The Beatles - The Capitol Albums Vol.2
The longbox packaging is even worse than I'd been lead to believe. I bought this mostly for Rubber Soul, but I don't think I'm ever going to feel it again the way I once did.
Pete Rodriguez - I Like It Like That
Good, solid boogaloo.
Willie Colon/Hector Lavoe - El JuicioLarry Harlow: HommyAzuquita: Pura Salsa
Replacements for the previous CD reissues I owned. Sound better all around. I don't love Hommy as much as some people though.
Hector "El Bambino" & Naldo Presentan: Sangre Nueva
Good reggaeton collection, though the best tracks are mostly on the first disc. Anyway, worth it to me.
LunyTunes - Reggaeton Hits
Not worth what I paid for it, and this was never on even my most expansive list of things to buy eventually.
Adassa - Kamasutra
Iffy, but I really do like a couple tracks on here ("De Tra" especially) and I think I would have been tempted to buy it eventually. Also, I think she's going to be doing better things down the road, so I like having this, for some reason.
Hector Bambino "El Father": Los Rompe Discotekas
Not very good, as expected, but cheap.
Voltio: s/t
Really not too good, though I haven't quite made my way through the whole thing. Aside from a couple tracks I like a lot, there's a lot of mediocrity here.
Xiomara: s/t
Very good romantic dinner music.
Enrique Chia: La Musica de Ernesto Lecuona
Unlistenable because too rooted in the romantic era of classical music for my taste. Lush violins. Yuk.
Not really a triumphant set of purchases. (Then again, when I buy things at full price I often end up with similar results.)

The Longcut - "A Call & Response" (Anthony H. Wilson likes them, new Manchester band, mentioned on Factory mailing list, yowza, better than Marion, that's for sure - I love it)
Negativland - Escape From Noise (I'm going to come out of the closet and admit I never actually owned this one, though why is anyone's guess. That was the first time I ever knew Negativland existed was when this was played on college radio in my town over and over - Time Zones and the little girl singing about the over the rainbow thing, and also Christianity Is Stupid.)
I also got a live video of Chic that has Nile Rodgers (obviously no one can bring Bernard Edwards or Tony the drummer out of their graves) and a couple of really good looking black women are in that. Still I wish it were Sister Sledge, though.
I also bought a DVD of Nik Kershaw videos. I don't know why. I guess I got carried away. It was somewhat interesting, I guess. But man, what was I thinking?

My guess is we're reaching collective tipping point on a lot of this -- elsewhere donut in Seattle suggested that everything will be hoovered up by people looking for Amazon resales more than anything else. Kinda doubt it will be all that complete but we'll see.

soul jazz "new york noise 2"isolee - "western store"losoul - "getting even"dj food - "refried food" 2cdbooka shade - "memento"greg wilson - "credit to the edit"v/a - "soma compilation, vol 3"
a little less cost-effective, this altogether cost me around $40.
at this point nothing left in my local store except soul jazz comps and uber-ridiculously priced imports (single disc comps for $36) which aren't really cost-effective at 60% off. there are signs everywhere which say "10 days left" which makes me think i'll drop back in around the 18th and see what's left.
lemme know if it hits $1 or $2 status for dance or reggae ...

haha, yeah I picked up a pile of those fall cds but ended up putting them all back. The double CDs seem like a good value on the surface but it seems like the 2nd disc is never essential.

Is the Lizzie Borden movie Born In Flames any good?
― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 04:27 (seventeen years ago) link
I got
This Heat box (the store has a second one!)Les Savy Fav 3/5 (long gone in Portland)Judee Sill Heart Food (ditto)Jesu s/t (ditto)Arthur Russell Another ThoughtThe Incredible String Band The Chelsea SessionsMatt Bianco Whose Side Are You On? (I don't think I've seen a copy of this since the eighties)
From this, I deduce that South San Jose is nowhere near as infested with hipsters as Portland, and also that Tower Records centralized ordering process may have contributed somewhat to its downfall.
