I am going to fuck these records from the SY side.

Hmmm, I found one kind of close to me. I'll be there first thing in the morning to pick one up!

Yr inbox is full. Fancy a trip to Manchester?

Man, Rob is going to be PISSED.

UM I HAVE FACEBOOK TOO, CHRIS

but yeah, maybe, a day trip would actually be exciting

Wow. I wonder if that Bottom of the World was recorded on the night I saw Waits in Edinburgh (he played two nights, so could be the other one).

yeey, mine has it to (JJ Records, Belgium). I'm gonna ask tomorrow if there's any way to pre-order it.

been to plato in utrecht, netherlands, and the owner told me that although his store is on the site, these releases are going to be US-only. He told his distribitors are trying to get them, but he couldn't guarantee succes...

apart from utrecht, other store are added to the list aswell:

NetherlandsConcerto Amsterdam VISIT WEBSITE
Plato UTRECHT VISIT WEBSITE
Plato Apeldoorn Apeldoorn VISIT WEBSITE
Plato Deventer Deventer VISIT WEBSITE
Plato Enschede Enschede VISIT WEBSITE
Plato Groningen Groningen VISIT WEBSITE
Plato Leiden Leiden VISIT WEBSITE
Plato Zwolle Zwolle VISIT WEBSITE

as we speak, the records are shipped to the store near you.

Thanks, will try Leiden or Amsterdam. See you in a month!

Rough Trade posted these images which may/may not be the 45 covers?!#$

^these are the covers alright.

I am so excited for this! Hopefully I can hit FBC on Saturday, and uh, hopefully they've got a copy left.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant to an insane degree.

More Rough Trade:

There are two exclusives for this year’s Record Store Day that are ridiculously limited. They are the Sonic Youth/Beck split 7 and the Sonic Youth/Jay Reatard split 7 and we only have a handful of each so to be fair to everyone we’ll be running a raffle.

From 10am we’ll be giving out raffle tickets (one per person), We’ll draw the raffle at 4pm and if your number is called you’ll be able to buy one of these future collectors items.



Cunts!

lol you win a chance to buy something? lame....

Is that the definative 'The Sonic Youth' I'm reading?

Lame.

I was looking forward to saturday too, but I won't even be able to buy the fucking things now.

Yeah. Very dumb idea.

The result of this draw is going to be that people who wouldn't have thought if wanting the 7" if it was sold as normal will put their names into the draw, and the basic laws of chance say that the people who actually want it (e.g. you, me and Toxic Johnny) won't get it, while people who couldn't give a shit will.

I predict that by the end of April, there will be at least ten copies on ebay selling for £30 each. As far as I'm concerned the sellers of those will be more than welcome to shove their shiny 7" discs up their grimy 1/2" orifices.

Yeah, if that's how it works everywhere, I'm not even gonna bother...

Nah, it's only Rough Twat that are running a tombola.

Few.

Rough Trade opening at 10am, finding out at 4pm?
6 hours to wait for the 7" to be handed out?
They're out of their heads?
It is wonderfully ridiculous.
Unless they've opened a room for the fans to wait for the results, with chocolate bars galore, whisky, soda, Aston Villa-West Ham on TV, lots of ashtrays for the nervous ones and the occasional nurse popping in to say "it's a boy"?

how are we going to figure out who is who

Can anyone upload it? thanks

I was speaking to the guy in RPM Newcastle last week about how they were going to handle it, and he wasn't 100% sure but thought it'd be along the lines of "3 Record Store Day purchases per customer", to prevent the first couple of people from buying up everything. I'm planning on getting there for 9am sharp anyway, and will try a couple of the other stores afterwards too...

4 pages and not a single "beck sucks". you people disappoint me. I'm looking for new upstairs neighbors.

beck sucks.

beck sucks.

sex bucks

I hope Beck covers Thurston in adulation and praise and that Thurston covers Beck in three gallons of slurry shit from a near-dead syphilitic whore.

Beck sucks.

this is rembrandt painting showing beck sucking the balls of thurston moore to try and draw out some form of "quality" .

You're all philistines. Beck is- or at least was- a great artist.

beck was "great" like buckcherry was "hard"

buckcherry isn't even worthy of suckin' thurston's cock, though. beck, however, is.

Since Beck sucks so bad, I took my time to let you all know that beck.com had a limited edition of 100 pressed (not the same pressing of the 2500) for sale at 4.99 a piece today. But they are all sold out now to Beck fans. http://www.sammerch.com/product/742/...ic_Youth_Split

Beck fans suck.

... so, uh, thanks for the advance warning? :P

also: i am a beck fan. i do not suck. yr theory is incorrect.

Theyz all jus' jealous.
