My Vinyl Collection: Part 3

Here’s the third installment of my adventures through my vinyl collection. A couple things:

1. Yes, I know a lot of you don’t prefer Chris as a camera man. My GF will be back soon.
2. Don’t get all upset over how I handle my records. They’re mine, not yours. LOL.
3. Again, these are not all the albums I own.

These are the artists whose albums get mentioned in this video:
Bongripper
The Books
David Bowie
Brightblack Morning Light (I think I forgot to mention their name!)
Bright Eyes
Danny Brown
Dave Brubeck
The Budos Band
Buzzcocks

My Vinyl Collection: Part 2

Yay! It’s the second installment of my alphabetical trudge through my entire vinyl collection. Remember: This isn’t all of the music I own. Just because I don’t own a record doesn’t mean that I don’t own it on CD, and it especially doesn’t mean that I haven’t heard it. Don’t be daft, lulz.

These are the artists whose records I talk a bit about in this video:
Afrika Bambaataa
The Beatles
Behold… The Arctopus
Big K.R.I.T.
The Black Keys
The Black Lips
Black Moth Super Rainbow
Black Mountain (not High On Fire)
James Blake
Bongripper

My Vinyl Collection: Part 1

This is the first of what will be an ongoing series of 10-minute videos talking about every record in my vinyl collection. Of course, this kind of thing isn’t going to be of interest to everyone, but those who have been asking me to do something like this have been very passionate about it. Obviously, this excursion is one of an alphabetical nature, and future videos will continue through my collection as such. I should be hitting up my 7″s and singles when I finish the 12″s.

These are the artists whose records I talk a bit about in this video:
Africa Hitech
Andrew Jackson Jihad
Animal Collective
An Albatross
Fiona Apple
Battles
The Beach Boys
Beach House
The Beastie Boys
The Beatles

I Come To Shanghai- “Another Holiday / Favorite Drug”

Georgia duo I Come To Shanghai has released a song from their upcoming album Eternal Life Volume 2, which is set for release this month. The track has a really dreamy presentation, and it’s layered with sliding guitars and airy synthesizers. The vocals contribute to this feeling using harmonies reminiscent of the Beach Boys or Animal Collective. They make a number of seamless transitions musically as well–especially near the end where the song transforms into a catchy synth-pop jam. The grooves these guys are producing are pretty impeccable and show a lot of prowess within their particular brand of psychedelic music.

Eternal Life Volume 1 was released July last year and is available to download at their website http://icometoshanghai.com/. The band also has kickstarter to release both volumes of Eternal Life on a vinyl LP. The campaign has reached its goal, but you can still donate here if you’re interested in one.

Well, do you? If so, how? If no, why not?

Future Islands- “In the Inkwell” ‡ STREAM

I didn’t give Future Islands‘ latest album the most lavish of scores when I reviewed it, but they’ve still got some of the most captivating vocals I’ve heard all year. The band has a new split 7” on the way, and you can stream their side below. The track is “In the Ink Well,” and the twinkling synths and rough vocals create a really sensual atmosphere. Stream the song below and get the peach-colored vinyl at Friends Records.
