Record Store Day Question

[Brian_Wallace]

I'm not even sure what the "holy grail" items will be this year.

Is that Pink Floyd record rare?  People go ape-sh*t for Springsteen so that one will probably be prized.
I don't think there's a Beatles record.  That Radiohead single isn't on any list.  I'm guessing the true music geeks will want that Big Star record.  Younger people will go for "Hormoaning" by Nirvana even though they've heard all those songs on "Incesticide."

[James Ford]

By "younger people" do you mean people in the 35-45 age range who grew up on Nirvana? As opposed to the AARP people who would want the other stuff?

I'm bummed there's no Panic! At the Disco record.  They JUST put out a new album.

Don't know how they all decide who puts out what but you'd think it would be a broad selection. Something for everyone to get as many people involved as possible. Then again, maybe we're only seeing what the media selects for us to see. Not so much out of control but purely out of personal picking and choosing what to report.

guess i'm a true music geek!

Score one for team USA! Even Brian should like this one. Just a shame that most of us can't attend.

I'm not even sure what the "holy grail" items will be this year.

The holy grail item is the Oxbow 'King Of The Jews' LP.

[killsaly]

That should be the holy grail.

10 Must-Have Releases for Record Store Day

the daft punk disk looks sweet.  bad braaaaaaaaaains....

PRO: This is what I'm talking about!  New, unreleased stuff.  Not all re-issues.

CON:  I predict several, tragic, hipster Who-in-Cincinnati catastrophes.  I mean, 2000 copies?!!  And a given store MAY only get two or three!?!?  And you thought getting Death Cab For Cutie tickets was hard....

Brian

According to their website this new, unreleased Radiohead single will only be available in the U.K. tomorrow (just reinforcing that the UK's Record Store Day is 20 times better than the US one):

So no entitled hipster violence in acquiring one, OK?.  A liberal arts education and a nice import when you turn 17 shouldn't make you that angry.  There will be a live Pink Floyd album available tomorrow so just smoke a jay and CHILL OUT, MAN!

It says it will be out in the States on June 14th.

According to Rolling Stone: "The Best Record Stores in the USA"

[StoneTheCrow]

The True Vine?  Never been there myself.  Anyone shop there? 

[sweetcell]

so, any tales of stampedes?  hipsters crushed to death inside the stores?  tales of alienation and human suffering because they sold their one copy of <insert name holy-grail record here> before you could get to the counter?  any hot chicks???

[nkotb]

No. No. Yes. No.

[Justin Tonation]

Damn. Damn. Sucks to be them. Then why the fuck even bother?

No. No. Yes. No.
