Deep Rest, if you go to the site under the "Other" section there is a bit about the guitar stuff from Speed.

I know for me to ship a cd to the states it cost less than $2. Not only that but they had free shipping within the US. No one else probably cares about this but it pisses me off too no end. I hate it when someone sends a cd in a box that’s big enough to fit shoes in.
Okay people, I got something else I’m selling
brand new sealed
The Shambolic Birth & Early Life of The Flaming Lips
This is a sampler of the LIps’ indie years. I’m practically giving it away at 99 cents. (I have two of them that’s why I’m selling it)
Follow my ebay link in the first post

I was looking into this shelf for christmas that holds 400. pretty pathetic reasoning, huh?
Anyway I just had a change of heart and took most of those CD’s off ebay. Even watery domestic, it’s good to have just to borrow to a friend if you want to introduce them to pavement plus maybe somedays I’ll just want to listen to those 4 songs and not shuffle through all the crap on the rerelease.
I don’t know what’s going on it’s not like I’m broke or anything I was just having a bit of a personal crisis I guess.
Did you guys ever see the movie Vinyl (probably very hard to find you can rent it at Roger’s video in Canada). It’s scary how much I identified with all of the fuckups in that show.
It’s like once you have too much music you don’t appreciate it anymore it’s just an addiction. I have CDs that I’ve listened to less than once and some I haven’t listened to in years. I rarely just sit in my room and listen to music anymore I’m usually just discovering new stuff on the internet. And even if I do sit in my room and listen to music there are other things I should probably be doing instead like studying or going out and meeting people, getting a life, being realistic.
Sorry about all this, just venting, had a rough couple of days. If anyone wants to discuss this stuff taht’s be cool.
yeah, you guys are smart I’ve ordered the rerelease (that goes for the flaming lips too) but I just read that the album is going to be remastered so I’m thinking I should keep my old one. (remastering S + E???? doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the whole lo-fi thing)
I hope no one is getting mad that i’m using the board for these puposes but If you are I don’t care. My goal is to have less than 400 cds but it seems like very time I sell one I get about 2 (I’m at about 422 now) more. My CD collection is the hydra.
ANyway following the link above will take you to
Pavement – Slanted & Enchanted, Watery Domestic
Smashing Pumpkins – Ava Adore single
Flaming Lips – In A Priest Driven Ambulance
Sparta – Austere EP
The Amps (Kim Deal) – Pacer
Buffalo Springfield – S/T
REM – Up, RevealI’ve tried really hard but I just can’t do it. My body just wasn’t made for doing it. I’ve spent many hours trying to do an ollie with virtually no luck. Maybe I need lessons.
someone pointed me to this classic amps page and it looked exactly the same. I don’t know where jeremiah got this board from but I don’t think he built it himself
Yeah I should have ordered it from amazon.ca (did you see their shipping costs… ridiculous) but too late. HMV.com also has it but they don’t have the doug martsch album which I really want.
I think cdplus.com is the best place to buy CD’s (even for Americans) but they don’t have everything I want (although they do have a few surprises)
Anyway, looking forward to the album. I really like Tell The Truth (bit of Urge Overkill or is it just me?), and If That’s how it’s gonna be.
QUOTE: The psych maelstrom known as Dinosaur Jr. started in 1984 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when the band released their first album on Homestead Records after being discovered by Gerald Cosloy, who would soon co-found Matador Records. Then the band moved over to the quintessential indie label SST Records, which was run by a couple of members of Rickie Lee Jones and was home to such legends as The Minutemen, Husker Du, Bad Brains, Sonic Youth, and Soundgarden. Dinosaur Jr. quickly reached legendary status themselves after releasing two of the best rock records ever recorded, You’re Living All over Me (1987) and Bug (1988). Those records’ distinctive, twisted airplane-volume fuzz helped shape the ’90s explosion of slacker and grunge rock throughout the world.
After the release of Bug, Dinosaur Jr.’s bass player left the band because he and J just couldn’t get along. His name was Lou Barlow, and you might have heard of Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion, the bands he went on to start.
So J Mascis pretty much took over Dinosaur at this point, subsequently signing to a major label (Warner Brothers) and playing every instrument on the acclaimed EP The Wagon and the follow-up full-length Green Mind. Those releases helped thrust J’s vision into the radar of the mainstream with beautifully arranged pop songs as well as the sonic ear killers. During the next few years, he released several more albums, which thrust him in to the MTV limelight and even earned him some big screen cameos. A rock icon had been born, but slowly his audience started to fizzle. People were too concerned with how amazing the old albums were instead of the great new songs and sounds J was producing, and so, by the late ’90s, Dinosaur Jr. became extinct.
This is one of the best summaries of Dinosaur Jr I’ve ever read sort of a Dino for Dummies. Absolutely right about Bug and YLAOM being two of the best rock albums ever recorded. After years of finding more great albums those are still my top two.
