Record Store Day 2017 - April 22
 

The list. My picks:

Wipers — Better Off Dead
Nels Cline/Shirley Horn — In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
Spoon — "Hot Thoughts"/"Hot Thoughts (Dave Sitek Remix)"/"Love Letters"
Sun Ra — Discipline 27-II
David Bowie — Cracked Actor (Live Los Angeles 1974)

Apparently there's a new Flaming Lips concept-live album on the docket. Not sure if it will contain new songs or just live Oczy Mlody songs, but Wayne Coyne is calling it "a new album." So. Huh.

Seemed like the soundtracks had the most appeal to me.

link to a full list?

These are the ones that I'm most interested in:

THELONIOUS MONK - Les Liaisons Dangereuses, 1960
CZARFACE - First Weapon Drawn (A Narrated Adventure)
LUNA - Penthouse Deluxe
VARIOUS ARTISTS - Dr. Who and the Pescatons/Sound Effects
FOLLAKZOID FEAT. J. SPACEMAN - London Sessions

If the FLAMING LIPS thingy is real, I'm all about that too.
Also, WIPERS! SPOON!

That's exactly what SoupNazi posted.

pos, go hunting

Piece of shit? "Positively?" Pee on stuff? "Poseur/poser?"

EDIT: Eureka! I found it!

THE FLAMING LIPS - The Flaming Lips Onboard The International Space Station Concert For Peace

shit damn, I'd kill for that Meridith Monk LP.

My recommendation for you USA people:

Bettie Serveert -Damaged Good

this is from their newsletter of yesterday:



And if you promise to be nice and buy that album, then I can peacefully go see them play live tomorrow :)

I love Bettie Serveert!

hahahha, "pos" is Mexican slang for "pues" or "well, then..."

bill evans! lot of cool stuff.

Who cares what a Nazi wants? You're an INTERNET BULLY.

holy shiz - a fake live album from space!!

I'm pretty into the THELONIOUS Monk album -- unlreleased one from freakin' 1960!! That is pretty fucking cool. I almost never actually buy these RSD release, but I *WILL* be buying this one, because I'm certain it will see a wider release.

Also, this one's calling to me... for some reason... no idea why...

Are you being sarcastic or are you genuinely excited? I think it's cool, but if it's just Oczy Mlody songs with a Yoshimi...-style love audience overlay, that sounds like a massive waste of money.

I was being serious. He said it's a montage of actual live audiences played over studio demos. I am hoping for a pre Oczy setlist really. I like that album but it wouldn't make sense in this context in my opinion.

the G Fibbers one looks great, too.

Well, looks like we'll both be disappointed.
It's "seven Oczy Mlody tracks." Remixed, it sounds like.

Here, I didn't even see this until just now, but Pitchfork reported on in a couple days ago:

Record Store Day kinda sucks, tbh.

oh. That's way less exciting.

Damn, I completely missed that one. Thanks for mentioning it! I shall try to get it...

From Under The Radar:

I let the "crowd" have first pickings and slept in. Did show up eventually and got a copy of Super Furry Animals.

got the Meridith Monk '71

I read about this. Kember's been making the rounds on message boards and stuff, telling the story of "professional Spacemen 3 rapist" Palmer.

He's not a very eloquent chap, Kember. At least not in his written messages, which could easily be the work of an eight-grader.

Still, I won't be doing my beloved Spacemen any damage by purchasing any of their RSD treats. Not that I'm going to be buying ANY RSD treats. Fuck RSD. I hate the mobs and all the stupid shit. I'll get the Prince EP when it comes out legally ( ;) ) and I'll get the Flaming Lips thing later on eBay or something. I forget what else I wanted. Oh! The Thelonious Monk thing! Yeah! But that's out already, so... fuck it.

Anyway, I do have a LOT of Spacemen 3 booty, and I wonder if all of it is legit. I have a couple re-issues that I believe are from Space Age (I'd have to check to be sure) so I'm kinda wondering if I haven't already participated in the unwitting rape-by-proxy of one of my best bands.

BTW: Spacemen 3 have to have one of the greatest band logos of all time, don't you think?



Jesus that's good fucking design.

Neat-o! I got the Nels Cline/Shirley Horn 7" (not a collaboration, obviously, since Horn is dead and Nels is far too classy to do some "Unforgettable" bullshit) and of course the 3-song Spoon Hot Thoughts 12". Bitchen...

Crowded as all possibly at my little local, had some great conversations while waiting for it to open, everyone was really cool and everyone appeared to have a great time. Good to see people respectfully crowding! Plus, GOT THE MERIDITH MONK 1971 REMASTER!!
