Fred Cole, at least to me.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like you're handling it well. I don't do a lot of mail order , but , these are all good suggestions. You might ask if Amoeba (Frisco/Berkely / LA) does mail order.

Alison's suggestions are spot on! Dead Beat Mailorder has some great stuff, too. And don't forget Get Hip, Dionysus, and, of course, Bomp!

Yeah, I lost a 25 year collection. Big bummer, but at least I can Build one with no fluff in it... & it is super fun record shopping.  I want to focus more on 7"s this time.

Thanks for the tipsI love goner & Floridas Dying.  I just looked at Mindcure for a minute & WOW!

I love my local shops, but sometimes you just want that one weird thing that nobody stocks.

Cheers to ya.

Sad to lose records, but fun to buy more!

Here are some classic party starters:

Any James Last "Non Stop Dancing" from about 1965 to 1974.

Hmm, how about Bob's Party Time Lounge by Primus? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjla8KEeoPs

Here are some classic party starters:

Lora Logic is great! I really enjoy the band she put together after being booted from Spex...Essential Logic!! I think there was a couple dudes that came after her to play sax in X-Ray Spex but neither could match that coltish self-taught sound she brought to their first album.

 I can't think of that many , besides Mark Lindsay. When The Raiders were still more of a Frat Rock group , he was honkin' his horn a'plenty , and , later on the recited smoocher "Melody For an Unknown Girl.",  already out of date for it's time. I saw Mark in 2001 , and he was wailin' sax on numbers like "You Can't Sit Down" and "Night Train". Of course , The Raiders' "Louie" was more sax - driven , too. I'm not good on names . The Wailers had a couple of great sax players , inc. the guy who played with them in later years , when they stormed the Ponderosa Stomp. He killed !

 

Screamin' Jay played a pretty mean sax , himself , as did Ray Charles. Dave Hill from The Treniers , who's still alive and well , Dave "Bubba" Mitchell , from Milt Trenier's band , also still alive and CRAZY , as he nears his 90th Year , Earl Bostic , Louis Jordan ,  Lonnie Youngblood , The late , great , Sam Butera , Bobby Keyes , of course , Gordon from The Fleshtones , God Rest His Soul , Lora Logic from X- Ray Spex and Red Krayola , and her successor in the first band - Forgot his name - And ,who's the cat from The Pastel Six? I saw him sit in with Sky Saxon and The Seeds , it worked , too ! , Jesse Scinto , who's a younger guy , is keeping the honkin' sax tradition going , but , he does'nt seem to play much , these days....

Not as old as some of the other's mentioned, but I think they are both pushing 70.

Once saw Andre Williams at the Viper Room here in Los Angeles. Lux & Ivy were in the audience and Andre acknowledging them as kindred spirits said "We may not be the same color, but we came from the same pussy"

Great news! I was just on a huge Chrome Cranks kick this week. I can't wait to hear the new one.

I tried to do this earlier, but got it wrong... My apologies.

I really like this song by the Ceiling Stares, released on Velocity of Sound Records as a split 7" with the Supervacations. It made it to 29 in the Styrofoam Drone top 30 7"s of 2011.

Congrats to VSOR & the Ceiling Stares & the Supervacations!
