One of Austin's most storied record stores, Sound Exchange, is going out of business. I remember going there with Lurvig and Craven and picking up a New Order poster, while Lurvig hunted for My Bloody Valentine imports. Anyway, since its my last chance to go through their bins and everything is 30% off, I decided to blow my Christmas money on some wax today. Back in the day, Loophole special ordered Pankow's Gisela from Mohawk, so I picked that up. Even if its another Godfathers fiasco, its still worth having their cover of "Warm Leatherette." Here's the rest of my haul, The Ventures Play Telstar (futuristic easy-listening surf-rock I loved as a child), Electronic Sound Constructions by Crescent, Sweet Revenge by John Prine, Close to the Bone by Tom Tom Club, The Jam EP, and Sidelong by Ui. Not a bad haul, six LPs and an EP, for $27.

I actually ripped the Pankow CD the other day. In the process I listened to some of it for what must be the first time since I bought it. It's sort of scary. Warm Leatherette is definitely the best thing about it... and god knows there aren't enough covers of that particular tune.

The process of ripping my entire CD collection has, in the end, been sort of embarrassing. I own a lot of real crap. A;Grumh is another highlight... kind of like Pankow... only worse.

Pankow is good! I'm a little surprised. When reviews called it abrasive, I imagined it would sound like Merzbow with a dance beat, but its some funky German dance music with a touch of evil.

I should mail you all the mp3 CDs I made when I had a portable CD-mp3 device.
