We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Got some vinyls through the mail recently. Picked up Michael Kiwanuka's album and an 7" single from London. Also got Portugal. The Man's "Majestic Majesty" on vinyl which I didn't know existed.
Need to make it out to the record store but when I go there I end up spending way too much.
I'm looking to get a record player, but I know nothing about them. Point me in the direction of where I can find a good one and also not spend too much money.

I got one of those crappy "old fashioned looking" things when I first wanted a record player a few years back. I thought it was cool and when I got it home I tried to plug in headphones and the headphone jack fell into the box and was unusable. The audio wasn't great either. Do not get one of those crappy ones. Get a turntable and speakers. I returned the crappy one immediately.

This year's annual Record Store Day recently unveiled Jack White as its ambassador, and now we know a few of the titles that White and other vinyl junkies will be lining up for on April 20.
Grammy magnets The Black Keys are covering Iggy and the Stooges' seminal track "No Fun" for a split 7" backed by the original version. The orange and red sunburst vinyl is limited to 7,000 copies. Never ones to pass up the opportunity for hard-to-find release, The Flaming Lips are reissuing their 1997 sonic experiment "Zaireeka" in a limited-edition vinyl set. The infamous "Zaireeka" is comprised of four records which are to be played simultaneously on four turntables.
Deftones are using RSD to inaugurate their new Live vinyl series with a set containing cuts from their debut album "Adrenaline," recorded live in Buffalo, New York, in 1996.
Indie rock vets Built to Spill are also going the live route, dropping a reissue of their 2000 live album as a limited (2,500 copies) double LP.
Iron & Wine are unveiling two exclusive new tracks -- “Next to Paradise” and “Dirty Ocean” -- on 7" wax limited to just 3,300 copies.
Likewise, only 1,000 fans will be able to get their hands on Gary Clark Jr.'s "HWUL Raw Cuts Vol. 2? 12?, featuring live and studio recordings of “When My Train Comes In."
David Bowie is releasing his first album in over ten years in March, and will follow it with an RSD 7" featuring "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" and "Where Are We Now?"
For the date-appropriate 4:20 crowd, Willie Nelson is teaming with Snoop Dogg, Jamey Johnson and Kris Kristofferson for "Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die," which will appear on -- what else? -- green vinyl.
Meanwhile, Mumford & Sons, will drop “Live At Bullmoose” on both vinyl and, somewhat curiously, CD. Phish frontman Trey Anastasio will release ”Blue Ash & Other Suburbs” on limited picture disc.
Previously announced RSD exclusive releases include efforts from Best Coast, G. Love and Special Sauce, Grizzly Bear, At the Drive-In, and a whole lot of others. More info can be found here.

Hoping to pick up that Deftones, as well as the Mad Season Above reissue, the White Stripes Elephant reissue, and The Black Keys/Iggy split.

Just a heads up, The Black Keys' cover of No Fun is on the vinyl edition of The Big Come Up. That press release makes it sound like it's a new recording for RSD. If you're just interested in owning that cover on vinyl, you might be better served picking up the full LP. Unless you're interested in the 7" as a collector's item.

Third Man Records is as excited as we are proud to announce a once in a lifetime pairing of two of modern music's leading ladies, as Brittany Howard and Ruby Amanfu join forces for the "I Wonder" b/w "When My Man Comes Home" Single (TMR 201).
The new single features the Grammy-nominated Alabama Shakes frontwoman teaming up with the Third Man family member who first caught our ears on Jack White's "Love Interruption" for two reinterpretations of boldly contrasting source material: Side A features their take on "I Wonder," originally performed by Rodriguez, subject of the Oscar-winning documentary Searching For Sugar Man, while side B finds Howard also picking up her acoustic guitar as the two sing their version of "When My Man Comes Home," originally recorded by Memphis Minnie, the immortal composer of "When The Levee Breaks" among others.
The single also features The Buzzards' Dominic Davis on electric and upright bass, Daru Jones on drums, Cory Younts on piano, Ikey Owens on keys and Hammond B3 and Fats Kaplin on electric guitar, lap steel and mandolin. Pre-order the 7" single here, available March 12th.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "perfectly acceptable" and 10 being "get a f*cking hold of yourself, flanz" how bad is it that I made a pro's and con's list for moving to Brooklyn and 3rd on the Pro's side behind "all my friends live there" and "I am there multiple times per week for shows and gatherings anyway" was "Bronx quality record stores I've found in 2 years of living at my current place: 0; Brooklyn quality record stores I've found in random wandering: 3"?
I need to move to NYC. But I need more money to do that first lol.
That's a good reason to move Flanzo. Though if I lived close to record stores I'd be spending even more money at them.
I was fine living where I am until I started actually going out every weekend again. For about 2-3 months I was working until 8pm every night and using weekends to take care of personal stuff, but now the initial push on my jobs are done I have more time that I've spent in BK often. The idea that from my friends place I can hit two record stores within 10 minutes is very appealing. It obviously goes deeper than that, since the increase in record stores is indicative of a bigger musical presence in general, but I just want to buy some new records on the weekend without having to drive 30 minutes through NYC traffic or taking a train and lugging records back from Brooklyn to the Bronx or something.
So maybe this is true for everyone who has bought the LP, but the vinyl copy of Alt-J's An Awesome Wave that I bought last night also has a download for the album digitally with remixes of their stuff by Jim James (yes, that one), The Internet (Odd Future) and Dave Sitek from TVotR. Thought that was a cool bonus.
Drove out to the sticks on Sunday night and bought some guy's vinyl collection. 300 records for $100. A lot of old fogey shitt, but some ancient jazz and blues and other collectibles. Plan on keeping half and selling off the crap. He also threw in a nice, working Pioneer turntable cause I was so polite. Craigslist is the shitt, folks.
Why does that popmarket.com website take so long to ship vinyl? I snagged one on there like jan 28th and it's just now scheduled to ship next week. The first time I ordered something from them it was a daily deal and it took like 2-3 weeks to get here. This time it was one of the weekly sales and it appears it will finally arrive after 6-7 weeks.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
I just picked up LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem and Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, which is not the best pressing but I'm glad to have it anyway.
