I don't recall that thread from last year. Sorry.

I booked time off work this year so I can hit the shops early on the 17th.

Looking to snag The Flaming Lips vinyl of DSotM and the Kicking Television vinyl release.

That is a really nice combo. I just have a couple of cheap decks and a cheap used mixer that works as my preamp.

[Jerry_HEAVEN]

picked up those three while i was in Chicago. Normally, that Jesu album would have costed me $60-70 to import, picked it up for $25

Where do you shop in Chicago? I usually hit up Gramaphone and whatever else I see on Clark St.

[Jerry_HEAVEN]

it was my first time in Chicago and Reckless Records happened to be right around the corner from where I was staying. I'll take note of Gramaphone the next time I'm there though

Gramaphone is pretty much strictly DJ if you are interested. I hoping to find a good shop for indie rock kind of stuff.

[Jerry_HEAVEN]

from the 2 Reckless Records stores i visited, they carried a decent collection indie/rock stuff

[LostBoyScout]

Finally have this cornerstone to my collection.

I also bought 6 Wolf Parade tickets, my poor Mastercard...

I ordered the new Get Up Kids and the new Minus the Bear (Deluxe edition) today.

Can't wait to get them in!

I picked up Black Moth Super Rainbow-Eating Us the other night when I saw Dreamend and The Appleseed Cast play

my only pick up on Record Store Day.

first vinyl pressing 1988

[vamosarapiar]

Dropped almost a hundred dollars today, mostly hip-hop, the one exception being Radiohead's The Bends in 180 gram vinyl. I'll post up pics of my purchases later

[LostBoyScout]

I have The Bends on 180...

This is my Record Store Day pull this year: Modest Mouse re-issue, Phoenix single on pink vinyl, Vampire Weekend for $10, Four Tet on 180g, RAA on 180g, Jose Gonzalez, The Album Leaf, and Volcano Choir

Modified by LostBoyScout at 11:21 PM 4-17-2010

[kenny301]

I also picked up the Modest Mouse re-issue and the limited edition Album Leaf record. I also picked up the same Black Moth Super Rainbow that I posted above and the re-issue of Monsters of Folk. The record store day release of BMSR is a double LP. I have this habit of buying two copies of a release if it is put out on 180g and a color pressing. I'll listen to the 180g and save the color release.

On record store day I also picked up

and I got this in the mail

One copy on 180g one color pressing.

Wow! Seriously!? I wish I could afford gear like that at 24 years old! ....heck, I wish I could afford stuff like that right now at 37 years old!!!

Nice! I held off on getting it as I have always been more a fan of the earlier Mercury Program releases. That being said, I figured that being they are one of my favorite groups I'd plunk down some cash. I listened to side one last night and I was not disappointed

hahah No, I wish I could as well! That thing is so ridiculous. Even if I had the money, I don't think I could actually get myself to buy it. They have some really cool turntables on that site that are a few hundred dollars.

Damn just found this thread..because of the Guru thread. RIP Guru.

I am a long time Turntablist. Have had my Technics 1200's for going on 15 years. SURE M447 needles. Vestax mixers etc...

I have over 1500 vinyl singles and albums. Mostly hip hop and breakbeats. After all they are Turntables and hip-hop.

Suprised to see the lack of hip hop in this thread. I did see the post with the Automator and DJ Shadow and a few others

Come on lets see some underground hip hop.

[kenny301]

I almost picked up A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders at the recrod store on Sunday.

I am also eyeing up the RJD2 2002-2010 box set. I know he doesn't really do hip hop but he does beats for some.

I am also looking for some P.O.S. vinyl

Do those count

[vamosarapiar]

This is what I posted up in the New Good Hip Hop thread...
