:ZOVIET*FRANCE
7.10.12
Of course I missed out on the new :ZOVIET*FRANCE triple treat from alt.vinyl. Dammit! Consisting of a 7″, 10″, and 12″ (sound familiar) in a lovely boxed set, I am kicking myself for not getting on this list. Dammit!
Milford Graves + Don Pullen
In Concert at Yale University
This ever elusive album has just come up on eBay. My guess is it’ll sell for hundreds. Super-limited private press hand-painted edition.

No, I don’t have one and neither does Thurston Moore (but if I was him I would).
Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO
Son Of A Bitches Brew
Even though I’ve only listened to a few pieces of a few tracks (and they sound bitchin’) from this double LP I needed to have it. Needed to have it. Just released by Important Records, today. I have a feeling it is an important record (I could very well be wrong).
Comes in black, salmon, blue or both-colored vinyl for $20.

Many years ago I was in a local hi-fi shop looking to buy a used Rega Planet CD player (I don’t remember exactly how long ago this was but a) there was a local hi-fi shop and, b) I was looking to buy a CD player). While discussing the pros and cons of the Rega with the owner who I’m sure was humoring me since I was the only one there, a smartly dressed fellow walked in and announced, “I’m Dr. So-and-So. Dr. So-and-So from Bernardsville said you were the man to talk to about home theater.” Which was mostly fine except that he’d interrupted us, did not excuse himself for doing so, and failed to acknowledge that another customer’s presence mattered. Judging from his tailored khakis, form-fitting polo shirt with upturned collar (starched?), what I can only guess were Italian loafers, and a watch I could have driven home, Dr. So-and-So was used to acting like a pompous ass without a hint of recourse.
Psychic TV
The Magickal Mystery D Tour E.P .
“Good Vibrations” & “Hex Sex (Voodoo Mix)” / “Roman P. (Fireball Mix)” & “Interzone”
O the places you’ll go. And when you don’t go anywhere for one reason or another but want to feel as if you did, what better form of transportation than a Magickal Mystery D Tour? What can you say about Psychic TV covering the Beach Boys? Surprisingly straight yet twisted just enough and just what the good doctor/tour guide ordered late last night. Originally released in 1986 on Temple Records and dedicated to Brion Gysin.
Holes. We all have ‘em and they are at times inexplicable. Damn near dumbfounding. Why I have not owned this record until now (more or less) is unfathomable beyond the fact that it never presented itself to me.
Coming to the USA tomorrow, Google’s tribute to Robert Moog on what would have been his 78th birthday. Play it now in Japan. (its really fun and you can record and share).

My favorite beautifully-made workwear maker also has a blog called New York New York where he features mainly photos of cocktails . Like this one. I think they’re dreamy. Cheers.
Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Glass Pint Beer Glass
Set of 6 ($17.99 on Amazon)
In my search for the perfect pint glass, I came across the Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Glass Pint Beer Glass. The 20.3 oz., 6.2″H, 3.5″W shapely crystal is lead-free (stronger than lead-versions according to Schott Zwiesel and dishwasher safe) and based on other prices around the web I think this Set of 6 for $17.99 deal may be in error since every other site I’ve seen lists this as being closer to the per glass price or a set of 6 for $80+. So get ‘em for $3 while you can (fyi – Dale’s Pale Ale tastes marvelous swirled sipped and gulped out of ‘em).
