credibility or connections? either way, congrats on getting into the 'Mats show. a LOT of people want to be at that one. how would it be cheaper for you if you had a photo pass? trust me, the outlay of cash for gear vs the revenue received would make an accountant have a stroke. well they really only have two records, and they played one in its entirety. i didn't mind an early end as i had to get in to work at 7:30 today.

what is this?

yeah, i am pretty psyched. this was awesome news to get. now, let's just hope there's a security barrier up that night...

musicians get touchy about fluids near their pedalboards.

i saw one of the first Van Der Graaf Generator shows in the US a few years ago, and before they started, Pete Hammill looked out into audience and said "there aren't any women here tonight, are there?"

Getting bombarded with those requests. I think my wife is first in line.

so that means i'll see you at next Monday's Replacements/Dinosaur Jr show?

it's been sold out for a while now. a lot of people already thought about it

yeah $12 is high for a 7" but i think the standard price is 9 or so bucks now. crazy.

that puts a burden on the stores, though. from what I hear, stores can't send unsold RSD stock back to the distributors (hence all the 2014 RSD stuff sitting in the sale bins).

the amount of online vitriol that Neko's been getting as a result of not doing an encore because someone wouldn't comply with her no phones/camera rule is ridiculous. http://www.oregonlive.com/music/index.ssf/2015/04/readers_weigh_in_neko_case.html

i was in the front row for my first Wilco show (YHF tour), towards stage left. it was at The Orpheum, where the front row seats go right to the stage.... it's a great venue if you are really close, and i've had the good fortune to get row 3 tickets for Nick Cave and 2nd row center aisle for Iggy and the Stooges back in 2007. at one point Iggy jumped off the stage to the aisle and was face to face with me, singing directly in my face. pretty fucking awesome.

i didn't see a copy either.

i have one suggestion that would decrease flipping: do not state the pressing size. let people figure out if it's rare or not, don't create artificial demand that way.

i am not sure... they did say they would be deleting people who entered multiple times. who knows the criteria?

I'd say most single LPs were around $20 and 2lp were $30 or so. Notable exceptions were the Beefheart 2lp for near $40 and the blue 180g signed Basement Tape LP that was $45.

yeah i was surprised by the no goodie bag deal myself... usually a bunch of shit but there were a few decent things here or there. that said, i spent *way* more than i was expecting to...

yes, those two are awesome. i really like the record he did w/ Harold Budd too (_The Pearl_), but it's very ambient. _Taking Tiger Mountain_ and _Before and After Science_ are also worth getting.
