Not sure if this has been mentioned but I was delightfully surprised to see Sonic Youth's cassette-only track on the vinyl reissue of "No Alternative" for Record Store Day. Same version of "Burning Spear" as this.

That album is killer. The Beasties track is insane....

I also picked up the RSD release

FYI "Pirates Press" is a record manufacturing company. Not some clue or anything.

Sonelab Studio posted this to facemook today:

(J) Bill Nace and Kim Gordon were at Sonelab today. We finished mixing their forthcoming Body/Head record. It's fab.

Not from Motto freakin' Books! Those sons of bitches sent me a shipping confirmation e-mail the day after I ordered the number - a month later I still hadn't received jack. I contacted them THREE times over a two-week-or-so period and they didn't reply to ANY of my messages, even though on the first two I was simply asking if it was normal for a package from them to take this long to arrive (on the third message I basically said OK, that's it, I request a refund). Today I got wicked pissed and went directly to PayPal to file a claim; a coupla minutes after I did so, whaddayaknow, Motto woke the fuck up and finally issued a refund. Dismal abject wretched experience.

Anyway, it turns out The Wire is selling this baby as well. I've had positive experiences ordering from their website in the past and so that's what I did.

SLAM single #1 features Lee Ranaldo covering Tim Rogers (You Am I). Available for download when you pledge $10 AUD or for $45 AUD you can get it on 7"...

That's £30 for a 7"!

Mono Konsum still has it in stock as well. As I mentioned before, I ordered my copy from there after I had an insane amount of trouble with Motto Books. Sorry you ran into problems with them. I'm now feeling glad I took another route and could add this to the collection in the end, even though it seems they delivered Stu's copy in a heartbeat.

As I have said earlier, I don´t order straight from those small companies anymore. If you can´t stop doing it, I think you should stop complaining about how those work.

Sheesh, thanks for the support, man...
:confused:

This is really cool, highly recommended document. Picked up my copy at No 8 @ the Ace Hotel. nice job, they must've had a lot of fun with this.

I like the color illustration of the art gallery wall covered with Kim's work. The strength becomes more apparent when I see all of them together, rather than one at a time.

Richard Kern - Shot by Kern (Book/DVD)

As with Kern's last TASCHEN book, "Action, Shot By Kern" comes with an hour long video, shot and edited by Kern, with original music by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, because, like Kern's models, the modern world is always in motion.

OK. Updated info related to the Lee Ranaldo Barcelona's acoustic recordings.

Release expected in October 2013. Vinyl and digital download only.

It's the actual Lee Ranaldo Band playing some acoustic versions of the "Between the times.." + some new songs + some covers of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Sandy Denny and The Monkees.

Regards.

According to this there will be a new Body/Head double LP out later this year on Matador Records. http://www.groundcontroltouring.com/artists/kim-gordon

Info stolen from Feeding Tube Records' facemook:



Thurston Moore / John Moloney
"Acting The Maggot (Caught On Tape)" 12"
Edition of 120
Hand Painted Covers by Ted Eel

I really don´t want to know how high the price is...

Does somebody already have this?

I'd be curious to find out what the David Yow thing is like

I have it, it's now at a friend's place getting transferred to 24/96 FLAC.

Thanx, maybe I have it someday also...

I ordered it, I got notification that it shipped a couple weeks ago. It should arrive any day now....

any day now....

CLM plan to record a new EP this summer.

Great news!

That indeed is wonderull news ...

At the CLM-gig in Trix last night, they sold a CD-version of 'Acting Maggot (Caught on Tape 2)'. The vinyl was also on sale, but the last (and only??) copy was sold right before my eyes unfortunately.
I also found it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj1ofYdthL4 Don't know if it has already been posted here.



Also bought this one: 'Irish-American Prayer' by Thurston Moore / John Moloney

was that the limited edition vinyl, with hand painted sleeve numbered 51 out of 120? I was the one that bought it :)
I still have no idea what it exactly is as there's no title on the cover and I haven't opened it yet.
They are only selling one or two copies a night, so if you go see them on this tour, and you want it, get to the merch desk first thing and reserve it.

Hey, you weren't supposed to see me, I was wearing my Disappears shirt. Seems like the magic spell has worn out after washing too many times....

I didn't see the number on it, but I guess it was that one. Lucky you I must confess :)
It's the 'Acting Maggot (Caught On Tape)'-vinyl ... enjoy!
I won't see them again on this tour, so I guess I'll keep a close eye on Discogs and/or Feeding Tube Records in the future.

And the shirt is still working in a way ... I saw the vinyl Disappears right before my eyes :)

Got this wednesday. The package is just great, great drawings & really beautiful two-coloured vinyls! Music is also ok, but only really great is Dumb Numbers that I´m going to listen more!
