National Record Store Day

If anyone in the UK has a Flaming Lips they want to flip without the hassle of eBay or whatever, I'll take 'er...

xxpost I'm not sure. This includes a 23 minute bonus track, not dissimilar to the Kapputt vinyl.x

Sleeve, I tried DustyGroove for the 'Eight Trails' lp but they actually did sell out of them! bummer. I am trying Cory direct right now...

no worries if u can't find one. thanks for looking!

$50 on ebay, fuck that.

daaammn. we sold all our copies of the 8 trails record too, otherwise i'd hit you with one. willl keep my eyes peeled in case i see one somewhere else

thanks guys!

If anyone sees the Circle 'Manner' LP on either 'red eye' or 'eyeball' coloured vinyl, as opposed to the black, then I would gladly give them a very good home. Thanks!

went back out looking for the circle thing today. no such luck. bought another cleaners from venus album.

Q: does the cleaners box come w extra music or a book or something? i ask cuz i spent $25 on the first two albums, 3 of the 4 LPs worth. box costs 60 bones!

btw hydra head has a list of stores that carried their releases, so i went to one of those stores.

Wanted to get the F Lips LP but my local store was out by the time I got there. Just heard a few tracks and was bummed to hear that it sounds
a bit distorted/over modulated the same way that "Embryonic"'sounded. Glad in retrospect
that I didn't drop 40.00 on it.

cuz i spent $25 on the first two albums

err, make that $35. prices were fair, but not that fair.

Was going to say... between that and the Unrest set everyone here is giving me a little buyers remorse. If you're saying the 3 Cleaners LPs were $52.00 all together if bought individually than I guess I spent $14 on a pin, a photo, and an outer box.

Because I think it was $66 with tax

yeah, it doesn't seem like a bargain. otoh, it'll almost certainly appreciate in value more than the LPs or the CD box, which aren't limited editions

is that Circle going to get any other kind of release?

This dude from Jackass came into our store

I got the only thing I really wanted for RSD (well, except the Medicine box), the Tangerine Dream "Alpha Centauri" 7". Pretty happy!

That's the guy who shits himself all the time.

Yeah. He was a nice dude, though, and lives in the area. And the cup is now in our permanent collection.

Not sure jon - I wouldn't necessarily expect so, at least not in the immediate future.

jfc that blog you link to there

black musicians don't use record stores, instead releasing their music in the form of mixtapes, therefore anyone still buying music in physical formats is racist

Yeah, there's some BIG assumptions and not much evidence in there...

Not sure jon - I wouldn't necessarily expect so, at least not in the immediate future.

Didn't think so. Very disappointing. I mean, keep the vinyl as an exclusive thing, but I'd love a digital release or something. This is why I get frustrated by limited releases of brand new music that is solely available on RSD, here I am a willing customer wanting to throw money at you, but I can't.

Did anyone get the Mynah Birds 7" BTW? They had a RSD special from the "Mynabirds" on Saddle Creek, which I'm guessing is something completely different.

ordered mynah birds, did not get :( one of things i was most bummed not to get.

St. Vincent 7", what up?

Guess that little pseudonymous Oneohtrix Point Never record flew under the radar as well.

i bought the orig of that unrest box like 6mo ago for $40 :-|

the dead LP and destroyer and nobunny are vvg otherwise whatever i have junta on CCD

lol CCD

We had one of that Spectrist, but my boss thought it was the Chuck Prophet record (which we then managed to miss, ironically)...

Wait, there was a Chuck Prophet record too? Okay, that's pretty funny.

I'm a sucker for the lock groove. No way I could have made it into any shop over the weekend due to work, so I fess up to sourcing my copy on the net. I don't feel any guilt whatsoever tho, since - for reasons probably already mentioned in this thread which I've not read entirely - someone's record store made the sale initially, and I personally celebrate record store day about 30 times annually.

cool spin article where they find links to listen to a bunch of stuff online:

including the flaming lips thing

http://www.redscrollrecords.com/

you can mailorder a lot of RSD leftovers from these guys, including that 8 trails one path record.

Those guys are great dudes.

i never stop in connecticut, it is just a drive-thru state for me. i guess maybe i should.

Yeah their store is in a pretty random seeming suburb, though relatively close to New Haven. They have a pretty nice selection usually. I last saw them with a table at Novembers WFMU record fair. I was helping Todd (booker for Maxwell's and Bell House in Brooklyn) with his table.

isn't mad mike's still around?

sleeve, I got you the 'Eight Trails' lp (hopefully you didn't already get it elsewhere!), will drop you a line about trading for the Dead thing

i got some extra buck owens coloring books if anyone's innerested

Stormy you rule!!! xp

yeah get in touch with me soon, most excellent.

Stormy, sent you an email through here but haven't figured out where i'd receive a reply yet. haven't done correspondance through the site before...anyway, i'm eager to pay you for picking up the Lee Perry for me. send me an invoice on paypal (b g e o g h a g a n) at hotmail or let me know how you want payment. thanks!

hey bld, I did send you an email on monday, to:

b-g-e-o-g-h-a-g-✧✧✧@h-o-t-m-a-✧✧✧.✧-o-m

sent from my gmail account. Weird that you didn't receive it -- maybe in your spam folder?? I didn't see the email you sent through ILX until now, because it is linked to an account I don't use as often. But I'll email through ILX as well

found a copy of the circle album this afternoon. black vinyl. haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but i did spin "here come the warm jets" four times really, really loud.

My loot:

I love that Buck Owens coloring book most of all.

From Paste newsletter piece (by Taylor Kane) on National Record Store Day x Black Friday releases/specials:

The Rolling Stones are set to release their first EP on 7”, which will include “Bye Bye Johnny,” “Money,” “You’d Better Move On” and “Poison Ivy (version 2).” My Morning Jacket is set to release the It Makes No Difference live recording on 10”, which was recorded at the Newport Folk Festival Tribute to Levon Helm. The recording features Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes. The White Stripes are set to release three singles including “Hotel Yorba (Live at Hotel Yorba)” b/w “Rated X”, which is set to be pressed on opaque red vinyl. “Rated X” is a cover of a 1972 Loretta Lynn song. The Lumineers are releasing a 10” EP titled The Winter, which will follow up the band’s debut.

“Five years ago when Record Store Day helped, and guided, the re-launch of vinyl we had no idea where it was going. Looking at this year’s wonderful vinyl offerings, youcan see just how far we’ve come. There are some real treasures in here,” said Michael Kurtz, co-founder and organizer of Record Store Day.

The event expects to announce more releases as the event gets closer, so keep checking back for more details. Black Friday falls on Nov. 23 of this year.

Legendary Japanese trio Boris announce a limited edition split 7" with recent tour mates Asobi Seksu available as a Record Store Day exclusive release on Black Friday, November 23, 2012. Additionally, Boris post new headlining tour dates in the UK and EU, as well as appearances at All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK and State-X New Forms Festival in Holland. See dates below.

The forthcoming split single features each band covering a song by the other. Asobi Seksu takes on Boris' majestic "Farewell" off of their Pink album, while Boris reworks "New Years" from Asobi Seksu's Citrus album here as "Neu Years", a churning dream pop gem. The vinyl edition includes a download card with 4 additional classic songs from both bands.

Iconoclast trio Boris are widely known for their ability to breach styles and stretch sonic boundaries of all that is heavy, psychedelic, droning and downright cathartic. Their last three albums -- Attention Please, Heavy Rocks and New Album, all released in 2011 via Sargent House -- are perfect testament to the band's vast abilities. Over the span of two decades, the trio, bassist/vocalist Takeshi, guitarist/vocalist Wata and drummer/vocalist Atsuo has issued nearly 20 studio albums, as well as numerous collaborative albums -- including projects with Merzbow, Sunn0))), Ian Astbury and Michio Kurihara of Ghost (who also currently tours with the band as second guitarist) -- EPs and singles on various labels throughout the world.

American dream pop band Asobi Seksu is widely known for their shoegaze influenced effect-laden sound. Since their beginning in 2001, the band led by vocalist/keyboardist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist/vocalist James Hanna has released four albums and various singles. Their most recent album, Fluorescence (Polyvinyl) hit shelves on Valentine's Day 2011 to much critical acclaim. Asobi Seksu toured supporting Boris in the fall of that year, cementing the friendship between the two bands leading up to this endeavor of mutual admiration covering each others' songs.
