Happy Record Store Day!

How'd everybody make out?

There ain't a record in the world I want enough to stand in that line at amoeba today.  Hoping against hope that they have some David's Town LPs left at the end of the day.

The only Record Store Day exclusives are the Big Star and Televisio. But I also got the Rocket from the Crypt 7", The Ronnettes 7", and 2 OOP Oblivians 10"

Had to pass on the Television, and missed the boat on the Big Star.

That Music Machine/RFTC single is excellent, btw.

BTW, how do I make this pic show up as a pic?

You hit that mona lisa button up there and put the direct link between the things.

Looks like you made off nice, Paul!

Didn't buy any exclusive stuff, but I picked up Dream Syndicate and Dead Moon live LPs.

I skipped out on standing out in the rain this morning but hit up the Numero Group's pop-up store here in Chicago. They were out of LP copies of their exclusive release for today so I picked it up on CD. Also picked up the amazing Syl Johnson Anthology on LP. Can't recommend it enough. Could've spent all day digging in the crates but I wanted to get home to watch the playoffs.

K, figured it out, thanks.
Stuck to exclusives, got the Off!, Bad Brains, Stones, & Cults 45s. The lp was a limited edition (300 copies) RSD comp of Vancouver/Victoria bands put out by Mint Records & CiTR radio (note the Destroying head of the totem lol). CDs were a stack of freebies. It was a good day.

Anyone get the Ty Segall Ty Rex or New Pornographers 7". My stores had neither. They said Record Store Day is unfair and wildly unreliable and never to get your hopes up for anything.

Jackpot.

Also, Numero Group has a fantastic live stream going on all day today. Nothing but great stuff.

No dice on Pornographers or Ty Rex either, but I was told weeks ago that there wasn't a hope for either.

My numero comp is coming Tuesday. Wish I coulda got that 13th Floor Elevators. Wish I coulda afforded the Big Star record....

That Alexei Sayle record cracks me up, Martin. I'm a few weeks behind on Best Show, and I just listened to the bit that references Get Carter, and I immediately had that song in my head, for the first time in many, many years. I forgot about the Kray Twins pic sleeve!

We had lots of local in-stores, and this guy, who was really funny, and poignant, in more or less the style of early Dylan.

I didn't buy anything, but I drop about 50 bucks a month in there as it is.

I got the New Pornographers 7", Superchunk/Coliseum split 7", and David's Town LP. No Ty Rex at either of the stores I visited. I did buy a Ty Segall live LP that was marked as a RSD exclusive but turns out not to be.

The New Pornographers 7" has a digital download not only of both tracks but the video, which is awesome. Unfortunately, the download has crapped out twice in mid-download (it's 300 MB, so it takes awhile), which means I only have 1 attempt left. I'm hoping it's just everyone who bought the 7" trying to download at the same time. I'll wait a day or two to see if I have better luck.

I got the New Pornographers 7" but there wasn't a download code inside. Pretty bummed about that, but I was able to grab a copy of David's Town as well so that makes up for it I guess.
