Interesting blog post about convenience of digital vs the culture of physical music mediums!
"I love the idea of Record Store Day but I no longer have a turntable, cassette deck or CD player[...]"
"I’d love to be able browse the music physically like everyone else, chatting to the staff, listening to stuff and getting recommendations, but rather than bagging the vinyl I’d like to pay them for a FLAC download that gets delivered to my inbox."

THE WOZARD OF IZ
An Electronic Odyssey
1968 Canada pressing
A truly bizarre and twisted gem.
I’ve been digging into a lot of Mort Garson lately, and I pulled this out of a box I had in my basement this morning, totally unaware that I had it.
The music on this album was composed and executed by Garson, but the whole project is conceived and written by Jacques Wilson.
It trippily re-imagines the 1939 film The Wizard Of Oz, but sets the story in the #psychedelic 60’s, giving all the characters a hippie identity.
Dorothy is an acid-head flower child seeking the “far-out” and “where it’s at”.
It’s all quite hysterical and ridiculous, but Garson’s music is the PERFECT backdrop for what’s going on. By this point, Garson had MASTERED the Moog #synth , and these was nothing he couldn’t do with it.
A really wild and entertaining record.

While we were being told that the Fairlight CMI and E-mu Emulator would change music forever, and perhaps make learning an instrument obsolete, we still had music classes.
Will always be glad to have learned how to play music in spite of all the rhetoric surrounding the future of composition and performance.
Because the universe works this way, and loves baking a punchline into our lives, the teacher was named Miss Sample.
Bless her.

If you want to know what my March looked like, this screenshot pretty much says it all.
The funny thing is, I have never been a huge Moby fan. But somehow, his music became exactly what I needed to get through this month.
70 hours of his tracks on repeat simply helped me survive and during the hard days.
When you loop "Natural Blues" 673 times in a single month, it is not just a playlist anymore - it is a lifeline.

The Complete 1978 Peel Sessions
2026 Worldwide pressing
Unofficial Release
Another excellent sounding boot from Radio Broadcast.
This sounds very clear and super-punchy on my system and I couldn’t be more pleased.
Two different Peel Sessions from ‘78 are represented here; one from January, the other from September.
The band is in savage form in both.
“I Am The Fly” is particularly awesome.

JOHNNY CASH
Ride This Train
#60s Canada reissue
[Columbia “Two Eyes”, black text]
I’m starting the daunting task of going through all of my boxes in the basement; sorting them, cleaning them, and filing the really excellent stuff into my regular library.
At least half of it will be culled, but I’ll worry about that later.
This morning, I came across a box that was mostly filled with outlaw country stuff; Johnny, Waylon, some Hank, and other legends.
I love the early Johnny Cash, and this is a great one. It’s got “Slow Rider”, “Going To Memphis” and “Old Doc Brown” on it.
Just great songs.

Even if you're just listening to the tv, you put that. I really, really, really miss seeing what everyone was listening to!

MORT GARSON
Journey To The Moon And Beyond
2023 U.S. Ltd. Edition pressing
“Mars Colored” vinyl
A case of the Monday weirds.
Mort Garson was a genius.
Although he’s most known for his PLANTASIA album, his entire discography is just stellar.
THIS is super-fun.
It compiles the soundtrack to the 1974 blaxploitation film BLACK EYE, as well as some unearthed (and unused) pieces of music created for various advertisements.
There’s also a few pieces from a 1970 National Geographic special (the album opener “Zoos Of The World”), but the most captivating stuff here is Garson’s soundtrack to the live 1969 broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
It’s friggin GLORIOUS.
Load up your bongs, man.
It’s time to go to space.
Just an awesome and totally unique collection.
Also came with a huge poster and pamphlet for all of the Mort merch via Sacred Bones.

SLINT
Untitled (Albini Rough Mixes)
2026 RSD Ltd. Edition
@ #45rpm
Grey Matter vinyl
Diving into the last few pieces of the #rsd titles, and this was a pleasant surprise.
A wonderful sounding reissue of the ‘94 release.
Albini was a great champion for Slint from the beginning, and when a different band booked recording time with him and DIDNT show up, Steve invited Slint into the studio, and recorded these songs instead.
Touch And Go eventually acquiesced and signed the band, after originally rejecting Tweez, and telling the band AND Albini that they weren’t interested.
What came following was a little album called Spiderland.
It was also very heartwarming to open up the open cardboard and see that picture of Steve.
A lovely tribute, and an incredible sounding pair of songs.

From @joannechocolat
Maddalena Casulana (1544–1590) was an Italian #composer, lutenist, and singer.
In #Venice, her book of madrigals for four voices, "Il primo libro di madrigali", was the first printed and published work by a woman in Western #music #history.
Personal note: much of her work has been lost or is incomplete, but several pieces have been found, restored, & were performed for the first time in 400 years in 2022, on BBC Radio 3 for #InternationalWomensDay

Well I’m a dork. Had no idea #recordstoreday was April 18, and an old fantastic #vinyl shop reopened in town on Saturday. And now this dork is going to spend copious hours sifting through their stuff this week, which puts it off to about a good a start as any.
Thanks @TheVinylApe for mentioning RSD!
What kind of pro-train propaganda is this?
Are they recruiting the youth to become commies with their rock music and trains?

XTC
White Music
1984 UK reissue
The infancy of one of the greatest bands of all time.
It’s the youthful, scrappy, scruffy XTC; kinds more new-wavey and post-punkish than the latter-day exquisite pop songcraft they’d grow into.
It’s a very fun record, and worth owning for “Radios In Motion”, “This Is Pop” and “Statue Of Liberty” alone.

“I’ve been saying to the members, ‘If we don’t challenge anymore, then I think there’s no reason that we should keep doing this as a team,’” he says. “We have to show the world that we are still ongoing and still exploring. It’s so complicated sometimes. But still, I think we have to push it to the edge even more, even more, and it’s still not enough.”

Went to my local shop today for a little post- #recordstoreday dig, and took home a big pile of stuff.
This was in the used bin, and I decided to give it a go, seeing that I loved the newest Tortoise album that features Parker.
This is outstanding. A beautiful record for the waning hours of a Sunday afternoon; beautiful guitar instrumentals and a wonderful sound throughout.
Just gorgeous.

Yeah, this was A Choice to highlight for my birthday, but it's MY birthday and they're my number one emotional support boy band, so....
Sometimes, I'm awake thinkin' about fuckin' things up for myself again. So relax and sit there, my organs know I mean well even though they're all gone but they're content.
Marietta - You've got the map backwards, Matt
Ich glaube, es war die Gitarre von Mark Knopfler, die mir in Erinnerung blieb. Oder dieses „Chicks for free“ – ein Ausdruck, mit dem ich in meinen jungen Jahren Ende der Achtziger noch gar nichts so richtig anzufangen wusste. Aber die Musik war genial, und wann immer Dire Straits im Radio liefen, erhöhte ich dezent die Lautstärke. Trotzdem hat es bis zu meinem zweiten Drehteller gedauert, bis ich mir ein Album der Dire Straits zulegte, und es musste als erstes natürlich Money for Nothing sein. Ja, es ist eine Compilation, aber eine gute, und es sind all die Lieder, die ich vor vielen Jahren so gern im Radio gehört hatte.
Mir gefallen die Texte von Mark Knopfler und natürlich sein einzigartiges Spiel auf der Gitarre.
Ob Sultans of Swing oder Romeo And Juliet oder auch das beinahe schon legendäre Money for Nothing, auf dieser Rille sammelt sich ehrliche, gute Musik, die ich mir immer wieder anhören kann.
Mein absoluter Lieblingssong ist aber ein weniger beachteter Titel, den man auch nicht sonderlich oft im Radio hört: Private Investigations - ein Song, der sich im Stil und auch in der Thematik doch sehr von den anderen bekannte Songs von Dire Straits absetzt. Melancholie, Sarkasmus, Enttäuschung – getragen von sanften, ruhigen Melodien - erzählen eine Geschichte, und vor dem inneren Auge entstehen Bilder von langen Mänteln und Hüten, von einem Schreibtisch, auf dem eine Zigarre im Aschenbecher vor sich hin qualmt, und von einer Flasche Whisky. Grandios!
Diese Version von Philip Marlowe passt eigentlich so gar nicht zu Mark Knopfler. Denn wenn ich mir den Mann anschaue, habe ich immer das Gefühl, einen Finanzbeamten vor mir zu haben, der in seiner Freizeit Taschenrechner und Stift gegen die Gitarre austauscht.

The NON-RSD titles I picked up from my local shop today.
Got everything I wanted in regards to the RSD stuff, but also these as well.
Very excited about the SUPER CLEAN original stereo Otis Redding.
Dirty Deeds and Strange Days are both flawless upgrade copies for ones I already have that are a bit banged up.
The Fire Escape was a KILLER find, and a record rich with odd detail (which we’ll get into when I post it).
And I LOVE that Tears For Fears song, and was more than happy to get the 12” (which has the full version of it), as well as cool U.S. remix of “Shout” as one of the b-sides.
Record Store Day done right, baby.
Not a bad year.
11 titles in total for yer old pal Ape 🦧.
