Brother can ya spare Thirsty $40?

(Walkie maybe checking the couch for loose bills as well)
 
 I remember hearing this when it first came out, and not really digging it. I'd like to hear again to see how it comes of after 25+ years.  Might even have taped, which of course will never be found in my unorganized archives.  
 
 (from Spin 4/04)
 
 Various Artists, No New York(Cut Out)  By 1978, punk was old news, imported from New York by Brits who sold it back to American mallrats at a serious markup.  So what's a self-respecting Manhattan punk to do?  Up the ante by making the most aggressively dissonant, angular racket possible.  Produced by easy-listening theorist Brian Eno, this long-out-of-print set convenes slash funkers James Chance & The Contortions, the howlingly menstrual Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Sonic Youth predecessors MARS, and weird-groove architects DNA.  Yeah Yeah Yeahs fans will see their heroes' undyed roots here.  But the Japanese-import price (roughly $40) means you should split the cost with some friends.
 
 
 Another collection "Mutant Disco" from Ze records has been released w/ James White, Was (Not Was).  Ze records has resurfaced in France.

Nice heads up Kosmo.  I consider myself lucky to own a copy of No New York on vinyl.  I believe it's on a Japanese label.  Don't think it's original pressing, but it's definitely worth it.  It was still in the wrapper.  Bought it about 8 years ago at Vinyl Ink in Silver Spring for about 20 bucks.
 
 But hey, if anyone wants to spare me 40 bucks anyways...

great record...I just found a vinyl copy (of the original pressing!) in Toronto last week, and snatched it up for 40 bucks...that's about 30 of your American dollars.
 
 which reminds me...I found it in an AMAZING used record store on Augusta Ave in Kensington Market...the guy who runs the place pretty much buys nothing but good stuff, and all in VG to mint condition.  Right now he's got an original, mono, first pressing of "Their Satanic Majesty's Request" in mint condition with the limited 3D cover art and inserts...anybody have $75?

Walkie, is that the same place that has all of those good instores? (I forgot the name of the place.)
 
 If so, bring him back home the next time you are up there. Tell him you can get all of the "cool" hipster Indie rockers in the area shopping at his inflated rent store. Wouldn't be hard to do with Revolution Records now being about the only competition in town.
