Record Store Day April 18th- Support your local store - Page 3

blunderbuss · 04.18.2009, 07:45 AM

Just home from London - Rough Trade west advertised itself as opening at 10 am, but actually opened at 8.30. Being a total anorak I was there for the early opening time, and had the place to myself for 15 minutes. Bought the SY splits (which they were selling on a first-come-first-served basis, unlike their backward eastern cousin) and Thrill Jockey compilation LP, and got given four free compilation CDs. Happy happy happy.

I went and bought a used 2pac cd for $5, put middle fingers in the air and yelled "Fuck the world!" as I exited the store and no one noticed. Good day.

Just got back from Disc Exchange. Wilco was having a signing but they'd only sign one copy of the DVD that just came out and you had to buy that DVD. Fuck that noise!

Purchases:
SY/Beck Split
SY/Jay Reatard Split
(the store only had 2 copies of each split. Which promptly made their way into mine and my friend's hands, leaving some insane hipster that was kissing the camera's ass to ask if they had any more.)
El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez-Cryptomnesia (LP-regular release isn't until May)
Pixies-Come on Pilgrim CD
Blonde Redhead - Slogan/Limited Conversation 7"

The Thrill Jockey compilation is fantastic. REALLY fantastic.

Glice · 04.18.2009, 02:29 PM

I didn't buy any records today. I made a racket with a mate though, which was awesome. I don't really see the need for this when I've got a standing order at a record store (that's really tragic, isn't it?).

Phlegmscope · 04.18.2009, 03:21 PM

I went to the only records store in my town yesterday and there was nothing particularly interesting there so I didn't bother going today. Last week tho I bought four records from there so I've done my share of supporting the fucks at the local for a while.

Rob Instigator · 04.18.2009, 05:26 PM

Here is my haul from 3 different stores.

MELVINS - Gluey Porch Treatments (w/ 11 extra tracks)

REM - Superman
DEPECHE MODE - Strange love
LOW - Venus
BLONDE REDHEAD - Signs Along The Path
SY/BECK split

ALBUMS Vinyl

TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS 60 - JOHN FAHEY - Hard Time Empty Bottle Blues 1-4

Went to the latter and it turned out that they weren't participating because there was some deal about having to change distributors or something.

Going to Salonen conducting Stravinsky instead.

An exceptional alternative I'd say.
