Record Store Day Items list #1: 5 or more items (2012-2025)

This is the preliminary list, and only with 5 or more from actual Record Store Day (and not Black Friday Record Store Day).

The Black Friday List I will edit-in or post in another entry.

And then combine the 2 to get some kind of approximate Net totals for the Leaders/Most.

I was just thinking of trying to have these graphed out, although it would have to be with a free relatively easy-to-use platform (Google Docs may even be able to do that).

But also a long/longer RANT and YouTube Video(s) about my contention that Record Store Day/Black Friday Record Store Day has a lot of the same artists, while many artists have rarely if ever had Special Releases.

I'm also unfortunately concerned about my cat Mocha's health right now as she is dealing with for the 2nd time in a few months, some kind of upper Respiratory Infection (a cold?) as she has been sneezing intermittently the past 24+ hours, Which may dictate how soon a video and more of this stuff will show up. But hopefully soon (and a 2025 RSD video with or without the wife)

2015 Black Friday Record Store Day Preview (per Bull Moose in Maine)

Another Record Store Day coming up and another video from the gentleman from Bull Moose a popular record store in Maine.
I only have 1 or 2 things on the  2015 Black Friday RSD List I'm looking to pickup in the Queen 12' Bohemiaqn Rhapsody and the Jeff Buckley Sly and the Family Stone cover "Everyday People" 7'

But there's a couple other items I want to find that may be there, like that Rush Presto 180g and possibly Black Mountain LP if I and my fiancee end up going to The Electric Fetus (not the 1st place we plan to go to like last year).

She on the other hand, has 3 or 4 items she wants, including the Paul McCartney "Say Say Say" (feat. Michael Jackson) single, The Cardigans and the Alan Parsons Project single (with the "Games People Play" edit) included.

FTR: I already own a signed copy of the Jaco DVD per my contribution to the Pledgemusic Campaign. Review? Maybe I'll do both a written and video review soon.

And possibly shoot some video on BF RSD if possibly at Breakfast and at the stores.

2014-2015 End of Year List etc

I'm thinking of really trying the twitter-post-length format this year. Why? I know it's kind of unfair to the many great records that have come out, on my Countdown, etc, but frankly, i don't fathom being up for investing the time not only the actually writing of the blurbs for all the records on the 2014-2015 countdown, but also just in revisiting them, or even a percentage of them.

I may end up taking a week off or more in December (or if not then, January), but December frankly is way late for my schedule, and with a lot of things on my plate and actually wanting to work on with this and My YouTube Channel, among other things my free time might warrant; continuing to plan a wedding, seek a new residence and plan to purchase a new (low mileage used) Car, it just doesn't seem as likely I can invest those hours to come up with another massive amount of album commentaries.

I mean the truth is, the Countdown List is more or less done. A lot of the images for the cover art have been included in the current Draft I have. So, I'm in a lot of ways tempted just to go ahead and throw it up with barely much to add as it currently is.

Which I probably won't, but I may just force myself to have it done by the end of Thanksgiving Weekend and at that point, whatever is not included, so be it.

I'll likely be more focused on Black Friday Record Store Day and the current and upcoming albums for 2015-2016 actually, which I have been adding-to almost everyday anyway.

What else? no promises, but the YouTube stuff hopefully will comeback. I still may try and do those Retro Favorite videos..unsure. Or I was thinking given how little time I've found to make them, I may just try and do extremely short videos more in pure Video-Blog format.

Sort of what's going on with AllMediaReviews today/this week. It easily could be random.

Or I may try and just randomly talk as briefly about bands or albums, sort of how Velocities In Music or some others have been doing their topic dujours, etc of late. Partly because even with a lot of those channels, there's a bit of a lack of certain bands/albums/periods of music within prog or otherwise.

I dunno. This blog is often Random. or has  been at times, why not the YouTube Channel?

Record Store Day 2015

4/21/15 5:23AM

Here's the 1st part of the footage I shot, sort-of. Unfortunately, there's some here (and likely more in the rest of the content I tried-to shoot), which cuts off heads and shows the ground.

As I've said before, this shooting video stuff is a work-in-progress for myself. Recording  audio is 1-thing, but Video? especially while carrying other things in my hands as well, well, it's a skill I'm working on to master, but still needs practice.



Parts 2 and/or 3 if time allows, will be shared in the next few days. The editing on Premiere Elements tho is both rather un-user-Friendly and even more-so, time consuming when it requires over an hour just to convert a 450mb file, lol.

4/19/15 12:36AM

Myself, my fiancee and my friend John went to 3 stores today after a slightly *late* breakfast around 9:30AM.

Barely Brothers

Agharta Records

Cheapo in St.Paul

Items:

-The Decemberists - Picaresque (10 yr Anniversary colored, which includes a download of a live show from 2005 in Portland, Oregon)

-Tomorrow - Tomorrow (Gatefold)

-Typhoon - Prosthetic Love 7"

-XTC - Skylarking

-XTC - The Big Express (Promo)

-Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (German issue)

Breakfast at Colossal Cafe in the Como area (the St.Paul location, the open date is still pending).

I attempted to shoot a bunch of 2-7 minute on-site video, which if by some miracle, I will be able to edit-together (while editing out much of it at points). But we'll see. A lot of the videos had durations of time where you don't see anything or people's heads are cutoff, hence why the editing would be beneficial.

A video with the Fiancee and I showing our RSD items again? may or may not happen. If it does, I would look for it to be shorter than the 30 min from RSD 2014. We'll see, time is rarely on our side tho.

I may just instead, try and write something more extensive about the issues I have with RSD and I suppose why this year was much less stressful and may be a new/best approach for years to come.

Or at least why Black Friday RSD seems to be a little more my and the Fiancee's thing I guess.
