Anyone who missed out on TY REX should check the Goner Records online store for the next few days. There were tons of copies in-store, and I doubt they'll sell out by the end of the day.
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.

I thought I missed my chance on everything, since I'm visiting Seattle (actually in the airport to go home now) and the record store I chose to go to, Georgetown Records, didn't actually have any stuff. I bought some records from them, but as they're a mostly used shop they didn't get any special record store day records.  The super nice people there, though, gave me a bunch of swag and are shipping my records as well as stuff from Fantagraphics back home for me.

But then I totally scored Thee Oh Sees singles comp, a Davids Town, and a Moves single, from Everyday Music and Wall of Sound elsewhere in town. Sonic Boom was picked over, dry as a bone by noon.

I actually had heard a record store employee looking for a Davids Town with a customer--but then I found it in a bin they had not yet scoured. Dog eat dog world, my friend. But I had to make sure to ship it back to myself from a FedEx Kinko's, to keep it from falling into enemy hands.

I have a lot of forthcoming praise for the FOTs who gave me Seattle advice.

I didn't pick up any exclusives or new pressings or anything. But I got caught up on some stuff I was lacking like Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain by Pavement; In on the Kill Taker by Fugazi; and Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective.

I got my hands on a turntable last Tuesday, it was broken but I repaired it using scissors, super glue and tape. I wish my iPod was so easily fixed. Record Store Day marked the my first day of buying records and this is what I bagged...

  • Big Star - Third
  • Fucked Up - David's Town
  • Clinic - Ladies Night (10")
  • Arctic Monkeys - Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair / Brick by Brick (7" white label)

I was out doing volunteer work yesterday, so I missed out on the RSD festivities.

However, I was able to find a copy of the Skip James LP I wanted online.

13th Floor Elevators - Wait for my love 7" (it took me going to 4 stores around Sacramento to find this one, but i wasn't giving up!)
The Black Angels - Phosgene Nightmare 10"
The Black Angels - Another Nice Pair LP
Fucked Up - David's Town LP
New Pornographers - Moves 7" (so awesome they included a download of the video!)
Off! - live at generation records 7"
Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar 7"
Superchunk / Coliseum - split 7" (clear purple vinyl)
Vivian Girls - I Heard You Say 7"
Wild Flag - Future Crimes 7"

these last two years have been great Record Store Days. I already can't wait for next year!

For folks like me who missed the Ty Rex 12", Goner has it for sale on their website. Dunno how many they have or how long they'll last, so I'd suggest grabbing it now if you're interested.

Edit: It's not easy to find on the site, so here's the link: http://www.goner-records.com/cart/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=segall+ty+rex
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

That's awesome.  At my record store, they only allowed you to buy 3 items from the RSD Exclusives bin.  Even then, it was really picked over by the time I got up and I was only the 24th person in.

I went to the Princeton Record Exchange and got...

Fucked Up - David's Town
Grinderman - Evil and Palaces of Montezuma
The New Pornographers - Moves
Superchunk/Coliseum split (yellow vinyl)
The White Stripes - Let's Shake Hands and Lafayette Blues

And while I was there I also picked up a cheap used copy of ABBA Gold, which was obviously worth every penny.
