QUICKSAND
Bring On The Psychics
2026 U.S. Ltd. Edition pressing
Dusk Blue with White Swirl vinyl

Quicksand is back, and all is right(ish) with the world again.

As a lifelong devotee of this amazing band, I could not be happier with Bring On The Psychics.

Walter is still at the top of his game songwriting-wise, the guitars are still dope as hell, and it feels like they’ve found a comfortable groove in their old age.

They’re not looking back at Slip or Manic Compression; still being in the NOW as well as pushing forward, as opposed to trying to replicate those touchstone records.

This is the third album since they’ve reunited, and ALL three have been fucking fantastic.

It’ll be a sad day when Quicksand call it a day for good.

ORBIT
Western Medicine
1997 U.S. PROMO 7” + CD E.P.
White vinyl

Feeling better and starting to turn the corner.
One more day of taking it easy and listening to music.

THIS is one of my prized possessions. It’s not expensive or anything, but being that I’m from #Boston , & Orbit is one of my all-time favorite hometown bands, it’s special to me.

This is a promotional item that circulated before the release of Orbit’s phenomenal album Libido Speedway.

The 7” contains two songs from the album, & the CD has the band’s signature song “Medicine” (also from Libido Speedway), plus FIVE unreleased songs NOT from that record, including a cover of Echo And The Bunnymen’s “Do It Clean”.

Found this about 20 years ago on one of my first visits back to Boston after moving to B.C..

Orbit were a great band that were horribly mishandled by A&M.
What could have been…

Being sick in the summer SUCKS.
I feel like Ape Shit.
Luckily, all you music nerds out there are keeping me entertained, and giving me some cool shit to explore while my body slowly turns itself inside out.

THE REZILLOS
Can't Stand The Rezillos
2023 Australia reissue

An absolute classic from the first wave of British #punk !

It’s fast, energetic, has lots of poppy hooks, and a lot more fun than some of the super-serious political punk that came from the same time.

There’s a fistful of legitimate classics on this, from “Top Of The Pops”, “Flying Saucer Attack”, “I Can’t Stand My Baby”, and a few really high-octane cover tunes that absolutely slay.

Absolutely essential.

SHANGHAI DOG
This Evolution
1985 Canada pressing

For fans of independent Canadian rock from the #80s , this is a bit of a sought after record.
I found it in a thrift store in Chilliwack about a decade ago.

A killer #postpunk #newwave rock record, it’s got a political tone to it, as well as dealing with themes of social unrest and alienation, like any good #punk record should.

The bass lines on this album are killer! Those come courtesy of the great Ron Allan, who along with guitarist Mike Graham, were members of the legendary Vancouver band Subhumans.

This is the only record ever released by Shanghai Dog.
It’s so good, it’s really all you need anyway.

MODEST MOUSE
Good News For People Who Love Bad News
2011 U.S. 2xLP reissue

Such a great album that I revisit SEVERAL times a year.

I have a LOT of memories, both good AND bad, attached to this record. Major life events were scored by these songs over the course of three years, and even the bad ones are looked upon now with a sense of warmth and a little bit of resolve.

I’m not what you would call a diehard Modest Mouse fan. I like a handful of songs scattered over some of their albums, but in all honesty, this is the only record of theirs I’ll ever need or have any real emotional connection to.

Just an incredible record, through and through.

THE WAR ON DRUGS
Slave Ambient
2011 U.S. 2xLP
@ #45rpm

A band I’ve always liked, but I’m still waiting on them to make an album as good as this one from front to back.

Lost In The Dream came close, but there’s some clips or songs on that one, whereas this is pretty much a perfect record start to finish.

“Come To The City” is such a good tune, as is “Baby Missiles”, which is one my band and I have tacked on to the end of our sets when our originals have been exhausted, and we need to stretch it out for a few extra minutes.

Really great record from a very good band. I think at this point in their career, it’ll always be my favorite.

JAMES WHITE AND THE BLACKS
Off-White
1979 Canada pressing

Another great one from the “ #nowave ” pile from yesterday, one of a handful of James Chance-related records.

This takes the music made with The Contortions and reframes it through groovy dance music.
It’s still weird (because everything Chance did had a bit of weirdness to it), just a little more disco. 😂

Punks and art-punks at the time had a universal disdain & hostility for dance music.
Here, Chance gave them something they could get behind. Angular guitars, #avantgarde #jazz rhythms, all mixed over very danceable and hypnotic drums.

It was a very divisive album when it came out, but it’s now recognized as an underground cult classic.

It’s been great to hear all these Chance-related albums again these last few days. They just don’t pop up in my neck of the woods that often.

RYAN ADAMS
1989
2015 U.S. 2xLP pressing

I find it hilarious that the only Taylor Swift album I like is not by Taylor Swift. 😂

Say what you want about Ryan Adams (most people do). Yes, he’s a bit of an asshole and a creep, but the dude is a hell of a songwriter. He’s also always done interesting cover versions of a vast array of songs, from many genres.

So, back in 2015, when I heard he was doing an ALBUM cover of Taylor Swift’s 1989, it was gonna be good.
I knew it would be:
A. way more nuanced and interesting.
B. that it would actually rock

It’s really good, man.
It took an obnoxious over-produced schlocky pop album and added a bunch of #70s and #90s rock to it.
It proved that not all pop music needs to sound like it came off a conveyor belt. It can have personality, it can be interesting, and it can have a little umph and depth.

I still loathe Taylor Swift.

CONTORTIONS
Buy
1979 U.S. pressing

One of the 4 artists that appear on the previously posted No New York compilation, & one of a FEW James Chance-adjacent albums I picked up today.

Chance was a flamboyant saxophonist who was a very integral part of that late #70s /early #80s #nowave /#artrock scene in New York.

He and The Contortions played a very #avantgarde kind of punky #funk music, with flourishes of #jazz as well.

Buy was the original band’s ONLY record, coming a year AFTER that No New York compilation. Shortly after that, Chance became the star, and proceeded to have many different bands and projects over the years, including a “not at all the same” James Chance And The Contortions, which was just Chance and a bunch of other randoms.
None of the post-Buy “Contortions” albums ever did much for me.

THIS album is friggin great, though.
Time and place, man.

JAPAN
Tin Drum
1981 Canada pressing

While I was at my local shop this morning, a gentleman came in to sell about 30 of his records.
I ended up buying ALMOST all of them.

Along with the No New York compilation I posted earlier, it was all made up of #obscure #nowave , #punk , #postpunk , #newwave , #synthpop , and #experimental #artrock from the late #70s and early #80s .

This was one that I was very excited about. I’ve never owned a CLEAN original Tin Drum on vinyl before, and I’m SIKED.

I’m a big fan of Japan (and of David Sylvian) in general, and Tim Drum was the first album by Japan I ever heard.
I was so mystified by it, that I instantly set off on finding others, which lead me to working backwards towards Adolescent Sex, Obscure Alternatives, Quiet Life and Gentlemen Take Polaroids.

“Ghosts” is an incredible tune. It still gives me goosebumps.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
No New York
1978 U.S. pressing

The crown jewel of today’s finds from downtown; a PRISTINE original upgrade copy from my unlistenable beat-to-shit one, and one of the most influential compilations ever.

The NYC “no wave” scene didn’t last long, but Brian Eno was ALL about it, after witnessing some of the bands at an art space in Manhattan.

Eno wanted to record these very out of the box bands for posterity, and opted to do it in a very “live” off-the-cuff manner.

4 bands contributing 4 songs each, it is a pivotal document of what was happening in the late-70s NYC underground.

The Contortions (more on them later), Teenage Jesus And The Jerks, Mars, and D.N.A.; all envelope pushers in the best sense of the phrase.

I’ve been wanting an original CLEAN copy of this for a long time, so today was like Christmas.

Dear Vinyl Ape followers,

Please don’t tell my wife I spent $450.00 on records this morning.

You keep THAT a secret, and I won’t tell YOUR family about that thing YOU did.

You know which thing I’m talking about, too.

We got a deal?
Awesome.

ULTRAVOX
Vienna
1980 Canada pressing

A stone cold classic before I head out and start my Monday.

One of my favorite #80s records that I will never tire of.

I know diehards prefer the earlier #70s Ultravox records, but Vienna is the one for me.

The first one with Midge Ure on it, replacing the departed (he left, he didn’t die) John Foxx.

Full of really great tunes, and one of the defining albums of the early eighties #synthpop genre.

One of my all-time favorite fun and ridiculous facts:
The title track, unquestionably the band’s biggest song, reached #2 on the UK singles chart.

The song that kept it from being #1?

Joe Dolce’s “Shaddap You Face”.
😂

Apparently, good taste was on vacation in 1980.

DEFTONES
Around The Fur
2011 U.S. reissue

More Deftones!

I remember how excited I was when this came out in ‘97. I had just spent a year and a half obsessing over Adrenaline, and was really hoping that Around The Fur would be just as good.
Was it ever.

Not only was it good, it was superior in EVERY way, and took a huge creative leap forward.

It is somehow HEAVIER, but also super atmospheric and dreamy.
It’s more melodic, the guitars are down-tuned and absolutely pummeling, and Chino’s lyrics and voice are emotional and soaring.

This is their first GREAT record, and it would only get better from here, because White Pony was on the horizon.

I still feel like The Deftones are underrated.
They’re huge, and people love em, but I feel it’s not enough.
Incredible band.

THE MUPPETS
The Muppet Movie (Original Soundtrack Recording)
1979 Canada pressing

The Muppets were a pivotal part of my childhood.
From The Muppet Show to the subsequent movies, those characters and songs are tattooed on my heart and soul forever.

Until today, it was the only soundtrack of the initial run of movies (Movie, Caper, Manhattan, Christmas Carol) that I didn’t own on vinyl.

Regardless of how you feel about The Muppets, this is worth owning solely for Paul Williams’ “Rainbow Connection”, just a stunningly beautiful song regardless of how old you are.

An even bigger bonus is that this was a used copy that STILL had the movie poster inside of it. They’re almost always missing.

If I were to ever adopt a child, I’d want it to be Animal.

DEFTONES
Adrenaline
2022 U.S. reissue

From the beginning, I never understood why they got lumped in with all of those inferior shithead “nu metal” bands.

For starters, they were first out the gate, and were around before any of those asshole bands reared their very ugly heads (and music).

Musically, DEFTONES were always a far more interesting and dynamic band. Amongst all those pummeling guitars and pounding drums was always an incredible sense of melody and songcraft.

I was a fan of them right from the start. As a junior in high school, I was instantly obsessed with Adrenaline.
Their very first record, it’s far from their best. It is however, one of my two favorites.

Chino is an incredible front man, and as a live act, they’ve always been just MAMMOTH.

My love for this band will never waiver. And it all started here.

From the beginning, I never understood why they got lumped in with all of those inferior shithead “nu metal” bands.

For starters, they were first out the gate, and were around before any of those asshole bands reared their very ugly heads (and music).

Musically, DEFTONES were always a far more interesting and dynamic band. Amongst all those pummeling guitars and pounding drums was always an incredible sense of melody and songcraft.

I was a fan of them right from the start. As a junior in high school, I was instantly obsessed with Adrenaline.
Their very first record, it’s far from their best. It is however, one of my two favorites.

Chino is an incredible front man, and as a live act, they’ve always been just MAMMOTH.

My love for this band will never waiver. And it all started here.

BEASTIE BOYS
Ill Communication
2009 U.S. 2xLP reissue

Rockin’ some jazzy boom-bap from the fuckin goats.

Check Your Head will always be my favorite Beasties album. It is a flawless magnum opus and in my mind, the greatest #HipHop album ever.

Ill Communication is not far behind. Sometimes, I just need to hear it.
Sure Shot, Sabotage, Root Down, Heart Attack Man… I mean…cmon man.
The Beasties were, still are, and will FOREVER be THE SHIT.

Like Ma Bell, I got the Ill Communication.

JACK MUDURIAN
Downloading The Repertoire
1996 U.S. CD issue

Truly one of the batshit craziest discoveries I’ve had in a long while.

Recorded in the Summer of 1981, Jack Mudurian was an older man who lived at the Duplex Nursing Home in #boston Ma.
He claimed to have a repertoire of 'almost as many songs as Sinatra'.

So, someone recorded him with a cassette recorder on the Duplex porch… UNINTERRUPTED.

Seriously.
UNINTERRUPTED.

For 47 minutes straight, Jack unleashes a truly bizarre stream-of-consciousness hellfire.

It sounds like an unmedicated retiree having the world’s greatest stroke.
It’s incredible.

It’s wild listening to this craziness, with no breaths, & see the numbers on the track counter advance, with no real line of delineation.

Birds are singing, other elders are heard singing in the background…
It’s insane.

This might be the greatest recording of all time.
