(Back to Finnish Suicide Gore Metal tomorrow!)
Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

RELAX, WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME
ReplyDeleteThanks for the share but just a quick note to say it seems to me that the download link don't work.
DeleteJust checked - works fine here. Try again, use VPN.
DeleteYour cult programming seems to be loosening my grip on reality and aesthetic standards. Like Last Exit from the day before, I've succumbed to the soft rock pop narcotic you've been slipping us in between disorienting doses of psychedelia. Hopefully you will not take advantage of me while I'm lulled into a blissful Sunday stuppor. Speaking of which, that "Load Master" dude (one of your inner circle?) that often comes up on your new file hosting service gives me the creeps -- I don't want his load!
ReplyDeleteThe Load Master dude is a Millennial. So everything's copacetic with our shit.
DeleteHello Farq
ReplyDeleteI hope you don’t mind me pointing out that this thread appears to be dead on its feet. It has had its day, its moment in the sun.
So may I please take it off on a slight tangent? I was prompted to go to the shelf to look at my Alessi LP. It appears I no longer have an Alessi LP. It’s been stolen, sold or mis-filed. Oh well.
In the space next to where my Alessi LP should be is an album called “Riverboat Man” by Larry “Jinx” Alexander. Can’t remember where, why or when I acquired it but I’m glad I did. It’s not great, but it’s good*, a low-rent Jesse Winchester/Jim Stafford/Bobby Charles with hints of John Prine/Kris Kristofferson kinda thing, on the Demon label dated ‘89 but may be a reissue of a Private Stock album from ’75 with a few tracks changed or renamed.
(One of the songs is called “Tadpole Simpson”. If I wasn’t called Peanuts Molloy I would be called Tadpole Simpson for sure.)
The album features Travis Wammack on guitar, famed for the terrible “Scratchy” single, which may be why I bought it. The main thing is, the producer’s notes on the back of the sleeve are a hoot and sound as tho’ they are either made up or extracted from an Elmore Leonard novel; however, from the little I can find on the internet, they may well be true. I do hope so. (Scroll down here to have a look: http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/fiend139 ) Apart from confirming the album exists, the internet tells me nuthin’.
Now, you seem to be a chap who knows loads about lots - do you know anything about “Jinx”?
Cheers, Peanuts Molloy.
* actually, on second listen it may not even be good. The first two tracks on side 2 are dreadful.
Intriguing, that’s what it is. Just another album with a story to tell which is largely unheard.
An obscure not-very-good album with a couple of terrible tracks? That sounds like our kind of thing, doesn't it? I ain't heard of it. Please rip and display!
Delete(Incidentally, Peanuts - these ain't discussion threads. They're convenient musical snacks for four or five guys. Even the earliest are still getting scooped from the bowl)

Yo Farqster, now that you relaunched the Alessis elsewhere, you mind upping this?
