<br>That first Nuns LP is classic. They're still going, relocated to NYC and doing S&M techno stuff. Jennifer Miro still looks pretty good for being a 40+ dominetrix!

Just checked their website. Can't say much for their music these days, but I'm glad they're apparently doing ok. 40+ dominatrix? What's not to like??[;)]

Some of these are more common than others, but they were all just one dollar each. I bought an overpriced John Oswald CD in celebration. [|)]

Just grabbed a Scandinavian power pop band called The Radio. I know nothing about them, but the record is pretty cool. From 1981...

by **bpdp3** » Wed Oct 13, 2004 10:29 am

I've been out of the picture for a couple weeks, money too tight to mention in the bpdp3 household lately...

Some very cool titles listed recently. When someone mentions a group I'm unfamiliar with I always try to seek it out - - -

Got the following in the last few days:

Blue Aeroplanes - 'Action Painting' ep
Jules and the Polar Bears - fenetiks
Virginia Astley - Hope in a Darkened Heart (David Sylvain on one cut)
Bonnie Hayes w/ the Wild Combo - Good Clean fun (poppy '82 new wave)
Billy Karloff and the Extremes - Let your fingers do the talking
Joe King Cararasco & the Crowns - self titled w/ 'Buena'
Brian Beverly - Eleven it Ends (sort of a 'fringe' new wave release, like Shaky Stevens maybe)
The Box - Secrets Out (kinda noisy postpunk w/sax - I like it)
Elton Motello - Pop Art

Just nabbed "The Bridge" by Thomas Leer and Robert Rental off of ebay for $20. I've been looking for this for quite a while, and it was well worth the wait.

by **Marilyn** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 3:55 pm

I got these a few weeks ago

ABC - The Lexicon Of Love
The Monroes - The Monroes
Q-Feel - Q-Feel
Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Flaunt It
Romeo Void - Never Say Never 12"
Endgames - Building Beauty

by **Ollie Stench** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 1:48 am

Ravers - Punk Rock Christmas
DOA - Don't Turn Yer Back On Desperate Times
The Bags - Disco's Dead 7"
D.A.F. - some 7" with german titles

by **bpdp3** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 11:28 am

Birdsongs of the Mesezoic - Beat of the Mesezoic (haven't had a chance to hear this one yet)

Frankie Eldorado - self titled (found in a $1 bin; if you saw the cover of this one you'd pick it up too - smacks of 1980 new wave)

Great Buildings self titled

The Nits - 'Tent' and 'New Flat'

Modern Eon - Fiction Tales

And while not vinyl, I grabbed some old issues of NY Rocker circa '78 to '81. It's newspaper, and they're yellowing, but otherwise in pretty good condition. To me, it's worth it just to look at the ads if nothing else. I'd read ABOUT this mag before but this was the 1st time I'd actually seen copies.

Got a few things I've been after for years recently;

Survival Dance Report (Compilation)
Our Daughters Wedding - Digital Cowboy 12"
Thirteen At Midnight - Climb Down
Faith Global - Earth Report
Tik & Tok - (Summer In the City, Cool Running, Everything Will Change, Higher Ground)
Fingerprintz - The Very Dab & Beat Noir
Trevor Herion - Beauty Life
Patrick D Martin - Computer Datin'
The Waltones - Deepest

Financed by selling other stuff now available on CD on Ebay!! (Or so I tell the wife)

Ollie - -

I came across a copy of 'The Bridge' in my local used vinyl haunt and picked it up on your recommendation - - it really IS an interesting, inventive record (especially for the date - '79). 'Day Breaks, Night Heals' is @*&^ing unbelievably great.

by **edisonoside** » Wed Nov 03, 2004 10:28 pm

SWANS-LOVE WILL TEAR US APART
THE TIME LORDS-Doctorin' the Tardis
PORTION CONTROL-PSYCHO-BOD SAVES THE WORLD
CABARET VOLTAIRE-MICRO-PHONIES
LAID BACK-WHITE HORSE
FRANK TOVEY-Snakes & Ladders
1000 HOMO DJS-APATHY/BETTER WAYS
M.E.S.H.-Meet every situation head on

by **Ollie Stench** » Thu Nov 04, 2004 12:12 pm

Hey! I just found the Laid Back 12" as well... maybe there were a bunch found in a warehouse...?
--------------
bpdp3: Glad you thought The Bridge was a worthwhile investment, and I hope it was less than the $20 I paid (which is still a great deal)

Maybe it's just the record geek in me, but this is my favorite thread. I really enjoy buying records vicariously through all of you!!!
