There's all that dust, though. ♥ 9:03am

ultradamno: ...or Monster High, if you trust the tastes of monster teen girls   🎸 ♥ 9:07am
Jay Current: Dinosaur Jr.'s "Just Like Heaven" cover is odd in the sense that it sounds completely different musically yet doesn't really alter the mood or tone or the song. 🎸 ♥ 9:09am
ultradamno: Speaking of The Cure www.yahoo.com... 🎸 ♥ 9:12am
ultradamno: Poltergeists seem like they be the best at handling the vinyl, except they'd just throw them at people...   9:12am
JoeH:

↳ Mr Fab @9:03

Of course I meant a Fab Friday, but Fab with a fan works just fine! Two turntables and a microphone! ♥ 9:15am

Mr Fab:

↳ Song: "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" by "Jerry Tiffe"

my homies and I would catch Jerry Tiffe rock the Atrium Lounge of the Tropicana, back in the waning days of Rat Pack-era Vegas. Once, he invited us on stage to join him kick-dancing to "New York New York."

Them days in Vegas is LONG gone...

♥ 9:19am
Mr Fab:

↳ Asheville Jon @9:17

Wassup, Jon!?
THink of this is as Minimalistic electronic music.   🎸 ♥ 9:19am
Jay Current:

↳ ultradamno @9:09

The Cure were also Olivia Rodrigo's guest performers at Glastonbury and have announced their own new album is coming. Looks like with all the good press they're getting they may be making one last push.   🎸 ♥ 9:21am
Jay Current:

↳ Song: "Horseshoe Casino, Cleveland, OH (excerpt)" by "Ad...

Heard the Wheel of Fortune jingle in there ♥ 9:22am
Mr Fab:

Do you know if they salvaged the atrium when they knocked down Tropicana? ♥ 9:23am
Mr Fab:

↳ Song: "Lie Dream Of A Casino Soul (Live)" by "The Fall"

i'd guess that winning the jackpot would be the dream of a casino soul. 🎸 ♥ 9:23am
David The Splatter:

↳ David The Splatter @9:23

*the stained glass ceiling, I mean. ♥ 9:23am
Asheville Jon:

↳ Mr Fab @9:19

nice way of approaching it, but i've been way too disoriented and tripped out in casinos by that jingly-jangly casino machine noise that it just really weirds me out when i hear it. 🎸 ♥ 9:23am
Olleh: Holy Moly Mr Fabioli and the league of the fabulous! 🎸 ♥ 9:25am
Olleh:

They remodeled the Trop and got rid of the Atrium Lounge even before the demolition, so probly not... ♥ 9:26am
Mr Fab: Yo Olleh! You beat me to it, playing the casino sounds album before me yesterday. 🎸 ♥ 9:28am
Olleh:

↳ Mr Fab @9:26

Adrian Rew creates the grooviest field recordings! 🎸 ♥ 9:29am

David The Splatter:

↳ Mr Fab @9:32

The title of my new Zombie Skinemax flick!   🎸 ♥ 9:34am
Jay Current: If you want another odd album title, the Genesis album "Three Sides Live" now consists of four sides of live songs. Originally, the US version had three live sides and a bonus side of B-sides and EP tracks (hence the album title), but the UK version was released with all live sides, and all international versions and modern rereleases are based on the UK version. 🎸 ♥ 9:36am
David The Splatter:

↳ Song: "Yashar" by "Dubxotica"

Now that I got that promotion at work, I'll have more money to spend at Bandcamp by next month.   🎸 ♥ 9:37am

↳ David The Splatter @9:36

His new position? Head Music Listener. ♥ 9:37am
Mr Fab: I just learned that the Devo live album "Now It Can Be Told" was three sides on vinyl, with the fourth side unplayable. It had a message saying something like, "SPuds! Do Not PLay this Side!"
I only had the CD. Which didn't have sides. 🎸 ♥ 9:38am
David The Splatter:

↳ Jay Current @9:37

They won't let me put that on a business card. :(   🎸 ♥ 9:41am
Jay Current:

↳ David The Splatter @9:38

You'll have to make your own office plaque for it. ♥ 9:43am
Mr Fab: I'm trying to get Ken to make business cards for me that read: "Bad Mamma Jamma Chief Programma," but he won't return my calls..   🎸 ♥ 9:43am
Jay Current:

↳ Mr Fab @9:37

The CD of Tom Petty's "Full Moon Fever" has a brief field recording of Tom Petty telling you that the album will be taking a brief intermission as a courtesy to vinyl and cassette listeners who are having to flip. 🎸 ♥ 9:45am
Olleh:

↳ Mr Fab @9:37

I’m new to this unplayable sides biz and,in certifiable spud head fashion, played the flip side of an “ A Decade of Anxiety: Tranquilizer Treatment” psych conference lp I found. It was banded. My needle skated like mad. 🎸 ♥ 9:47am
Olleh:

↳ Mr Fab @9:43

That would be great! Ask Michele.   🎸 ♥ 9:47am
Jay Current:

↳ Olleh @9:45

I only have one unplayable side, and it's for a Jimmy Eat World album I found on a discount rack. ♥ 9:47am
Mr Fab:

↳ Olleh @9:45

exactly the kind of thing to cause psychiatric anxiety.   🎸 ♥ 9:47am
Jay Current:

↳ Jay Current @9:47

Apparently some people use them to help align record player cartridges. ♥ 9:48am
Mr Fab: Wall Of Voodoo had a single, the b-side was called "There's Nothing On this Side." You could play it, but it was just the band saying how there's nothing on this side. ♥ 9:49am
Jan Turkenburg: Talking of psychiatric anxiety: here is mister T. ! 😎
Hi Mr Fab and folks! 🎸 ♥ 9:51am
Olleh:

↳ Jan Turkenburg @9:49

Jan! We’ll need 300mg of mellow tambourinazine   🎸 ♥ 9:52am
Jay Current: Meanwhile, the real Herb Alpert is still alive and touring. 🎸 ♥ 9:52am
Olleh:

↳ Jay Current @9:47

Seriously? I cannot fathom it ♥ 9:53am

↳ Song: "Kumbia Dark" by "Kumbia Queers"

They played here in Pittsburgh 2 years ago.   🎸 ♥ 9:56am
Jay Current:

↳ Olleh @9:52

I've heard of people doing it, although I'm not quite sure how it works. I have a P-joint player, so I don't have any cartridges to realign. ♥ 9:56am
Mr Fab: Wow, didn't know they toured so far north. 🎸 ♥ 9:56am
David The Splatter:

↳ Jan Turkenburg @9:49

Ya, HALLO JAN! 🎸 ♥ 9:58am
Olleh:

↳ Jay Current @9:56

Cartridges are so expensive. Only makes me afraid to play a less than pristine record. ♥ 9:59am
Asheville Jon:

↳ Jan Turkenburg @9:49

oh my gosh hi 🎸 ♥ 10:01am
ultradamno:

↳ Jay Current @9:19

David Byrne too   🎸 ♥ 10:01am
Jay Current: For perspective on Herb Alpert's popularity, he takes up half the Top 10 for Cash Box Magazine's year-end albums for 1966: www.cashboxarchives.com...

While LPs were not as big of a market then, it is still baffling that one artist is that disproportionately popular.

  🎸 ♥ 10:03am
Jay Current:

↳ Olleh @9:58

Old discount rack records make up most of my collection. I clean them with alcohol and water beforehand though.   🎸 ♥ 10:05am
Jay Current:

↳ ultradamno @10:01

She's had some interaction with Jack White as well, although he's always stayed recording and touring, so no change for his career. ♥ 10:05am
Asheville Jon:

↳ Song: "Robots Can't Cry" by "Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra"

fantastic!   🎸 ♥ 10:06am
Jay Current:

↳ Song: "Robots Can't Cry" by "Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra"

The sort of stuff Miss Mei plays on Tuesdays 🎸 ♥ 10:06am
ultradamno: Courtney Love, on the other hand, accused her of ripping off her album cover ('cause, you know, Hole invented unhappy at the prom...didn't swipe that from Carrie at all) ♥ 10:07am
Mr Fab:

↳ Asheville Jon @10:05

Don't know if they perform much beyond Southern Cali, but their whole theatrical experience is not to be missed. 🎸 ♥ 10:09am
David The Splatter:

Herbie? 🎸 ♥ 10:11am
ultradamno: Well, now I want a klezmer Grinding Halt   10:13am
JoeH: I saw the Stringdusters do the entire Tommy album live 🎸 ♥ 10:15am
ultradamno: I figured we'd be hearing this Naturals cover ♥ 10:15am
Mr Fab:

↳ ultradamno @10:11

Ha, sounds like something John Zorn would do. 🎸 ♥ 10:16am
Olleh:

↳ Jay Current @10:03

Primarily used and strictly
thrift store finds for me in the last decade. Cleaning records is an adventure. I’ve tried all kinds of stuff. I swear by two. The owner of a fantastic warehouse sized used lp store here said his home made recipe is 3 drops of Dawn in distilled water. I shy away from the alkiehall. I’ve heard it eats grooves, but I’m sure it’s proportion size. ♥ 10:18am
Mr Fab:

↳ JoeH @10:13

Whaa..?
Is there a recording of it?   🎸 ♥ 10:19am
Jay Current:

↳ Olleh @10:16

I would wipe with alcohol and then wipe with distilled water immediately afterward. More recently I got something called Groovinator record cleaner. It's some sort of distilled detergent formula that you dilute into water. 🎸 ♥ 10:20am
Olleh: I’m a Rod McKuen 🎸 ♥ 10:22am

JoeH:

↳ Mr Fab @10:18

My bad, it was the Hillbenders, and they do have an album of Tommy the bluegrass opera. 🎸 ♥ 10:28am
Olleh:

↳ Jay Current @10:19

So many record cleaners- so little patience. Years ago I remember a cautionary tale from the Pages of Goldmine: “Do NOT use Glass Plus to clean records. It will make records shine, but destroy the grooves” 🎸 ♥ 10:30am
ultradamno: If you've ever seen the show Minx, there's a scene with a guy playing Hockney that's pretty memorable 🎸 ♥ 10:31am
David The Splatter: Guess that's a WRAP on the Mummy's set. Had to fix a copier jam on the lower floor. ♥ 10:33am
Mr Fab:

↳ David The Splatter @10:31

ah damn, how'd I miss making bad jokes like that? WHere's Lou Tacky when you need him? 🎸 ♥ 10:34am
David The Splatter:

↳ Mr Fab @10:33

He probably broke the copier I just had to call in. 🎸 ♥ 10:35am
ultradamno: Not to mention When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy....Beefheart at his punniest ♥ 10:35am
Mr Fab:

↳ JoeH @10:27

AH, ok, noted. thanks! 🎸 ♥ 10:36am
Olleh:

↳ Olleh @10:28

I forgot to clarify:certain Goldmine sellers were using Glass Plus to give the impression the records were in immaculate condition. Haha. Vinyl shysters. 🎸 ♥ 10:39am
Olleh:

↳ Song: "Cumbia de los estudiantes" by "Mexican Institute ...

I love both of these Latin weirdos. Both played here too. ♥ 10:40am

Olleh:

Yes! A festival! Los Huevos Bien Puestos Festival!! 🎸 ♥ 10:48am

Jan Turkenburg: great show, thanks MF! ♥ 10:58am
Mr Fab: Thank to all of YOOO my Sheena’s ohana! ♥ 10:59am
Mr Fab: Take it away Jan!   🎸 ♥ 10:59am
Jay Current:

↳ Jan Turkenburg @10:56

It's one of their best, but I'd imagine it's a difficult one to translate to a live environment.
