Morning coffee and this Caretaker record... One of those records you sit and wonder how he did it. I haven't a clue... It's like 1920s music but in an underwater ghost ship and with a floor of echoing 78 record crackles & pops.

@Bez - Evelyn... is very good. I think I will give it another listen here soon.
@texas - I like your description of The Caretaker project. The first album in the new Everywhere At The End Of Time series just arrived at my door:
Mysterious as always, there is no text anywhere except for the name of the cover painting by Ivan Seal. This project by Leyland (James) Kirby has fascinated me since the first album back on V/Vm Test Records in 1999. I followed that label very closely through their run. I should try to find all the albums I have stashed about.
Got my copy of the Music On Vinyl - Lost Highway 2xLP OST Reissue (imagine what it looks like, I'm too lazy to post a photo).
The gatefold packaging is night and day with the bootleg versions. A nice matte and spot varnish cover, and inserts.
Sounds is great for a yellow marbly vinyl.
I ordered this from Juno, and it only cost me $1 more than the Amazon order that I canceled just so I got get the #'d version.
Super stoked on my purchase, i'm gonna try and sell the boot copy at a record fair coming up in dec.
Really well done. Embossed lettering, glossy photo prints, quality pressing. Everything I hoped for. Remember to chuck the PVC sleeve in the garbage...
So happy this was legitimately reissued, I think I sent every soundtrack label a "please please lost highway pretty please" email over the years. My high school soundtrack, I must have listened to the CD a thousand times.
Yellow w black smoke vinyl sounds great BTW no surface noise. First 2000 copies are numbered on color vinyl.

You all ever have stuff in your collection that you forget all about and revisit years later and realize they at some point became heavy pieces?
So once upon a time I bought a few records with Banksy covers, because why not, and I was big into Danger Mouse at the time (he did a Banksy 12" under name DJ DM that sparked the initial interest). I remember thinking "I should track the rest of these down" -- there are a number of them -- then life happened, and I got busy/focused on other stuff. Apparently I should have bought them all, holy shit.
This Queen & Cuntry is a house mix featuring the Freddie Mercury vocal "don't stop me now." one of my favorites to throw on mixing house shit late at night. Apparently someone paid $700+ for a copy, just wild. Had no idea. Guess I need to ban this one from any more drunken late night mixing sessions...

Here's the DJ DM / Danger Mouse Laugh Now EP. Only got these three back in the day (08? 09?), I think they were maybe fifteen bucks a piece. Why didn't 2009 me buy more of them than these three?!? And why would anyone pay these prices, if I'm being honest the Dirty Funker and DJ DM tracks aren't even that good. I guess it's the Banksy covers, either that or Discogs money laundering or price manipulation?? I don't even have my electronic 12" cataloged in my database, guess I need to work on that.

All the more reason to get wallpapered and spin it like there's no tomorrow. Either that or sell it off. No half measures, Tex. Power moves only.
There's a big difference between winging it and seeing what happens. Now let's go see what happens.
this nasty one has been on the platter for the whole weekend and luckily my lady enjoys, too. very nice record, music quality is great and you get sleazy vibes all over the place. comes with nice posters and photos, too...
No idea. I ordered a long while ago and never ever heard of them. No confirmation, no updates at all. Last week the parcel has shown up. It was funny because i totally forgot ordering this.
Deep, deep cuts on this Qbico compilation. Who knows where it all came from. No breaks between the tracks, but I wouldn't call it a mix either...they just kind of hard cut one into the other. Sound quality is quite lacking, but this isn't a surprise given the undoubtedly questionable source audio and unofficial mix tape release. Funky stuff all around.
Album says the cuts are from these movies & pornos:
Erotic Diary of a Lumberjack ("he never slept like a log!")
Merhaba
Around the World with Fanny Hill ("the further adventures of a lady of pleasure")
Get Em Off - 100 Years of Striptease
Ich--Ein Groupie mit Ingrid Street
Thunderfist: Martial Arts Executioner
La Noche de los Brujos
'Westworld was for children...Future world was for teenagers...but... SEX WORLD is definitely for adults!"
Baby Needs A New Pair of Shoes
Fragment of Fear
Good Guys Wear Black
Penitentiary
Penitentiary II
Numbered copy of 99
