Why there was a little record store at Solid Sound Festival, I don't know. But I got vinyl.

Witch - self-titled (J Mascis side project)
Lawrence Arms - Cocktails & Dreams 2xLP on orange
The Autumn Defense - Circles (actually I got that from the Wilco merch tent..)

New Exodus. I'd recommend it.

Seriously, how did Anthrax ever get nominated to be part of 'the big four' of trash metal while Exodus was around?

Hey UK folk, what's a good place to buy records online that you know... ships to the UK?

I really just want a vinyl copy of DISCO2, but apparently you can only get that in the US.

I find this upsetting.

Streetcleaner remaster? The one with 2 cds that came out this year or a version with 4 bonus tracks?

Oh... and Pure+Slavestate+Cold World Box is sweeeeeeeeet

SWOON! at My Gravitas · « **Reply #357 on:** 30 Aug 2010, 09:09 »

The one that came out this year. The things I've heard about what Justin Broadrick did with the mix have been well, mixed, but I trust him to not go back and ruin his old classics

From what I can tell, the remastered remix of Streetcleaner isn't much different than the original. I fancy the bass sounds slightly less crunchy, but that could just be my imagination

As for the bells and whistles that come along with it, they're all right. The "extended liner notes" aren't really that extended at all, they just include an essay about how great and influential Streetcleaner is and all that.

The disk of bonus material is pretty cool, it has a few "original unreleased" mixes that sound similar to the versions that made it into the album, except with much less bass presence. The highlights of the disk are the two live tracks and rehearsal demos, since Justin Broadrick's guitar playing with Godflesh involved lots of improvisation with harmonics and feedback, and they all sound different than the album versions. The 12-minute version of 'Pulp' is particularly epic

All said and done, I'd say that the Streetcleaner remaster is absolutely worth getting if you don't already have a hard copy of the album (which I for one didn't 'til I got it). If you already do I'd say it's not necessary, unless you are big on Godflesh completion-ism

In unrelated news, yesterday I found a used record store right by the university campus and promptly bought Red Medicine by Fugazi, The S.V.E.S.T. side of the S.V.E.S.T. - Deathspell Omega split, and Nespithe by Demilich all for 14 dollars. It was a good day

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #365 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 10:18 »

Wow, thanks for answering me! I appreciate it

I will probably end up buying it ( I already have a copy... yeah I'm a fanboy) and I was thinking about giving the other copy to a friend so it should be fine

Bruce Springsteen:
Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
the Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Nebraska

And a special edition of the Postal Service's Give Up with a second LP of singles & remixes. All on vinyl and purchased at the Sound Exchange in Wayne, NJ. The store is the size of a shoebox but it has so much music crammed into it it's amazing.

I bought Nirvana's "Verse Chorus Verse". Pretty cool, cause I got it on white vinyl, which seems pretty rare in North America.

The first 500 copies of Solar Bears' She Was Coloured In will be pressed on some very hot red vinyl. I pre-ordered mine over two weeks ago so I should be set. If you want a copy you'd better get it quick.

Wasteroo · « **Reply #379 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 22:27 »

today was payday! I went out and spent far too much money

but CHECK THIS OUT

it's an Oren Ambarchi LP my girlfriend stumbled upon while she perused the Animal Collective section and saw that it was misplaced. It's single-sided, and on the side without the sounds there are dragons etched in. as a bonus, it's a pretty good album! it's way more minimalist than Grapes From the Estate, which I dig a lot

it's a little tough to prove with my cell phone camera but trust me you guys it is so awesome

ALSO Zs

ALSO Black Moth Super Rainbow

which contained, holy shit

man, somebody explain Solar Bears to me, they do nothing but bore me but you guys seem to love 'em and I respect your tastes in music

KvP · « **Reply #383 on:** 07 Oct 2010, 00:28 »

There's nothing to explain?

I mean, the most succinct way to say it is that if you like Tangerine Dream and Boards of Canada, you're going to like it. They're basically Boards with more live instrumentation. Being just like Boards is a lot harder than it might seem, but the value of that quality is also somewhat inflated by the infrequency of that group's output (their last EP dropped in '06). If you don't like it, you don't like it.

Wasteroo · « **Reply #385 on:** 07 Oct 2010, 00:39 »

I guess it's just a random taste anomaly of mine, because I love Tangerine Dream and Boards of Canada. Honestly, Solar Bears (except for Dolls) just doesn't sound very BoC-ey to me at all. at most I would say that they kind of sound like BoC without all the dark ambiance and intensity and shatter-your-mind drops

I'm so jealous. Is it the scratch and sniff? haha.

Also, while they're still being discussed, is there any Boards of Canada vinyl at all?

KvP · « **Reply #387 on:** 10 Oct 2010, 10:36 »

Plenty, though it might be a bit hard to track down and their LPs are likely to be a bit pricey. The earlier the better. I have a remix 12" and the Skam EP (aka Hi Scores) on vinyl.
