For the rap fans - None of this is new, but I've been listening to it again lately and it relates to all the kaiju and Japanese vinyl on these boards. Monsta Island Czars: Escape from Monsta Island Group album including King Geedorah, Jet Jaguar, Rodan, King Cesar, Megalon, Gigan, etc King Geedorah (aka MF Doom): Take Me To Your Leader Jet Jaguar (aka MF Grimm): Digital Tears There's also a Rodan solo album, but I can't find a picture for it cos I can't remember the album name. If anyone is super interested I'll grab it when I get home. Anyway, the only album that really relates musically to the Japanese monster movies is the King Geedorah album. It uses lots of dialog from the movies. It's also the most accessible of the albums - I highly recommend it. I like the others a lot too, but unless you're really into rap you might not dig them (though the Jet Jaguar one might be more accessible than Rodan and MIC). Anyway, just thought I'd post these albums up for anyone interested.
if you know of anywhere I can grab the digital tears cd or the King Geedorah cd PLEASE let me know. Or if you can burn me a copy of each that would be dope aswell.
I'm pretty sure "Digital Tears" is sold out and hasn't had a 2nd pressing. You should be able to get King Geedorah pretty much anywhere - but if you can't seem to find it try www.sandboxautomatic.com. Actually, no, never ever shop there...I forgot that I started boycotting them a couple years back. Ummm, do you live near a Tower Records? They should have King Geedorah. If you have problems locating it let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Haha before you even mentioned it I checked sandbox and I didnt see it. And the only record shop around here would be FYE. I'm shit outa luck boss. Those are two great albums... cant go wrong with MF grimm or MF doom
Weird, I grabbed that pic of KG from sandbox. I'll see what I can do about burning copies of those albums for ya then. Just a warning - don't hold your breath because I'm super bad about getting over to the post office even once I have something packaged up!
Really I wil go back and check again. But I'm SURE they dont have the Grimm cd. Dont sweat it man. I dont want to bother ya. But if you do have any spare time that would be dope
Oh, yeah they don't have the Jet Jaguar album (not even Grimm has it for sale anymore), I thought you were saying you didn't see King Geedorah at Sandbox. Besides, I'd rather hook you up with a copy than have you spend money at Sandbox (eff them!). I'll get you a copy of Jet Jaguar since it's OOP. I'd rather not burn copies of indie albums that are still available like King Geedorah because I'd rather people directly support the musicians. But again, I'd rather make a copy than have you support Sandbox! Anyway, once I get around to making copies I'll PM you for your mailing info...
Thanks man You know I support the artist but sometimes the only way I feel I'm doing this is if I buy dircetly from them. Buying from a secondary retailer I never know where the money is going and the artist only gets the smalest cut. I realy appreciate it and if there is anything you ever need drop me a PM ! O and whats the deal with SBA ?
DOOOD! you guys...i am the rap man!!!!! holler at ionz149 and he'll make sure you are very well taken care of... fuk the industry also peep the first mf grimm cd it is the dopest....i think itscalld the downfall of iblyss or sumthing along those lines...he is like the bestest poetic mc ever and it aint cuz he's in a wheelchair neither
Oh, right...duh! Sorry, brain's fried. Well, I use to order from Sandbox a while back. I had general gripes over their shipping on several orders. One shipment after several weeks they told me it had shipped and then a couple weeks later I FINALLY got it with a shipping lable that had been printed two days prior. But the big thing that made me boycott them was this: I ordered Digital Tears from them. It arrived, I liked it. BUT, there were some flaws in the pressing and two of the tracks skipped. There weren't any visiable scratches, so it was just a flawed press. I emailed SBA and told them what was up and they gave me an authorization to send it back. I sent it back with a description of where the skips occured and asked for a new copy. Several weeks go by and I don't hear anything from them. I email them. They email back and said that they weren't going to send me a new copy because they didn't find any skips and they figured I just didn't like the album so what was the point in sending me a new one! I pointed out that I specifically asked for a new copy and not an exchange so why would they think I didn't like the album. Besides - they've gotta give me something...you can't take back the album and not refund my money. So they eventually refunded my money. But they were serious assholes. I shoulda kept the emails. I actually got Grimm involved - on my last email to Sandbox I CC'd Grimm on the entire email chain. Grimm was cool enough to send me a free copy of Digital Tears, personalized, plus a copy of "Special Herbs and Spices". So Grimm is great and Sandbox can suck it!
yeah i only use sandbox as thew whats new list for shit i wanna DL, as off lately has been pretty bleh...
Amazing story NT !! To be able to get the artist involved is crazy. I bought from them about 4 -5 times never really had any problems but the shipping was a few weeks. I usually just delt with it. And its the reason I havent bought from them again. I must say I give Grimm a lot of respect for doing what he did for ya. Thats where its at.
