I bought records

Had to go to Other Music today to buy records to kill the pain of being horribly stressed and burned out at work.



I said I wasn't going to get the new Black Dice joint, that I was over them, but the vinyl version is a fat ass gatefold cover with 12 page booklet of art and, what can I say, old habits die hard. Haven't checked it out yet. The vinyl comes with free download so I'll hook you jerks up and you can form your own opinions.



I've kind of been missing out on "Record Store Day". Gabino, do you do "REcord Store Day"? I guess lots of bands do vinyl only shit that are only available in retail stores, not online. Anywho, the one I really wanted to get was put out by Numero and sold out faster than Rootless eats a salad. But I got this joint put out by Truth and Soul label, spin off of Daptone Records. it's fucking awesome.



Had to do the old buy it on cover alone move, and got this.. i don't even know who it is, hold up: "Kurt Vile". PRetty good, kind of singer songwriterly but stripped down BK Warehouse vibe. It's good, worth price of admission.

OUT.

Never made it to a Record Store Day but I know Reckless in Chicago does it up.

I've been off vinyl since you were a teenager. I don't think I'm ever going back, but I do have a bit of gatefold envy.

I actually take my time while eating salads.

Hook me up with the new Black Dice. I also need the Savath & Savalas, and I think Prefuse 73 has like 2 other new albums out, so please buy those and give them to me for free. Thanks.

Right... does anyone have/going to get teh new Prefuse CD?

I might get it. ("It" being the new Prefuse 73.)

Wondering if Kurt Vile is a nod to composer Kurt Weill (whose last name is pronounced pretty close to "vile.")?

rootless takes him time tossing salads.
