No words, only bleeps.

Based on the crowd pics, most of the attendees probably thought they needed a mini Crosley to play these tiny 7” records, and since Urban Outfitters only sells traditional record players they passed. (Also, they blew all their spending money on silk screened posters at the PJ shows.)

The bleacher seats are green (with a single historic exception).

On the PJ site they go so far as to explicitly state: One hundred random customers will receive the Red/Blue Split “Boston Red Sox” vinyl.

Not when they’re 9 games back...

They’ll be able to flip it in the garbage.

I wonder if there’s a sticker or something to distinguish the variant from the black, or if it’s really totally random. I also wonder if the variant is mailorder exclusive since it says “100 copies have been pressed and will be shipped randomly” implying none will be sold at retail. I think if these aren’t going in retail shelves it’s more likely there’s a sticker on the colored copies. If you can somehow tell from the outside, I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of these slipped into Newbury Comics warehouse employee’s collections...

The good ol’ Mondo model from days past...

We’re all just your little pawns...

It is if you like cats...

If you want to see Casper Babypants, walk into a random Top Pot Doughnuts on a Saturday and there’s about a 50/50 chance he’ll be playing.

Please tell me that isn’t the Plain Recordings reissue of Loveless..!

Nothing will beat the 1850s. Forget vinyl, I could hire a whole 12 piece band full of banjos, fiddles and washboards to play LIVE for me and it cost no more than room in the back of my covered wagon and passage to the Oregon territories. Sure it upped my family’s chance of catching dysentary but it was well with it for those sweet, sweet pre-Wilco Americana tunes.
