Taking the place of the former Pop Tarts Suck Toasted, sort of and in a limited way, with some posts about music, some Instagram photos, and some other crap few people will ever care about. Welcome to my world.
While we are still 149-days away from Record Store Day 2012, the organizers of the event have poured there all in trying to lure you away from department stores and into your local independent record shops on Black Friday. Like most of you I shy away from shopping on the most awful of all unofficial holidays, and make it my goal to Christmas shop almost entirely online, but record shopping can trump all of those goals and lure me away from leftover turkey sandwiches to snag some of the goodies these guys are selling.  Having poured over the list of records being released for this event I’ve singled out three amazing additions to my collection that will be topping my shopping list next Friday, and I may just buy extras to start giving out as gifts as well…  The Beatles 7” Vinyl Box Set, featuring: “Ticket to Ride”/”Yes It Is”, “Hey Jude”/”Revolution”, “Something/”Come Together”, & “Yellow Submarine”/”Elanor Rigby” (10,000 copies US)  Nivrana Nevermind - The Singles, 10” Vinyl Box Set, featuring:  “Smells Like Teen Spirit”/”Drain You”/”Even in His Youth”/”Aneurysm”, “Come As You Are”/”Endless, Nameless”/”School (live)”/”Drain You (live)”, “Lithium”/”Been A Son (live)”/”Curmudgeon”/”D-7” (taken from a John Peel Session), “In Bloom”/”Silver (live)”/”Polly (live)” (5,000 copies US)  Pink Floyd The Wall, 7” Vinyl Box Set, featuring:  “Another Brick in the Wall”/”One of My Turns”, “Comfortably Numb”/”Hey You”, “Run Like Hell”/”Don’t Leave Me Now” (7,500 copies US) So yeah, that’s what I’m looking forward to doing on my birthday - scrambling for three limited edition box sets from bands that have been long gone for ages. Oh, and there is one 7” from a contemporary musician I’m interested in as well…  Craig Finn  “Honolulu Blues”/”Rented Room” 7”, which is of course the first solo music to be officially release by Finn.
