record shopping

I did a bit of crate diving yesterday, nothing new* was really earth shattering so I combed the used bins with quite a bit of success (and the help of Keith Kemp who kept handing me stuff I'd never heard of.) I managed to find a few things I was looking for for ages, and the aforementioned surprises.

Two favorites of the haul:

Two Lone Swordsmen - Big Silver Shining Motor Of Sin EP. Sex Beat is the hottest track ever. This is far from new, but so what.


Musicsystem/Electric has an old track by LeCar on it that I also couldn't live without.

Also picked up Felix Da Housecat - Excursions which has and amazing Dot Allision and Bolz Bolz track. Also from the same year, Tube Jerk, Shift which is some of the dirtiest, nastiest electro i've heard in quite a while. (Yes, I know it isn't 2002, but allow me to be entertained by it momentarily.)

Going back 12 years, found a 12" of Bigod 20 - The Bog. Just, well, because more cheese is always necessary.

* and as for new, Nathan was so kind a few weeks ago to set aside for me the three new Interdimensional Transmissions releases. They are all hot, and rather sinister. See a theme? ;) Perspects - Skillset: Parts, Ecomorph - Chromed Out / XXX 12", and I.B.M. - Kill BIl 12". All three are pretty damned incredible, but the Perspects 12" has to be one of my favorite records of the year - dark, brooding but impossible not to move to.

I went in with the idea of getting a few more shoegazeresque treats, but I came out with more evil electro...looks like the other half of DethLab will be playing nice. ;)

The snow is piling up fast. Looks like tonight will be dedicated to playig records and studio work, I think I'm going a whole lot of nowhere.
