National Record Store Day

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:

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?

Do we have a full list for this year yet?

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?

Sub Pop Saddles Record Store Day 2013 with
a Trinity of Musical Things:

Shearwater & Sharon Van Etten’s “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”
b/w “A Wake for the Minotaur” Limited-Edition 7” Single

The Limited-Edition Sub Pop 1000 Compilation LP

Terminal Sales Vol. 6: The Silver Ticket,
Sub Pop’s Free 19-Track 2013 Label Sampler CD

Watch Sub Pop 1000 Trailer here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qsMlGEeumo This is their channel so,
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?”

goddamnit i am finding myself wanting this charlie poole LP that tompkins square is putting out, despite the inevitable overlap with the LPs i already have.

Things I wanna get for RSD this year:

The Atlas Moth / Wolvhammer Split 7" (Init)
Atmosphere – Demosexual 7" Vinyl (Rhymesayers Entertainemnt)
Austra + Gina X - Mayan Drums 12" Vinyl (Domino)
The Black Keys / Stooges - No Fun Split 7" (Warner Brothers)
Deep Purple / Type-O Negative - Highway Star Split 7" (Roadrunner)
Half Japanese - Half Gentlemen Not Beasts CD (fire / Cargo)
Husker Du – Amusement 7" Vinyl (Numero Group)
Non-Phixion - I Shot Reagan 7" Vinyl (Uncle Howie)
Pussy Galore - Groovy Hate Fuck 12" Vinyl (SHOVE)

The Purple/Type-O split will be a gift for my sister in law who adores Type-O Negative.

oh boy, what i've always dreamed of-- a Misfits and Lemonheads split 7"

http://www.recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/5899

both bands rule imo

Flying Nun and Captured Tracks are putting out National Record Store Day specials, re reissues of The Bata and Snapper. Too many individual links to cutnpaste right now, but this will lead you to the info and streams (with a bunch of other NZ stuff on these same YouTube pages)
http://eepurl.com/xeTAf

Guess I'm going to have to probably get those as well... As if I didn't have enough normal releases in mind.

Like non-Record Store Day stuff.

I am v stoked about this Double Dagger mini-LP/DVD combo even though it's prob gonna cost way more than I wanna spend for it.

I never got the original 1/2 Gentlemen set but it was expensive at the time

As will the LP box this time, might grab a CD version

I finally found something that I'm kind of excited about: original Kramer version of Damon & Naomi's "Wondrous World." Assuming it lives up to the description, could be pretty great. I love "New York City," which is pretty much the only track that keeps the over-the-top-Kramer sound from their first album, and I never liked the stripped down folksy side of them as much.

we will not be selling die-hard limited-edition 200 gram virgin blue vinyl death cab for cutie BBC session sound-check 10 inches on record store day or any RSD vinyl on that day but we will be selling records. we suggest that you go to one of the turn it up stores in the area or newbury comix or in the moment in brattleboro if you are interested in that kinda thing. wait, when is RSD again? at JDJR every day is record store day. i know its coming up though cuz i'm already getting calls. i have to explain that we are on the RSD website just so the Japanese know where to find us. hey, it works, don't knock it!

lol i'm a crank.

RSD, the day where you have to be there at ungodly hours of the morning, wait for a couple of hours to get in, and watch the guy ahead of you buy they last copy of what you came for.

Fuck it.

First Record Store Day releases arrived today - the madness begins...

http://www.rhino.com/article/annoucing-rhinos-largest-record-store-day-offering-yet?eml=rn/041513/recordadytxt

or for me this year- the day where you email a slightly less insanely crowded record store a few weeks beforehand, ask them to hold things for you that you'll definitely be there to buy, and then walk up at 3pm to pay on the day looking all smug. obviously not possible in places with one record shop.

http://thirdmanrecords.com/news/view/third-man-record-booth-and-record-store-day-2013-events

Third Man is unveiling their rehabbed "Voice-o-Graph machine that records up to 2 minutes of audio and dispenses a one-of-a-kind 6" phonograph disc to the user". I imagine the line for that will be crazy long on Saturday, but I may drop in next time I'm through Nashville.

Coming to 8am on the day itself here. We open at 9am. I am but a ravaged, exhausted shell once again. Hope it goes well after all the effort. Have fun anyone taking part in whatever form!

i hope la lechera saw our local alt-weekly's coverage of this. i know she would be interested.

Happy shopping to those that still have fun with it and aren't running a record store. Cheers!

In Nottingham, the queue started at 2230 Friday night. Fopp staff joined at 1am Saturday morning, the slackers. When I joined at 805, there were about 150 ahead of me. Shop staff were on hand to give state of play reports on specific stock levels, which was useful. The cafe opposite opened specially at 6am, and breakfasters were allowed to keep their places in the queue - cafe staff were also coming out to the queue, and taking/serving drinks orders. I got in the shop at 1020. At least half of my wish list had already gone, but I topped up with some impulse purchases and left content.

Our record shop (The Music Exchange) is run as a social enterprise, staffed by volunteer clients from a city-based homelessness charity, and RSD cash helps them stay solvent for the rest of the year, so I was happy to splurge out on a rarely bought format. A pleasant morning.

I'm at AKA in philadelphia if anyone want to say oh hiiii

Look for the intensely uncomfortable person in red pants and a blue shirt

Or, you know, don't

I will be at Long In The Tooth in Philly later today...

I did!! I have a plan but currently am still in my jammies.

sub pop 1000 sounds cool. don't know most of the bands, but love his electro blue voice and peaking lights, have enjoyed iron lung live. someone buy that one for me. and groovy hate fuck reissue would be fun (though i've got the vinyl drip lp that comps it with most of feel good and pussy gold, so w/e). but what's this about bardo pond doing "maggot brain"?!? holy shit, need to hear that. not necessarily own, but hear.

fuck a risdy, mostly

The line in Hoboken was especially long this year! Scores so far:

Orange Juice - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever
Imaginational Anthem Vol. 6 - Origins of American Primitive Guitar
Calexico - Spiritoso
Codeine - What About The Lonely
Tame Impala - S/T

Still looking for:

Giant Giant Sand
Snapper

Struck out at first place, moving on

Bummer

I got my tax return last night, and the $400+ dollars i was expecting as a refund for some reason is not coming, apparently I "made an error", so no record store day for me :-(

AKA didn't have most of what I was looking for, and I didn't feel like more driving/parking/meter feeding to stand in more lines. It seems like this could be really fun as a social thing, but I don't really have any friends who buy music or even have similar taste, and I don't need to spend this money anyway.

Picked up the two Oval reissues, the Get On Down 909 flexidisc/booklet, and Bisch Bosch, which I'd been putting off. Found but didn't buy the King Midas Sound 12" (there's no way I can justify $15 for a two-track single) and the Glove reissue (same re: $35 for something I already own on CD). I would have loved to find the Sacred Bones releases (third annual sampler, Moon Duo remixes) but those will probably be orderable from the label; I'm more annoyed at not finding the Factory Floor repress, Evian Christ 12", Beak> 10" and Caribou represses.

Got the imaginational anthem and the PIL first single replica

RSD sucks so hard, saw dudes listing shit they just bought on their iphones

first stop yielded the Husker Du double single on Numero, on to the next one. looking for Half Japanese, Invisible Hands, Bardo Pond.

what did bardo pond put out..?

I believe it is an LP? "The Creator Has A Master Plan" b/w "Maggot Brain"

saw dudes listing shit they just bought on their iphones

fuck this shit

I found the Invisible Hands single, got one more store to go to.

22-MINUTE "MAGGOT BRAIN"!

apparently

xp oh holy fuck, "the creator has a master plan" TOO? gah, want that so damn bad. love bardo pond, and those two would duke it out hard for high placement in my alltime top 10.

shitfire

goddam it, etc. how many copies?

not sure, but:

http://www.discogs.com/Bardo-Pond-Rise-Above-It-All/release/4422758

yeah, i saw that. someone's selling one for $60 bucks. fuck that. checked the fire site, and while they don't list the print run (or if they do, i missed it), they do say that copies may be available for mail order tomorrow. here's hoping...

The prices of these things are astounding, someone I know paid £13.99 for a 12" of Wings "Maybe I'm amazed' with various different stereo/mono mixes on it
