre- and post-tax performance over 10- and 30- year periods for high, medium and low tax investors in the funds studied. Copies may be obtained from the Center for Economic Policy Research, 100 Encina Commons, Stanford University, Stanford, Ca. 94305 [telephone (415) 725-1874].

When it's time to work on a PC or watch movies, a larger screen allows you to be more productive and makes movies more enjoyable. Dell makes a number of branded PC displays that support HD resolutions and the computer maker has announced a new large display that integrates energy saving features.
The display is called the Dell G2410 and has a 24-inch screen. Typically, a 24-inch PC monitor has a resolution of 1920 x 1200, but the new Dell unit has a 1920 x 1080 resolution. That means that gamers can't get the highest resolution available in the size class, but movie fans can get full 1080p content.
Dell lists the response time of the panel at 5ms, which should provide for good gaming and movie watching performance. Integrated power saving features include Power Nap and Dynamic Dimming. It's easy enough to guess what these features do, which is all we can do since Dell didn't specify what exactly the features do.
Connectivity options include DVI-D and VGA, but HDMI is missing. On a display aimed at multimedia use the lack of HDMI may be an issue for some users. The screen has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a brightness of 250cd/m2. The monitor is capable of displaying 16.7 million colors and has viewing angles of 160 degrees vertical and 170 degrees horizontal.
Perhaps a reason Dell opted to include only basic connectivity options was to get the price to a more reasonable level. The G2410 retails for $349 and is available now.

We had a referendum (in 1974) to decide whether or not to stay in what was then called the EEC, and we voted, by a significant majority, to stay in.
I suppose it's only fair that we should again be offered the opportunity to vote on whether we should now come out.
Personally I think it's madness to contemplate withdrawing.

I spotted this on a website. (http://news.uk.msn.com/trending-blog/mystery-as-malaysian-angler-catches-bizarre-unknown-fish)
The fish was caught in Malaysian waters near the coastal village of Tudan Sarawak. It reminds me of a Gurnard but a more positive ID would be appreciated.
After further research, I think it might be a Skeleton Fish. Peristediidae. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
My first thought was of something like a rabbitfish, or chimera, which (although it is a cartilagenous fish) is a similar shape and has the same large eyes, but I think Habdab is right.

Yeah I still haven't gotten the Disco Zombies and Happy Refugees cuz $14USD for FLAC is a bit steep. Don't see what's so difficult about selling directly for a more reasonable price, or doing Bandcamp.

Yeah, that's the same as me. I have all the Acute releases up to those two. Dan mentioned Bandcamp before either of the two got released, but I don't know what happened. Acute is a label I like to support, but there's only so many $$$ and, well, you know how it goes!
― crustaceanrebel, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 00:42 (six years ago) Permalink
I still want to know how VOD nailed the John Bender set. I emailed him but never got a response. Also didn't offer a multiple volume box set though.
I'll look into getting the Acute releases out there losslessly and cheaper. It hasn't really been on our radar. I think I had only mentioned bandcamp before I realized Boomkat offered lossless files, so I figured we were set with that. Hadn't really thought about how much it costs and haven't heard any complaints till now.
As far as packaging is concerned. The iTunes download comes with a complete PDF of the booklet (16 pages for Happy Refugees, 12 for Disco Zombies). The PDF also comes with the download card as a bonus. It's frustrating if other retailers don't include bonus files like this. However, somebody from Germany emailed me last week who likes to buy from Amazon, I told him to send me a screenshot of the receipt and I sent him the PDF. Not suggesting that makes it worth as much as nice physical packaging, but if you do end up buying from Boomkat or Amazon and need the liner notes, let me know. Any idea if Bandcamp's downloads can include something like a PDF?
I was frustrated that ILX was down when Happy Refugees came out and I wasn't able to promote it properly here! It's actually sold really really well and gotten some nice buzz, but the press response has been relatively quiet. Disco Zombies was a bit better but not much. I don't know if it's because we sent out fewer promos or mostly relied on digital promos, or they got lost in year end shuffles...or people don't rate them as important enough. Anyway, it's not too late!
Meanwhile Happy Refugees even came to NY a few weeks ago for a little adventure, playing with the likes of Crystal Stilts and Regal Degal, appearing on WFMU, etc. More info here:
Trypes may still take a while, I'm trying to do something unique with the artwork and it's a bit of a hassle. It's really gonna blow people away though. First the reissue of the already released stuff...people who haven't heard that stuff are in for a treat. Then there's an entire side of the earlier stuff that's really cool and raw, then as a bonus with the download a whole other set of unreleased/unrecorded later songs recorded at rehearsal sessions at maxwells. Like you can hear the radio on in the background before they go into these epic lo-fi psychedelic numbers with Toni and Brenda singing harmony. Really great.

"Bonus Download Items: Upload PDF liner note booklets, videos, alternate art... pretty much whatever goodies you like, and we'll include them in the downloaded album's zip file."

The problems with Boomkat is they raise the price from £6.99 for MP3 to £8.99 for FLAC, which seems senseless to me. That may be a reasonable price in the U.K., but with exchange rates the way they are, $14 USD is a bit prohibitive for many people who are used to getting a CD for that kind of price range.
Dan it would be fantastic if you did Bandcamp or some cheaper alternative. I will definitely buy all the latest releases as soon as you do! Also, while I don't care so much whether I get new releases in CD or flac, I prefer to buy CDs of special reissues for the liner notes, and to have something to keep and collect on my shelf. What was the thinking behind not doing CDs at all?
Look forward to the Trypes!

It's a few things...sales of CDs dropping, combined with looking at the future. I actually spent a few years trying to move to just doing digital releases. I believe(d) that to be the wave of the future, but nobody was interested. While there are certainly people still buying CDs, I felt like taking a sort of stand and being able to focus on putting together a good virtual package, and for the people who want physical product, so many of them are turning to vinyl, especially for the kind of stuff we're releasing, that it seemed to make sense to go that route. We'd love to be able to make stuff as accessible as possible, but at the same time the demand for lossless files, seems really small while the demand for CDs is really falling off. For what it's worth we did pretty well with our last CD, better than the 4 or so before it, but not enough to inspire much confidence.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 17:05 (six years ago) Permalink
Not sure what the sales numbers are, but I'd think lossless is growing in popularity, especially when it's offered at non-jacked up prices.

For what it's worth we did pretty well with our last CD, better than the 4 or so before it, but not enough to inspire much confidence.
The demand for lossless files is small largely due to the continued existence of CDs. Should CDs disappear (or become rare enough that one can't rely on them happening), the demand for lossless files will really explode. (I should note that I've had access to research studies about this.) Some companies, like Rhino, have released stuff in lossless formats for which there is a demand, but (currently) no CD. Tim Buckley's "Starsailor" is a great example. The CD has been out of print and goes for big bucks. An MP3 version of the album is available most places (Amazon, iTunes, etc) - but Rhino.com made available a lossless version for $10.49 (still 50% more than the MP3 version) and it's done quite well. That's occurring more and more.
I understand issuing new stuff on vinyl and MP3 these days, but I think you're losing sales by not having at least *some* form of digital lossless format available. I'd prefer CD myself, but I know sales / distribution are tough and getting tougher. Lossless is going to happen sooner than you think. I hope it happens with the Trypes!

As mentioned, our releases are available lossless from Boomkat. It's just the price that's an issue.

I take it back. Ixnay on the andcampBay. Issues with exclusive licensing and this and and that.
I think our releases, as FLAC on Boomkat, come out to 14 dollars, which isn't that bad. If you purchase it, send me a screenshot and I'll forward you the liner note PDF.

On Jan 31, Sundazed came out with a mono version of Blue Cheer's Vincebus Eruptum sourced from the original Philips Records reels. Has anyone heard it?
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 13:24 (five years ago) Permalink
I bought it. Some slight differences - a few more vocal bits that were cut out on the stereo version, I think, especially in "Rock Me Baby." Overall it's a little more "cramped" sounding and you don't get that super stereo FREAKOUT sound on some of the guitar solos, but it's definitely worth hearing if you're a die hard fan of the album.

I really love this Wendy Rene re-issue on Light in the Attic, but there's something going on with the vocals on several of the tracks, where they sound super in-the-red or compressed (or something that someone with knowledge of this kind of thing might be able to identify). I suppose it's native to the recordings, though I feel like some of the YouTube clips of these songs from other sources don't have it as much. Has anyone else heard this record?

feedtime - The Aberrant Years. Can't believe I almost forgot about this, as I've been looking for these albums for over 20 years. Aussie avant postpunk minimalists who were consistent as The Ramones or Motorhead, but also uniquely out of step with most bands in 1985-89 aside from maybe the Melvins. I picked it up at Reckless last weekend, four CDs for $17.99. Now THAT'S a real damn good value. http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/6994

Anyone heard this? A good time or needless crate-scraping?
A decade in the making, Soul Cal is the definitive survey of America's best, independent, 70s soul-ensembles. Profiled within this album and book are the bands that transitioned from funk to disco; the bands that kept up the backbeat as rhythm moved to the backseat. Against the odds, they left recorded artifacts for we at Now-Again to dig out, dust off and restore. Collected here for the first time are the musical dreams of dozens, dreams that were deferred but were never discarded.

Dio - Holy Diver [2CD] 83Dio - The Last In Line [2CD] 84Dio - Sacred Heart [2CD] 85
Funny, the press release wrote this about Sacred Heart: This was to become a much-loved DIO album, and contained the tracks "Rock N' Roll Children" and "Hungry For Heaven". The stage show that was to accompany this album was hailed as a spectacle, involving a mechanized dragon as well as lasers. Ronnie and his band were to refer to the dragon as Denzil. This was the last studio album to be released by DIO that included guitarist Vivian Campbell.
Much loved! I always thought it was supposed to be a big, fat dud. But I'm always open for a few more good Dio choons.

Yep. So the original Bat Chain Puller did finally ship in Feb, courtesy the Zappa site? Only seen a couple reviews, a rave from David Fricke, a confusing description in Pitchfork (describing versions from Shiny Beast, or is that a typo) Interesting point though: if more conventional original version had come out, and if it had been more commercially sucessful, "it might have taken the edge off the man", and we wouldn't have gotten the incisive final three albums, as we know them. Anyway, anybody heard the 2012 legit BCP? Thoughts?

'Work Hard, Play Hard, Pray Hard : Hard Time, Good Time & End Time Music : 1923-1936' Available as a 3LP/3CD box set November 6th, 2012
Work, play, pray - the lifecycle of the rural America that created our greatest generation of country music, 1923 to 1936.

Work Hard, Play Hard, Pray Hard features 19 previously un-reissued sides and is largely drawn from the collection of the late Don Wahle of Louisville, Kentucky. A hillbilly 78 collector for many years, his records were hours away from the dump when producer Nathan Salsburg recovered them.

Streaming Soundcloud previews from the forthcoming Analog Africa compilation, Diablos Del Ritmo - The Colombian Melting Pot 1960 - 1985

Thousands of records were collected and boiled down to a colorfully diverse selection of 32 tracks (available on Double CD, 2 x Double LP and digital format), Split between Afrobeat, Afrofunk, Psychedelia-inspired rhythms on Part 1 and an array of danceable tropical rhythms on Part 2.
Diablos Del Ritmo release details:
There are a number of theories as to how, in the mid-20th century, African music made its way to Colombia's vibrant port city of Barranquilla, today's mecca of Caribbean tropical music. Some maintain that a man named "Boquebaba" remains responsible. Others claim that seafaring traders and merchants imported the first sizeable amount of African vinyl. An absolute certainty is that in March 2007 Analog Africa-founder Samy Ben Redjeb arrived in Barranquilla, by some still considered the "Golden Gate of Colombia". After half a decade in which seven expeditions were made to Barranquilla, Analog Africa is honored to present Diablos del Ritmo, an anthology of -- and tribute to -- the immense sound of 1970s Colombia. Thousands of records were collected, boiling down to a colorfully-diverse selection of 32 tracks split between Afrobeat, Afrofunk and psychedelia-inspired rhythms on Part 1 and an array of danceable tropical rhythms on Part 2. Colombian music in general, especially the music from the Caribbean coast, is heavily influenced by the drums, percussion and chanting of African rhythms. Music from big players of the day -- from Nigeria, The Congo, The Ivory Coast and Cuba -- entered Barranquilla constantly. Afrobeat, terapia and lumbalú clashed effortlessly with the tropical sounds of puya, porro, gaita, cumbiamba, mapelé and chandé to create a rich amalgam of irresistible dance music while traditional styles were refined by an elite cadre of accordion players that included Alejandro Duran, Alfredo Gutierrez, Calixto Ochoa, Anibal Velasquez and Andres Landero. The heights Afro-Colombian music had reached by the early '80s was nothing short of exceptional. But, none of it could have been possible without two vital engines. One was the Picó sound systems -- roaming street clubs dedicated to mobilizing and spreading the rawest music of Africa, the Caribbean and the rest of the transatlantic black world. The second were forwarding-thinking producers. Discos Tropical, Felito Records and Machuca, amongst several other key players, governed and diversified the psychedelic and coastal music scene of Colombia. Alongside an all-encompassing 60-page booklet including 40 vintage photographs, 24 interviews and documented first-hand knowledge, the deep cuts of Analog Africa's 12th compilation will instantly transport any listener to Colombia's thriving Caribbean coast to indulge in the succulent belly of tropical music's untold historic tales.

Ike & Tina: On The Road: 1971-72 comes to DVD on November 20 An intimate look at the dynamic Ike and Tina Turner at their creative peak... From the lens of legendary rock photographer BOB GRUEN By combining soul music with an explosive stage show, complete with the high energy dance choreography of Tina Turner and the Ikettes, and an ingredient sorely missed in today's soul - gritty rock n' roll - Ike & Tina Turner gained a reputation as one of the great live acts of all-time. In the early 70's, legendary rock photographer Bob Gruen and his wife Nadya toured with Ike & Tina, filming them performing, on the road, and behind the scenes. Now for the first time ever this footage is available to the public... This is a look inside a hardworking band as well as an iconic couple With portable video recorders not as prominent during that era as they are nowadays, no one has seen scenes like this. But with the release of Ike & Tina: On The Road: 1971-72, fans are finally treated to a must-see behind-the-scenes view of the band, at the peak of their powers. Similar to an earlier DVD set, The New York Dolls: All Dolled Up, the Gruens toured with Ike & Tina and documented everything in black and white (and some color as well). Now, 40 years later, fans get to experience what it was like to be with one of the most popular touring/recording bands of this time period. In addition to simply awesome renditions of several Ike & Tina classics, we also get a glimpse of the group at work in the recording studio, Tina and the Ikettes practicing their dance routines (and primping their wigs!), and goofing around on airplanes and in airports. We even get to see inside Ike & Tina's house and the couple's funky retro '70s home décor, as Tina cooks dinner for her kids. A lot has been written about Ike and Tina's relationship over the years (mostly in the negative light). But for many years, they were able to coexist together in the public eye, and in the process, created some of the most exciting and gripping soul/rock music ever recorded. Now with Ike & Tina: On The Road: 1971-72, we have a more than worthy visual accompaniment to their classic sounds. "The film Whats Love Got To Do With It? shows why Ike and Tina Turner broke up," says Gruen. "Ike & Tina: On The Road: 1971-72 shows why Ike and Tina were together for twenty years before that."

Update on Numero Omnibus box:
Yesterday (Wednesday) two massive trucks showed up at Numero HQ. Inside were 14 pallets of books and boxes for our gigantic Eccentric Soul: Omnibus 45x45 box set. Three harrowing hours of bucket-brigade style box moving later, we are finally ready to begin collating and shipping this beast of a project out the door early next week. Still haven't pulled the trigger? Fear not, there's still time! Just not much.
As only 1500 copies of Omnibus were manufactured, the pressing is technically already sold out. However, mailorder customers have always held a spot in our hearts, and we like to reward that direct support with special offers, bonus material, and other crap we make up on the spot. Buying Omnibus from our website today almost guarantees you the bonus pre-order only 46th 45. We say almost because we have very few left. Once we rip through those 500, the plates go into the vault and you'll have to fight bare-knuckle in the secondary market for a copy to complete your Numero run. Or, you could just pre-order the damn thing.
To be clear. We are sending copies to the finest retailers the world over, however, most shops will get only two copies. Do you want to fight bare-knuckle at the record store with your arch nemesis for a box of limited edition singles? (If this does happen, please video tape and send us a copy). I mean, look at that thing! Is it not beautiful? Could you not see it boiling the blood of Frankie and Johnny?
Perhaps you've not heard of Omnibus. We'll explain: Back in early 2003, when Numero was still in an embryonic state, our inaugural release was envisioned as a 10-record, 20-artist pile of peculiar soul 45s, packaged in a cardboard clamshell mailer. It was cobbled together from what, at the time, seemed like a unique selection of singles: off-key vocalists and over-the-top guitar soloists, one-piece string sections and piecemeal brass lines, each of them ostensibly helmed by a savant mad-scientist producer working in jury-rigged, barely functional studio conditions. Its working title was Eccentric Soul.
The imagined box of ten 45s was scrapped, replaced by Eccentric Soul: The Capsoul Label, the project that became Numero 001. From the wreckage of the original set, Altyrone Deno Brown turned out to be a bedrock voice, a central story, and the cover image on 003, Eccentric Soul: The Bandit Label; the Dynamic Tints brightened one small corner of Twinights Lunar Rotation; and Lady Margos This Is My Prayer later found a home inside Peppers Jukebox, the double LP that accompanied Michael Abramsons photography in 2009s Light: On The South Side hardcover book.
All 14 volumes of Eccentric Soul that pre-date this Omnibus sketch a given skein of connective tissue, but fully fleshed out here are the colorful strands linking any given record to untold others: untimely deaths, racial injustice, kid groups dimmed of charm by oncoming adulthood, military base installment, the bitter duty of Vietnam, the state of Alaska, tantalizing flirtations with fame. All of it is evidence that the darkened corners of the music business looked much the same in the pale light of Fresno, California, or Owensboro, Kentucky, or Benton Harbor, Michigan: record labels run by wannabe gangsters, managers with sticky fingers, radio promotion men funneling payola into disc jockey pet projects, marching bands turning into stage bands, youth centers turned into soul schools, and master tapes lost to fire, storm, and flood. Most of these 45s appear austere and simple at a glance, but every crude, hand-drawn logo, every missing or misspelled bit of crucial information, every malapropism-laden band name belies a deep well of unique history. PVC footholds in an uphill battle against badly stacked odds, these were records willed into existence through pure determination.
Omnibus Vol. 1 is an attempt at laying bare a tangled mess of loose ends that Numero (and cohorts) have been tripping over for years. Too disconnected and isolated from one another for expansion into full-length CD or LP projects, weve bound together 90 songs and 45 stories, cross-referencing each town and year of issue, and gathering it all into a compact and elegant monument to Americas soul diaspora.
And the package itself? It's only 45 7 singles from the dustiest corners of the United States, replicated down to the tiniest detail. Housed in a custom Numero-patterned 45 box, replete with metal hardware and handle in 19 different color combinations. Clothbound hardback book with a word count of almost 50,000, covering the bizarre histories of each group, the early history of Numero, plus an absurdly detailed series of indices.

from Riot Act Media (so a little giddy)
This double LP is an expanded edition of a CD of the same name. That disc—originally issued by Glitterhouse in 2000—collected Califone's first two EPs (on Perishable and Road Cone), plus two new songs. Four more songs – unreleased outtakes from the final Red Red Meat recording sessions—have been added here, to this new and expanded version. It's all you need when it comes to the genesis of this well-regarded Chicago-based group. Califone started as the solo project of singer/ guitarist Tim Rutili in the late 1990s, after the dissolution of his band Red Red Meat. Soon enough, Red Red Meat members Ben Massarella and Tim Hurley joined the group, who recorded with RRM's Brian Deck as well as at their own space and with Warren Defever in Livonia, MI.
These songs appear to fall apart and come back together again while you are listening to them. The first song on their first EP, the sleepwalking "On The Steeple W/ The Shakes (XMas Tigers)," sounds like a blues-rock anthem that got dosed at the Christmas party. Rutili says that the song was "made with a drum machine that I stole from my four-year-old son and a brown air organ from the thrift store. We were trying to make our own version of dub music." Naturally it is followed immediately by a gorgeous, largely acoustic folk-pop number, "Silvermine Pictures." Rutili and company were superb at giving you what you didn't expect. Remember, Sub Pop had expected RRM to be the next Pearl Jam based on the success of their first record for them… and their last album was a Christmas-themed banjo-prog record released in late February of 1997.
"On the first two Califone EPs, we were definitely trying to allow some deep change and possibility into what we were doing, and the door was always wide open to accidental music and automatic writing," Rutili explains. "We built a lot of this music on accidents and chance occurrences. Some of the songs are really good; some of it sounds like an expedition that got lost in the woods. I was still playing with toy drum machines, cheap or borrowed synths and a cassette 4track, trying to make songs out of all these insane sounds."
This music is catchy and kind of weird. It's aged as well as any of your favorites from the 1990s, from the Lily's 'Better Can't Make Your Life Better' to Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison"—which is to say, awesomely.
DID YOU KNOW?!?! THIS IS:• The first time this collection has been available on vinyl• Double LP with deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket with all new artwork• Side D contains 4 previously unreleased songs• Includes code for digital download of the entire record

Yes, from Drag City (yall know about the reissue of Accelerator from that Royal Trux thread rat?)Speaking of reissues! We're not just back at you with the forward-singing music of Royal Trux on this fine date, we're also here with something barely-remembered from 1990! To have the album Its Cosy Inside by Woo brought to our attention by the weirdos at Yoga has been odd for us, since we recall scouring the bins back in those days and being fond of Independent Project, the label that originally released this record! We must have been high! (no comment - ed.) Ore maybe we were just distracted trying to keep the "Demolition Plot J-9" 7" in print. Whatever, the reason, who cares? This is the beauty of recorded music and the glory of the object - twenty-two years after the release of this record, we're talking about it again. And it sounds very in tune with today's vogue for kraut-inflected, post new-wave ambient music. Woo's muse is realized on It's Cosy Inside via guitars, electronic percussion, clarinet, bass, treatments, voices and violin. Mark and Clive Ives seemed to enjoy working in miniature - there are sixteen pieces on the album, varied in nature, but all of which ripple rhythmically through the speakers. Sometimes the beat is a pulse, sometimes it has a crisp accent. The classic flavors of exotica are filtered and modulated into something newer in the process, something that predicts the moves of Stereolab and High Llamas, but something that sits very comfortably next to Blues Control as well! So, also new on October 9th: something borrowed, something Woo. It's Cosy Inside - get in there!Also Woo-related on this day is a 7" single that serves as an appeteaser for anyone who is turned on by the description of It's Cosy Inside but isn't sure they want to buy it and they don't know how to pluck it like an apple from the ripe young internet - a split single with a Woo song that didn't make it onto the album and a Nite Jewel piece that doffs her eponymously-encrusted cap in the direction of the Woo sound. Buy that and make up your mind about the album later! Or buy both and ask your local shopkeep for a discount. Woo, we'd like to be there when that deal goes down.

Drag City re thee above image:So yeah - Tony Caro and John. Their lone album All On the First Day has been blowing up the brains of the private press crew for the past decade and more. What can we say? People love their folk music hybrids. In the 90s, if some old record had "Sally Free and Easy" on it, you had to have it! While Tony Caro and John weren't quite that pure of a traddy folk outfit, they have that angle. There's an early Incredible String Band-quality to the singing, but the they were firmly folk-rocky with sweet sexy guitar leads (that burned as often as they twinkled) and odd electronic keyboard touches, all of it captured in a primitive, home-recorded process that allow the trippy elements to shine though in uncompromising sheets of mono sound. Blue Clouds projects slides mostly from the years following All On the First Day's "release" (they made 100 copies and spray-painted jackets and sold them at shows): recordings of a more accomplished quality but retaining their wide-eyed essence. The song "Forever and Ever" has an straight-up pop-rock appeal! Plus, there's an outtake from All On the First Day, and a 1974 live rendition of "There Are No Greater Heroes," but Blue Clouds charts the road beyond for Tony Caro and John - and provides a second, distinctive listen from the fantastic three!

And Mad Music is definitely like, mad! Like most of the records brought to us by Yoga Records, the music of Mad Music Inc has a distinctly outsider quality to it, as if made by folks who couldn't or wouldn't fit in to the world as it was, so they didn't! At the same time, these albums from such varied types as Dwarr, Jeff Eubank, Social Climbers, Matthew Young and yeah, Woo are all examples of places and times that while gone, have left traces in the new generations - all of whom will be thrilled to experience a straight taste of those odd DNA strands that exist within them. Wait, what are we talking about here? Music baby - Mad Music Inc. And that's just about all we have to say on the topic - because the story of Mad Music Inc is that there isn't a story. Ah, thank god - I was gonna go blind if I had to read one more set of liner notes telling me why this record that no one ever heard actually changed the world (note to self: idea for a sci-fi story?)! All there is to say is that the record showed up in racks around the Boston area in 1977, elaborately packaged with random inserts and no other information. The music revolves around a nicely-reverbed piano, but over the course of the title-less first side, sounds come and go, briefly making their play: guitar, harp, flutes, gong, wah-wah, cymbals, sitar, wordless female vocals and tabla, massed vocals and a saxophone and kick drum, finally giving way to a transcendent moment of pure synthetic/progressive art-disco. Side two comes down easy from these heights - primarily spent in a shimmery solo piano wilderness with a bit of flute etc coming in for a bit), the open space of which is dreamy. The artists who made this and purpose for releasing remain unknown. And really, should that ever matter (of course! - discography-scouring ed.)? Get Mad - Mad Music, that is.

It will be limited to 3500 copies worldwide and boasts 75 of the cream of the rarities, demos and outtakes from the box set, including 17 demos taken from Sandy's home recording tapes.

La Primera Flor Despues Del Diluvio (The First Flower after the Flood)Championed by everybody from John Lennon to Peter Gabriel and decried by "Establishment" critics ranging from Vincent Canby to Gene Siskel El Topo remains one of the controversial movies ever made. Director Alejandro Jodorowsky's bizarre, blood-soaked blend of spaghetti Western, druggy surrealism, Christian allegory, Zen Buddhist themes and avant-garde sensibilities gave rise to the entire "Midnight Movie" counterculture phenomenon of the early '70s and forever changed the way adventurous audiences viewed film. Or, for that matter, heard film; for no soundtrack, before or since, has embraced so many styles in its pursuit of spiritual and artistic goals. Atonal, Tibetan Buddhist thighbone trumpets clash with beautiful, even sentimental, chamber orchestra pieces alongside pan flute rhapsodies, brass bands and parlor jazz; that Jodorowsky himself composed the score after, no doubt, intently studying the work of Morricone--is almost as impressive an artistic achievement as the film itself.

OMNIVORE RECORDINGS TO RELEASE NEWLY REMASTERED30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE LONG LOST, OUT-OF-PRINT1982 BERT JANSCH ALBUM HEARTBREAK Available on limited edition vinyl and as a two-CD set combining the originalwith a previously unissued 14-track live show from 1981 LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Omnivore Recordings will release a newly remastered 30th Anniversary limited edition LP and two-CD set of the long lost, out-of-print, landmark 1981 album Heartbreak, by seminal Scottish folk guitarist, singer, and composer Bert Jansch on November 6. The first pressing of the LP will be issued on 1,500 pieces of clear vinyl (with subsequent pressings on black vinyl), while the two-CD collection includes the original Heartbreak album in its entirety along with 14 previously unreleased tracks recorded during an intimate live show in June 1981 at the storied venue inside McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, Calif. Set for release just days after what would have been Jansch's 69th birthday (November 3), this is a collector's must-have, featuring extras including special photos and liner notes by legendary English folk musician Ralph McTell and the album's original producers. Recorded in June 1981 (and released in 1982), Heartbreak was produced by two enthusiastic fans, Rick and John Chelew. This was the first time in the studio for Rick and his brother John (producer of the pivotal John Hiatt album Bring the Family, three Grammy award-winning albums for The Blind Boys of Alabama, and many others). They borrowed money from their mother to finance the sessions and to pay enlisted musicians like renowned guitarist Albert Lee (Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, The Everly Brothers, Bill Wyman) and noted singer/songwriter Jennifer Warnes to accompany Bert in the small Silverlake Studio where the album was recorded. During the sessions, Bert played a few live solo shows around California, including the legendary folk club McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica. Fortunately, Rick and John had the foresight to document these concerts, and now the 30th Anniversary Edition of Heartbreak has been further enhanced by a previously unreleased, complete live show from McCabe's Guitar Shop. Bert Jansch was one of the most important and central figures in folk music, both for his solo recordings and his work with influential British folk group, Pentangle. Born in Scotland, he was steeped in American blues and jazz, North African music, and folk early in his career, and by the beginning of the '60s he was playing the British folk clubs, extending his musical education. Artists like Martin Carthy and Anne Briggs turned him on to songs in the British folk tradition. By the mid-'60s Jansch had set up residence in London where he began and playing live shows, and began making the studio recordings that would come to influence a generation of songwriters, singers, and guitar players. Classic artists like Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Donovan, Elton John, and Nick Drake, all the way up to present artists like Fleet Foxes and Devendra Banhart, have acknowledged Jansch as a major influence and innovator of acoustic guitar playing.By his second album, Jansch was collaborating with John Renbourn, another seminal British folk guitar giant. Together in 1967, they formed Pentangle, one of the most important British folk groups of the '60s. Bert Jansch is listed as one of Rolling Stone magazine's "Top 100 Guitar Players of All Time."According to McTell on his liner notes, "Around this time, Bert was in a very dark place. . . Heartbreak marked an opening up in Bert's approach to his work, and from here on, although times were often difficult, Bert began to sort out his life through his music." Jansch died on October 5, 2011.

Shin Joong Hyun & Yup Juns - Shin Joong Hyun & Yup JunsCD (Out Now), LP (Pre-order)
Spring of 1974 witnessed the birth of psychedelic power trio Shin Joong Hyun & Yup Juns. "In Korean, yupjun literally means a brass coin," Shin explains. "However, during that time it was used as slang to describe a sense of unpleasantness and dislike. Since I was so unpleasant and dissatisfied [in my career], I told myself, 'Ok, fine, I am just a yupjun,' and named my band with a rebellious attitude." He began by renting a room at Seoul's Tower Hotel to serve as a creative base for the group. After six months of preparation, the group cut ten powerful songs filled with monster grooves, fuzz guitar, emotive singing, and top-notch songwriting. The album was pressed up as a broadcast-only promotional vinyl to test radio response; the response wasn't what anyone expected, and the record label refused to release the album. The band re-recorded the album, but it is this, the original ten track version, that has become legendary—with good reason. An astounding record, and one that we are privileged to bring to the rest of the world for the first time.

Also, Death Waltz is doing the Halloween II and III soundtracks on vinyl.
HEAR ALBUM TRACK "HIGHER" HERE:http://bit.ly/UKBVHG"> http://bit.ly/UKBVHGWith insurance money from a recently overturned Buick Century, brothers Andre and Pierre Lewis went on a recording tear through the Twin Cities in 1978, cutting a half-dozen songs in as many studios. Combining the astro-sexuality of Parliament with the sophisticated flammability of Earth, Wind & Fire, the Lewis Connection's misspelled debut captures the Minneapolis Sound's founding fathers at the paradigm-shifting confluence of funk, jazz, and pop for which the Land of 10,000 Lakes is famed.
Notorious child prodigies and party animals, the Lewis Connection's self-titled debut was smoked and snorted by frenzied audiences, with few copies rising to the surface in the intervening decades. Over thirty years later, the seedy masterpieces of Pierre and Andre Lewis remain a freaky hallmark in the canon of Midwestern funk.Recently declared "one of the country's leading reissue labels" by New York Magazine and heralded as "the world's greatest reissue label" by SPIN, The Lewis Connection LP (out February 12th) is the first entry in Numero Group's ongoing excavation of the deep trenches of the Twin Cities' musical history and subhistory.

Some of Numero's 2013 releases, but offers kick in nowsville:Subject: Numero's Class of 2013
(Seasons) Greetings Numerophiles!Another year in the books and we are no wiser, wealthier, or healthier. Such is the life of running "the world's greatest reissue label" (Spin Magazine said it, but who can disagree?)a title we aim to hold onto in 2013 by upping the ante from custom 45 boxes and gold embossed velvet to four alternate LP covers and a playable board game. 2013 marks our tenth year in business, a headboard notch we'll scratch in elaborate fashion over the coming year. We hope you can join us on this journey.Announcing: The 2013 Numero Subscription line:We're very aware that the last two titles of 2012 Vinyl Subscriptions have yet to ship. If we had it our way, both Medusa: First Step Beyond LP and Eccentric Soul: The Bandit Label 3LP would be in our warehouse and awaiting placement in a custom mailer. But alas, delays at the manufacturer have made these impossible to ship before the 10th of January. Oddly enough, however, the first three subscription items for 2013 are already in house and will be on your doorstep before the menorah is stowed for 2014. Part One is a mixed bag of soul, garage, hard rock, funk, and gospel, split across ten LPs and six 45s. As always we'll be offering a bonus 45 and a 15% discount on our entire catalog. On deck:NUM701 Pretty: Mustache In Your Face+3 2x7"Recorded in an actual cave in western Missouri, the quartet formerly known as the Fabulous Four emerged from the depths in 1969 with an albums worth of wasted psychedelia. Helmed by the Electric Prunes Michael Quint, the session produced one promo-only 45, bearing the truly un-pretty Squeakie labela madmans face in red-on-white, howling out of the spindle hole. The songs blend backwards guitar lines, Flamenco runs, triple tracked vocals, heavy distortion, handclaps, key vamps, a Stones rip, and extremely absurd lyrical content. Mustache In Your Face and its flip have been paired with two other magical numbers, their five business card story, and stuffed into a cherry gatefold sleeve.NUM702 Wicked Lester: You Are Doomed+3 2x7"No, not the first incarnation of Kiss, just three wasted kids from Cleveland, Ohio, infatuated with the new wave of british heavy metal. Kick-started in Cleveland in 1979, girls, drugs, sports, and jock rivalry fueled Wicked Lesters aggressive fuck the draft sound. Minted at Boddie in 1981, Wicked Lesters lone single paired Here Comes My Girlfriend with the lovesick, late-Pink Floyd moves of Say Your Prayers, recorded on the same ominous day that John Hinckley Jr. shot President Ronald Reagan. Weve added two unreleased tracks, thrown all four sides into a beautiful gatefold 7 sleeve, and added a couple thousand words about their near-meaningless existence.NUM703 Cave Dwellers: Run Around+3 2x7"Recorded in 1967 at Chicagos Universal Studios and laboriously laden with Buckinghams-style horns and strings, the Cave Dwellers thought theyd locked their first hit down. Given just a few minutes to produce a b-side, the quintet unleashed their primitive and theretofore-unheard power. Run Around ended up a punk precursor that took contemporary rock to its tough, angry, and logical conclusions, scorching past anything the radio ran in its day. Intending only to tear off something fast and easy, the Dwellers had achieved one of Chicago garage rocks most ferocious moments. That original Jim-Ko single has been reproduced alongside two previously unissued rockers and housed in a glorious gatefold sleeve with copious notes and quotes from a confused newsman about the longhair invasion.NUM043 Eccentric Soul: The Dynamic Label 2LPBorn out of the largesse created from Rene & Rene's Hot 100 Tejano tornado "Angelito," Dynamic Records was but one of half a dozen labels run by San Antonio music and real estate mogul Abe Epstein. His flag ship group, the Commands, took their AFB circuit-honed chops up to the middle of the charts in 1966 with "No Time For You," paving the way for 20 other soulful singles over Dynamic's impressive two and a half year run. Epstein's open door policy led to a diverse cross section of the population converging inside his studio on General McMullan Drive, as whites, blacks, and Latinos were swapped in and out of groups as needed. That melting pot mentality is well represented by the Tonettes, Little Jr. Jesse & the Tear Drops, Don & the Doves, Willie Cooper & the Webs, Bobby Blackmon & his Soul Express, and Doc & Sal. Compiled here are 28 of Dynamic's most intriguing sides, representing the first layer of a treasure trove of San Antonio soul we'll be unleashing over the coming year.CT-102 Mickey & the Soul Generation: Complete Recordings 3LPFor the tenth anniversary of DJ Shadow's Cali-Tex records' reissue of Mickey & the Soul Generation's complete works, Numero has gone back to the scene of the crime and re-canvased for new leads. Expanded liner notes, a previously unissued ballad, and the first ever vinyl issue of the second CD's contents are included here, alongside half a dozen previously unpublished photographs of this multi-ethnic funk combo from San Antonio, Texas. NUM040 Good God! Apocryphal Hymns 2LPThe third entry into our Good God! series abandons funk altogether, instead focusing on the esoteric moments found buried deep on private-issue LPs from the the Me Decade. Featuring four unique album covers pulled straight from the pages of the Century stock jacket catalog, Apocryphal Hymns examines a world buried deep on side 2, those lost moments of experimental praise and devotion recorded as an after thought for a listener who needed no turntable. N44004 King Bullard Version LPThe fourth release in our trad LP-only Numerophon line gathers highlights from James Bullard's BOS label. BOS got its start inside Lester Johnson and Bill Branch's Way Out concern, running the gospel wing of Cleveland's largest black-owned record company, and picking up a ton of Way Out's soulful flavor in the process. This single LP features 14 songs, with liner notes by noted gospel historian John Glassburner.NUM047 Eccentric Soul: The Forte Label 2LPA king's ransom of soul and funk from the City of Fountains (Kansas City for the uninformed), all produced under the watchful eye of TV producer Ellis Taylor. Though the label's star was James Brown Revue castaway Marva Whitney, Taylor's 15-year yield included singles by the likes of the Fantastiks, Gene Williams, Lee Harris, the Rayons, the Four Darlings, Everyday People, Sharon Revoal, Louis Chachere, Tony Ashley, the Fabulous Rhythm Makers, and Marva's brother James Whitney.The compact disc edition of our 2013 subscription surfs the above edges, but is a bit... well... more compact, and cheaper. Our plan is to issue only six titles in our main line next year, though to be fair, one of them is an elaborate double disc. We're not quite sure what the final disc of 2013 is going to be, but it will be either an entry into our Buttons or Local Customs series. Of course all six will meet or exceed our standard for packaging, notes, research, and over all quality, plus you get the 15% discount and the bonus 45.For $120 you'll recieve:NUM043 Eccentric Soul: The Dynamic Label CDNUM040 Good God! Apocryphal Hymns CDNUM047 Eccentric Soul: The Forte Label CDNUM048 Title TBA CDHair, Hobbits, and Hard Rock. Let these 15 hard rock blasterpieces from the private '70s soundtrack to your next D&D or Magic the Gathering night. Dungeon map and 20 sided die included.NUM050 Title TBA 2CD+BookIn the late 1970s, a peculiar sound was bubbling up from the land of 10,000 lakes. Not known for its abundance of soul nor a sizable African American population, Minneapolis still harbored a tight-knit community of musicians who, between 1976 and 1984, manipulated the dance music of their coastal contemporaries into a brightly lit, multicolored, energetic fusion, taking R&B's innate danceability and giving it a glam-rock sheen. The most shakeable moments have been compiled onto two discs, with a hardback book packed with photos and stories from this vibrant scene. Lesser royalty? Perhaps. But the blood here runs purple.Finally, we're officially launching our 45 subscription. The Eccentric Soul 45 subscription guarantees two 45s every other month, delivered directly to your door. Content will be a mix of previously unissued material and straight-up rare-as-all-get-out 45s from the soul diaspora.

New Captured Tracks sublabel Body Double just reissued the Blissed Out Fatalists album, which I had never heard of but is kind of amazing. Like really early Jesus & Mary Chain with a little bit more noise and some surprising worship of the Fall on side 2. Really good.
