I need to downsize a bit. I doubt I'll get much for any of these in trade-in which is the main reason they've stayed in my collection for so long. Still, I need more room and if collectively they buy one or two cds that I'll actually listen to its worth it.

Anything that I should think twice about:

Pedro the Lion "Achille's Heel"
Pietasters "Turbo"
Van Dyke Parks "Tokyo Rose"
Love Spit Love "Trysome Eatone"
Lemonheads "Lovey"
Kent "Isola"
King Apparatus "Marbles"
King Apparatus S/T
Jasmine Minks "Popartglory"
The Incredible Moses Leroy "Growing Up Clean In America"
Jaguares "Cuando La Sangre Galopa"
Ikara Colt "Chat & Business"
Hum "You'd Prefer An Astronaut"
Hum "Downward is Heaven"
The Wes Hollywood Show "The Girls Are Never Ending"
The High Llamas "Gideon Gaye"
The Grip Weeds "Summer of a Thousand Years"
The Gourds "Dem's Good Beeble"
The Glands S/T
Jimmie Dale Gilmore "Braver New World"
The Freewheelers "Waitin' For George"
Roddy Frame "Surf"
Flop "Whenever You're Ready"
Elevator to Hell "Parts 1-3"
Dig "Radioactive"
The Drowners "Is There Something On Your Mind?"
Karen Dalton "It's Hard to Tell Who's Going To Love You the Best"
The Cunninghams "Zeroed Out"
Crowded House "Together Alone"
Cosmic Rough Riders "Too CLose To See Far"
The Caufields "L"
Arnold "Bahama"
Arnold "Hillside"
Astrid "Strange Weather Lately"
Arlo "Stab the Unstoppable Hero"
Arlo "Up High in the Night"
Akaline Trio "Godamnit"

I still maintain that 'One Note' is the greatest three minutes of this decade.

I'd also keep the 'Together Alone'.

Surprised to see that in the list. That's the one that Jon Brion produced or had some major involvement in, isn't it? I've yet to hear it - I take it that it isn't so good?

As for the rest of the list - sell 'em, trade 'em, toss 'em.

He didn't produce it but he contributes some guitar and bass on it which is what motivated me to buy it. Its not bad, but merely decent. As much as I like country, I listen to it a lot less than other genres and don't really feel the need to own country albums that are merely decent.

I have a bunch of country albums (Roy Acuff for example) that I think are great but never listen to so I find it hard to think I'd ever feel the compulsion to listen to it again.

I wouldn't part with Gideon Gaye.

But I like that kind of wussypuss indie pop blathering.

Lovey would be worth keeping if it were an orginal pressing of the vinyl. Though Hate Your Friends and Lick have cooler album covers.

Yeah, if ya ask a big enough crowd of people you'll hear arguments to keep em all :)

I love that Glands album. Kind of a minor classic to me. But if you aren't too endeared with that Pavement type of indie rock mixed up with a bit of Kinks charm, well, not much point to it. I know there are at least a couple other big fans of it around here. Woulda loved if they coulda found a way to follow it up after their label folded and all that.

I still think Hum's "Astronaut" is a good record.

We should start a swap thread. I'd trade something good for some of these.

We had a Gripweeds kicking around Rutgers in the late 80's. Is this the same band?

It seems likely:

The Grip Weeds were formed in New Brunswick, NJ, in the late '80s, when Reil and his brother, singer/guitarist Rick Reil, joined forces with guitarist/singer Kristin Pinell and bassist Michael Nattboy. After playing the East Coast club scene for a few years, the Grip Weeds recorded an EP titled See You Through for Ground Up in 1992. Their first full-length album, House of Vibes, came out on Ground Up in 1994 and was followed by 1998's The Sound Is in You on the Buy or Die label. 2001 saw the release of Summer of a Thousand Years on the Rainbow Quartz label, followed by the reissue of The Sound Is in You with bonus tracks in 2003. In 2004, the band released their fourth full-length, Giant on the Beach, again with Rainbow Quartz.

I loved the song "Locked Out" off this album, though I haven't heard it in years. Never heard the full record.

A great album, one I'll stand up for and say that Billy G must keep! It's the only Crowded House album that I like as an album, rather than liking for a number of good singles. "Private Universe" is particularly strong, as well as "Fingers of Love." Keep it, Billy, keep it.

I really liked their soul-influenced ska music (which was popular at the height of the third-wave ska revival). At some point, though, the "soul" part of the music just took over, and their songs started to sound really over-produced. The end results were watered-down attempts at pop music that sounded nothing like the tracks that once made me dance.

i can agree with that....at the time it seemed like every ska band was trying to do that one way or another.....trying to be less ska more rock, or soul, or whatever.
