The best was the rolling paper included in Big Bambu.

Nah, the best record cover was the Durutti Column's "The Return of the Durutti Column", which was just sandpaper. Which meant that it would ruin your other records in your record collection as you listened to it.

If I was in a band I'd hire Mad Magazine to do a fold-in on one of the gatefold covers. Then I'd watch all the vinyl nerds turn themselves in knots trying to decide whether to fold-in and see the joke or keep the jacket pristine. :getin:

Didn't someone do this? Or am I confusing that with the Beck video.

Print 900 covers with a proper fold-in picture. Print 90 with a different picture that's similar enough that you won't immediately notice the differences, especially unfolded. Print 10 where the folding doesn't result in a proper picture at all.

Make the album like a picture disc, but instead of a picture, put a smaller album inside it.

My favorite band ever, Soul Coughing, is reissuing all three of their albums on July 24th (even the first one which was never released on vinyl in the first place). Unfortunately they're only getting released in the UK even though the band is from New York and not notably popular across the pond as far as i can tell? In any case, I was wondering if I could bargain with a kind britgoon to pick them up and send them to me at non-insane prices. Most places want about $50 usd each incl. shipping which seems... silly.

Amazon.co.uk. They're just pretty expensive it looks like. Maybe soul coughing thinks their fans are rubes. There's still time to make another 90s band your favorite, like cake or the spin doctors.

Little Miss Can't Be Wrong and Two Princes.......

are the only two songs I can remember about them and are the only songs I think anyone can care about. But man, what a great pair of songs.

I think that's what makes them so disappointing. They had two great songs. If they only had one, you'd be cool with it. But now you're left asking "What went wrong?"

From what I'm told, basically the rest of their catalog was opener-on-the-HORDE-Tour jamband noodling.

Also, they had a third hit, even, with Pocketful of Kryptonite.

e: apparently the real title of that song is Jimmy Olsen's Blues, even though "Pocket..." was the name of the LP. What the gently caress, Spin Doctors.

If your goon interests span across other forums, you might be interested to know that that the OST for Dropsy is up for pre-order as a limited edition pressing of 500 copies on transparent orange vinyl.

The game itself still isn't out yet, though. :sweatdrop:

From the same goon label that put out the Martin soundtrack featured on the last page. No release date, but I'd expect it to come out around the same time as the blu-ray restoration.

Edit: Torgo's theme is a locked groove. :getin:

Gonna buy that Earthbound soundtrack...

Celebrated the 4th in Seattle @ Jive Time records. My favorite record store in the city so far, but that's probably because I was finally able to find "Signals, Calls, and Marches." Since it's the re-issue with their first single on the second side, I also get to enjoy my favorite song of there's Academy Fight Song:

Is Mother 2 a straight game OST or will it be an arranged album like Mother 1 is?

A cautionary tale:



That Pink Floyd bootleg I was so happy to find at the Solid Sound Festival? I got interrupted while playing "Echoes," so I stopped it and figured I'd come back to it shortly thereafter. Blah blah blah, I left it on my turntable a couple days, and that's what I came back to. I recently moved to a temporary location, and a big windowsill area is the only place for my music gear at the moment. It's in the sun, but I figured since the record was lying flat on my Pro-Ject's acrylic platter, even if it got a little wobbly in the heat, it'd stay flat anyhow. Boy, was I wrong.

Now I know :(
