This is the last big week of releases for 2008! That means its time to start commiting on all your holiday gift ideas. Stop in and we will help you out for that impossible to buy for friend or loved one. And thanks to everyone that helped make Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings at Jake's this past saturday such an amazing event. You make us proud of Bloomington. Now starting prepping your year end list and stop in and say hello! ................................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 12/9/2008 (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) ................................................................... Cat Power - Dark End of the Street 2x10" (Matador) ................................................................... Six-song vinyl EP containing mostly unreleased recordings from the "Jukebox" sessions. In keeping with the "Jukebox" theme, all the songs here are covers: The Pogues' "Ye Auld Triangle", James Carr's "Dark End Of The Street", Fairport Convention's "Who Knows Where The Time Goes", CCR's "Fortunate Son", Otis Redding's "I've Been Loving You Too Long", and Aretha Franklin's "It Ain't Fair". Limited deluxe double gatefold 10-inch vinyl. Common - Universal Mind Control (Geffen) ................................................................... Grammy Award winning artist Common returns with his unique brand of cutting edge Hip Hop on his 8th album. Executive produced by multi-platinum producers The Neptunes & Kanye West and features the Neptunes on the bulk of the production. Guest spots from Kanye, Cee-Lo, Pharrell, Muhsinah and Martina Topley-Bird (from Tricky's albums). Arrington de Dionyso - Beyond the Black Sun (K) ................................................................... This record is less the apocalyptic doom of his ramshackle post-punk group Old Time Relijun, and more of a raga influenced anthropological meditation. "This music winds like an infinite snake around the vine of a central note, probing hypnotically as Mr. de Dionyso inexhaustibly exhales mandalas, spirals, unknowable cuneiforms, and other beguiling shapes, while simultaneously driving the pulse and drone to advance, like a slow motion tsunami, towards a shocking climax of release" - Michael Gira, Angels Of Light / Swans. Fennesz - June LP (Table of the Elements) ................................................................... Table of the Elements continues to celebrate its 15th anniversary with the 9th installment in its Guitar Series Vols. 3 & 4. A 12-LP romp of deviant fretnoise by some of experimental music's most prominent players. Christian Fennesz is a pioneer. He's responsible for establishing the laptop computer as both a compositional tool and a concert instrument. Subsuming electro-acoustic strategies into a bedrock of pop, he terraforms vast new worlds of sound, within which both AMM and The Beach Boys can cozily co-exist. This limited edition one-sided etched LP is available in clear and orange vinyl. FM3 - Buddha Machine 2.0 (FM3) ................................................................... The Beijing-based duo FM3 is back with an all-new version of their wildly successful Buddha Machine. Nine new loops. Three new colors. Pitch bend! Blurring the line between music box and musical instrument, the Buddha Machine 2.0 is an interactive album that lets users customize the listening experience. For those who haven't experienced the pleasure of the original, the Buddha Machine is essentially a small plastic box that plays ambient loops. The loops repeat endlessly until the "track" is switched or the 2 AA batteries (not included) run out. The Magnificents - Year of Explorers (Mush) ................................................................... The latest release from this Scottish band is an epic saga of stolen synths, left-handed guitars, trans-European expressways, covert product placement, and serious studio tomfoolery. Where their eponymous debut was primarily fueled by raw punk power and electrifying excess, this record demonstrates a more measured method. They've toured with the Beta Band, Mogwai, Stereolab, and Trans Am. Pavement - Brighten the Corners [deluxe reissue] (Matador) ................................................................... The fourth in Matador's series of deluxe editions of the five classic Pavement albums is a rather joyous pop explosion after the complications of "Wowee Zowee". The double CD set, again packaged in an embossed slipcase with gorgeous 62-page perfect-bound booklet, contains the remastered original 12-song album, 10 non-album B-sides, 10 outtakes, and 14 live radio session takes, along with full-color poster. Bonus live LP for you lucky pre-order-ers! We might have a couple extra if you beg us. The bonus LP ended up costing a little extra dough, sorry for our confusion. Rusty Zavitson - A Wonderful Christmas EP (self) ................................................................... After producing Appalachian-country star Jerry "Toots" Rudolph's jug manifesto, "Jerry Blows His Brains Out," Rusty Zavitson took a break to make their debut album, which happens to be a holiday EP. What if Stevie Wonder crashed his H3 into a party wagon and the only casualties were L7s asks the band. "It would probably sound like Rusty Zavitson," says Russell Simmons of Def Comedy Jam. This home school rap band has cornered the market on chopping songs, laying beats, spitting rhymes and calling it a day. Almost opening for MC Chris and the Fat Boys Reunion Tour, the lineup of Fritz Kruhger, Fritz Kluegen and Rusty Shackleford create a "rap/hip-hop/dance soul/funk multimedia brainchild". Sigur Ros & Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson - Angels of the Universe [reissue] (Fat Cat) ................................................................... The soundtrack to Icelandic filmmaker Fridrik Thor Fridriksson's internationally acclaimed movie of the same name, Angels Of The Universe features 15 short instrumentals by renowned Icelandic film composer and former Psychic TV and Current 93 collaborator Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson and two epic-length, climactic tracks by his countrymen Sigur Ros. Angels Of The Universe is essential for fans of Sigur Ros and similarly-minded Icelanders like Mum or Johan Johansson, and it will also be appreciated by followers of orchestral rock a la Rachel's, Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Mono's more delicate moments. Sigur Ros' latest album, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust is now available on LP as well! DM Stith - Curtain Speech (Asthmatic Kitty) ................................................................... The music on this debut EP calls to mind Antony & The Johnsons, Grizzly Bear, and sometimes the explosiveness of Animal Collective, along with the dissonance of Sonic Youth and Henryk Gorecki, the expressive vocal techniques of Caetano Veloso and Mary Margaret O'Hara, and the romance and textures of Benjamin Britten and Edward Elgar. Vocals sit amongst lush arrangements of piano, guitar, strings, electronics, choir, and percussion. The song structures feel like mini soundtracks. A transfixing and imaginative statement. Did we mention he is local, too? Check it out in our listening station! Welcome Wagon - Welcome to the Welcome Wagon (Asthmatic Kitty) ................................................................... This debut unveils a ramshackle sing-along enterprise of a Presbyterian pastor and his wife who wrestle out the influences of folk music, religion, pop culture, and church tradition in a collection of soulful and good-humored songs. This gorgeous brew consolidates "sacred" song traditions (old Testament psalms, 17th century Presbyterian psalters), iconoclastic 60s pop innovators (The Velvet Underground), 70s charismatic Catholics (Lenny Smith), and 80s melancholy lovelorn pop (The Smiths). Recorded, produced, and arranged by Sufjan Stevens. The Vinyl Zone ...................................................................
