Ennio Morricone - "Dietro il Processo" [OST, white vinyl]. This was a pleasant surprise. I didn't see it on the original RSD list. But when I was looking over Amoeba's menu, this morning, there it was.

Thelonious Monk and Gerry Mulligan - "Mulligan Meets Monk" [Limited Mono Edition, 180 gram vinyl]

Sun Ra - "Stray Voltage" [Frosted orange vinyl]

Chrissy Zebby Tembo & Ngozi Family - "I'm Not Made of Iron"

I also decided I'm long-overdue in catching up with my favorite Kims:

Kim Deal - "Nobody Loves You More". I love the front and back cover art.

Kim Gordon - "The Collective" [Limited silver vinyl deluxe edition including bonus 7"]

I saw a video of the Kims recently onstage performing Sonic Youth's "Little Trouble Gir". Very nice to see them together. I think the "Washing Machine" tour was the second time I saw SY. Bikini Kill opened, followed by The Amps: Kim Deal's new project while The Breeders were on hiatus. Kim was chugging beers between songs. I don't recall her joining SY onstage. I'm not even sure SY played "Little Trouble Girl" that night. I would love to see the Kims do a new project together.

The Wire compilation ("Nine Sevens") was on my list but sold out.

My final non-RSD purchase of the day:

"No Age: a compilation of sst instrumental music" - Released in 1987, includes tracks by Black Flag, Gone, Lawndale, Lee Ranaldo, and many others. I've been on an SST tear ever since I read Jim Ruland's very entertaining "Corporate Rock Sucks; The Rise and Fall of SST Records" a few years ago. I've also been enjoying the "You Don't Know Mojack" podcast in which these two Canadian guys discuss the entire SST catalog: One release per episode, starting with the very first Black Flag release. They're hitting everything: studio releases, singles, comps, live stuff, you name it. Now when I go record shopping, I find myself revisiting SST releases I haven't heard in decades or becoming acquainted with the considerable amount of stuff I missed the first time around.

It's another pleasant Saturday on Planet Harold.
