I think I say something about Mississipi Records every time I get something from them, but I haven’t been so stoked on a record label in a long time. Mississippi Records really knows how to make me smile. Those five compilations are all field recordings done by Alan Lomax in the south during his folk music explorations for the Library of Congress. There is so much American music history on those LP’s.
Well, this happens when you place a pinhole camera on top of a turntable and expose the film for the length of L America by The Doors. Via.
This seems like something Grantly would like.
I really like this idea.

Albums I wish were on vinyl.
Record I got in the mail today:
Further Seems Forever “The Moon is Down.”
This is one of very few records that I can say is absolutely perfect from beginning to end. There is nothing bad about this album in any way. The cover of this copy is a little beaten up. Has some ring-wear as you can tell. But it’s signed by the band. Chris Carabba signed this. I know that might sound cheesy to most people, but to me, that is overwhelmingly awesome.
Records I got in the mail today.
Jeff Mangum - Live at Jittery Joe’s
Various Artists - I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore
Really excited to have that Jeff Mangum album. I am such a huge Neutral Milk Hotel fan.
Also, of particular note, is the “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore” compilation from Mississippi Records. I have touched on them in previous entries, but I cannot get enough of this label. They put out loads of world music but I am really only interested in their Americana and pre- and post-war blues and folk. This album is a compilation of Americana and blues from 1927-1948. This edition has hand-bound covers. It came with a note:
CONCERNING COVERS
Perhaps a curled corner of veneer
and here naked chipboard
the embossment rubbed flat
side binding rolled
fat beneath the spine strip
and a glue drop dried, shines.
Each jacket comes flat
from stacked pallets
and suspended on a rope line
from ceiling beams
a roll,
and not from Luddites passion
is assembled by hand
and crude jigs
in meditation
and love of music
as object.
Though imperfect-
“Hands to work
hearts to God.”
Whatever you may find
to you.
- the binder
