Well it's my birthday today, so yesterday I picked up a couple of records (vinyl...)

Fad Gadget -- Fireside Favorites. Almost didn't get it because one of the guys at the record shop (actually the guy who wrote the piece on the Rochester Jazz Fest I posted earlier in another thread...) tried to make a copy of it while I wasn't looking(!)

And this mysterious 12" by a band called the Thirty which I know nothing about. It came out in '87 on some label called "Exposed Brain". But only the A side is really good (marginally so) -- pretty much typical late-80 psych but seems more like an attempt to catch a major label's attention. Well it sounds vaguely like Brian Jonestown Massacre actually. The three tracks on the flipside are really nothing special and quite dull to say the least... Tried looking up the band on Google but only got some crummy pretty-boy alterna-rock band with the same name who I'll bet make the band on the 12" sound like 13th Floor Elevators in comparison...
