One thing about The Eagles that's interesting:
One member ( a late arrival) is respected and beloved by many-Joe Walsh One member-hated and reviled by many (including his bandmates)-Don Henley
Thereby creating balance in the universe
( Emphasis mine) The Eagles did their best stuff before Joe Walsh joined, in my humble opinion. The Bernie Leadon era (i.e. the first four albums -- which is the period that the Greatest Hits pictured above covers) is the real deal, as far as I'm concerned. Once Leadon left, the Eagles lost a whole lot of their country/bluegrass sound and moved much more into AOR. I agree - they weren't a bad little country-rock outfit in the pre-Walsh era, and without really knowing much about it I thought of them as following in the tradition of other American country-rock acts like, I dunno, the Flying Burrito Brothers, though of course in a much more commercial, AM-radio-friendly way. Conversely, I think Walsh too did his best work before he joined the Eagles, when he was with the James Gang. I do like "In the City", though. But even that song was done as well or better by Walsh solo, IIRC. |

Some finds I thought were interesting and picked up I like a little bit of '60 era Peter, Paul & Mary...there's something very comforting about it. Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits is an absolute classic -- all killer, no filler. The live versions of "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" and "Kathy's Song" on that album blow the studio versions of those songs (from the Sounds of Silence and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme albums respectively) into the weeds. I'm on my second vinyl copy of that album, having worn out and trashed the original 1972 pressing that I inherited (or stole) from my Mum's record collection in the late '80s. |

And didn't Jimmie Wakely have his own DC comic for awhile?

He can play them. I'm still working on getting my record player running. But once I do I will be able too also. It's an RCA console from the 50s. And yes, Jimmy (my mistake not yours) Wakely had his own comic. 18 issues by DC from 1949-52. |

OK, so here's the big one, let me introduce you to some of my record collection  First, the record shack, my litlle cobin outside the house in the forest, where I go to do almost nothing but listen to music :                This is where i mostly store all that is pop (Pop, rock, new wave, punk, post punk, disco, breaks, freestyle, kraut, industrial, electro, house, techno, hip hop, soul, funk, indie, dubstep, rave, IDM, jungle, abstract ambient, etc. Also some avant garde 7"s...) The turntable is an old customized Technics MKII (the other one is at the repair shop), the amp is an old JVC A-K10 and the speakers are home built. I also have muy little "vinyl hospital section right by the turntable, with spare inner sleeves, plastic sleeves and generic sleeves underneath. |

Here's my bedroom with most of the avant garde, experimental, Jazz, free jazz, library, post industrial, folk and world music...    A little IO portable turntable unit on the floor and some comics and stuff in the later two as well  Some doubles for trade  some randomly stored piles in the children playhouse. There's some more piles like that in various parts of the house... Sigh.... |

So my main obsessions in "collecting" would be Steve Lacy (Monkian modern jazz/free jazz sax player - got over 100 LPs with him), Nurse With Wound (abstract noise drone collage dada experimentations, got everything from him on wax, about 80 records), Autechre (electronica/IDM kings, got everything related to them, about 120 records if you include remixes and exclusive comp appearances), John Fahey (Finger picking steel guitar psych folk/blues, got about 30 LPs of his, plus tons from his Takoma label and close minded artists such as Robbie Basho or Peter Lang), the Folkways label (trying to get all the avant garde in various style they released, but I'm always buying whatever I find from them, best label ever between the 50ies till the late 80ies). Then I guess I have a complete colection of records from Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Coil, Zoviet France, Aphex Twin, LFO, Don Cherry, Arthur Russell, Crass, Pram, and many others, but their discography isn't nearly as extended as the previously mentioned artists or labels.
Currently mostly looking to find records from Stockhausen, Spacemen 3 related, Bo Didley, songs from Burundi, cajun music and obscure 80 minimal synth I don't already have.
Also currently re-investingating early naughties US mainstream hiphop in order to find some dark, electronic-ish, club heavy mixes I might have missed... I guess it's all over the place.

Glad to see the new Duran Duran album 'Paper Gods' (Sept 2015) will also be on vinyl but it's being packaged with a lousy t-shirt and sold as a deluxe package. Honestly, the band should hire me to do their album art and t-shirts since I won't be caught alive wearing that shi**y t-shirt. is that not among the worst album covers you have ever seen? I GET what they were going for, and I also get all the references. .but good lord, what a horrid cover. |

What kind of Industrial do you have/like most? I must confess my EBM side of collection would be mostly stuff like Klinik. |

What kind of Industrial do you have/like most? I must confess my EBM side of collection would be mostly stuff like Klinik. Unfortunately, no doubles (as you can expect, even back in the late 80's when they were brand new, those suckers were always in the $25-$40 range -- if you could find them, since the DJs weren't supposed to sell em!). but someday if I ever need the money, I have a huge option, with my 12", KISS, and Toy collections . . I always joke I'll open up an Ebay store someday! (speaking of Ebay, I DO see the Razormaid! or the sister service. who's name is escaping me at the moment, up for auction occasionally). as for what I like.. I really am into the early industrial (anything on WaxTrax!), or Alternative music. . stuff like Vicious Pink, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Westbam!, Cassandra Complex, HoHoKam, A Split Second . . etc. . . all that stuff, it was getting played in the clubs back in the late 80's early 90's? Odds are I have it on 12" |
