Wow. I’m in awe for this guy… watch the whole thing.

Playing albums at 45rpm…

.. might be one of my favorite things. It’s not even an Alvin & Chipmunks effect usually, it’s just… funny.

These are the best:

  • Pure Moods EP by Lemonade
  • MMP by Animal Collective
  • the Hey Boy Single by the Magic Kids (*played at 78rpm)
  • Any Black Flag haaaa

I own this. It’s blue vinyl. I look at it every other day.

Happy Record Store Day!

Tons of limited edition, re-pressed material out today, all in a effort to push extra traffic through independent record stores and keep them in the world market.

I picked up the split 7” from Sub Pop featuring new songs from Dum Dum Girls and Male Bonding. The DDG track is solid, as is Male Bonding of which I had never heard of before.

I so wanted the Beach House 12”, but I guess some peeps got there early for that one. Next year, I’ll plan an excursion.
