Record Store Day 4/20

Yada, what's the Blind Melon record you got?

Love the Arlington CD Cellar. It also serves as a great concert venue. A few members of a couple of the better local bands (IMO) (Foul Swoops and Cigarette) work there.

I swore off RSD, but caved in again.
I started at CD Cellar in Falls Church, about 25th back in the line. It was a bit manic when they opened and just let everyone in, but I managed to get:
Shuggie
P.i.l.
Nick Drake
Sly
Cal Tjader
The staff there is always friendly and chill (Arlington too).
I really wanted that Fela lp, so I headed over to Blue Groove Soundz - they had it, but most items were not priced and no browsing. It was only when you finally got to the register did you get the price - $26 for the Bowie single and $19 for the Nick Cave single!  I slunked out of there with the Fela, but that will be my last visit to that place.

I often shop at Blue Groovz, but they are very expensive.  I usually wait until they do 20% or more sale before I will consider walking in the door.  They have good hip hop, jazz and soul there, at least the best I have seen in the area.  Their record store day prices are crazy, but everyone seems to be.  The White Stripes Elephant was $80 at CD Cellar.  Sheesh!

Self titled... Also included on Side D is an EP called Sippin Time Sessions.

Wish I would have known about that one!  Love it.

Anyone get the "mystery release" single?

Yep.  Crooked Beat still had a bunch of them late Saturday night.

Spotify has the Blind Melon sippin' time sessions!  next best thing to owning it.

I'd be willing to say Blind Melon is one of the best bands of 90's. Their one hit was both a blessing and a curse, but I bet most people haven't even heard their other releases which are damn near perfect albums.

Their self-titled album will always hold a special place in my heart.  Heard about them about 6 months before No Rain hit the radio.  Their other releases are also wonderful.  Totally agree they're one of the best.

I want to thank Vas for scoring me a copy of 333 yesterday.  I heard Sound Garden had several copies, and he was able to snag us both one on his way home! What a class act! Now I have my first and second choices for RSD in my collection. 

[Vas Deferens]

lots of copies of Flaming Lips' Zaireeka at Sound Garden....don't think very many people bought that one.
