@GraemeE Cool! They are awesome and very nice guys.

The bassist also plays with Chris Forsyth and the Solar Motel Band: https://chrisforsyth1.bandcamp.com/album/intensity-ghost

@popvulture I don't know Karate at all but I saw Numero's reissues and they're on the list of things to look into.

[popvulture]

@setandsetting oh man you're in for a treat. The Bed is in the Ocean is my personal fave. I'd say they began in that sort of Unwound zone, but the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist is also very into jazz, so the records took on this almost indie/post-punk-meets-Steely-Dan sort of character. It's fantastic.

Dunno, Steely Dan are very polarizing and I know that sort of description can be an immediate turn-off for some, but they're one of my very favorite bands, so what can I say... Karate exist in a very cool cross-section of my tastes.

[setandsetting]

Unwound meets Steely Dan? I could be really down with this.

[GraemeE]

I dug out this one out from the recesses of my shelves

Fun (albeit silly at times)compilation from 2000 I haven't listened to in quite some time

[SKT]

@GraemeE cover art is fantastic

[popvulture]

Man that’s an awesome looking comp, hadn’t seen it before. That takes me back to such a specific era that I’m SO fond of, sorta around my college years (gasp… turn of the century).

Also love to see the old stuff on there — Jean Jacques Perry and Dick Hyman both rule.

Edit AAAAH GRAND ROYAL. This is making so much sense. Shit I miss that label.

@popvulture I think the world (the 6 or so people that follow this thread) needs to see some of the deeper cuts in your stash

[popvulture]

Haha cool I've got a few — I'll start taking more pics as I throw stuff on. The collection's pretty all over the place, but definitely in line with a lotta tastes of said 6 or so peeps

Bought the blues boxset just because of lightning hopkins .

[GraemeE]

@steelydan you've been on a roll with your weekend buys

I'm curious as to what part of the world you are doing your shopping in
