Is anybody planning on visiting their local record shop tomorrow to pick up some special releases?
Personally I’d love to get the Sacred Bones comp., but it’s always a nightmare at these stores every year.
I didn’t see anything on the list id like to get

I went today in downtown Columbus.
I found some of the ones I wanted-
Joy Division-An Ideal For Living (re-issue)
Tears For Fears-Ready Boy and Girls
I couldn’t find the two Devo releases, nor the Ghostbusters 10", so I’m going to wait it out and try to find them online.
The store I went to had a 20% off sale on used vinyl, so I picked these up:
David Bowie-Young Americans
David Bowie-Tonight
Eurythmics-Be Yourself Tonight
Spandau Ballet-Parade
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome Soundtrack
Madonna: Dress You Up 12"
My most local didn’t have the Sacred Bones comp. He said he sold every record store day item as soon as he opened and didn’t even know what stuff they actually had (I still bought old records from Monty Python, Roger Waters, and Men Without Hats).
Luckily, a superior record store across town had a limited purchase policy and my friend who works there hung onto a copy of the Sacred Bones comp. for me. I also picked up another Roger Waters release and Chris Connelly’s Shipwreck on CD.
I also got the Joy Division EP (kinda wish it was the Hitler youth artwork, but it’s still nice), but missed out on the Giant 12" by The The.

Ha ha! I was surprised to find it. The Tina Turner track is nostalgic awesomeness.
I wouldn’t mind having that crashy/ clangy/ industrial Bartertown music just playing in my house on a 24 hour loop.
We were heading out of town to go see an exhibition in Seattle, but I stopped off at my local record store in the morning and picked up the Nick Cave West of Memphis soundtrack and two Bureau records sampler things (with Automat (featuring Genesis P-Orridge), Kreider, Schneider, and Moebius.
Is the Bowie in Berlin DVD just that series of horrible interviews with no-name “music journalists”? I picked that up years ago and was very, very, very disappointed with it. It had about 3 photos that they cycled through over and over again. It was beyond lame. Or is it something else?
I was annoyed with the Bowie releases this year… “collect them all to get one live track at a time!” Plus I hate picture discs. And last year I bought the record store day single, which turned out to have just another album track as the b-side… very lame, but fool me once I guess.
In sort of Ministry related news, Artificial Madness has been out on vinyl for a while now (I picked it up at my local record shop a few months ago).
Sounds like some of you got some great finds. I was in a big rush because we had a lot of driving to do that day so I grabbed the Nick Cave soundtrack that I was in for and then did a quick flip through and found the Bureau things). They had a big pile of stuff marked down as well, so I might head back down tomorrow and see what is in there.

No, that…pretty much sums it up.
Lame. I was pretty pissed off when I watched it… I actually still have the stupid thing because I doubt any record store would buy it to sell used. I’ve only watched it once.
There seems to be a massive amount of these so-called music documentaries out there on DVD… there are a lot more Bowie ones, and many of them are the same DVD but re-packaged with a different name.
One cool Bowie thing I picked up last year was the triple vinyl pressing of his 50th birthday concert. The sound is actually pretty decent, not perfect, but decent (low volume, but with lots of bass). I’d recommend that if you see it around.
I was hoping it would be a dvd documentary of a cameraman following Iggy and Bowie around Berlin while they do heaps of drugs and drink loads and crawl around the streets in the middle of the night on their hands and knees, giggling like schoolgirls and drunkenly attempting to break into German Beer Halls at 3am while bemused prostitutes and various hipster street people look on in disbelief. Oh and at some point Bowie manages to record one of the greatest albums ever put to tape (Low).
Sadly it wasn’t to be.

That and three more career highs for both of them. From Low in January to Heroes in October, with The Idiot and Lust For Life sandwiched in between… does any other artist have a one-year streak to rival that?
Bowie’s early stuff (especially “Low”) is incredible.
Then the 80’s came . . . . and then . . . now . . .
Low is a masterpiece…I love the entire Berlin Trilogy…and Scary Monsters is definitely one of my favorites that he ever did…after that there was a serious drought…I’m one of a handful who really liked Tin Machine though…never understood why that band got so much hate…
