I'm streaming it now at wvvy.org, but it sounds better if you download it. You want to have it anyway.

thanks, scott! downloading now

yeah this looks awesome, thanks
I'll have to grab it when I get home from work

Sounds really great, Scott. How are you patching the receiver into your PC?

i'll ask maria what she did. i am the dunce and she is the techie. i was surprised how good it could sound too. imagine if i had an actual stereo instead of a 15 dollar thrift store turntable with an old needle that i keep meaning to replace and a hundred dollar receiver! actually, i kinda like my 15 dollar turntable. i shouldn't make fun of it. but it's not perfect by a long shot.

― scott seward (121212), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 03:06 (seventeen years ago) link

We took the RCA plugs for tape out (the ones that make it possible to record onto tape) out of the back of the receiver, plugged them into a miniplug adapter, then plugged that into the "line in" on the back of the computer. Then we used Audacity to record the entire thing and then exported the project as an mp3. I also have all the individual songs saved as .wav files.

Wow, because of this thread, I got an e-mail from Charley D. Harris of Charley D. & Milo. He wants to send me some stuff. That album that those guys made is so magical. Just amazing playing, great harmonies, and a blissful vibe that can't be beat. Notorious Byrd Brothers fans should not be without it. Great covers of "Pack Up Your Sorrows" and "I'll Keep It With Mine" too. Here's the cover:

"Theme from Big Time" = \m/ (there really needs to be a devil-horns-esque hand sign to denote particularly great disco and/or funk)

Must cop this once at home

― nathan explosion (natepatrin), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

here is what i wrote about "Om Sweet Om" on my blog a while back:

Charley D. And Milo – “Om Sweet Om” – If you mainline The Notorious Byrd Brothers into the vein marked “Precious Cargo” on a thrice-monthly basis cuz dirty feet and sun-kissed domes connect you to your fresh-faced id and remind you that the here is now and possibility is only another word for sofa, then you probably already own the Charley D. And Milo album. It’s next-level growth-chart stuff and reason enough to inhale/exhale your way thru jams traffic and romantic.

and this:

Charley D. And Milo - S/T (Epic) Gentleman pot-farmers unite! This record is a warm breeze of a thing. And again, I must have missed the Mojo that hyped it cuz this is right up their King Parsons/Beechwood Sparks alley. Lovely harmonies, lotsa guitars, acidic baths of twang. Great cover of Richard & Mimi's "Pack Up Your Sorrows". It ends with the weary drug traveller's mantra "Om Sweet Om". Brain-fried C&W fans need this now.

― scott seward (121212), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

"Theme From Big Time" is such a staggering achievement. From a man who knows from achievements! I mean, would it make many people's top ten smokey moments? probably not, but it would be front and center on any list of mine.

― scott seward (121212), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

That twangy flubbery wah-wah is on my Guitar Hero 3 unrealistic wishlist along with John McLaughlin's "Dragon Song" and those instrumental bits from the Repo Man soundtrack

― nathan explosion (natepatrin), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

the production is so deep and dubby too. total pothead disco!

― scott seward (121212), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Is it the short version? Because the LP version clocks in at nine and a half minutes. And I can't find it. :(

― nathan explosion (natepatrin), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

of course it's the long version! i wouldn't have it any other way.

― scott seward (121212), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I grabbed a copy of that Charley D & Milo LP when I saw it, remembering you harping on about it on a few other threads, and that Om Sweet Om track is indeed mana...

― hertz van rental (davidcarp), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

my name...in lights...what did I do to deserve this? I don't know most of that, or any of the other stuff you've posted...you give me way too much credit.

"Theme From Big Time" is such a staggering achievement.

OTM! Amazing!

Hey!!!! What a treat to find this thread on Chalie D. and Milo.
Much appreciation to those who started it. I'm a singer/songwriter too.
I used to hang with them back in the 70's in Costa Mesa, California.
We all sang at a club called Terry's Village.
I really miss that place. Mostly kids singing covers, but a few of us wrote our own tunes and honed our skills at Terry's. I had the fun of going to the LA studio with them when Johnny Rivers recorded they're song, "Moving to the Country".
My band used to cover that tune for years. I know Charlie D. and Milo don't know
about that bc we haven't been in contact for a billion yrs.
Big love & shout out to the C.D. & M fans.

Glenn R. Townsend played lead guitar with them for a while. He has a band in Tulsa. He's a great blues/rock guitarist. Worth a listen.

Hey Charlie D. and Milo, if you read this...love to hear from you.
I still have my original CD & M album from way back then.
Give me a shout and refresh your brain cells on who I am.
I think you knew me as Pamela or Pam Chick...lived with Robin G.
Been a loooong time.
I'd love to connect with some of the Terry's Village musicians, too.

Nice! Great memories, Pamela. It's a treat to hear from someone who was there. Like I said up top, I got an e-mail from Charley because of this thread, so mybe he'll see it. Cheers! And happy holidays!

― scott seward (121212), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 05:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i really like this, scott! i listened to it before i went surfing today and it put me in the perfect mood.

you probably don't care, but a lot of this shares common ground with stuff on ye olde beardo thread.

The Rinder & Lewis track got re-edited on this, and
theme from big time got a fierce re-edit on this.

― grady (grady), Thursday, 28 December 2006 04:59 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm glad you liked it! i like it too. when maria gets back i will do more. all of this stuff will go into the on-line library of tunes for the radio station she is starting here. so, the more the merrier.

i was so obsessed with don fardon's belfast boy for such a long time. i would play it over and over. that acid-house synth in 1970! blows my mind every time.

― scott seward (121212), Thursday, 28 December 2006 05:05 (seventeen years ago) link

apparently you can get both great don fardon albums on one cd and i highly recommend them to anyone into rockin' 60's pop. great arrangements, great songs. i have played my copies a TON over the years.

i was wrong about the smokey robinson re-edit. it's not on the phantom slasher thing. i was thinking of some Bohannon thing.

― grady (grady), Thursday, 28 December 2006 08:24 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah this mix is awesome skot

I think I have that smokey album! will have to pull it out if I can find it, I moved and my stuff is still unalphabetized

― nickn (nickn), Saturday, 30 December 2006 05:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yikes, I don't know. What does that mean? I'll ask Maria.

― Skotrok (Maria :D), Saturday, 30 December 2006 06:12 (seventeen years ago) link

don't worry skot, it just means IE is silly.

― grady (grady), Saturday, 30 December 2006 06:25 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i'm not that savvy when it comes to that stuff. it's just an mp3 uploaded to maria's site. she pays 200 bucks a year to some website company. i forget which one. maybe they are evil??? she has never had a problem before.

― Skotrok (Maria :D), Saturday, 30 December 2006 06:31 (seventeen years ago) link

jeez scott this is amazing. thank you so much

― nervous (nervous), Saturday, 30 December 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

― Skotrok (Maria :D), Saturday, 30 December 2006 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm just reading this now.

one month passes...

hey Scott, will you repost the tracklisting for your "Intensities In 10 Cities" and "Corn Licker Mix" mixes? I have searched the sandbox in vain and am reviving this thread instead.

― sleeve (sleeve), Saturday, 17 February 2007 00:03 (seventeen years ago) link

oh man i got sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many great 60s/70s country singles. and cool soul and pop singles too. gotta mix them up. i'm wondering if people would be into a 60's/70's pop/soul/funk/country mix. or should i keep things seperate? hmmmmm...

― scott seward (121212), Saturday, 17 February 2007 00:34 (seventeen years ago) link
