What is this??
 
http://new-vinyl.blogspot.com/2014/03/record-store-day-2014-exclusive-scoop.html

so you guys will wait til the absolute last second to let people (who have already given money) know that the records are delayed? Since every record ever gets delayed have you thought about announcing release dates with those delays in mind? or waiting until after test presses are done to start preorders?
 
crazy idea! i know! 

The RSD Pinback release......looks nice!

The RSD Pinback release......looks nice!

Sure, if you actually PLAY records.

That looks like a great turntable to use to destroy the over-priced RSD releases.

US RSD fans might want to check out this list of releases that have been officially announced. The lists of rumors blogs borrow from each other seem to be less accurate than they have been in previous years. I thought this might help people figure out what's what.
 
Some US bands and labels have announced titles to the public but haven't released the sales information to stores yet, I left those off the list but I will add them when we get the official word. 
 
If you prefer to see the same list with cover art and links to more information go here. We are still filling in track lists, pressing quantities, etc. so important details are missing, we might add them later.
 
Several important distributors have yet to release their lists, including Think Indie, as noted above. Many more titles are in the pipeline, so don't fret if something a label or artist announced isn't on my list. It's probably for real. 
 
Enjoy,
Chris

Should be this week.  SC Distribution's stuff comes out with the Think Indie solicitation.  They usually have really cool stuff.

Any Mayer Hawthorne fans here?  Looks like a split 7" is coming for RSD:  http://zelonerecords.com/en/news
 
Note the Japanese version will have a different sleeve.  I guess RSD is truly global with a RSD Japan release.

I need to fix that title.  But basically Kanine records is releasing the LP Pythons Demos, limited to 1000 copies, which were supposedly how they wanted the album to sound but it was rejected by Warner Bros for being too "punky".

Edit:  I guess someone really doesn't like Surfer Blood, since Woe Division was downvoted for asking the question and was downvoted for answering it.  Nice.  heh.

Bruce Springsteen has a 12" with 4 unreleased tracks coming:  http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bruce-springsteen-releasing-4-new-songs-on-record-store-day-ep-20140224

The official list will be out on March 20th.  There should be around 450+ official releases and then another 100+ unofficial releases (releases that will be in stores, but didn't play the RSD game to get the sticker on the package and adhere to their requirements).  So those who don't like what's been announced yet, be patient....chances are something will be listed you'll want.

FYI...Mae  Destination:Beautiful will be out on RSD 2014 on Blue/Gold vinyl. 

Looks like Mondo's RSD release will be the Paranorman Soundtrack as a Picture Disc.  Invada is releasing the soundtrack to the videogame Far Cry 3:  Blood Dragon on vinyl for RSD.

Hey everyone!
 
Well I guess the Seattle D was no joke.  Wish Denver could have showed up and at least made a game of it.  Probably one of the most boring Super Bowl's I've seen in years (last one that comes to mind was the 49ers blowout over the Chargers).  And with the safety right at the beginning, that through the square into chaos, just 15 seconds into the game!
 
Glad the squares at least made the game somewhat fun.  And oh what could have been....if Denver had kicked a FG before half instead of going for it, if Denver had missed the 2 point conversion....or if Denver had tackled the LB who scored the pick 6.....all sorts of different outcomes could have been available.
 
But congrats to the following winners:
 
1st Quarter Winners:
 
Seattle 8
Denver 0
 
Bracket 1:  BossDJ26
Bracket 2:  AndrewB
 
2nd Quarter/Halftime Winners:
 
Seattle 22
Denver 0
 
Bracket 1:  Rynflnnry
Bracket 2:  Elnombre
 
3rd Quarter Winners:
 
Seattle 36
Denver 8
 
Bracket 1:  Tvham
Bracket 2:  ZaCooper
 
4th Quarter Winners:
 
Seattle 43
Denver 8
 
Bracket 1:  SteviexShoes
Bracket 2:  KidAmnesiac
 
Congrats everyone!  I will PM you later today (yes, I have to work today and this after many beers and tequila shots last night, since we turned the football game into a drinking game....ugh).

everything's comin' up Milhouse!

Hey VC,
 
This site has done a lot for me.  Given me info on pre-orders, given me info on artists to check out, given me friends for my Simpsons Tapped Out game....heh.   I wanted to give back, and what better way than holding a Super Bowl Squares giveaway.
 
If you aren't familiar with Squares, you get a square.  There are 100 slots available and if you are interested in participating, then respond below.  You will be given 2 Random Squares.  So that means we need 50 people to enter.  After everyone has entered, then numbers are drawn and then placed in the grey slots below.  
 
So for instance, if you have the Broncos 1 and Seahawks 0, then you would "win" if the score were Denver 21, Seattle 10.  
 
Prizes will be from my personal collection and awarded in the following manner:
 
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct score after the 1st quarter
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct score at Halftime
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct score after the 3rd quarter
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct Final Score
 
BONUS:  If someone is lucky enough to win multiple quarters, then they will get bonus items.  (A list will be provided after the Super Bowl to the winners, to choose from)
 

 
So just respond below and you'll be given a square.  We need 50 people for this to work, I am sure we can do this!!
 
Note:  I'll be at a Super Bowl party on Sunday, so I won't be able to update this real-time until later that night.  But I will have an updated bracket that you can print out and take with you to see how you do!  
 
Good luck!

We had 60 people want in for bracket 2, so the following people had to be cut:
 
Pastnpending--1 post
Elvismcvegas--1 post
HangtheDJ--1 post
RockNSteady--1 post
Patrick Barcuto--7 posts
Saltedpork87--7 posts
mushmouthbooze--12 posts
Littlefusdawg--15 posts
IRodeTenSpeed--20 posts
Oldheadpunk--28 posts
 
In the event that someone had fewer posts (e.g. Eskimonow27), then feedback rating was used as a tiebreaker.  This may not be the most ideal situation, but this way, people who are actively involved in VC can have a chance to win.
 
Here is the 2nd bracket (it is also on page 8):
