Puffy Ami Yumi- Nice



Maybe their most perfect album. Produced and cowritten by the former leader of Jellyfish, so there is definitely a psychedelic, Beatles-influenced sound here. Worth checking out if you don't know them already.
This must be the Japanese cover. Mine is a take on the "John and Yoko Bed-in" photo.

Yes, that is the Japanese cover. That version of the album was a little different than what we got here in the US.

$69K for 18 vinyl LPs? Sounds legit.

It's akin to playing the lottery. They're hoping to get lucky and have some rich fool buy it.

I am disappoint. The Foo Fighters don't even fight foos any more.

Do you know I have 7 of those albums already on vinyl - I’m sitting on a goldmine!

I’ve tried doing a Zappa listening series a few times because I enjoy a lot of his stuff, but then I hit an album or two that are just too out there

The Prisoners - A Taste Of Pink (1982)

Your purported goldmine might buy your child two semester credits of two-year community college.

Better get to it, then.

Uh... wait... there's music inside that cover?

Crippled Black Phoenix - 200 Tons Of Bad Luck (2009)

Lynda Kay - Dream My Darling



Modern Los Angeles songstress recreates the Tammy Wynette/Patsy Cline country sound (and hairstyle) of the 1960's. I thought she was going to be a one-record novelty, but apparently she raised enough funds to soon release a second.

Just because the link was in my paste buffer, you could read an interview here, but there's nothing remarkable enough that you should.

Edit: I didn't mean to sound so dismissive of Ms. Kay. She has a beautiful voice, deep but not overly bass-heavy. According to the interview she has a four octave range. Her song "Jack & Coke" from the Justified soundtrack was enough for me to track her down and find out more about her.

The Yardbirds - Ultimate! (2 CDs)

Sister Double Happiness ~ Heart and Mind (1991)



I thought that this would be some sort of twee alternative pop/rock, but it's definitely not. It is blues rock, plain and simple.

Overall, I don't dislike it, which surprises me. By the way, it has none of that stinky teen spirit of 1991, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Marmoset ~ Tea Tornado (2009)

Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver (2011)
