Less noteworthy, but nice nevertheless:

Used LP copies of Strange Days and Morrison Hotel. My old copy of Strange Days was an original pressing but a little beat up. This is a later pressing but it's nearly perfect inside and out. So is Morrison Hotel, and this is also my first experience with that album.

Also a used LP of Disraeli Gears, again to replace an older beat-up copy.

Can you say, "Score!"?

You're creepy.


*ahem.*


Anyway, I didn't actually buy these, but whatever...
These were technically just laid on me by the kind fellows who made them, but I will list them here because I am looking forward to checking them out.

Acid Mothers Guru Guru - Psychedelic Navigator (their live show fucking killed, and I highly recommend andy West Coast people check out their tour coming through RIGHT NOW)

Acid Mothers Temple - Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo

Träd Gräs och Stenar vs AMT 2007 tour CD

Oh lighten up, Francis...

hey gmku
go look in the hot girls thread
anita pallenberg just for you (and me cause she was a hot bitch)

I see this all the time at Records On Wheels (as well as 180G (also Simply Vinyl) In Utero... I NEED them, but I also need to buy this amp first... as well as Daydream Deluxe...) They are both 40 bucks, which is a hefty sum for... a single vinyl, y'know?

I picked up The Destroyed Room 2XLP and Arcade Fire's Funeral LP, though. Yay!
I didn't know The Destroyed Room had songs not on the cd... fantastic!

i got in the mail:

avarus - rasvaaja (lp)
kousokuya - echoes from deep underground (cd/dvd)

sc hit the jackpot.

40 bucks? My SV copy of Nevermind was only 19. I wonder if they priced it wrong, because I've seen it online for about 30.

Score!!!
The record store here jacks prices up a lot, at any rate... Right now, DdN is $60... last time I was there, it was $44...
And the dude kind of tries to bullshit you, he claimed that the price [of Daydream] will only go up now, because it's a limited run... errrrr.... no, man, it isn't.

Dude, you need to pick me up a copy of this $19 Nevermind... I will totally send you all the money for it and shipping, not to mention all my love.

180gm. blonde on blonde
i think i might return it. i like my original copy better because it still sounds brilliant after 40 years.

Ordered the new Dirty Projector's album Rise Above today and pre-ordered the upcoming Black Dice record Load Blown.

Settle down, tiger. That's a keeper, and there's nothing wrong with owning more than one copy.

Which label? Sundazed or Simply Vinyl?

(I'm not embarrassed to admit to owning three, by the way: a cheesy 80s reissue, and both the Sundazed and Simply Vinyl.)

I would if I could, but I didn't see any other copies.

I hate bullshitting record store owners. About a year ago one tried to tell me that this was the last month any new releases were coming out on vinyl because of oil prices. The next 11 months proved him wrong, of course. They still came out, but then of course he used the oil-excuse to jack his prices up--even while the other store in town stayed consistently at the lower prices. What a jerk.

Shucks!
I'll have to save up $40... $80... ....fuck, $140... (Nevermind, In Utero, Daydream... god dammit!)

Until your Heart Stops-Cave In

Sorry about that. The store's hard to get to, too. I have to drive thru shitty traffic about 30 minutes at least.

Meaning, I can't just run over and check to let you know, much as I wish I could help you out.

Gone are the good old days when I worked just down the block from a store. But I have to say the stores around here are so much better stocked with new vinyl than the ones in Iowa City, and I didn't think they did a bad job at all.

The last record I bought was an LP replacement for my old copy of White Light/White Heat that got cracked. Before that it was 4 Violins by Tony Conrad. It rocks. The last CD I bought was Sound Grammar by Ornette Coleman which is the best new record I've heard in years (other than The Alarm Clocks LP). Not a lot of people I know bought it and it's their loss. Amazing that a 75 year old man could make such fresh, inventive music. Of course, FE doesn't carry it which is another reason you should Boycott them.

put "boycott FE" in your sign, you'll lose less time when posting.

For pity's sake, WHY aren't you!?

Let me put it this way--if you have to ask, you'll never understand.
