Comments on: Rediscovering old favorites… http://blog.colinashe.net/2008/02/15/rediscovering-old-favorites/ Ruminations from a Ruminator Sun, 28 Aug 2011 00:54:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Colin http://blog.colinashe.net/2008/02/15/rediscovering-old-favorites/#comment-759 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:39:50 +0000 http://imladris.mit.edu/blog/?p=257#comment-759 I stand corrected. “Power Trips Down Lovers’ Lane” can be easily found on eBay. I guess it was hard to find in pre-eBay days.

Plus, they have an offer that gets you 50 free songs (which you can subsequently cancel before they charge you anything). This would enable you to download all of the above full-length albums and a couple of tracks from “The Future of Communications”.

Finding “Power Trips Down Lovers Lane” is really hard. I ended up finding it used in a now-defunct record store in Belfast (Northern Ireland). Albums before that are similarly hard to find and possibly not worth finding. I have “Logorrhea” on cassette, which I ordered from Shrimper back in the 90s. I probably haven’t listened to it since the ’90s. I’ve never seen their earlier, LP-only release.

eMusic also has a bunch of Franklin Bruno, including stuff released in 2000 and later. The only thing that I have that they don’t is “Etudes for Voice and Snackmaster”, which was released on cassette. I think there are a couple of good tracks on it, but I haven’t listened to it in a long time, since we don’t have a cassette player (other than my 4-track) anymore.

I need to find those Franklin Bruno/NPB albums on CD.

Good stuff. I’ve also been listening to Seam and Archers of Loaf a fair amount. 90s indie rock!

like the terminators… like in “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” on fox, which is actually a pretty good show… haha

yesss – i know what you mean 100% about old favorites. yeahhh… good ol’ high school. fantastic. so many things, but food-wise, 99 cent whoppers, 99 cent chalupas at taco bell, long john silver’s in relatively close proximity, gallons and gallons of milk for very low prices… mmmmm…
