Nina Nastasia’s The Blackened Air
Joni Mitchell meets Will Oldham? Strange, beautiful, quite folksy music with all kinds of strange things going on (singing saws, accordeons etc.), excellently produced by Steve Albini
Spent a day at the giant cd and recordfair in Utrecht, just some of the stuff I bought:
Hellacopters – Cream of the crap (brand new, for just 8 euros, which is a little more than 7 US$, yes, den Buck could jump for joy!!
And for 5 euros each:
Flaming Sideburns – Hallelujah Rock’n’Rollah
Marc Ribot – Saints
Shudder to Think – First love, last rites OST (with Jeff Buckley, Billy Corgan, Low etc. as guests)
Mercury Rev – Live 8.28.2001 (looks like a promotional release on V2 records, simple cardboard sleeve, but a full live show in excellent sound-quality)
Prefab Sprout – The Gunman and other stories
Conmemmorativo, a Tribute to Gram Parsons (with Steve Wynn, Uncle Tupelo, Bob Mould & Vic Chesmutt and others, on Rhino)
Gorki – Het beste van
Monza – van God los (two excellent bands from Belgium with great Flemish/Dutch lyrics)
To Rococo Rot and I-Sound – Music is a hungry ghost (post-rock from Germany)And my most expensive purchase:
Little Feat – Waiting for Columbus (the enhanced, rmastered edition, now a double-cd with a lot of extra songs)
I paid 12 euros for it (a little more than 10 US$), it was the only copy the guy had, sorry Hansione, I can imagine your hair turning grey reading this, except for the fact that you have no hair….. <img>Cream of The Crap for 7 bucks US…you lucky so & so <img> Probably gonna cost me something like 30 bucks american to get it shipped with exchange, duty and tax…oh well I am an insane Hellacopters fan <img>
Allison…seriously considering a move to Amsterdam for the music and… <img>
DB-that Shudder To Think soundtrack has some good tracks,the song with Robin Zander is fun,I like the John Doe one as well,and with Low with Wedren imitating Neil Diamond is pretty funny because he sounds so much like him.

BTW..Great stuff you’ve bought!Remember The Shangri-Las, 20 very pleasing songs for eight bucks… <img>
Fav song, Remember Walking In The Sand, gotta love the seagulls <img>
Allison
Walking In The Sand is a cool song <img> Past Present And Future is kinda creepy <img> and I Can Never Go Home Again is kinda strange as well,but cool,you can hear how Kim Gordon picked up alot of her spoken word/singing style from the Shangri La`s.
Definitely agree about the influence on Kim Gordon, great sound!! Past, Present and Future is creepy, Dressed In Black is pretty sweet <img>
Allison
Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Amazing!!!!!!Antipop Consortium – Arrythmia
The proof that hip-hop isn’t dead (yet), amazing sounds (ping-pong samples, Massive Attack samples etc. etc. etc.) amazing lyrics at breakneck speed (’Appreciation is just as impractical as masculinity for drag queens in the game of role reversal’ and rhyming ‘Celine Dion’ with ‘pure freon’, beat that Jay-Z… <img> )
den Buck says ‘YO!’ <img>Malc-no,I have`nt listened to St Etienne before,heard before that they were good,I`ll check out some mp3`s by them;they have a cd by them on sale around here,I think it might be Good Humor,worth getting?
Pram is another good band in the Stereolab type vein,check them out.Hey Salami-one,
Saint Etienne is cool! I picked up their "Too young to die" compilation a few years ago at a record fair, it’s a collection of their early singles (up until 1995), they’ve always released quite cool singles…..
Been following them more or less from then on, the "Good humour" album even has a song called "Dutch TV" on it (ending with a Danish sample, strange….. <img> ), it’s a fine album, I think you will like it!
