I can't wait.

Definite:
Xiu Xiu/Dirty Beaches split
Deerhoof/of Montreal split
The OF Tape Vol. 2 vinyl.

If the price is right:
Devo - Live In Seattle 1981
Atmosphere and the Uncluded picture disc.

I'll be buying Death Grips - The Money Store as well, but that's not an exclusive .

I really hate record store day. They say it's to support indie stores, but nearly every RSD release has been on ebay at an insane markup for a week or so now. I mean, I'm still in, because I'd eat catfood for a month before I'd miss out on some sick wax, but I think the whole idea has just gotten a little skewed.

That said:

Regina Spektor Molitva/Stariy Pedjak 7"
Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra Polly/Idioteque 7"
Bonnie Prince Billy Hummingbird 10" LP
Joan Baez Farewell Angelina LP (not really a high priority, but neat, and I love joan)
Preteen Zenith Preteen Zenith LP
Deerhoof / of Montreal split 7"
ABBA Voulez-Vous Extended Dance Remix 12" (this is probably the one I'm the most stoked for, I'm ashamed to say. I mean, come on. An ABBA classic on GLITTER BLUE VINYL®®®®? How can you not love that like a glittery blue waxy child?)


I might try to get in on that white stripes single, too. I'm a fan, but not really so much that I collect thier singles. That said, all their wax is usually pretty collectible (third man vault mono edition of icky thump, anyone?) so if I can get in on one without breaking the bank or screwing over a bigger fan it might be worth my while.

My wallet fucking hates me right now. I've been saving for a while, and I am now essentially flat broke. I can't take inventory at the moment, but I got, among others:

Odd Future
Cursive
Gambino (Heartbeat and Camp)
White Stripes
Atmosphere
Lydia Loveless
Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr
Lana Del Rey
Little Richard
Florence + the Machine
Jimmy Fallon
Lou Reed (Transformer)
Patti Smith
Breakfast Club
Feist/Mastodon
Afrika Bambaataa/MC5
Regina Spektor (Begin to Hope)
Fleetwood Mac
Bruno Mars (my mom is a fan)
The Civil Wars (Billie Jean and the live CD)
... and more

On the used end, I picked up two Mott the Hoople albums and a Zager + Evans single.

well, i did get the new bonnie prince billy 10 inch, i like to think that falls into the 7 percent non-horseshit.

it was a thin year for good stuff though, i will say that.

I'll agree with this.

It's my first RSD in New York and good god! People here are nuts. I went to three record stores about an hour after they all opened, looking for Destroyer and St. Vincent and all were sold out everywhere. I turned up with nothing!

Oh yeah, you've got to get up early to get your records around here. I was in line outside Princeton Record Exchange an hour before they opened and still didn't get the Flaming Lips or White Stripes. But I got Destroyer, mclusky, the Baseball Project and the Stooges' Raw Power reissue, so I'm happy enough.

i managed to get the bonnie prince billy, then also the wake 2 LP set, phish junta deluxe w/ pollock print (total purchase of opportunity) and then arctic monkey, st vincent, beach house, white stripes, flaming lips/mastodon, the bsaeball project, of montreal/deerhoof, blitzen trapper 7 inches and i think that's it.

I got these, as well as some free stuff. My store didn't get the Death Grips album, so I have to wait on that.

...the wake 2 LP set...

My friend Eifion who you met in Manchester last year had me on the lookout for this but the only record shop within a reasonable distance is about 6 feet by 10 feet in area, and had a very limited stock. They'd sold out of the Wedding Present 10" I was after by the time I got there too.

---

"You know it is, it really is."

Waited for 2 and a half hours before we even got to look at the vinyl. I only ended up with mclusky, the Baseball Project and the Of Montreal split. No Flaming Lips Heady Fwends or Lullaby Smiths.

---

I've got big plans. ◊ Talking Blanket ◊ Yay, Butts! LOL!

didn't bother this year - there was nothing on the lists (either side of the pond) that i really cared about.

which is a shame.

let's get dressed up in costumes and dance by the bar.

ahh dude, I was just about to ask, was it just me or was this rsd pretty shitty. im glad im not the only one with a hard heart

As someone who has never before had the opportunity to experience the magic of Record Store Day, I was just overjoyed to have the experience and bolster my collection, but I do recall previous RSDs having superior stuff.

Damn, I wish I had a Flaming Lips/Mastodon 7", but my store only got one copy and the odds were not ever in my favor. Also regretting not buying that T. Rex set when I had the chance. (Though to be fair, it was pricey.) Alas. Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset. Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Yes, we have no bananas. *sobs*

OH, yeah! What was that Bonnie release? It was new stuff, right?

Did this come with a download card, by the way? Not that it really matters when it comes to buying the thing, just curious.

Y'all must be rich!

Why's everyone in this thread a f***ing Mountain Goats fan?!

Kirkeby Kritikk • Kvitter

that reminds me, did anyone get that animal collective thing?

Didn't get a single release this year.

I have bids online in for a few of the things that I wanted, but I still can't find that fucking ABBA 12" for less than €50. It was definitely a regional release limited to parts of Europe. Fuck Polar Music with a rusty chainsaw for that.

I should be embarrased that I really want that 12", but I'm not in the least. GILTTER BLUE VINYL, MOFOS.

Now that's just embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you.

Dude, it's the extended dance remix of voulez-vous on GILTTER BLUE VINYL. If you're embarrassed for me for appreciating that, then I pity you. I cannot express how unbelievably awesome GLITTER BLUE VINYL is.

And just for the record, I shout GLITTER BLUE VINYL in real life, too.
