I just got the reissued version of "Crazy Rhythms" by the Feelies and I can't wait to listen to it today.

Got that one on white vinyl and had them sign it for me a couple years back at the club.  (Of course, Brenda wasn't with them back then but she signed anyway.)

here's a good use for those record and record players :)

see i think that is not the right "play"… you could have had all five sign the second album!

When in Austin…the W seems to be the place

The W Austin is part of a chain which takes music seriously?especially in this fabled music city. Not only can you hang out in the Records Room section of the W Austin Living Room lounge, which has over 8,000 vinyl records, the W also creates custom music mixes available to download on iTunes. The music, both in the Records Room and the iTunes playlist is carefully curated by the W Hotels Global Music Director and mixed by emerging DJs from all over the world.

Anyone score anything good for Record Store Day?

Went to 'the attic' in Pittsburgh - got there about 6:30 am and the line was around the block.
Opened at 8 and everything was alphabetized around the store. Tons of everything, including 2 boxes of the White Stripes' "Get Behind Me Satan" - managed to score one of those, along with the Miles box, the live Sly, On-u sound dub plate, Swans 1st, Elvis acetate, Jaco WB years, Kozelek ac/dc covers, Bee Gees extended mixes and man am I sleepy…happy, though…

There are a couple things I'd love to get my hands on but wasn't willing to camp out for. Sort of regretting it.

i picked up everything i wanted…

Diarrhea Planet / Those Darlins split
Frank OST
Built to Spill's new LP
Jurassic Park OST (not RSD release but fuck it)

Social D self-titled
Stooges live
Getz/Gilberto 10"
Replacements 10"

Luna have announced a box set compiling their five albums from the '90s called Luna: Long Players (92-99). In addition to the five reissued vinyl LPs, the box set will contain a sixth record, called Rarities, that compiles demos and B-sides. The box set will come in late fall/early winter via Captured Tracks.



The box set also features a 12x12 book with an interview with Dean Wareham conducted by director Noah Baumbach. Wareham and Baumbach have worked together in the past, with Wareham providing music for Baumbach's 2005 film The Squid and the Whale, and acting in 2013's Frances Ha.

Dean Wareham formed Luna in 1992 following the breakup of his former band, Galaxie 500. Luna broke up in 2004, but reunited late last year and went on a brief European tour. The band will continue the reunion tour with a new string of dates to accompany the box set.

Luna: Long Players (92-99) box set:

Lunapark (1992)
Bewitched (1994)
Penthouse (1995)
Pup Tent (1997)
The Days of Our Nights (1999)

Rarities:

01 Egg Nog (from Time 7", 1992)
02 Indian Summer (Beat Happening cover from Slide EP, 1993)
03 Ride Into the Sun (The Velvet Underground cover from Slide EP, 1993)
04 That's What You Always Say (The Dream Syndicate cover from Slide EP, 1993)
05 Anesthesia (pre-Elektra Records demo, 1991)
06 In the Flesh (Blondie cover from In the Flesh 7", 1997)
07 Bonnie and Clyde (Serge Gainsbourg cover, Penthouse bonus track)
08 I Know You Tried (unreleased demo from Bewitched sessions)
09 Roll in the Sand (from Outdoor Miner 7", 1996)
10 Dear Paulina (from Dear Paulina 7", 1999)

Funny how they might move back to Plaza del Mercado, which is where I first shopped them. Maybe Bobby Rencher could work for them again.

Luna:

lovely…i already have penthouse , pup tent and bewitched (test pressing)….

much as i love luna i can't see myself springing for this..its going to be way pricey….and just sit on a shelf.. moreover, i predict a few months later they'll reissue the individual titles..penthouse, which is the one people really want, for sure….

romantica and rendezvous have way grown on me…i don't consider the first one luna..

i know what they think..that i'll break down and get it for the rarities disc but i think they are wrong..

Seriously? That would be great.

Was where I first shopped them as well. Was Bobby the one who opened Phantasmagoria?

is this the Bobby from Smash? or a different Bobby?

Hutch I never did locate those LPs for you but I do have one you can have.  It is from a band named American Aquarium.  It's a signed test pressing of their latest release that they gave to people who donated at the higher levels in their crowd funding effort.  If you would like to have this let me know and we can make arrangements to get it to you.  I'd prefer it go to someone who is into vinyl such as you.
