National Record Store Day

That's quite a haul, Evan! Happy birthday as well!

anyone see a shop w/ a bunch Neko Case "Fox Confessor" LPs? hoping to fill my one unmet need via mail order.

Thank you!!

xp

In the NYC area Neko Case seemed to sell out every place I'd seen.

What is the Shoes album? Is that new stuff?

the shoes is a career overview with a couple live tracks thrown in as collector bait.

Thanks--I just looked it up on their site (according to which they've now released 17 albums).

Ohhhh dammit I didn't get to listen to the Shoes yet, but I was under the impression that it comprised of more demos and live tracks than that! I could return it I suppose.

That Shoes vinyl is awfully pretty

That's awesome. Is it a mix of clear and solid?

I think it's all solid (that's the pic from the label's site). I ordered it but it hasn't shown up yet!

With that kind of vinyl I've found it's always a gamble. About half of a pressing comes out beautifully tie-dyed and half come out basically brown with the occasional flicker of color here or there

went into my local indie emporium yesterday to check out the leftovers.
i looked and looked, but there was nothing of interest to me.
possibly the J&MC live album, but it was £23, and that's rather steep for an album i would probably never listen to.
they did have a couple of the ork boxsets still around (£160 i think), and a few of the creation boxsets ..
no doors mono repress though UMS - though in fopp today there was a mono repress of the 'waiting for the sun' album, so, i suspect that 'strange days' will get a more general release at some point.

I think UMS mentioned that he was able to pick that up, actually.

ahh .. i clearly misinterpreted that post !

phew.

I posted a press release for the Shoes LP upthread; here's most of it:

PRIMAL VINYL TRACK LISTING:
Side A
Tomorrow Night
Don’t Do This To Me
Too Late
Girls of Today (demo version)
Okay
I Don’t Wanna Hear It (live)

Side B

Should I keep it or return it?

There were a bunch of "Strange Days" mono's at the one I was at yesterday.

Hmm, "Psychocandy Live" hey?

Mark : live at glasgow barrowlands - assuming the recent tour.

probably gone by now .. only had one copy.

i'll probably regret not picking it up ..

hey ho.

I didn't know anything about it.

Ah well. Guess we'll all be online on Saturday at 09:00

WTF

http://www.collectorsfrenzy.com/details/251925933695/Brand_New__Deja_Entendu_2015_Vinyl_RSD_Release

that was one of the biggest record store day things. for some reason. i was seeing prices of 300/400, but not that high.

Right, that's double the highest general rate I've been seeing it sell for.

Who's ready for weekly record store day?

http://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/indie-retailers-and-record-store-day-launch-vinyl-tuesdays

nooooo

On the plus side that means we get to bitch about RSD once per week instead of once per year!

Once every three weeks, you mean..

Ugh. It was only a matter of time, right?

Oh sweet I'll get to explain to people every week that really independent record stores don't get shipments every week, don't always get them on Tuesday and can't afford to order every single release that comes out.

on the other hand, you can now get the new bruno mars record on every color of vinyl in the pantone system

Complaint retracted!!!!

The only way to kill off RSD is to have it every day.

Roy Wood tried something similar, the heathen...

B-52s, Buzzcocks, Gang of Four, Jesus And Mary Chain, Otis Redding, Brian Wilson, Phil Collins etc.on Rhino ltd. ed. vinyl for NRSD Black Friday:

First year there is literally nothing I care about. I mean, I've said that about previous RSDs, but I usually went out and bought a few things anyway. This year I'm almost definitely sitting it out.

That Cardigans album is the only thing I'm after. All their stuff is impossible to find on vinyl.

Wish I could tell if the Clash reissue is of the US or UK version.

Well it says that the vinyl colors were inspired by "White Riot" and "Protex Blue," the latter not being on the US version. For what that's worth. That's the sum total of the info they sent out to stores, apparently assuming we'd just buy it because CLASH COLORED VINYL RECORD STORE DAY.

Here we are again, let a new springtime for discontent begin:

TOMORROW

What did you want, what did you get?

i wanted: an end to this bizarre hipsto-conservativism, i got: disappointment

Happy Hogmanay!

i see they are selling lp picture frames now - you can just chuck those pesky black discs inside the cover away and enjoy the real experience of vinyling!

Shit they've been selling those forever

i wanted: an end to this bizarre hipsto-conservativism

Shit I've wanted that for a while now. But I find it interesting to see what people are actually after. Sooooo much crap they churn out every year and somebody's buying it...

I forgot this was today, had thought I might stroll along to the record shop and the comic shop opposite later on for a relaxing Saturday wander but now I know that "relaxing" isn't going to happen I guess I'll stay home

(If I do go I'd be looking out for the Acid Guru Pond, Blanck Mass and Cavern of Antimatter records and then probably deciding that they each cost twice what I can justify spending and putting them back. Not sure if those really were the best 3 choices or if I lost the will to keep reading after C in the alphabetical list...)

The stuff I want - The Fall single reissues (on Superior Viaduct, I think?), the Joe Strummer "Gangsterville" 12" - will be there tomorrow with the rest of the leftovers. I don't live in an especially hip place.
