Auris Apothecary cracks me up.

yeah. they have some insane releases. when they really try though, the editions are absolutely stunning (both of the black mountain transmitter releases come to mind).

Auris Apothecary cracks me up.

LP:
Cat Power - The Covers Record
Cold Cave - Cherish the Light Years
Earth - Earth 2
Murder City Devils - Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts
Television - The Blow-Up

That Television bootleg sounds so good. They did a great pressing of it.

Ramones - Definitely top 10 of all time. Probably top 5 to be honest. One listen was enough to make me question why it took me so long to buy this album on vinyl. Not their best (Rocket To Russia) but definitely their most immediate and bracing.

I've been on a Ramones kick recently and listened to this album for the first time in years and fell in love with it again. I'll keep my eyes out for the rp. I found an original Rocket to Russia at Coachella this past year. "Cherish" would be an understatement.

I got the first four Ramones records when we did the draft to divvy up TomAz's collection in 2006. Those were the days.

[nosurprises12]

Was in SLO over the weekend and stopped by a few stores:

Soft Cell - Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing
Augustus Pablo - King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown
Depeche Mode - Get The Balance Right! Combination Mix 12"
V/A: Those Shocking Shaking Days. Indonesian Hard, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock And Funk: 1970 - 1978
V/A: Attack of the Killer B's

[zenidogx]

Dropped by Burger's 50% off sale and picked up some solo Beatles LPs I would have usually brushed off:
Walls and Bridges
Sometime in New York City
Electronic Sound

They were originally priced higher than they should have been, but they're also in great condition.

That was right as I started to post regularly and I didn't feel right jumping in. I still regret not having done so.

I only need to get Road to Ruin and I'll have the first five. But I really want It's Alive.

Such killer scores, both. That Augustus Pablo record is definitely the reggae record I play the most.

It's Alive is the only one I don't have.

I picked up The Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense at Rhino the other day. I love it.

That's a great grab! I love that record, and of course the film too.

I just bought The Alvaret Ensemble - S/t. Probably one of the best things I've heard all year.

They had, like, four copies of the King Tubby/Augustus Pablo album (Canadian reissue on Clockwork Records), so I grabbed the one which had the least amount of ringwear on the sleeve. As for the Shocking... comp, all of these Now-Again psych/funk compilations are phenomenal (I have three others I believe) and this one is no exception; got it new for $20 too!

[TheWatcher]

I have a few of the picture discs that come packaged in tight, thick, clear plastic sleeves. I'm worried about the plastic breaking down. Is this a problem? What is a good alternative?

[bballarl]

7":
Synthetic ID - White Walls EP

Flexi:
Smashing Pumpkins - Blissed

I had forgotten all about the Pumpkins flexi. They sent it to compensate people who preordered the Gish/Siamese Dream reissues that were delayed. I just found my copy recently. Neat.

Bryan, I didn't get a chance to send out the records before leaving for KY. I'll put them in the mail after I get back. Most likely Tuesday.

[getbetter]

:/ well I learned a couple important lessons about Discogs .

1) Do not go on when your drunk.

2) When buying always check out the sellers profile.


I got ripped off trying to buy Funcrusher Plus

LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver 2xLP (got it on sale through DFA for $10!)

why is it $20 when I look?

[mmsk123]

They were scratch and dent copies up there a week or two ago.

[nosurprises12]

Spooks posted about it in the LCD thread; my copy has a bit of corner damage but the records themselves are fine.

Picked up this 7" last night Less than 100 copies left!

Revelator is the somber vision of musician Ben Chisholm, who is also a full time member of Chelsea Wolfe. Recording under the name "White Horse" since 2010, he has released a number of highly praised experimental solo recordings including "Final Coordinates" and "The Revenant Gospels I, II, and III". Sighting other artists working under that same moniker, the name was eventually put out to pasture in 2012. With this fresh start, Revelator offers "Net of Gems", a melancholic and haunting song driven by a wash of electronics, throbbing percussion, spiraling piano and subtle guitar work. He effortlessly constructs a sonic world which conjures up delicate hallucinogenic visions akin to a spry Pink Floyd, but darker and more ethereal.

Wear Your Wounds is the product of years of solo experimentation by founding Converge member Jacob Bannon. Picking up where his avante-garde projects Irons and Supermachiner left off, "Adrift In You" quickly builds into a hook laden storm of sound. Subtle electronics, massive guitars, and huge percussion swirl as poignant vocals call from the eye of it all. Bringing to mind the stark sounds of Swans, Killing Joke, My Bloody Valentine, and other like minded artists.
