It's been pretty rainy so I've mostly been inside playing videogames all week, and I can walk to two cool local record stores, so I'll probably check out what's going on tomorrow. Not really interested in anything new that's been announced but I'll probably pick up some records just the same.

Really drooling over this for some reason:

Housed in a very special custom-made felt backed 7” sleeve depicting original production stills this limited 45 single comprises the ocarina/electronic rhythm led main theme tune which promptly punctuated the 4.15pm slot on ITV throughout the summer of 1983. The 45 also features the Paganistic dance themes of Midwinter Rites which with its avant-garde leanings will also appeal to fans of Bruce Ditmas, Dariush Dolat-Shahi and various other Neotantrik experiments. Like the running lengths of the original episodes these rare specimens won’t stick around for long so act fast, relax, regress and rejoice for the return of the Moomin trolls.
Totally unnecessary, yet totally necessary.

Many record stores don't make money of the exclusives because the margins on new vinyl -- even the non RSD stuff -- are small. That said they do a fuckload of other business. Many stores do their best business of the year on RSD and then break that record the next year. The day isn't just about the exclusives as much as it is about reminding people that record stores exist and do cool shit year-round.
But, you know, fuck the A-Ha picture disc.

Also: 2 Holger Czukay albums will be available tomorrow: "Hit / Flop" (a collection of freshly remixed jams from the man himself) and "11 Years Innerspace" (Lots of Boat-Woman-Song type jams along with a rocker -- "My Can Axis"). 2x10" / Triple-gatefold. They're dope.

why do people need to be reminded that record stores exist? i don't really get it. seems like a lot of people buying stuff they won't be listening to.

People need reminding because there's still a shitload of stores that people all assume are gone because of the internet. That's the whole reason RSD got started. The growth is indeed crazy but the mission is essentially the same.

Knobs' post above was the most info I could find on the Holger 11 Years thing. Of course "partly unreleased" should be the clue here. Hmmm. There are short edits / outtakes from Canaxis, Moving Pictures and Plight & Premonition plus some other droney stuff presumably from later releases. The "rocker" though is amazing and nuts on first listen, although rather brief. Seems to be a chopped up Can-in-full-flight jam somewhere between Halleluwah and Spoon with added ringmod effects and possibly Holger doing a Damo impression(?). Something else new to me and very good on the final side I think with U-She singing. I'm guessing the other side D track is some abused Stockhausen Weird release but I suppose I was expecting that.

^ My lone Record Store Day purchase.
I swore off RSD two years ago but I relented this year when Nothing, a local shoegazer band on Relapse, did an in-store at AKA Music and my son expressed an interest in going so we went out.
Here's the band doing their acoustic set. Can't see 'em but I assure you they played. They also gave out free beer which was great!!!
http://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/11070260_10155470082435597_7411050594403352483_n.jpg?oh=2fe62a20d9403a1db01449853d8e73a6&oe=55A1DBB2
This was my haul:

The vinyl at the top is the RSD stuff I bought. Since the Johnny Marr was for a friend, I only picked up two RSD exclusives for myself.
The store also was selling all CDs that were not a new release or used for half price so that explains the new stuff you see. The used CDs were not on sale but I always buy used CDs and a few of these were actually free since the store put a bin outside of shit to give away.
Total cost was less than $100. I also ran into a guy who I worked with before at a record store! He works there now.
I had fun and then had a nice lunch with the family. It did make me realize that I missed record store shopping, that I have been too reliant on Amazon. I plan on making more time to shop locally.
So RSD was a good thing for me this time, mainly because I had zero expectations for getting actual RSD product so merely finding two things that I wanted and weren't ridiculously overpriced felt like a victory.

I had an alright time today, too, after all. Didn't stick around for any of the bands, but chatted up the employees at the shops I stopped into. It's always fun to just talk shop.

i've listened to everything i bought already except for the one 7" i missed out on which i just picked up on ebay for the same amount it was meant to sell for in the shops (plus postage of course). there was a great carnival atmosphere in the record shops of glasgow today. whatever the downsides of RSD might be, it's pretty hard to be down on something that brings a lot of people together through a love and shared joy for music.

what if they're just casual music fans, or what if they're just now "getting into" music? just because they're not smarty pants dorks with immaculate taste like the rest of us doesn't mean they're poseurs just buying stuff to display in their homes or something.

also, it's not just "reminding" people about record stores, it's providing an *excuse* to go record shopping and a lot of people have lives and kids and do things with sailboats and snowboards and can't be arsed to go to actual physical record stores all the time.

Played some tunes @ Dr. DIsc this morning for Record Store Day. Loved seeing everyone there, many I hadn't seen since last year's event. I'm so grateful to have this great store in my city, still going strong. The band Learning was good, ....11am suits their sound well. Good to see patrons meeting like-minded new friends based on what was in each others selections.
[But I will never understand the fanaticism towards the special Record Store Day releases, which are just astronomically priced repackaging and studio discards which treats the artist's fans like shit and suckers.]
I got this in the bargain bin:

did anyone else pick up the Fool's Gold LP? I was going to buy it anyway because I have adored "I'm In Love" without reservation for a few months now, but the whole thing is really fun IMO.
I actually bought a ton of RSD shit today, but that's because buying records is awesome.

today was a fine and normal saturday at my store but tonight was GREAT. all my pals digging in the store and a great set by Tarp and then the Byron Coley explosion and a fine ending of Brit psych in the basement! what more could i ask for? i could ask for nothing more. and i bought awesome 45s from some dude earlier in the day.
