"The Moles album showed up on Spotify (I'm just living with that at the moment). I guess I have to get the CD when it comes out, didn't realize how different some of the songs would be from what's on the Flydaddy Untune. Surf's Up, in particular, is just huge on the new one. I need their discography sorted out for me as far as different versions go, which I hope the reissue does in the liner notes."

the moles rsd thing is 2 vinyl albums and 2 CDs.

yeah, the two original Lps are on the two vinyl discs and the first CD, the second CD includes lots of rare stuff/singles/EPs that isn't on the vinyl. IIRC.

kind of weird way to package it. i think the CDs will be available separately, in a non-limited manner. don't know about the vinyl. for a run that was supposed to be just 300 copies I saw an awful lot of these locally. if anyone wants one for $42 plus shipping let me know.

(i got a ton more but i don't want to bore everyone...)

scott seward, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:51 (ten years ago) link

RSD-rolled (sleeve), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:39 (ten years ago) link

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:45 (ten years ago) link

(but, y'know, for records rather than tickets)

Ah gotcha

dollar rave club (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:23 (ten years ago) link

well I went to amoeba last night and found a copy of the glenn jones EP so (*runs finger across forehead to wipe brow, flicks the worry sweat away*) whew! One more copy there in the RSD section by the info counter as of closing time last night for any fellow Angelenos.

christmas candy bar (al leong), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:08 (ten years ago) link

It's such a lovely EP; the middle track is gorgeous. His last RSD 12" (the split with Black Twig Pickers) is also amazing - some of his best stuff!

Walter Galt, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:26 (ten years ago) link

haha

christmas candy bar (al leong), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:23 (ten years ago) link

That is awesome!

never mind.

47 watchers

austinato (Austin), Thursday, 24 April 2014 12:53 (ten years ago) link

26 of which are music journos waiting for the outcome prior to them sending in their copy.

mark e, Thursday, 24 April 2014 12:57 (ten years ago) link

Ok I honestly hadn't heard of the Moles. Now I feel like I missed out! "Untune the Sky" is fantastic. Anybody seen copies around anywhere (for not double the list price)?

Evan, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 19:12 (ten years ago) link

you can get cheapy-cheap copies of the CD on amazon

espring (amateurist), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 00:56 (ten years ago) link

seven months pass...

so one of these just happened? seems like there was zero publicity, I picked up the Against Me! EP

the manager at my local said the two most in demand items were the Death Grips LP and the Guardians Of The Galaxy cassette release, LOL

sleeve, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 03:13 (nine years ago) link

The Black Friday version of this is usually not as big an event. For me there was absolutely NOTHING interesting.

Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 04:47 (nine years ago) link

Guardians of the Galaxy cassette and, surprisingly, Faith No More single seemed to be the things people wanted here. All I cared about was the Sneakers 10", which I got.

I never doubt the Patton faithful

i did it all for the 'nuki (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 13:30 (nine years ago) link

The Patton Warriors.

Mark G, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 15:07 (nine years ago) link

I got a 7" of J Mascis covering Mazzy Star's 'Fade Into You' and it's great.

Your Ribs are My Ladder, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:03 (nine years ago) link

I bought the New Order 81-82 EP on clear vinyl but it will most likely remain sealed on the shelf with the 2 other copies of the original pressing I have.

brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:21 (nine years ago) link

Scored the Dead thing, Bug / Earth thing, Penny Arkade reissue, and that Mascis thing, though I have to say if I didn't work at a record store, none of these things would have gotten me out of the house (maybe the Dead thing, but I have enough '72 to last me a lifetime).

We had 44 people lined up outside - one guy arrived at 2:30am. He wanted the single copy of the Death Grips vinyl we received. He got it.

Guardians tape was the other hot item for some fucking reason.

Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:15 (nine years ago) link

I picked up the Scharpling & Wurster Rock Rot and Rule LP, which was just a leftover from last year's RSD. Was searching for that J. Mascis 7" but couldn't find it anywhere, pretty bizarre for Seattle. Maybe I can find it at the Sub Pop store in the SeaTac airport.

Tomás Piñon (Ryan), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link

and the Guardians Of The Galaxy cassette release, LOL

OMG yes, this was apparently super popular. About a week before Thanksgiving I was standing at the counter at Reckless waiting to pay and this late 20s looking girl came in to ask about Black Friday and the GotG cassette. She asked if she could put one on hold because she had to work on Black Friday and couldn't make it in, only to break down in literal tears when the guy explained how RSD works and how she'd really need to come in to buy it. I wanted to offer to just buy her the soundtrack on CD and dub her a cassette copy or something, she was so crushed.

But, yeah, apparently this was a very big thing.

Why?

why buy a toy lightsaber? it's a prop from a good movie.

I mean, it's a good mix, but there's no reason I can figure why it's going for insane amounts on eBay already:

Yes, that is what it looks like.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 19:39 (nine years ago) link

It angers me that the cassette shell is CLEARLY patterned after 70s or early 80s designs (Realistic maybe?) but the J-card is Maxell from the 80s

Actually it doesn't but I imagine someone's flipping out about it somewhere.

Nah, we all used to mix up the index cards, not on purpose though.

Mark G, Thursday, 4 December 2014 01:04 (nine years ago) link

Oh I know man. I'm old. Half of my cards were just pictures cut out from magazines with a post-it note on the inside.

Pooja Bhatt's erotic thriller Jism 2 (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 4 December 2014 02:52 (nine years ago) link

Anyway, I was a bit angry when I bought Steve Lamaq's "Weekender" tape, it looked all authentic on the inlay cover. The cassette was the usual normal mass-produced thing. Boo.

Mark G, Thursday, 4 December 2014 07:40 (nine years ago) link

you bought what?

sosmix klopp (NickB), Thursday, 4 December 2014 07:44 (nine years ago) link

i mean, I don't know what that is. old thing or new?

This. Sorry my pad crashed. That has the cd version, the tape box looked the same. Bought back in the day. Tape was lousy quality and kept snagging anyway.

Mark G, Thursday, 4 December 2014 07:59 (nine years ago) link

i would argue that that, and not john peel, is the blueprint for 6music

koogs, Thursday, 4 December 2014 11:08 (nine years ago) link

Wouldn't argue at all.

One cassette played occasionally, in the car, in 1996 and then superceded, is great.

One radio station playing this on repeat for ever, is not.

Mark G, Thursday, 4 December 2014 11:58 (nine years ago) link

three months pass...

Jesus some of the crap they're coming out with this year...
