I hope Burning World gets this one, too.

Small "update":

 

I gave my nephew (15 months old) Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation" on CD and the Sonic Youth "Washing Machine" Baby T-shirt.

In Exchange I got a Spiderman shampoo and gummi bear brain from him.

Solid!

Christmas late-night shopping aka buying presents for yourself:

Pan American - White Bird Release

Windhand - Windhand

Lotus Plaza - Spooky Action At A Distance

Do Make Say Think - Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord Is Dead

Bought 5 records about 13 days ago from this amazon seller "Zoreno" (I think he only ships in europe, but I might be wrong) and only received 3 yet. The others didn't even get dispatched and were supposed to be here 3 days ago. The seller also hasn't answered my e-mail yet that I sent 2 days ago. Money's already gone of course.

Great.

Ordered once a record from them. It was a really good experience. Very nice price and the record arrived after 3-4 days.

I think they ship from Switzerland. Might be the records got stuck at the customs...but on the other hand you didn't get a shipping confirmation.

I LOVED this record, hahaha. most people didn't like it though. I just love its sense of poppiness throughout.

I have to admit that the songs sounded much better when I saw him in August. BUT it doesn't work for me on record. It just sounds awful imo.

This list only includes 2013-releases I bought this year:

 

The Best

 

Kurt Vile - Wakin On A Pretty Daze

-Wow! Incredible record!

Mogwai - Les Revenants

-Love it! Portugal is such a good track!

Okta Logue - Tales Of Transit City

-IMO the best German band out there! Great musicians and awesome record! Also great liveband!

 

Great

 

Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

-Not their best but still great!

Esmerine - Dalmak

-Fantastic album! Completely different to La Lechuza! I love those oriental vibes!

 

Good

 

Bardo Pond - Peace On Venus 

-My first Bardo Pond record. Really cool stuff. I definitely need to get more releases!

Bongripper/Conan - Split

-Bongripper side: ok / Conan side: great

Ensemble Pearl - Ensemble Pearl

-I have mixed feelings about this album. I think I have to give it a few more spins...actually it's more like between good/ok

Grouper - The Man Who Died In His Boat

-Solid

Lumbar - The First And Last Days Of Unwelcome

-Really good but also really short.

Saltland - I Thought It Was Us But It Was All Of Us

-Another solid record

Sigur Rós - Kveikur

-Solid but I haven't listened to it very often. I should give it more spins.

True Widow - Circumambulation

-There are really cool songs on this album but I have a problem with the drumming...it's so repetitive...

 

Ok

 

Christopher Owens - Lysandre

-Some great tunes on there. But overall too short, some mediocre songs. Doesn't reach Girls-Status! (Maybe I love Girls too much...)

Matmos - The Marriage Of True Minds

-Really weird record still undecided...

Sarah Neufeld - Hero Brother

-Mixed feelings. Forcelessness is amazing but overall the album feels kind of "flat"

 

Crap

 

Ducktails - The Flower Lane

-WTF is this!? Arcade Dynamics was such a chill album and now this? Come on! 

Nintendo just announced so much awesome shit yesterday.

I'm actually thinking about getting a Wii U next year instead of a PS4. I always hated not being able to play Mario and Zelda games. This is going to be my first Nintendo comsole.

sure, but had them already. just wanted the limited shite....

The Last of Us? If so, I agree 100%. It was incredibly overrated. It had a decent story, but overall I struggled to finish it.

Still have to play The Last of Us but I felt the same for Ni No Kuni (minus the story part). 

When I saw the first gameplay videos I got sooo stoked but after a several hours of playing the game it felt like a big disappointment.

Yesss, I can't wait! I need Bees Made Honey and Hex so bad.

I need those two aswell.

I missed out on Hibernaculum about 6/7 weeks ago. A German seller had it for 23 euros (incl. Shipping) on discogs but I had to wait one more day for my paycheck...end of the story: The record was gone the next day...

Sorry for OT!

I ordered mine along with some other records from Oldies.com, so it was actually quite a steal compared to local mailorders. Though this seems to out of stock as for now.

Are you really from Germany (question may sound stupid)?

I also had some stuff in my cart but decided against ordering from oldies because of the German customs.

I rarely order records from the states because I'm afraid of having to pay customs and end up with a even higher price...

This has been posted on the official Earth Facebook-page:

Impossible Truth is such a good album, might be a Top 10 contender this year.

Still need to get the album. It has a pretty high price tag though...

I love Behold The Spirit...I might give it a spin tonight.

 

Ben Frost

Windy & Carl

 

edit: I know that I've already posted this video in the "Instrumental music" thread and nobody cared about it but fuck it...this is too good:

 

Kurt Vile - Childish Prodigy

3 DLs remaining

 

 

(I don't know if it works with different email-adresses)

 

Don't want that "lurkers" get the DLs. So if you're interested, simply PM me!

Kurt Vile - Childish Prodigy

True Widow - Circumambulation

Still no sign of the Southern Lord EU site?

 

Black One is up on Burning World Records:

Mine, still hasn't shipped...

Anything by Eric's Trip!

Julie Doiron is the fucking best!

I don't know what to feel about the new songs. I'm a big fan but it's the first time that I'm actually losing interest in an upcoming Mogwai-release...

Valtari is great but both of the copies that I purchased sound like absolute garbage (1 US and 1 EURO). The EURO press is certainly better, but still... almost ruins the experience for me.

My US press sounds like crap, too. Especially when compared to my Agaetis byrjun copy...

Norman Records are saying 2nd December for us Europeans.

jpc.de changed it to 2nd December. I'm fine with that hehe

Ok thanks! Yeah Thuja... is also one my favourite songs by wittr. I wonder if the female singer is included on this release.

I think I'll try to get it after christmas...15 Euros for two songs is a bit steep right now.

Just watched The Dreamers. God Eva Green is smoking hot.

One of the most beautiful actresses out there!

Is it actually worth getting this release (don't care about artwork, vinyl colour etc.)? Is there a big difference between these versions and the album versions?

 

 

And it was a total feast, since together with WIITR came the new LVMBAR (with Mike Scheidt of Yob) orange vinyl wich seems to be OOP already...

Mine should arrive here tomorrow. Cannot wait to spin it!
