She thinks I'm a haughty!

I really want that pink record... but not "$49 dollars" want that record... Mondo better not just do their stupid release and better give us options like this... now I'm sad.

Styx and Split Enz both put out records in the 80s with playable etchings. I'm not sure why TMR are touting this as an innovation.

Third Man changed the description on their site. It now says:

"This is an entirely different process (and look) from your Styx and Split Enz records from the 80’s. No lasers, holograms, or rainbows are involved in this playable etching."

That seems slightly less awful now that I know its a double LP. But still a little more than I should spend now.

all dipped in the most soothing folk vibe imaginable.

hey fire_shall_come do you like other experimental folk like Eyeless in Gaza? That is like the perfect autumn/winter music for me.

The worst part is that even the scraps and filler that Douglas P considers fit to reissue generally wholesale for what I would consider to be above-average retail prices, meaning prices once stores put their markup on them fall squarely into "gently caress that" territory, especially considering that it's rarely the good stuff.


Also, if it's your first venture into DiJ territory, But What Ends When the Symbols Shatter? is a good intro for their neofolk phase. Someone else can give you a rundown of the industrial albums since I'm not as fond of or well versed in those. They're like any number of similar acts in that a lot of the shock value is simply that and a lot of what you might be led to believe is deep is simply cribbed from some pseudo-esoteric source that allows the band to feel intelligent, kinda like how sci-fi authors love to use obscure or high-brow epigraphs at the beginning of chapters.

Doesn't help that since he is gay he would be led to the gas chambers immediately.

But even his new albums go for $40, its ridiculous. And you will never ever get a good deal from eBay, even if it's not Buy It Now (good luck finding an auction though)

None of those people look very excited to have a new record.

edit: Since the mail came I'm very excited for my new records!

Coil - Gold is the Metal



and

Coil - Autumn Equinox: Amethyst Deceivers

It was unopened and unplayed so I had to put it on immediately...



I will not stop until I have one of every Coil release on vinyl and CD.

This burrito is delicious, but it is filling.
Speaking of gimmick records, I was listening to Caesar Franck, Symphony in D minor. Leopold Stokowski conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra today, and when I got to the end of the symphony I flipped over to what would have been the 12th side and found this awesome embossed pattern. Nice touch.

No, but I will get that too (almost certainly the red vinyl, the clear is probably well out of my price range).

Speaking of rather expensive records, I got an email from Coptic Cat today saying that there will be an edition of 39 copies of Current 93's Lucifer over London accompanied by a line drawing by David Tibet on sale for £193.

Dmitri-9: i do enjoy the expirimental folk stuff, bit of current 93, der blutharsch, zero karma, agnivolok etc.

one of the first album i heard was brown book and that is one of the stranger sounding releases, it has a very odd mix but i still love it. the trouble with douglas is he doesn't just rerelease things he has to go rererererererererelease it in more elaborate and over the top packaging its getting ridiculous.

Just got these two in the mail today:



Satanic Satanist is a bit warped I think... it was a combined order with a set of headphones so Amazon shipped everything in a big box rather than in their special LP packaging. There's about one quadrant of it that undulates when it plays. It sounds perfectly fine to my ears, though. Is this normal? If not, is there a way to fix it or should I just return it?

Anyway, pretty stoked. Now I'm only missing Waiter: "You Vultures!" and Censored Colors.

it also came on purple transparent vinyl, but it didn't show up well on my phone's camera so I didn't bother with taking a picture.

Were these expensive? I wanted to pick up some Portugal: the Man albums but I remember seeing that several were small presses and one in particular was going for 100 dollars.

I dunno, they're all over the place. My absolute favourite is Satanic Satanist but In the Mountain, In the Cloud is also really solid. They're more poppy, I guess, but if you like a southern tinge to your music, Church Mouth is hands-down the best.

Well, that probably didn't help at all!

I was already leaning towards In the Mountain Cloud. I was pretty much wondering if they have any specific album that's like "If you don't like this, you're not going to get into this band".

If you like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J8d18ZkXE8&ob=av2e, Get Mountain/Cloud.

If you like neither, you probably won't like this band. Band owns though, and while it's not necessarily intricate packaging, their LPs always have sweet artwork.

Both of my copies of Satanic Satanist from Amazon were warped. That was the only bad experience I've had with vinyl from Amazon.

Edit: I sent them both back. The warping was too much.
Edit 2: Just purchased Satanic Satanist, Censored Colors, and American Ghetto from Equal Vision for $50.

I discovered him when I noticed he was selling a copy of Mellon Collie for the bargain price of $2099. He's selling some CocoRosie 7" for $400 that someone else is for £3.

New Mount Eerie - "To the Ground" 7" preorder is up here: http://www.atelierciseaux.com/shop.php?lang=en

300 copies only. I love this song - it was on a Japan benefit last year, but I think this is a re-recorded new version based on the sample at the interview over here: http://en.blogotheque.net/2012/04/02/to-the-ground-listen-to-mount-eeries-new-7/



Getting really excited about all the new Mount Eerie stuff coming out this year. Phil does the best vinyl releases of his own stuff.
