Here's some more info on that big Flaming Lips collaboration compilation album. Apparently it's gonna take about $36.99 to sound like complete poo poo on your player. (I'm only mostly kidding. Those random coloured vinyl they've been putting out over the last year often sound bad. I'd rather have a black vinyl version of this compilation, but que sera, sera.)

I've been wanting to pad out my collection of mostly rock with some jazz, so the other day I picked up Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, and Weather Report's Heavy Weather. Heavy Weather sounds loving amazing. On the hunt for some Brubeck and Coltrane next.

A friend of mine got to help press a few hundred of the records earlier this week and he was told that the band is having the plant really step up their quality control for this. They'll still probably be really noisy, but I hope not. Here's the official, final Record Store Day list: http://recordstoreday.com/NewsItem/2868

I think the deadline for ordering has already passed, so you can't really ask them to order one for you.

Unless you live in San Francisco. I still can't find a drat copy of Hormoaning for less than $50...if anyone has a spare copy and feels like being charitable, let me know. I did get a copy of that Jenny and Johnny single 8 months after release though.

Yeah, I've never done RSD before, so I'm going to hit up a few places around town, fully expecting to be disappointed. Really all I want to grab is the Tomahawk box, maybe Mastodon/Feist, maybe Cursive. But like I said, I fully expect to walk away empty handed.

I've never really had any trouble getting the stuff I want. Last year I asked one of my local stores that doesn't do much for RSD if they could order and hold some stuff for me, which they did, and I just went to another store the morning of to get the stuff the store wasn't able to get. They're doing the same thing for me this year. I didn't have any problems the first three years without having stuff held for me, either.

RSD discussion has gotten, it seems, exponentially more negative with each year it exists. As a big enthusiast of it in the earlier years, I do see how it's become less of a special, promote-your-local event and more of re-issues/cash grab bit. I do enjoy when some bands go out of their way to introduce something unique but it's indeed gotten a bit saturated with some pretty lame offerings. Know what's coming out though and it's a joke how people try flip so quickly, especially when they're just simple re-issues

I was all set to not bother this year, but I really want that Devo live album. New Traditionalists is my favorite Devo album, so a live set from the period is essential listening for me. The Mississippi John Hurt and Skip James albums seem interesting, but beyond that it's a pretty underwhelming list. Those last two will probably be easier to pick up later on because I'm guessing ebay flippers and the people who buy from them don't give a poo poo about old blues singers.

That's annoying. A copy of Com Truise's Galactic Melt popped up on Amazon market place for $16.99, and I bought it as soon as I saw it. They shipped me a CD. Was looking forward to that, a lot. Oh well. I did read on a discogs comment that it was likely that they were going to repress it (first pressing was only 500 copies) so hopefully that happens at least.

So my record fair was today and it was pretty excellent. Vendors did well, I made as much as I spent, which is all I really ask for. I bought mostly surf poo poo but a few others LPs: The Challengers - Wipe Out! a comp on flyright called "chicken stuff houston ghetto blues" featuring Hop Wilson, Big Walter and Juke Boy Bonner The T-Bones - Everyone's Gone to the Moon The Marketts - the Batman Theme Soul Survivors - WHen the Whistle Blows, Anything Goes 45s: Aaron Neville - Spaceman / She Took You For a Ride Googie Rene & his Combo - Break It Up / Side-Track Googie Rene & his Combo - Wiggle-Tail pts 1 and 2 The Rhythm Kings - Those Lonely Lonely Nihts / Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu The Popcorns - Zero-Zero / Chinese Twist Rocking Bros. - Behind The Sun / Rock-It (KIILLER guitar in an otherwise New Orleans R&Bish record) Sonny Hall - Poor Planet Earth / The Battle for the Moon (weird semi-country) Matt Lucas - I'm Moving On / My Heavenly Angel Jimmie & the Night Trippers - Cruising / Night Hop The Strangers - Young Maggie / Boogie Man The thing was, the day before I dropped by a friend's place who decided he wasn't going to sell. Probably did just as well if not better Nearly all of these 75 cents: The Allisons - Surfer Street / Money (Surfer Street is one of the coolest girl group numbers I've heard in a WHILE) The Exports - Seat Belts Please / Car Hop Little Willie Littlefield - Easy Go / Ruby-Ruby The Dixiebelles - Southtown USA / Why Don't You Set Me Free (not their best but they're great. Sorta sloppy girl-hollerin') The Nite Riders - Six Button Benny / Apple Cider The Surfaris - Dune Buggy / Boss Baracuda Classie Ballou - Dream Love / Hey Pardner! (great Louisiana blues/instrumental) Guitar Gable - Congo Mombo / Life Problem Plus LPs - Clarence Gatemouth Brown - Alright Again Osibisa Roy Head - Treat me Right (compilation) Earl King - THose Lonely, Lonely Nights (compilation on Ace) All in all plenty to listen to Still going through photos but this one gives an OK idea

Was looking forward to that, a lot. Oh well. In defense of the Amazon seller, sometimes labels and distributors don't bother with fresh barcodes and poo poo shows up on Amazon as a different product. I can't tell you how many times I had to cancel orders at my store for some Linux kernel book (we don't stock many books, and none pertaining to Linux) that was really some sort of High Times-related DVD. Also, the last Puscifer thing that came out on vinyl just used a barcode from an older CD of theirs. Then again, sometimes the employees who pull orders are just loving stupid or lazy, which I can also vouch for.

I can understand that happening, though Amazon lists a different ASIN for each. Not only that, it was listed "mint" "like new" but the bar code had a razor cut slashed through it AND marker for remainder. It was a digipack, and the sleeve was dinged pretty bad. On top of all that, the label website sells the CD for $12 -- five less than what they charged. Can't get anything right. To make this post worthwhile, I went to the of Montreal show in Seattle last night, and picked up "Paralytic Stalks". Have a code!

Somehow my chef gave me the day of our biannual record show off. And I get paid they day before, gonna blow like half that drat thing there. In other news I got OG press of Current 93's Earth Covers Earth yesterday and it is beautiful, despite the big smudge/scrape thing on the first track (totally not NM, rear end in a top hat). And in a few days the Warsaw bootleg 12" will be here (their first 3 recordings!) and I will be a happy dude. Getting a smartphone has done wonders for my collection. And not for my bank account.

But it was only five bucks and that's what return policies are for. I've had really good luck with LPs and shipping so far so I'm not that concerned. I've had LPs come from the UK in nothing more than a thick envelope and a thin sheet of bubble wrap and they were fine.

I ordered the Silversun Pickups album that someone posted about a while back from Best Buy and both LPs came warped. Only record I've ever bought from them, so take that with a grain of salt.

Then I got the Fleet Foxes first album and it was fine - well, the bonus album for their EP is just very slightly warped but it's fine. You can return them at your local Best Buy if you have an issue. They should just refund you. Edit: The packaging was the same as Amazon's if I remember correctly.
