Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

@SKT there’s a good chance you’re well aware of it, but have you heard Loose Fur? Tweedy’s side project with Jim O’Rourke and Glenn Kotche. Their first record’s sort of a precursor to YHF — some sketch elements of the latter’s songs show up on it. I love the second one though, really sort of a precursor to Sky Blue Sky, but a little scuzzier in places and O’Rourke brings this cool sort of Nilsson/Bacharach-y balladeer element to it. Crazy good.

Couldn’t resist

@popvulture I’ve known of Loose Fur but never taken the time to listen. Will remedy that…sounds totally interesting

@SKT the time for you to partake has come

That born again album @popvulture has is probably my favorite

Edit: if you make it that far next step on your stations of the cross journey should be O'rourkes 2 solo records around that time that kotche and tweedy (he was only on one i think ) played on

[popvulture]

So good. I feel like O’Rourke is totally a latter day John Cale, with that same sweet spot of amazing chamber pop amidst the overall avant-ness. I’m gonna put on Eureka next.

The artwork though.....

Hahaha it’s so excellent

Now something completely different from some neighbors in the O section…

Continuing the 90s Brit guitar god theme with this truly bizarre bootleg pressing. I have no idea what I’d call this color — “Squeeze of the Bar Rag?” Maybe “Vomit Au Lait?” Reminds me of being 8 and throwing everything in the blender.

You guys challenged me with the pedigree analysis round Wilco. Tried to follow!
When seeing there is a cross connection to ‚Tortoise‘, I love since following this thread, there was some relief. Great work!!

With OCS and Stone Roses I am back on track .

[GraemeE]

The Chicago connection
Love this Tortoise album.

Trying to track this down for a few months now @GraemeE
Had two copies in my hand, but in poor condition…

[J-IV]

Three Blind Mice could be considered one of the great Japanese jazz labels. I haven’t heard a bad one from them yet @GraemeE
