Crate Diggers with Jello Biafra - http://www.fuse.tv/videos/2014/04/crate-diggers-jello-biafra?campaign=ytb-cd-041614-thr

I love that Biafra breaks out Heino about six and a half minutes in. I'd heard that they'd blast Heino before DK shows back in the day, with the punks all moshing to the schlager sound, so I'm pleased to see that he still has the man in his record collection. If anyone is curious, the Hawaiian-styled Heino tune he sings briefly is "Und sie hieß Lulalei".

FnordChan, who knows more about Heino than is strictly necessary

Here's an interesting article about RSD in the UK including some comments from Spencer Hickman who organises the UK version as well as running Death Waltz:

http://thequietus.com/articles/15031-record-store-day-2014-problems-distribution-vinyl

And, besides, regarding the majors' involvement in Record Store Day, Hickman takes a far more optimistic approach. "Among the first people to support Record Store Day were Warner Brothers and they have consistently produced some of the best and most interesting releases on the schedule – split coloured 7"s of Green Day and The Lemonheads covering The Misfits; things like that. Yes, some majors release rubbish, but others absolutely understand what it's about because they've got people working for them that still buy records. Their releases will get bought. Releases by majors who haven't thought it through will get left on the shelf, especially unnecessary reissues. That's where things can get watered down."

Also!

Wow that has to be the least interesting release that sums up Record Store Day perfectly I have ever heard of (and don't get me wrong, I do love Misfits and like the first Lemonheads record...)

At least some thought has gone into that though, even if it's not your thing. There's 8000 copies of the Grateful Dead Live & 5000 of a Katy Perry picture disc this year. They are going to haunt the shelves for years to come.

More Katy Perry pic disc is the only kind of pic disc I would buy so I am okay with this <3_<3

The return of Wax Trax!

http://cherryberry321.wordpress.com/2014/04/17/new-12-from-wax-trax-what/

It warms my heart to know that Wax Trax! is making a comeback and I'm in for the new 12" whenever it drops. Also, I didn't know about the Front Line Assembly/Skinny Puppy collaboration Cyberaktif until I saw that Wax Trax! was pimping a t-shirt with their logo, but I'm all for a) FLA, b) Skinny Puppy, and c) albums that name drop Dario Argento flicks, so that basically made my day.

Paranorman
Banks - The Remixes

wuhhhhhhhh.... ok, as much as I wanted it, I can't justify the price, not now at least.

Went to see Kalle Mattson live yesterday. I had won free tickets as well as his CD. Great performance, good stage presence and humor. Really sad to see the turnout be so crappy. Dude was super excited to kick off his European tour in Amsterdam, only to start off with about an audience of 6 or 8. Luckily more people turned up mid-performance. Felt I should at least support them so I got their vinyl.

Check out their music here

P.s. I can't stand that the best album of the year, Sun Kil Moon - Benji, is not on vinyl.

It will be, just down the road sometime. Caldo Verde puts out all of Kozelek's stuff on vinyl, but almost always running 6-12 months after the digital and CD versions.

 

[BaronLundi]

Unfortunately, I didn't learn about the first volume until it had gone thoroughly out of print and off to the land of excessive Discogs prices, but I just pledged for Kosmischer Läufer Volume Two: The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program 1972-83.

Finally pledged and made the balance tip over the stretch goal. Happy to buy you guys 60g more of east german electro

Never heard of him, but sweet art work. Had an experience like that when I went to see Dom back before they broke up and he went solo. There were like 10 of us there for the entire set. After the show he asked us for our emails and sent us free download codes for his new EP and gave us a free Busch beer that wasn't cold haha. Too bad he went solo. They were making some decent music and even had some hype from Pitchfork. He ended up putting out some weird electronic solo album with no singing from him and it wasn't very good.

 

[omgkitty]

Just putting this out there, but would someone here who's going tomorrow to a smaller, lesser known store (or are just crazy and show up early) be able to help me out with the Death Waltz releases? I'm kind of worried about my chances as the store I'm going to is very popular and there's already a dude waiting outside :\ I'm at the point now where I'm not even sure if I'm going to risk it as I hear there's usually at least a few hundred people by the time the doors open at 10am. I'm only looking for the 4 Death Waltz soundtracks that are coming out, and considering it's kind of a niche market, hoping someone could help me out.

Not sure what specific hour or how many they'll have, but Light in the Attic will be selling copies on their online store starting tomorrow.

 

[toxk_02]

I'll be at Light in the Attic tomorrow (open 9am PT), I'll keep an eye out for the Death Waltz releases for those interested.


On my side if anyone happens to spot the School of Seven Bells release I will gladly pay you to pick it up. I already know my local shop won't have any copies (RSD website says there are only 300 so pushing my luck anyway).

 

[Matrix]

I'm never gonna find Banks - The Remixes RSD without being completely ripped the f-ck off.

Only 350 copies, it's listed on some sites that their shops will sell it instore tomorrow anywhere from $10-15 ... then which I'm sure will go for insane prices on Ebay for those lucky enough to find a copy and don't care about the music itself.

Harvest records blows. Bad enough they hardly made any copies of her London EP vinyl.

 

[DataStream]

Anyone in SF hitting up Amoeba tomorrow?

 

[Dwayne]

Well i'm back from a long day record shopping, picked up the Nirvana 7", Gil-Scott Heron, and in the late afternoon I saw a REM Unplugged sitting lonely by itself in a bin.. who could resist?

Besides that, picked up some Alan Vega, T-Rex, and then Connan Mockasin and Metronomy for my wife. Didn't see the Zombies releases anywhere

 

[tanuki]

For anyone else who's interested in the very first vinyl issue of The Field's From Here We Go Sublime, it's on sale on the Kompakt webstore.

Yeah let me know. Someone was helping me but he's struck out so far.

 

[DiscoJon]

Totally got skunked on everything. If anyone has a spare Death Cab or REM they want to part with, hit me up.

 

[nitewulf]

if anyone is selling an extra REM, let me know.

 

[toxk_02]

The haul. Light in the Attic was great; orderly line and 25% off everything else in the store. omgkitty and DiscoJon, expect some pms on Death Waltz and Death Cab.

Struck out on the Cake Box set, but got the Death Waltz offerings. I would be willing to trade the DW discs straight up for a Cake box set.

DW records seem pretty easy find, I have zero interest in Cake, but I think that was the most sought after item this year

Not that I know of. Discogs search is the worst, you're better off searching google with "site:discogs.com" on the end.

It's surprisingly difficult to find popular releases through the Discogs search. The first 5 or so results are always promos/unofficial releases that no one has. They need to put the popular ones first or something.

 

[Ken Masters]

Discogs is quite easy to use once you get the hang of it, just make sure it's spelled EXACTLY the same. Once you search that there are so many categories it's near impossible to miss it

All my RSD purchases were up on discogs by that afternoon

Very nice! Apparently this one was limited to 300 copies, so well done on securing a copy.

Meanwhile, I posted my own list of shame over in the Record Store Day thread, but the short version: both of the Medical Records Italo disco releases, Strut's early 80s Romanian science fiction soundtrack release, and three of the four Death Waltz OST releases, basically everything Italian, though I may break down and complete the set this week with their Clint Mansell reissue. Whee!

Heres a question I have as a non vinyl buyer (I own some but no longer have a turntable). Its about new albums being put out on vinyl.

Are they remixed for vinyl? or do they just dump the mixed for digital version onto them?

Did they re-press that? Or is it an old copy kickin around?

 

[omgkitty]

Finally got my turn table in and set up yesterday!

Already I have a noob question. Is considered okay to just turn the record player off while it's playing and leaving the needle down to save your place? Sometimes I have to leave the room or take a call or something, and I've just turned it off and left the needle down. Is this okay?

 

[Ken Masters]

Depends

 

[RockAction]

Can anyone recommend a decently priced set of speakers, something around 50 - 100, that's probably too low for really good ones but it's all I can throw at it right now

Just got into the world of vinyl listening

Looking good! In my experience it's best to let the record play out. Simply turn off the volume and let the arm auto-reset itself after the records is played through. Similarly I've heard that it's best to not start the record by placing the Needle on one of the further tracks. Always start at the outside rim, just before the first song.

I'm sure someone will correct me though.

I'd never do that personally, but I don't have a particular reason why. Blows me away they don't have a cue arm on those.
