Just saw that We Are Busy Bodies are gonna reissue the great Lemon Dips (Johnny Hawksworth & Peter Reno) library psych lp from '69 that was originally on Music De Wolfe.

Agitation Free - Live in the Studi '73. Killer German underground psych.

Milton's 1957 painting, Introspection.
Jasis - early 70s Seattle private press jazz featuring the great artist Milton Simons on vibes. Recorded and originally released by Kearney Barton and digitized by UW Ethnomusicology Archives.

Cool short about Seattle greats, the U-Men.

Danny & the Dressmakers - Please Don't Make Another Bass Guitar, Mr Rickenbacker?
We didn't get much UK distro & I tried dropping some off at Piccadilly years ago, but they weren't interested. The 1979 recordings on Auricle is also really cool long/zonked out jams.
Nice. Yeah, I wanna order some for our shop.
We put out this GAM lp back 2015 & it didn't get much hype so it took ages for people to learn about, but we are down to our last copies & it won't be repressed. So if you dig Krautrock, Ash Ra, or AR & the Machines, order now or cry later when it's expensive.

Drills - No More Beer. As someone who thinks hardcore should be as tuneless as possible, I was pumped to discover early 80s outsider Seattle HC band, the Drills, and we put out their 7" in 2007. They had a bunch of demo songs and we picked our fav/most damaged songs.

Bill Dixon - live in '68. A lot of heavies on this one including an early (first recorded?) appearance by Arthur Doyle.

Frankenstein was also an early version of the Dead Boys.
RIP Günter Schickert. Truly one of the great unsung heroes of the underground German music scene.
If you are still looking for a gift for that Messthetics/70s UK post-punk fan in your life, may I suggest our awesome Hardware retrospective? Pairs well w/ the Homosexuals, Reptile Ranch, pragVEC, Normil Hawaiians, Glaxo Babies, Happy Refugees, etc.

TIL that Hans Reichel & Achim Knispel had a late 60s underground German avant-rock band called Horizon Cee who, according to Crack in the Cosmic Egg guy, did sorta Cream/Plastic Ono/psych jazz jams
That & Closer are my fav Bley records...probably because they both include Ida.
Surprised Dischord or some other enterprising label hasn't done a Double O retrospective.

Pink Floyd (minus Syd) & Blue Cheer is a killer pairing. Seattle, 1968.
Like a lot of folks of a certain age, I only knew Modern English from "Melt With You" and never bothered to check out their earlier stuff & that's a shame cuz they were quite solid. This song sound like a post-punk band channeling Hawkwind. youtu.be/C3FJ9vFFnjo?...
Killer!
Here's the entire episode of denim-clad Tony Wilson's So It Goes where the Sex Pistols made their tv debut in '76. I've seen their performance before but it's cool to watch it in context of what else was happening at the time. Must have been shocking to watch live.

The world could use a vinyl pressing of the Hash Jar Tempo catalog (Bardo Pond plus Roy Montgomery).

John Livengood - s/t cassette on Eurock. Awesome French electronic weirdness from the Spacecraft/Red Noise dude. Never been reissued.

Hard to go wrong with any of that.
I'm digging this release by Romeo Poirier, which is a really cool collage of studio chatter, false starts, & various other studio sounds normally left on the cutting room floor.

Never heard their full-lengths, but I have a few of their singles that are cool. Wanna say they share members w/ Crawlspace.
Nice score with Dragonfly!
great as usual!
The world could use a vinyl pressing of Bailter Space's Solar 3, which only came out on cd back in the day.

Crime & the City Solution - 1979 demo. Not great, but still cool to hear what they sounded like prior to the main dude moving to the UK & reforming the band with Rowland S Howard, Mick Harvey, and Epic Soundtracks.
