Some rad stuff I picked up recently. Beserkley comp and the Mothers of Invention comp were found at a thrift store for a buck each (!). The Beserkley comp has 4 Jonathan Richman songs/covers I hadn't heard before. Kill Rockstars comp is probably the worst out of the trilogy (B-side opens with Rancid??) but it has a different mix of a Smog song which is rad. The rest of the stuff was picked up at the DC record fair this weekend where I tried not to spend too much money. I'm stoked to finally get the Pre-Moon Syndrome record. A bunch of awesome bands are on there (Pagans, Unrest, Velocity Girl, [the better] The Go Team, Lungfish, etc).

I'm finally getting around to listening to my Halloween 3 soundtrack. Death Waltz really put out a great product. Still my only vinyl from them, but if the rest are as good, I'm definitely looking forward to picking up more from them.

Ok I have to talk these Ultimate Outer 5.0 sleeves up. I just bought 100 of them and they are glorious. They are a bit stiffer than most sleeves I've used, so they kind of almost try to force themselves flat again so it fits most things pretty snugly (even my fattest gatefolds which are 9-10 mm thick): They are also clear as hell:

The preorder for the new album by The Men, New Moon, is up: http://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/releases/sbr090/ Check the limited edition: Sacred Bones posted:Limited edition of 350 hand-numbered copies in deluxe packaging. Includes a bonus CD Campfire Songs, featuring six acoustic songs not on the LP, along with hand-screen-printed wrap-around sleeve, wax-sealed, available by mail order only. The limited editions of their previous albums go for mad cash. I really like their previous albums and they are supposed to be great live, which I will find out this weekend.

Speaking of waiting for things in the mail (and losing them). The Kickstarter project I backed back in June or July finally shipped late December. Didn't get anything, but luckily saw the guy perform a week or two ago. I told him about it, and he gave me an LP, and a CD. Unfortunately, I also would have gotten an exclusive shirt, and bought a Dutch compilation he appeared in. He has some more comps, but no more shirts. Hand screen printed cover:  DETAIL! With glow in the dark!  (Track names are glow in the dark on the back, as well) I highly recommend this guy, and if someone wants the bandcamp code from the LP I got, let me know (PM if you can) I got a code from Kickstarter. He's on tour right now, and puts on a neat show by himself with loop pedals. Go see him! http://everendingkicks.bandcamp.com/album/notion-free

It costs like $30 in shipping to order 100 12" sleeves from overseas, stores have got to at least break even on them. I tried ordering from bags unlimited once but they didn't have a very good system set up and asked me to email them all my CC info which I am not really comfortable doing

I think it's only being released on that day in limited colors but probably gonna have a wider release from there on out. They'd be stupid to just make it an RSD 2012 exclusive.

Being a fan of 90s music is hard when you're a record collector, considering that CDs were king. I liked a lot of electronic music from that era, though, and that's no so bad considering that DJs still used records and there's a lot of DJ-only pressings floating around. That being said, I'm not sure if too many people will care about this, but I had one of those great finds (to me) that makes roaming the used bins so sporadically rewarding. It's the 12" single of Soul Coughing's "Screenwriter's Blues" that had some remixes on it that I'd never even heard of before. I LOVE Soul Coughing from that era (Ruby Vroom and so on) and was genuinely surprised to see this in the bin for 4 bucks. Very cool.  Regarding the electronic music aspect, one of my favorite things was when Amoeba here in San Francisco had a giant "electronica" blowout and the bins were full of stuff like singles from the Chemical Brothers in the Dig Your Own Hole era, older Prodigy, things like that. Super cheap and nostalgic.

I bought The Flaming Lips - Christmas on Mars: Once Beyond Hopelessness soundtrack on vinyl from a local record store yesterday used and it came with some previous-owner history.  I'd like to imagine that the receiver of the record was a man who would pretend to be a young attractive girl online in games like World of Warcraft and trick lonely but affluent nerds into sending her (him) flaming lips vinyl. The record itself is pretty sick. Great spacey mellotron jams. Sounds really classic sci-fi and at times even Disney. If you like how that sounds you should definitely pick this up.

LP sales are up again for like the 10th year running, let's call it a day and look back fondly as "(expensive) fun while it lasted". fake edit: Let's not look back fondly enough to necessitate it coming back ever again.

My major gripe is just that the one I got seems kind bootleggy. The disc and the sleeve have "Made in Italy" printed all over them, but there's also a little sticker on the cover that says "Made in Germany". So that seems kind of suspect. It was also not shrink wrapped and according to discogs this edition of the album is supposed to come with an insert, which it does not. I of course still paid 40 bucks for this.

This looks cool! Thanks. Alan Zweig made a documentary about record collectors back in 2000. It's not the best-made documentary, but it's worth it just to see some of the people he gets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNRvB8lyRSM
