and you don't have to flip the misfits. you are allowed to keep it. but misfits fans live for limited misfits stuff. so i imagine the price will just rise.

scott seward, Saturday, 21 April 2012 17:36 (twelve years ago) link

well i already have that album in some form so yeah i guess i'll flip it. maybe i'll wait a few weeks or months?

btw i posted that buck owens thing on eBay just to see what would happen (i assumed nobody would care) but, uh, i sold it in 30 minutes for 4x what i paid for it. i'm gonna go get me some more of those.

i feel guilty typing this, but what the hell. i spent several 1,000x what the average person spends on records, so i've done my part to keep this particular economic niche going.

ok my plan has been formed. ready to go. am more interested in free shows than elbowing past greedy patrons, so my plan reflects that.

ha. i'm lucky there are only two record stores around here worth half a damn, otherwise i'd be jetting all over the place.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 21 April 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link

I'm heading out myself right now. It's funny, in years past, I actually did get up early enough on my Saturday morning to get to my closest record store (which is three blocks away from me) right around the open. This year I couldn't really be bothered. But honestly the only things I am really that excited about are the Lee Hazlewood and Greatful Dead lps. And at least in the case of the Lee, I am sure that thing is going to be around forever, so no real rush.

La Lech, what is your plan? I'm going to my local store -- Record Breakers -- right now, then over the Numero Group pop-up. Then I'm going to try to catch the first part of Otis Clay @ Dusty and then run over to Bloodiest at Reckless

Stormy Davis, Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

yeah the lee hazlewood thing isn't a RSD exclusive. otherwise i might have grabbed that. i'll probably get it when it comes out on CD.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link

I'm going to Permanent to see if they still have Circle release (if so, great, if not w/e I am at a record store), then Saki for Runnies at 8, then CAVE at EB. Modest. Would love to see Bloodiest -- I missed them last night because this weekend could have yielded 4 nights in a row of shows I want to see and that's, I dunno, a bit much. I'll show (1) ounce of restraint.

two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago) link

Also I live far far far north side so only one trip to RSD land per day makes sense.

two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:16 (twelve years ago) link

you could always go to 2nd hand tunes in evanston -- i bet they still have a lot of stuff that has sold out elsewhere.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:19 (twelve years ago) link

Good idea! Maybe I will.

two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:22 (twelve years ago) link

and don't forget laurie's planet of sound...

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link

I might try to hit Cave later on, cuz i love them. but will see how my stamina is at that point. I mean I'd probably come home to the south side in the evening, and then have to come back up to the Bottle. Which kind of sucks. but we'll see.

I think my all-time records for shows in a row was something like 7 days! a year or two ago, I'd have to go back in my google calendar to check. but I remember that being one of the best, if most tiring, weeks of my life!

Stormy Davis, Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link

why did i buy this Devo live lp?

nerve_pylon, Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:30 (twelve years ago) link

oh and i guess the one other RSD thing i want to snag and forgot to mention is that Mynah Birds 7"..

Stormy Davis, Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link

I got the Pussy Galore single and the Lee Hazelwood, bought an extra Lee for my friend who had to work today.

was looking for the School Of Seven Bells and the Kate Bush but they are long gone or were never here.

still a Lee Perry for $30 sitting around if anyone is desperate for it, I'll try to check back here.

I also bought the new Dirty Three album and some great used stuff (Unrest, Severed Heads, Bogshed, Black Uhuru upgrade),

Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Saturday, 21 April 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link

Yes. I want the lee perry. Waited an hour and missed out a my local.

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 21 April 2012 19:35 (twelve years ago) link

Will gladly pay extra for it plus shipping. A+++ buyer :) / 100% positive rating on discogs etc. want the Keith Hudson too.

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 21 April 2012 19:40 (twelve years ago) link

There was still a line out the door at 1:30 at Red Onion DC. Didn't go in -- SOM had a bunch of the cooler (if more common) stuff and was also doing a brisk business. The WTNG yacht rock comp is pretty good, only RSD item I got.

I'm still sort of conflicted about the whole thing: If this is needed to give indie shops a boost, then more power to them and make it happen. It keeps them open the other 51 Saturday for the folks not just chasing the eBay-focused stuff.

a-lo, Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link

It looks like I was charged double the actual price for the Hazlewood LP, which isn't even an RSD exclusive. I guess it's nice to not have to wait for the price to get jacked up on ebay...

muus lääv? :D muus dut :( (Telephone thing), Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:04 (twelve years ago) link

Definitely returning it, though.

muus lääv? :D muus dut :( (Telephone thing), Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:04 (twelve years ago) link

Nobody at my store and no special items. Everything was ten percent off though; made off with a mint condition Womack & Womack promo LP.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:15 (twelve years ago) link

They had a bunch of stuff at Record Surplus in Los Angeles, I grabbed the Feistodon 7", which is really all I was interested in. They had an Ozzy live single from the 80s, but *shrug*.

OK I will check, going out again soon and it's not out of the way.

Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link

thanks, scoping one on ebay right now. called every shop in town. would greatly appreciate it.

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link

Didn't know about the Mynah Birds release - I've long been astonished this has gone unreleased for this long.

Also want the Shuggie Otis 45 with an unreleased song on it.

Lee626, Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link

somebody snagged the Perry box, sorry! xp

tons of Dark Stars left though

Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:55 (twelve years ago) link

thanks for looking!

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 21 April 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link

torn on ordering a copy of the Lee Perry for $90. on one hand, i want it and don't think i'll get it cheaper. on the other, i hate people who buy shit to flip on ebay. the seller is affiliated with a record store. is there anyway to turn him in and get his store blacklisted from RSD releases?

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 21 April 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link

Poked my head in the Reckless in Wicker Park and it was a total zoo.

sockless in moccasins (jaymc), Saturday, 21 April 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link

There are like four copies of the Lee Perry here @ DustyGroove. I'll get you one, BLD. But I can't find the Dead thing anywhere! How about a three-way trade with Sleeve?!

Stormy Davis, Saturday, 21 April 2012 21:41 (twelve years ago) link

Otis Clay is killin it right now btw

Stormy Davis, Saturday, 21 April 2012 21:42 (twelve years ago) link

Grabbed:

Flaming Lips - Heady Fwends (anyone else who got it, check the runoff grooves for four secret messages) 2xLP
McLusky - Does Dallas LP
Devo - New Traditionalists Live 1981 2xLP
Sigur Ros - Hvarf Heim 2xLP
Bragg/Wilco CD/DVD

This year seemed a bit slight for me but no burning desire to buy any of those 6x45-inch things for insane prices. I can only buy Electric Warrior so many times y'know.

Sean Carruthers, Saturday, 21 April 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago) link

On the odd chance that there'll be a charred rib I can gnaw on while watching the band pack away their equipment, I'm heading over to my local now.

nickn, Saturday, 21 April 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago) link

I picked up the Scratch set for ya, BL5. It was 30, I'll pm you later

Stormy Davis, Saturday, 21 April 2012 22:04 (twelve years ago) link

2nd Hand Tunes was not busy, and they didn't have any RSD releases I wanted, but they did bring me a stool to stand on and I
* bought 4 good records
* had a nice convo with a young lady looking for Soft Machine records
* jib jabbed with the clerk about Tangerine Dream and awesome soundtracks, directed him to the copy of the Foxes sdtk sitting in his store

Good times so far, no mobs or elbows.

How do the customers bend their arms if they have no elbows?

NWOBHamster (J3ff T.), Saturday, 21 April 2012 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

It's Evanston, they find a way.

two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Saturday, 21 April 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link

hey Stormy I'm gonna go out now and check on the Dark Star

Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Saturday, 21 April 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link

2nd Hand Tunes is the greatest. I miss it so.

Waterloo? Oh, we've sunsetted that. (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 21 April 2012 22:19 (twelve years ago) link

Wow! Thanks Stormy. my email is b g e o g h a g a n (@) h o t m a i l - that's my paypal address too. i can do paypal or check, whatever you prefer.

long distance lee perry fistbump!

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 21 April 2012 22:55 (twelve years ago) link

don't really care about a lot of the limited edition hoo hah, but have to admit that the dark star LP is a rad idea. they should just do a series of 25 of the best Dark Stars all on LP. it would sell!

tylerw, Saturday, 21 April 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link

"Lee Perry's Blackboard Jungle Dub issued for the first time ever in a 10" vinyl pressing. "

how is this a thing? i could probably press it up on MiniDisc and it would be "Lee Perry's Blackboard Jungle Dub issued for the first time ever in a MiniDisc pressing."

i don't get all this stuff at all.

Hit up End of an Ear and Waterloo Records here... got the School of Seven Bells and M83 45s, and the Captured Tracks Wake tribute 45, which isn't really an RSD exclusive. Would have liked the Beach House 45, but it was long gone by after lunch when we showed up. Some other stuff was still available but I saw the prices and was like go fuck yourself. $45 for 4x7" box set? A 7" single for $14? Single LP releases for $24? Come on.

got up early this morning, like around 7, got up to seattle by 8:30 or so. after i got there, i decided i just didn't want to deal with crowds, lol, so i spent the morning walking around and drinking coffee instead. nice day. finally made it to the record store at 11 or so, by which time there was still a decent (smallish) crowd and basically no super-snazzy swag left. some guy playing folky indie rock in the back when i got there, switched out for a synthpop dj after 20 minutes or so. pretty cool vibe, really.

i bought a cleaners from venus lp (never heard them before, they're great!), and a few used records, only spent about 30 bucks.

yuppie bullshit chocolate blogbait (contenderizer), Saturday, 21 April 2012 23:42 (twelve years ago) link

did anyone check out the feistodon?

Mordy, Saturday, 21 April 2012 23:45 (twelve years ago) link

Got into Cactus before the mid-day temp shutdown for the Evanescence (!?!?) meet'n'greet. Got the Buck Owens book, which was an ouchie $24.95, and the lady in front of me let me see her copy of the "Dark Star" album ($19.95 here).

I've missed the last few RSDs, and thus was sort of shocked how uncomfortable mere shopping was. This was already early afternoon and there were still people everywhere. There was a line running through the store, so you had to keep excuseing yourself to people just look in the racks. Eventually I just gave up and joined them. Made me miss the first couple years before it became a "thing" and the hang-out atmosphere was encouraged (all-day dj sets and instores, less "me-first" exclusives).
