SY and Beck cover each other
 

From Pitchfork:

The few, the proud, the independent record stores. With the rest of the economy joining the music business in a perilous free fall, indie shops are getting hit hard right now. But help is on the way in the form of the second annual Record Store Day, which will be celebrated April 18 at mom and pop favorites around the country. As an incentive to get customers into the shops, Matador is releasing several sweet limited edition vinyl specials.
There's a 7" with Sonic Youth covering Beck's "Pay No Mind" on the A-side and Beck doing SY's "Green Light on the flip, a previously unreleased LP of a 1997 Pavement gig from Cologne, Germany and another 7" with Jay Reatard's "Hang Them All" on the top and Sonic Youth's "No Garage" on bottom. Start drooling.
Only 2,500 copies of each record will be available at participating Record Store Day spots, so plan your camp-out accordingly. Nice and orderly-like:

want

I will pay good cash money to anyone who can grab me one or both of those.

Oh. My. God.

oh fuck...my local record store does participates and most of them don't like SY. I'm set.

Fuck. I NEED to find these.

Now that I've had a moment to calm down: "Pay No Mind" is a brilliant track. And probably one of the strangest choices for SY. So I'm super, super excited. And what the fuck is "No Garage" ???

Here's a list of last years? this years? participating stores....

I spoke to a buyer at work..and apparently this next year more stores are doing it than 2008. Stores apparently have to order these just like they would any other piece of product...

in bed.

i wanna hear this!

I need to hear this!!

APRIL 18TH

Fucking A! It's not US-only, and there's a participating store in Newcastle :) Sweet!

Green Light really suits Beck, and pay no mind is like T's acoustic works

Oh, coolly coolly cool cool - One of my local stores is gonna have them too (according to the "participating stores" list). I'm gonna have to give them a call and get a copy reserved.

you mean 2 copies :D, right?

To be honest, if there's 2500 copies of each, I can't see them being too hard to get hold of, even if you're not close to a participating store (though it might mean paying slightly more on eBay or something) - there were 1500 white copies of the Erase Errata split, and they're still pretty easy to find for about $5-$10.

that is awesome.

there are like 20 participating venues in michigan. im gunna buy like 5 of each.

yes!! utrecht has one!

does anyone know when i can 'order' it a the shop?
