Sigur Ros - Ekki Mukk

Another release worth mentioning that I got on RSD is the 10" single "Ekki Mukk", by Sigur Ros.

The song is taken from the forthcoming album "Valtari", due to be released later this month. It sounds a lot like the "old" records and it's a really promising first single! Really looking forward to the record!

One funny thing about this single is that it plays from the inside out, that I haven't seen before...

Record Store Day releases.

As  I said in my previous post, I am gonna post about some of the releases I got for myself on RSD.

As mentioned there were a lot of records released for this day and the two biggest releases for me were these two:

These are two split singles by Mastodon. The pink one is with The Flaming Lips, where both bands perform their own versions of the same Flaming Lips song "A Spoonfull Weighs A Ton". The other one is a split with Feist. On this one Feist performs a Mastodon song in her own version and Mastodon performs one of hers. Since the style of music is so different between these two it's very fun and interesting to hear the different takes on these songs. Both songs taken from two of the best albums last year.

Record store day.

I was on such a good roll with my posts but then I stopped for some time. And during this time we have had the biggest day of the year for independent record stores, such as The Garden.

It was celebrated on the 21st of April and it was a busy and vdry funny day in the store lots of people to talk to and sell some vinyl to.

This day there are also lots of special releases and we had about 100 of these in stock for that day. I got a few of them myself, I'll make a separate post about those.

So all in all, a great day a couple of weeks ago.
