National Record Store Day

Wait, there was a Chuck Prophet record too? Okay, that's pretty funny.

I'm a sucker for the lock groove. No way I could have made it into any shop over the weekend due to work, so I fess up to sourcing my copy on the net. I don't feel any guilt whatsoever tho, since - for reasons probably already mentioned in this thread which I've not read entirely - someone's record store made the sale initially, and I personally celebrate record store day about 30 times annually.

cool spin article where they find links to listen to a bunch of stuff online:

including the flaming lips thing

you can mailorder a lot of RSD leftovers from these guys, including that 8 trails one path record.

Those guys are great dudes.

i never stop in connecticut, it is just a drive-thru state for me. i guess maybe i should.

Yeah their store is in a pretty random seeming suburb, though relatively close to New Haven. They have a pretty nice selection usually. I last saw them with a table at Novembers WFMU record fair. I was helping Todd (booker for Maxwell's and Bell House in Brooklyn) with his table.

isn't mad mike's still around?

sleeve, I got you the 'Eight Trails' lp (hopefully you didn't already get it elsewhere!), will drop you a line about trading for the Dead thing

i got some extra buck owens coloring books if anyone's innerested

hey bld, I did send you an email on monday, to:

b-g-e-o-g-h-a-g-✧✧✧@h-o-t-m-a-✧✧✧.✧-o-m

sent from my gmail account. Weird that you didn't receive it -- maybe in your spam folder?? I didn't see the email you sent through ILX until now, because it is linked to an account I don't use as often. But I'll email through ILX as well

found a copy of the circle album this afternoon. black vinyl. haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but i did spin "here come the warm jets" four times really, really loud.

From Paste newsletter piece (by Taylor Kane) on National Record Store Day x Black Friday releases/specials:

The Rolling Stones are set to release their first EP on 7”, which will include “Bye Bye Johnny,” “Money,” “You’d Better Move On” and “Poison Ivy (version 2).” My Morning Jacket is set to release the It Makes No Difference live recording on 10”, which was recorded at the Newport Folk Festival Tribute to Levon Helm. The recording features Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes. The White Stripes are set to release three singles including “Hotel Yorba (Live at Hotel Yorba)” b/w “Rated X”, which is set to be pressed on opaque red vinyl. “Rated X” is a cover of a 1972 Loretta Lynn song. The Lumineers are releasing a 10” EP titled The Winter, which will follow up the band’s debut.

“Five years ago when Record Store Day helped, and guided, the re-launch of vinyl we had no idea where it was going. Looking at this year’s wonderful vinyl offerings, youcan see just how far we’ve come. There are some real treasures in here,” said Michael Kurtz, co-founder and organizer of Record Store Day.

The event expects to announce more releases as the event gets closer, so keep checking back for more details. Black Friday falls on Nov. 23 of this year.

Legendary Japanese trio Boris announce a limited edition split 7" with recent tour mates Asobi Seksu available as a Record Store Day exclusive release on Black Friday, November 23, 2012. Additionally, Boris post new headlining tour dates in the UK and EU, as well as appearances at All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK and State-X New Forms Festival in Holland. See dates below.

The forthcoming split single features each band covering a song by the other. Asobi Seksu takes on Boris' majestic "Farewell" off of their Pink album, while Boris reworks "New Years" from Asobi Seksu's Citrus album here as "Neu Years", a churning dream pop gem. The vinyl edition includes a download card with 4 additional classic songs from both bands.

Iconoclast trio Boris are widely known for their ability to breach styles and stretch sonic boundaries of all that is heavy, psychedelic, droning and downright cathartic. Their last three albums -- Attention Please, Heavy Rocks and New Album, all released in 2011 via Sargent House -- are perfect testament to the band's vast abilities. Over the span of two decades, the trio, bassist/vocalist Takeshi, guitarist/vocalist Wata and drummer/vocalist Atsuo has issued nearly 20 studio albums, as well as numerous collaborative albums -- including projects with Merzbow, Sunn0))), Ian Astbury and Michio Kurihara of Ghost (who also currently tours with the band as second guitarist) -- EPs and singles on various labels throughout the world.

American dream pop band Asobi Seksu is widely known for their shoegaze influenced effect-laden sound. Since their beginning in 2001, the band led by vocalist/keyboardist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist/vocalist James Hanna has released four albums and various singles. Their most recent album, Fluorescence (Polyvinyl) hit shelves on Valentine's Day 2011 to much critical acclaim. Asobi Seksu toured supporting Boris in the fall of that year, cementing the friendship between the two bands leading up to this endeavor of mutual admiration covering each others' songs.

i was thinking re seeing the bristol show given my recent discovery of the pink album ..

this makes that decision all that more easier ...

Now if only both bands would collaborate on a track, or live--might not work, but I'd like to hear them try.

Years ago someone told me that 1,200 high school kids were given a survey. A question was posed to them: Have you ever been to a stand-alone record shop? The number of kids that answered "yes" was... zero.

Zero? How could that be possible? Then I got realistic and thought to myself, "Can you blame them?" How can record shops (or any shop for that matter) compete with Netflix, TiVo, video games that take months to complete, cable, texting, the Internet, etc. etc? Getting out of your chair at home to experience something in the real world has started to become a rare occurrence, and to a lot of people, an unnecessary one. Why go to a bookstore and get a real book? You can just download it. Why talk to other human beings, discuss different authors, writing styles and influences? Just click your mouse. Well here's what they'll someday learn if they have a soul; there's no romance in a mouse click. There's no beauty in sitting for hours playing video games (anyone proud of that stop reading now and post your opinion in the nearest forum). The screen of an iPhone is convenient, but it’s no comparison to a 70mm showing of a film in a gorgeous theater. The Internet is two-dimensional…helpful and entertaining, but no replacement for face-to-face interaction with a human being. But we all know all of that, right? Well, do we? Maybe we know all that, but so what?

Let's wake each other up.

The world hasn't stopped moving. Out there, people are still talking to each other face-to-face, exchanging ideas and turning each other on. Art houses are showing films, people are drinking coffee and telling tall tales, women and men are confusing each other and record stores are selling discs full of soul that you haven’t felt yet. So why do we choose to hide in our caves and settle for replication? We know better. We should at least. We need to re-educate ourselves about human interaction and the difference between downloading a track on a computer and talking to other people in person and getting turned onto music that you can hold in your hands and share with others. The size, shape, smell, texture and sound of a vinyl record; how do you explain to that teenager who doesn't know that it's a more beautiful musical experience than a mouse click? You get up off your ass, you grab them by the arm and you take them there. You put the record in their hands. You make them drop the needle on the platter. Then they'll know.

Let's wake each other up.

As Record Store Day Ambassador of 2013 I’m proud to help in any way I can to invigorate whoever will listen with the idea that there is beauty and romance in the act of visiting a record shop and getting turned on to something new that could change the way they look at the world, other people, art, and ultimately, themselves.

Let's wake each other up.

http://www.recordstoreday.com/NewsItem/3405

UGGGGGGH. So insufferable. I love the White Stripes but GOD just SHUT UP!!! Yes the romance and beauty of records. If you like records so much why don't you marry records?

Mainly i'm jealous, cos obviously who wouldn't want their own record plant? Stuff like those x-ray records is exactly what i was trying to figure out how to do 2-3 years ago but JW beat me to the punch.

But really i just can't help taking this guy down a peg from his high horse. Videogames are bad because they detach you from other people? Perhaps JW has never played multiplayer, or visited an arcade? While we're there you may as well make the argument that RECORDS detach you from other people. Unless you hang out in a record store all day, you are probably going to buy the record and then take it home and listen to it by yourself. Shockingly, this is about the same amount of real human interaction that will happen with the consumption on a videogame. Finally there is the matter that a record is a simulated experience with another person. You are not seeing the musician beyond the album cover. You do not get to interact with him anymore than you get to interact with the designer of a videogame. If videogames are a false experience of the real world then recorded music is a false experience of musical performance.

Totally agree with you. Jack White is so full of himself, it is nauseating sometimes. I guess when your whole schtick is vinyl and producing/recording, you can't see the benefit of other forms of media having the same effect on people as records do i.e. video games.

discs full of soul that you haven’t felt yet

So why do we choose to hide in our caves and settle for replication?

Yes thank god the records Jack White sells are all individually hand-cut.

Jack White married a Son House 78 last year, but he broke it on the honeymoon.

The sights smell, texture and sound of a live performance; how do you explain to that teenager who doesn't know that it's a more beautiful musical experience than a plastic disc?

Mainly i'm jealous, cos obviously who wouldn't want their own record plant? Stuff like those x-ray records is exactly what i was trying to figure out how to do 2-3 years ago but JW beat me to the punch.

wait, does he own United now?

No he doesn't, and he should just buy a record plant, cos he's probably the reason everyone's waits are so long these days.

"Years ago someone told me that 1,200 high school kids"

some hard evidence right there. "i knew a guy who knew a guy..."

A while ago I heard that 586 teenagers may or may not have believed something. Can you believe it?

SHOCKING!

wake up mp3ple

wake up.... and smell the savings! on limited edition vinyl things i sell @ u.

my new theory is that iTunes secretly started RSD to make people hate shopping irl so much that they would never do it again.

The cool thing about record stores is that they are real places you have to drive to in order to visit, and that every teenager owns a car that they can drive wherever they want.

April 20 exclusive limited to 1,000 copies

The Jesus and Mary Chain's essential 1985 debut, Psychocandy, will be reissued in a "paint splatter" vinyl edition for this year's Record Store Day (April 20), according to the band's Facebook page. Limited to just 1,000 copies, this pressing will come packaged with a reproduction of an early JAMC gig poster. As of now, it's unclear if this new version of the fuzzed out masterpiece will be a U.K.-exclusive.

Other treasures planned for Record Store Day include Stephen Malkmus' full-length cover of Can's 1972 album Ege Bamyasi, a reprinting of Hüsker Dü's first single, and a new Sub Pop compilation, among others. As previously reported, Record Store Day 2013's official film selection is the star-studded documentary Last Shop Standing; this year's ambassador is none other than reputed analog lover Jack White; and the vinyl holiday's official poster features Jimi Hendrix. It all sounds so sweet, just like honey.

I want 'Zaireeka' so bad! Any idea how much that will cost?

http://craigjparker.blogspot.com/2013/03/kiss-me-blue-sunshine-colored-vinyl-for.html

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me & Blue Sunshine colored vinyl for RSD
We've had a hint from Steven Severin, and a couple of listings, but it now looks like we're one step closer to getting confirmation that 'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me' & 'Blue Sunshine' will get the individually numbered & colored vinyl treatment for Record Store Day 2013 on April 20th, 2013.

This comes from a list put together by Wax Poetic, and then posted on other blogs.
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me Individually Numbered, Red Vinyl LP
Glove Blue Sunshine Individually Numbered, Blue colored double LP (including the demos)

Update: Slicing Up Eyeballs has articles about 'Kiss Me' and 'Blue Sunshine', and Wax Poetic says both of these are confirmed for US release. and will most likely be available in the UK, too, though that is not confirmed yet.

NUMERO ANNOUNCES 2013 INTERATION OF RECORD STORE DAY "POP UP" STORE AND FULL EXCLUSIVE RELEASE PLANS

For the third year in a row, the Numero Group will "pop up" on Record Store Day as a retail store. Much vitriol and hate has been spewed at us in the past for our circumvention of "the rules," and since we're gluttons for punishment (but really because we're slaves to our fans) we're loading up our cars and renting tables in hopes of breaking last year's record of 1062 entrants.
While last year's bonanza found us occupying the the Empty Bottle's 3000 square feet, we've opted for a smaller and more low key space this year. Meet the Comfort Station:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kc2egBfXn4c/TeooYS9jygI/AAAAAAAAgJU/dp53sdaPA4E/s1600/LI-sculp-LP-118b.jpg

Located triangularly at the intersections of Kedzie/Milwaukee/Logan Blvd, this turn of the century park district way station has been hosting left field artists for the last half decade. We've been drawn to the building for years, marveling at its odd size and multiple points of entry on our way to $3 movies at the Logan Theater. Last year's event was a massive success, but also a massive headache-we're hoping this cozier space leads to a more enjoyable experience for both Numero and our customers.We'll have every Numero record that is currently in print, plus the following "exclusive" Record Store Day items:

NUM704 Hüsker Dü: Amusement 2x7"

NUM202.1 Giant Henry: Big Baby LP

NUM201.5 Codeine: What About The Lonely? CD/LP

Additionally, we'll be manufacturing several items you can only buy at Comfort Station that day:
NUM025.5 24-Carat Black: Acetate picture disc 10"

This "acetate" features four songs from our 24-Carat Black tape archive that were scorched beyond use on 2009's Gone: The Promises of Yesterday LP/CD. But given the quality of the songs, we've always felt that the material should be available for the sake of posterity alone. Now, in an edition of 500 copies, you too can experience the sorrow we felt as the source tape disintegrated in front of our eyes. All the drop-outs, hiss, warble, and degradation can be yours by attending our pop-up store on April 20th 2013.

We're also making a series of mix tapes by the working staff of the Numero Group. Ken, Tom, Rob, Zach, Jon, Nate, Dustin, Leland, Michael, and Haley have created 40 minute themed mixes of their favorite released and unreleased Numero songs. Each tape is limited to 20 copies and will be sold for $5. All proceeds go to the Numero RSD lunch fund.

In addition to our own junk, we'll have a handful of tables filled with rare, weird, and cheap LPs, 45s, tapes. For the third year in a row, we are not recommending that you only attend our store on Record Store Day. You should definitely visit Reckless (3 locations), Dusty Groove, Permanent, Laurie's Planet of Sound, Dave's, Jazz Record Mart, and Saki, which will have all of our non-pop up store RSD goods.
So, where are you going to start queueing up at 7AM on April 20th 2013?

I'm sure there were additions after this was posted, but that's a guess.

yeah seems that they're frequently updating that page (last update 3/19 according to link)

Oh! I didn't even click through this time.

I want to get the LP I just read about where Bardo Pond do a 21-minute 'Maggot Brain'

but not as much as I want to ignore this idiot magnet of a day entirely

I agree on both counts. Bardo record's not turning up on our distributor's site and I'm starting to worry, though.

Also kind of excited about the A Place to Bury Strangers covers Dead Moon EP. For some reason.

Do I have to start stressing out about this/planning my day already?!
I have had the CD-R of Josephine Foster's Little Life for years, but now I want the LP version! For no reason!

RSD stresses me out.

Do we have a full list for this year yet?

Watch Shearwater & Sharon Van Etten’s “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” AV Club “Undercover” here too.

We at Sub Pop will celebrate the hallowed musical holiday known as Record Store Day with a trinity of releases, available on April 20th.

Leading the pack is the almighty Shearwater, who joined forces with friend, tour-mate and Jagjaguwar recording artist Sharon Van Etten to release the “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” b/w “A Wake for the Minotaur” single, a limited-edition, 2013 Record Store Day exclusive. “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” was originally recorded for an AV Club “Undercover” session, and is, of course, a cover of the 1981 duet by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty; while “A Wake for the Minotaur” is a new, previously-unreleased original. The 7” is housed in a handsome double-gatefold sleeve that must be seen to be believed (and then purchased and owned to truly be enjoyed).

Secondly, Record Store Day is the release date for Sub Pop 1000, a limited-edition compilation of what we feel are some of today’s most vital artists from around the world. Sub Pop 1000 is comprised entirely of unreleased and exclusive tracks, and will be available digitally and on dazzling colored vinyl in a limited edition of 5,000 copies. The LP will include an 11"x11" booklet and a MP3 download coupon. Sub Pop 1000 was inspired by our landmark 1986 compilation, Sub Pop 100, which championed such groundbreaking artists as Sonic Youth, Wipers and The U-Men.

Lastly but not leastly, Terminal Sales, Vol. 6: The Silver Ticket is our 2013 label sampler. It’s a free, 19-track CD sampler featuring a heaping helping of new and in some cases somewhat rare tracks from the likes of Low, Shabazz Palaces, Mudhoney, Father John Misty, Still Corners, Pissed Jeans, Daughn Gibson, and 13 others. In keeping with Sub Pop tradition, the sampler is extravagantly packaged and will likely conjure thoughts like, “Wow!” and, “What were they thinking, giving this away for free?”
