I Bought Records

I was over in SoHo getting my hair cut at Rocco's barbershop on Spring Street, and it was so nice out I decided to take a stroll over to Other Music and buy records:



They re-released that Muslims joint I blogged about a while back, with three extra tracks, and a free download. Two records I got came with the free download feature. I love that, throwing in the free download to sweeten the pot of buying it on vinyl. The first pressing of this is long gone, but they did the same thing to these where they shot each cover with a Magnum .44, so there are three bullet holes.



Got this joint by "The Browns" as well, on the same label as The Muslims. The little blurb said "If you are feeling that Muslims joint, you'll love this" and that was good enough for me! Cover is, uh, brown but there is some flavor inside with a photograph taped onto the inner cover to show it has that handmade TLC. It's good rock and roll...



I got this new record by "Mountains" (Thrill Jockey) on iTunes earlier this week and liked it enough to get it on vinyl, because I am a retard who doesn't have anything better to spend $15 bucks on (like my fucking mortgage). I don't know, you put the words "acoustic/electronic", "Thrill Jockey", "Vinyl", and "Limited Edition" together and it's a Pavlonian response... I'm pulling out my credit card. This is good shit, though, ambient electronic sounds with acoustic guitar, kind of like "The Monastics" but less awesome, but I'll save that for another post.




Whenever I'm over at Other Music I always like to get at least one record that I know nothing about based on cover alone. I've gotten some of my favorite records of all times that way. It feeds my gambler instinct as well, I recon. So I got this joint by "Wavves". I think I have heard of them, but no idea of the music. It is Williamsburg/Bushwick Brooklyn bug out shit, some "songs" but mostly weird noise. I like it but I won't push it on you guys.



Lastly, I got this for you Gabino! For $6.00! If you have a way to listen to it I'll send over to you tomorrow as a belated Christmas gift.

Stay up, homies.

dc looch, keeping the economy going in these troubled times...
