I just purchased (future release by a small bamd to help them raise some money) my first record in over 20 years. I don even have my turntable setup anymore. The wife's reaction when it arrives will be interesting.
What's the band?

Really great record mate, gets a lot of spin time in our house, apparently was a regular for Joe and Luce too.
Yeah Marky got me onto it and gave me the digital version. Great to have the LP though it is missing some of the tracks from the CD

Congratulations! Guess I lost track of dates and didn't get out early enough this morning to see what my local vinyl shop had. Maybe I'll head over later this morning and see if there's anything that interests me left in stock.

The shop near me is tiny, like really tiny ad the line went around the block. I dont do well with lines, cant be bothered most of the time, including today.

I've gotten up early to get in line at the local record store a couple of times. Got there 1.5 hours early and the line was pretty long, then saw people coming out with stacks of stuff, I'd like to think they were collectors, the cynic in me thinks the were eBay resellers.

It's been a few years since I've bothered with RSD. Absolutely no shade to anyone here who's been picking up stuff they enjoy, sincerely, but overall the element of conspicuous consumption increasingly makes me want to puke.

It's obviously always been a "retail holiday" and buying shit was the point, but it made an impression on me when I've read testimonials from smaller labels and record stores that they've come really dislike RSD. The margins are pretty thin and every year the big labels are taking up more and more of the manufacturing capacity and flooding the market and muscling out the indie outfits that this event was ostensibly originally designed to promote. And consumers lap it up. Special variant pressings (often poorly made and badly mastered for vinyl) of ubiquitous dreck from the 80s and 90s that you could pick up on CD for 50 cents instead costs you 60 bucks for the privilege of hearing a CD pressed to vinyl. Gross.

Theres still plenty of good stuff out there, but I see the photos of lines for cash registers going around the block all to put money in the hands of UmG or whoever and I increasingly want no part of it.

/End rant (and, again, sincerely no shade to anyone who enjoys their vinyl goodies. I get it, and those of us here are more inclined to be buying from the indie labels and stores that are doing things the right way)
