Hello party people. Heath here, back from a 4 week tour, a 4 week tour. The jetlag is gone but the post-tour blues is just kickin' in - or is it seasonal affective disorder? I visited the world's oldest record store (Spillers in Cardiff, Wales) along with about 25 other cities. But you don't care - cuz you were here, wondering where my witty posts about the weather were, right? RIGHT? Anyway, the holidays are upon us, its unavoidable - believe me, I tried. We have tons of goodies that your loved ones want. From LP accessories (about as romantic as socks) to books, DVDs, our famous t-shirts, box sets (including that amazing Pixies Minotaur box, WHOA!), turntables, headphones, trading cards, and of course TONS of fantastic music! Plus we have a boatload of CDs on sale for only $10, including all 2009 releases from local lovelies Secretly Canadian, Jagjaguwar and Dead Oceans! If you have a special order to place, you best be doing it NOW if you want it on time... .................................................. NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 12/15/2009 .................................................. Animal Collective - Fall Be Kind EP (Domino) .................................................. To close out an incredible 2009 for Animal Collective that saw the release of their most critically and commercially successful album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, comes the Fall Be Kind EP. The EP features 5 brand new studio tracks that are every bit as lush and beautiful as those found on Merriweather. The year of Animal Collective continues. Apache Dropout - 7" (Magnetic South) .................................................. From the ashes of psycho-nauts Hot Fighter 1, as well as the Twisted Soul-Punk of John Wilkes Booze...APACHE DROPOUT has one directive - "A Call To The Wild" some would say... a fuzz drenched sonic assult - shoking lost souls into a Frenzied Lysergic Boogie! Their first vinyl release after two mouth-watering cassettes on Magnetic South. Bonnie Prince Billy & The Picket Line - Funtown Comedown LP (Sea Note) .................................................. Intimate live recording by Will Oldham and a young bluegrass band. Funtown is a place, as much as it is a place of mind. It was in this place, in a clearing and on the shores of a pond, that Bonny 'Prince' Billy and The Picket Line combined forces to play his music and their music and other people's music for a community of people to hear and watch and swing and step to. Live in front of friends and family is the way of Funtown. It was as fun as it sounds and more, in ways which have mostly been channeled down to the two sides of a groove and presented to you here, wrapped twice in full-color sleeves. Landlocked Holiday Gift Wrap .................................................. Over the past year we have seen a ton of awesome posters created by Dave & Stacy over at Mile 44. Perhaps you also saw one of their posters for shows such as Grizzly Bear, Camera Obscura, Conor Oberst, Sufjan Stevens, Built To Spill, Deerhunter / Dan Deacon / No Age, Califone, Blitzen Trapper, etc. We commissioned them to make us some hand-screened gift wrap for LPs and we are tickled with the results! We've concocted a truly cool reusable LP wrap that you will want to keep as art - check it out at the counter and give your presents that extra oomph! Midlake - Acts of Man 12" (Bella Union) .................................................. For those that were looking for an Xmas present consisting of new Midlake songs, look no further! The 2-song vinyl (Acts of Man & Rulers, Ruling All Things) is now available. A press release from Bella Union claims that the new album will swap out the 70s soft-rock vibe of its predecessor, 2006's much loved The Trials of Van Occupanther, for a more traditional folk influence. In a statement, guitarist Eric Pulido says, "We didn't want to make the same album as Van Occupanther, so we carried on moving and creating and pushing for a newer sound and emotion." Pearl Harbor - Something About the Chaparrals LP (Mexican Summer) .................................................. Pulling together strands of light, synthetic pop with the unmistakable damage of proximity to Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Mexican Summer is proud to present the first release by Los Angeles teens Pearl Harbor. Piper, Sky, and Cody create dreamy, ethereal melodies not dissimilar to heavies of the past few decades (Cocteau Twins, Lush), but with the doomed worldview of today's California, fallin' into the sea, creeping ever so slightly in the background. The Vinyl Zone (get into the groove!) ..................................................
