lol fuck this guy.

there is a special section of hell reserved for people who flip records.

edit: classy move leaving the $9.99 price tag on for your photos. good thing I picked this up for $8.99 this morning.

Today my mewithoutYou boxset came. It includes the new record Ten Stories on 150g Arctic Blue vinyl with an etched D-side, plus an additional 7” of B-Sides, a signed poster, a deluxe-edition CD, and a 28pg lyric booklet with 11 original paintings by Vasily Kafanov and a forward by drummer Rickie Mazzotta.

Aaron signed my poster, “I’m truly sorry.”

Today is a good day.

VINYL SUNDAY - RECORD STORE DAY PICKUPS (L to R): The Receiving End of Sirens- Songs//2003 (2012, PHOTO FINISH RECORDS) (Clear Orange/500) (Record Store Day Exclusive) Boysetsfire- Live for Today (2002, EQUAL VISION RECORDS) (White/250) Pink Floyd- When the Tigers Broke Free / Bring the Boys Back Home (1982, COLUMBIA RECORDS) The Band- Cahoots (1971, CAPITOL RECORDS) (in memory of Levon Helm) The Smiths- The Queen Is Dead (1986, SIRE/ROUGHTRADE RECORDS) (original US pressing) Picked up some pretty awesome stuff. I wish I had gotten my hand on some more of the Record Store Day exclusive stuff, like the Childish Gambino “Heartbreak” Single or Sigur Ros’ “Hvarf-Heim” but I was too excited by finding an original US pressing of “The Queen is Dead.” I had Ralph Stanley’s RSD Exclusive in my hand, but hadn’t realized it was a 78 (which I can’t play on my turntable, and I’m not one of those collectors who buys records and doesn’t own a record player/hangs records on their wall instead of playing the music) and it was also $18.99 for a 2-song single. No thanks. Same goes for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.’s “We Almost Lost Detroit” RSD exclusive EP, which I also had in my hand but in the end put back because of it’s $18.99 price tag. Also, I discovered two pretty nice little record stores in Asbury Park that I had never been to. I would have spent all day in them, but I ended up leaving early to hit up The Record Store in Howell because I figured they would have more of the RSD exclusives, which they did, and had I gone there first I probably would have gotten my hands on some more stuff.

Jessica Paré- Zou Bisou Bisou (2012, LIONS GATE RECORDINGS) (Red)

  • Gatefold sleeve single pulled from the four-time Emmy best-drama-winning TV show Mad Men, timed to coincide with the 2012 season. Jessica Pare (Megan in the series) graces the cover, and reinvents the French classic “Zou Bisou, Bisou”; RJD2’s theme song for the show is the b-side.

First look at the DRIVE soundtrack on vinyl. So dope.

“YEARS” by: Bartholomäus Traubeck

  • This German Artist has modified a record player to analyze and play the rings of a tree using Ableton.
  • “A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently.”
