[wmgaretjax]

I traded in a bunch of my DVDs, which I've been digitizing... I'm not keeping physical copies of some of the films I'm not that interested in any more...

So I got these LPs:
Yellow Swans - Demos (press of 500)
Belong - Colorless Record (St. Ives press of 300, each one handmade by the artists and really fucking gorgeous)
DNA - On DNA (press of 2000)
Lithops - Mound Magnet
Fennesz - Black Sea

I also got the Campfire Songs CD by Animal Collective (went out of print recently, and I never grabbed it)...

[bmack86]

DNA on DNA is only 2000 press? I bought that about 4 years ago, and I still see them around. Poor DNA, nobody wants their music I guess.

[wmgaretjax]

according to the sticker on my 2LP copy... only 2000.

That record is so fucking good, it has everything

[bmack86]

Amazing stuff. They sound so ugly.

[thestripe]

How very Jared of you to put the the press number in your post.

I don't normally do that... I just got excited because I picked up the Belong and Yellow Swans used and was digging around for more info (particularly on the yellow swans record, which I hadn't heard before).

Hahaha, that is a lot of the stuff I bought the past two years. Goldfrapp and Interpol were new. Pretty good haul.

I'm going to Amoeba tonight to make unintelligent financial decisions with Christmas right around the corner. I will report back later.

[bmack86]

I then went to Amoeba to finish my Xmas shopping. Apparently there's a new Buddha Machine, with more loops and a pitch shifter. it's pretty great.

[bballarl]

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. Looks like I will be buying that.

[thestripe]

I don't normally do that... I just got excited because I picked up the Belong and Yellow Swans used and was digging around for more info (particularly on the yellow swans record, which I hadn't heard before).

I was just playing, playa.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Last night I picked up:

Hail to the Thief
Amnesiac 10"
Third

All on vinyl.

[bballarl]

I made some poor financial decisions today because I hadn't been record shopping in a couple of months. So what if Christmas is around the corner!

LP's:

The Cure - The Only One (7")
Mott the Hoople - Mott
No Age - Teen Creeps (7")
The Rain Parade - Live in Japan
Raphael Saadiq - The Way I See It
XTC - The Black Sea


CD's:

The Replacements - Let It Be
Wipers - Wipers Box Set
XTC - Apple Box

DVD's:

The Complete Jam

Misc:

Buddha Machine II

Oh, and I got the following from the No Age/Titus Andronicus show, as well as work:

LP's:

No Age - Eraser (7")
Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances

CD's:

Tom Petty - Highway Companion
The Replacements - Don't Tell a Soul
The Replacements - All Shook Down
Neil Young - Sugar Mountain

Sigh.

[wmgaretjax]

That Sugar Mountain CD is awesome.

[SoulDischarge]

Wipers - Wipers Box Set

That motherfucker is the best deal you'll ever find. Isn't something like $7 for three cds?

[bballarl]

$20. But yeah.

[sydaud]

LP's:


Mott the Hoople - Mott

XTC - The Black Sea


CD's:

The Replacements - Let It Be
Wipers - Wipers Box Set
XTC - Apple Box



CD's:

Tom Petty - Highway Companion
The Replacements - Don't Tell a Soul
The Replacements - All Shook Down
Neil Young - Sugar Mountain

Sigh.

That's a fantastic haul, but I'd like to know if you've sat down with the 2 Replacement's CD's you bought or if you were already familiar with them? They're certainly more "mature" than their previous releases.

Black Sea is my all-time favorite XTC release. I guess the new version of the CD adds like 3 or four songs.

And Sugar Mountain is quite good, but I don't know if it's as good as Massey Hall...strong score on the Mott as well. You're making me feel as though I need to go make some ill-advised purchases as well!

[wmgaretjax]

I just ordered the Paw Tracks christmas 7" (Dave Porter, Kria Bekken, and Antony share a track)... I also snagged a Black Dice and Ariel Pink 7"...

[bmack86]

I received these as gifts recently.


And, in tribute to Lee in his wisdom and photo posting prowess:

I am going to listen to those Replacements records when I drive home in a couple of days. I have only read about them. I got them through work, so if I dislike them (which won't happen...even a not great Replacements record won't suck), they were free.

That was provocative.

[bballarl]

Went to Rasputin yesterday.

LPs:

Beachwood Sparks - Beachwood Sparks
Big Country - The Crossing
Compilation - Doo Wop Rock
Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story

[miscorrections]

Beachwood Sparks are severely underrated.

[roberto73]

As are Big Country. I found that same album, still shrinkwrapped, for $1.90. There is clearly not enough appreciation for guitars that sound like bagpipes.

[bballarl]

Big Country are immensely epic.

[Alchemy]

I just bought Little Big Music from the Daniel Pemberton TV Orchestra on iTunes. It's fun and I think this should open up the Coachella Stage on one of the days.

[bballarl]

Had to sell some CDs at Rasputin today. Used the proceeds to buy:

LPs:

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Von Bondies - Lack of Communication

CDs:

Starling Electric - Clouded Staircase

Say what you want about the Von Bondies, but Lack of Communication rocks very hard.
