Gilead Media just posted a HUGE news update about upcoming releases, including a couple of preorders. For $9 you can now preorder the repress for Thou’s The Retaliation of the Immutable Force of Nature on white vinyl limited to 300. This 12″ is alternately crushing and uplifting, depending on which side you play. Highly recommended. [...]

Just as they are about to go out on tour together, Andrew Bird and Loney Dear have teamed up for a split 7″.  This slab features Mr. Bird covering Loney Dear’s “I Got Lost”, while Loney Dear tries his hand at Bird’s “The Privateers”.  It is limited to only 1,000 copies and has a screenprinted [...]

For one week only, Pitchfork.tv is streaming the amazing documentary “Desperate Man Blues” in its entirety.  Here is their description:
“Attention all geeky music collectors, compulsive mp3 downloaders, and crate diggers: this is a movie for you. Joe Bussard, a music lover and 78 aficionado based in Frederick, Maryland, has a library of more than 25,000 [...]

Aural Exports is now selling the classic Primus album Sailing the Seas of Cheese on their website along with preorders for two early LPs from The Breeders and the debut LP from Mr. Bungle. All of these albums have been out of print for quite some time, probably since they were originally released in nineteen-ninety-whatever. [...]

This seminal album, recently repressed on CD by metal fashionistas Hydra Head, is now available on the LP format with two extra tracks from a previously released 7″. Whats more, its limited to 500 copies with silkscreened artwork by Pushead. Is there really anything else to say? Lets recap: awesome album, awesome screenprinted Pushead artwork… [...]

Dark Was The Night is a massive compilation of indie rock for a great cause.  The album was produced by two dudes from The National, and all proceeds will go to benefit the Red Hot Organization, a charity dedicated to raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.  This triple LP features 32 exclusive tracks by a stunning list [...]

Hydra Head just launched a preorder for Kayo Dot’s “Blue Lambency Downward” LP, available in a number of preorder packages.  You can purchase the record on green, maroon, or white vinyl, and you can also add an awesome new t-shirt by Faith Coloccia.  Furthermore, there is a triptych art print by Toby Driver.  Each print [...]

Just kinda came across this box set featuring music from Dario Argento’s films.  This box includes five 180g LPs, including the soundtracks to Il Gato A Nove Code, Quattro Mosche Di Velluto Grigio, Profondo Rosso, Suspiria and Tenebre.  It features music by Morricone and (of course) Goblin, the undisputed kings of European horror scores.  The [...]

Looks like this is ready to order from the Southern Lord webstore. This is an exclusive version pressed on “Dark Forest Green” vinyl limited to 1000. Only $12 but get ready to pay a bit more than that after shipping at southernlord.com.

If you would have looked for Cursive’s “The Ugly Organ” on green vinyl last week, you would have had to pay $30+ for a copy on eBay.  However, the fine folks at Saddle Creek just released a brand new repress.   This slab of powerful, midwestern, cello-accented indie rock comes on a 180g translucent green LP.  [...]

Just as he’s about to launch a tour with Andrew Bird, Swedish multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanängen aka Loney Dear just released a brand new LP, his first for the Polyvinyl label.  “Dear John” moves into more experimental territory, as you’ll hear in the sample below, but still captures the quieter, folkier side of Svanängen as well.  [...]

Last week, Translation Loss posted the preorder for the new LP from proggy metalists Irepress. If you heard their last album, you might have noticed that it was completely instrumental and completely awesome. You can listen to their new song “Cyette Phiur” featuring *gasp* vocals, on their myspace. Interesting. Several different preorder packages featuring various [...]

Okay, old news. But this album came out in 2005 and didn’t get a proper vinyl release until late last year. The artwork has been updated for this double LP, it comes housed in a gatefold jacket, and I must say it looks to be pretty damn impressive. $20 for this raging slab of psychedelic [...]

Since Mitch Natty went ahead and played the dubstep card, we might as well mention that this synthy slice of wax from Zomby (not to be confused with Zombi) has shown up stateside. Seven songs on two 12″s. Yes, that means you will have to get up and flip the record 3 times to listen [...]
