Funkmaster Flex & The Ghetto Celebs - Safe Sex, No Freaks single
Featuring Flava Flav. It's always weird for me to think that many people don't know about musical celebrities in the way that I remember them as a kid. To me, Flava Flav was some crazy rapper who wore a clock around his neck--not some burn-out that fell in love with that man from Red Sonja. When I talk about Ozzy, I think about Black Sabbath. I think about him screaming about the dark service, not complaining about cat piss. And in my mind, Axel Rose never looked like a professional wrestler. BUY

Afternoon in Amsterdam - Kalverstraat Barrel Organ Music
Michael Jackson - Thriller single
SIDE 1: Thriller
SIDE 2: Thriller (Instrumental)
Taken from the epic LP "Thriller"
I found this, the full-length of Thriller, Off The Wall, and four full-length "The Jacksons" albums at a Salvy's two weeks after His death. My brother gave me the Jackson 5 debut for my birthday about a year before His passing, too. That will eventually be up here.

Ten Years After - Recorded Live
"This album is a truthful recording of Ten Years After with no overdubs or additives. What you hear is what happened on the night. Recorded over four nights in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Frankfurt and Paris with The Rolling Stones' mobile recording truck and later mixed from sixteen track to stereo at Olympic Studios in London. In answer to the inferior live recordings sold illegally: this is the official Ten Years After bootleg." ME: Hey Dave, you ever heard Ten Years After?
CRAZY DAVE (my neighbor): YEA man! Dude! You know Paul McCartney? Well me and Paul McCartney have the same birthday, except I was born ten years after him--TEN YEARS AFTER! And I can remember the first time I heard the Beatles in my dad's basement, and ten years after THAT was Woodstock! You're too young, you probably didn't go to Woodstock. Neither did I. I was watching this other UK band play their first US show--LED ZEPPELIN. They were fuckin' GROOVY!
blah, blah, blah, this conversation actually lasted about 3 hours.

David Gilmour - About Face
In the masses of Pink Floyd fans, there are two schools: The Gilmour School, and the Waters School. I'd have to say that I have an ongoing matriculation in the Gilmour School. This is Gilmour's second solo album.
When I'm too old to flip records on my own, I just want "Cruise" playing in the background, wherever I go.

Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt special edition
AWESOME tech metal. I saw these guys once with Necrophagist and Cattle Decapitation and they were tighter than I'd anticipated, total D&D nerds, too.
This is a special edition pressing that contains the original 10-song album on one record plus a bonus 7" with three tracks, limited to 1000 copies. One of those tracks can be found on the digital album on iTunes but tracks 12 and 13 are particular to this pressing and after finally hearing them, I've concluded that this was a wise purchase.

ISIS - 03.19.03
This is a live ISIS show recorded in Stockholm, Sweden. I saw one leg of this tour when they played The Hillel at UConn, Storrs. "Carry" was tighter than a Chipotle burrito!
Like with the S&G album, something fucked up happened during the ripping so it's one hour and five track. I'll list the start times of each song. Sorry.
The performance is a little shot so I'm going to include the liner notes that explain the predicament:
"This IS a professional live recording, unlike the previous installment of our live series. It was recorded at our live show in Stockholm, Sweden on March 19th, 2003 for broadcast on Swedish radio. This is certainly not the best set we ever played (there are audible mistakes, two members of the band were sick, we were nervous knowing that the show was being recorded for a radio broadcast), but it is one of the best recorded live sets we have in our possession, and serves as a good document of that particular tour. It is also a special recording for us as it showcases the live collaboration between members of ISIS and 27, who were our touring partners on this particular jaunt. Maria and Ayal joined us on stage every night of that tour, and it was ALWAYS the highlight of the set for us, and something we will always remember with great pleasure. Thanks to the following people for their help with this recording, the show it came from, and the production of this release: Greg Moss, all of 27, Nenne and the rest of the Swedish radio crew, Tim/Switchblade, Mike/TMU, Paul Jeffrey, Nick Zampiello, and Ipecac Recordings. This vinyl edition of this record was pressed in a one time run of 1000 copies, Courtesy of TMU. The CD version was produced as a one time run of 1000 copies by the band itself....."
When I saw this tour, "Maria and Ayal" did not join in on stage. I was pissed that Maria didn't step up for "Weight" because I thought that her voice would have been perfect. Now that I hear this recording, I'm glad she stayed in the background. Not to say that this recording is bad, whatsoever. But it's not something that you would give to someone to get them into ISIS.
i. from sinking [00:00]
ii. glisten [11:11]
iii. carry [18:18]
iv. weight [25:35] so close!
v. the beginning and the end [38:38]
iv. celestial (ext./alt. version)[48:48]
Note: I know as well as you do that there are not two track iv's, but that's exactly how the record is labeled. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that typos are overlooked on stoner metal records.
You're only going to find this one on eBay, so search for it.

Popular Science - Project 3 Quadraphonic Test Record
TO SET UP/ CALIBRATE/ CHECK OUT YOUR QUADRAPHONIC SYSTEM
This record consists of various "pink noise" and pitches of varying frequencies to make sure that each of your channels are working properly. There is also a track that will determine which articles and possessions in your room may be rattling during certain frequencies. This is really rad. Granted, it doesn't fully serve its purpose unless used hard copy in your home but it has some awesome voice samples. And if you've ever wanted to hear pink noise, that's here, too.
I have no idea where to find this online, you can just have mine.
