MexicanDragon Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I didn't see a thread on this, but I just remembered that it's tomorrow. I NEED the CAKE box set, but there's a lot of other cool stuff too.http://recordstoreday.com Is anyone else going shopping tomorrow? **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ooh! Thanks for the reminder Brent! I'll make a little visit to Amoeba and Streetlight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm going out and I have a friend in Nashville who is going to try to score the CAKE set (limited to 900.) Is there anything anyone wants, you know, just in case I can snag it? (Not every place gets everything.) **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Is the De La Soul a RSD exclusive or RSD first? Oh. Heh. 100 in the country. I'll see what I can do. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Here's a list of online stores doing discounts for RSD. A lot of 20 or 25%, and some 50% off places.http://modern-vinyl.com/2014/04/14/deal-thread-record-store-day-2014/ **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 They didn't get CAKE in at all. Can someone try to nab it? Dan, think I can get your Dresden Dolls. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 What does it say about the record store industry in Virginia that I have to go to this shit hole called CD Cellar to attend record store day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Damn, there is a long line of beer douches lined up outside my "record store". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jeff, I was interested looked around and it may still suck but Yelp and others say it is a solid store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yeah, it was not bad. Employees were not douchey enough to be NYC record store employees but it will do. I am happy with my haul. They only got one copy of the REM album and some homeless guy got it but I liked everything else I got. Especially my official Chuck D Pin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Aw, man, you got the Regina Spektor? It was gone by the time I got there. I got a bunch of things I wanted, but none of the top tier, and no Cake, sorry Brent. Got: Notwist, Oneohtrix Point Never, Broken Bells Not got: Garbage, Chvrches, Katatonia, Nick Cave, Clint Mansell... Also got a bunch of non-RSD new and used vinyl (Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Isleys, Buddy Rich, Wes Montgomery, and Kaleidoscopic Vibrations -- Electronic Pop Music from Way Out by Perrey & Kingsley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 ^ Sounds like a pretty good haul, Dusty! Should keep you busy for a while! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yup, hours of fun as soon as I ever set up a turntable! And yes, I realize I sounded like I was complaining, only complaining about what I not got, quite happy with what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only decent local retailer has a measly 10% off and does not appear on this list. WTF. Why is this a problem? Because I received a gift certificate for them at Christmas. Oh well, free (for me) is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Third RSD in five years. First two attempts netted zero vinyl in combined 3 1/2 hours in line. This time strolled into a place not known for vinyl at 3PM and found a few titles. Added ILD to the mix. Back to not hating the event.

CarlSeibert Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Absolutely amazing line at Radio Active. It was a block and a half long waiting to get INTO the store. it's always been a long wait to get out of the store. JP and I scored a few records at Record Rack, but neither JP nor David nor I had the time to brave the line at RA. (I was ditching the morning session of a training thing to go to RSD) An interesting note: the t shirt guy was basically out of X large shirts, but he had some black ones. The RSD design in white on black was not an option because his silk screen was loaded with black ink. So he did black on black for me. It turned out cooler than the other side of the pillow. It's a mirage-like image on a black shirt. None blacker. ) Edited April 20, 2014 by CarlSeibert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Strict rules. My haul Top right was a freebie (Pete Francis - Movie We Are In) that I won from winning a trivia question (Milli Vanilli was the answer) in line. FWIW, they had live music, trivia, give aways, and someone even won an acoustic guitar! It wasn't me (Boooo), but they asked if the dude could play. He said "have a pic?" Then he proceeded to play a nice rendition of some song that I forgot the name of, but definitely was cool. FLips I went back for out of habit, because I score some FLips every RSD I go to (this is my 3rd in 4 years, I think).Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Videogame - Original Videogame Soundtrack The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls (for Grawk) Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea (with "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die" as the B-side) Green Day - Demolicious (cassette) Skrillex - Recess (cassette) Jay-Z and Linkin Park - Collision Course (blue vinyl and DVD) Over on the left are the freebies, but the GWAR square is a patch. I need to find something to attach it to. **BRENT** Edit 2: I can't believe I bought cassettes. It's probably been 2 decades or more since I've done that. The Green Day on vinyl was 21$ more, and the CD was 6$ more. Ridiculous. I'm pretty bummed that the CAKE box set is going for over 350$ on ebay right now.

bhjazz Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Sweet: cassettes! That's awesome. I had a cassette on just last weekend. LOL. I wandered out to the Seattle-based Silver Platters to see what I could come up with. It was crazy. Nobody was perusing their vast CD racks, but 20 of us were digging through the vinyl. Small corner of the store, not really fun. Left with a few titles in mind, but nothing in hand. On the way out to dinner I heard Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle and remembered I had that on vinyl. Checked it when I got home and realized I had the 1999 RTI 180gm pressing which showed up at a collector site for $75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
