National Record Store Day

man i'd be all over those kinks jawns

maybe not in one day, but over a couple years time, sure. shit like that just seems made to go for crazy dollars on e-bay, enrichment of the cockroaches, offers very little to actual fans.

xp

yeah i mean that was biggest gripe from other RSD days is that i was surrounded in line by dudes whose sole intent was to grab ebay fodder. like i went in with a list of 5 records i wanted by bands i loved and was only able to come home with 1.

my strategy has been to show up at my favorite record store because it's not one of the biggest in minneapolis and i have a decent shot at getting some of the big stuff -- like last year i got the television old waldorf thing and the big star thing

then i just go to some other stores after it cool downs and if you have no real agenda and don't want some of the hyped stuff you can pick up great gems like i got the arthur russell thing really late in the day....

Which Arthur Russell?

last 3 years running in the US they've re-released one arthur russel -- love is overtaking me, calling out of context, and world of echo (in that order)....however, the dude that runs the store i go to says he doesn't see World of Arthur Russell on the docket for this year, which seemed like the next logical choice :(

but i snagged all 3 pretty easily

there's also cool shit i saw around weeks after record store day like a rough guide to desert blues, some old blues reissues, really awesome music, but the vultures are pretty much just going for name brand indie/alternative/classic rock stuff

so basically if you just show up at like 3PM after the dust clears with no real agenda you'll find some cool shit

^ definitely. though the more attached you get to what you have to get, the more it hurts.

yeah i was definitely one of the horrible golems clutching my precious when it came to the television and big star things

but see i'm okay with YOU clutching your precious because you probably went home and listened to 'em instead of dumping 'em on eBay immediately

this kinda thing is definitely not for me. but i'm cranky like that. and i kinda hate new "limited edition" reissues in general. they remind me of hologram baseball cards or something. lots of that stuff loses value over time. i also just kinda hate how expensive new records are now. but maybe i'm just jealous that i don't have the disposable income to buy that stuff. and i'm a bargain hunter. i'd rather buy 50 old two dollar records than 4 new reissues.

i wonder how many stores actully lose money on rsd? that shit ain't cheap and there is a ton of it. you gotta be good at picking the hot titles.

Well, at least it brings back album cover art. Here's an upcoming 12" edition of Hey Mercedes' first release:
http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs010/1101587354993/img/1136.jpg

cover art never went away for me. i don't need to bring it back. i'm all for people buying records, obviously. does that thing retail for $29.95?

oh shit yeah as a Braid and Hey Mercedes stan i can appreciate that cover more than the CD one, but i still don't feel compelled to buy that

got a cool 3LP earmark reissue of kinks village green in at the store. there is a whole lotta village green on that thing. out of print, don't you know. sells for like a hundred bucks. or i hope so anyway.

earmark does good vinyl

but see i'm okay with YOU clutching your precious because you probably went home and listened to 'em instead of dumping 'em on eBay immediately

yeah honestly i've never really sold an album! except just clearing out a bunch of crap $1 stuff i bought in the 90s just to be rid of it, but half the time the store wouldn't take them so i took them to the salvation army

http://www.sickchirpse.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/flaming-lips-pic.jpg

Is that the Flaming Lips vinyls?

Just checked the url....hell yes!

Yeah, and most of the xpost is stuff I'd like to check out beyond Record Day anyway, never mind the eBay. Those Battles mixes, Subpop singles, even the Dino Jr mixes, which I've got but haven't gotten to quite yet--back to the office, but maybe I should go see this, on Record Store Day Eve? Also in connection w new releases:

http://www.polyvinylrecords.com/store/index.php?listID=180

Releases have started arriving with us this week...

Guided By Voices white vinyl "John The Croc" 7'' single was the first.

ysi?

(jokes, btw)

really hope i can score the hazlewood comp that's comin out, but generally feel like this right now: i also just kinda hate how expensive new records are now. i wanted to pick up the new julia holter here, i waited for it to arrive & it's £17. like $25 for a new record.

Kinda annoying that there is just enough stuff on the Hazlewood comp that I have not heard (I think) to make it attractive, but most of it looks like it's from Cowboy & Sweden (or was tagged onto the end of that otherwise pretty meh Anne Margret album.)

i figured i'd just play it a lot, like the very special world of lee hazlewood, it sounds like it'll sound nice, yknow

kinda fun! Pretty In Pink and The Breakfast Club on pink and 'dandruff' white vinyl respectively

ooh nice

Yeah, they're really nice, especially when you see the set together.

No way new pressings, esp of double LPs, ltd. ed. or not, are gonna go for 1975 prices. For one thing, there aren't so many pressing plants left. Feistodon looks like a match made in Hell, though haven't heard it. Note all the in-stores listed at end:

Last month, the label mounted its first-ever art show at its iconic Burbank headquarters. The exhibit, entitled Vinyl Revisionists, featured street artists, painters, and graphic designers reinterpreting the covers of their favorite Warner Bros. Records artists' albums. Spanning the rich 50-year musical history of label, it included imaginative interpretations of covers of albums by Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix, Madonna, Frank Zappa, Prince, Van Halen, Roxy Music, The Smiths, and Mastodon, among others. All the pieces are currently for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit Hollywood Arts. To view and purchase the work, visit

looking forward to their version of "we are the world".

"PRETTY IN PINK / THE BREAKFEST CLUB"

someone find out how much these dollar records are going for on RSD.

and someone find out why that Fact listicle is 6 pages long.

would attend BREAKFEST by the way. breakbeats for days!

Every time I see "Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr." I want to punch someone. This is a standard reaction, right?

i think so.

Yes, and it pisses me off to no end to see that they've covered (and most likely destroyed, based on the one other song of theirs I've heard) my favorite Gil Scott-Heron song.

I heard there's a special RSD Grouper 7", she pressed a single copy and buried it somewhere in the vicinity of Portland.

she actually just THOUGHT about making one and you have to steal her brain and put it on ebay!! quick, get her brain!!!

Bizarros are playing my hometown (and theirs) on RSD!! Wish I could be there.

Now I picturing poor Liz Harris walking down the street, being spotted, and a crowd of indie kids shouting "THERE SHE IS! GET HER BRAIN!" and chasing her into a windmill.

I'm playing the Atlanta Mess Around, and I'm sure there will be RSD stuff there all weekend.

Reactionary Records is there in east ATL, right across from the Earl & 529, which are hosting. The Carbonas are playing Saturday night!

Absolute box-ageddon has arrived at the shop today - hundreds upon hundred of records! Drowning in some amazing vinyl!
