    Are you with the band then?

    I managed to grab one of the last band copies of the blue galaxy (and one of only 5 copies of the album they could bring over the border).

    Label let us know they were running low on this second pressing, sharing the news here. Had an amazing tour and met some great shoegaze / dreampop fans out there. Hope to make it to the UK soon!

    Speaking of Iris,  just found out they are opening for Nothing in Toronto at the end of the month.
    Pumped for that - and just a week before that Ringo Deathstarr is playing (with Blushing).

    So - this happened last night. My ears are still recovering, they've got that muffled, detached feeling today.
    Excellent show! I'm not sure if Blushing has been mentioned here before, but if not check them out:

    Ringo DS mentioned that they just got the masters for their new album, and they played a few new songs.

    FieldMice got a reaction from Mars in Recently inherited father's vinyl collection   
    My father passed away recently and while he didn’t have many worldly possessions he did have A LOT of vinyl records which he treasured. He owned his own business as a night club disc jockey during the 80’s and 90’s and some of my earliest memories are being with him in the DJ booth memorized by the turntable light illuminating the spinning decks.
    An entire wall of his home was dedicated to the floor to ceiling shelves of vinyl. Pictured here is just a small sampling (maybe 5%) of what he had that I was able to go through so far and take home (I have more pics and video). He spun anything from The KLF to Bowie to Fleetwood Mac and everything in between. He had a binder with every record catalogued and numbered and put a sticker on each record with the corresponding catalog number. They are well worn, none near mint. They are worn because this was his livelihood and passion. Him and my mom would load up their car with heavy crates and head to each new gig.
    I’m glad to inherit his collection and along with hundreds of vinyl records I also received his two turntables, both Technics SL-1200MK2 in mint condition. I am a bit overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of the collection, there are many I just can’t keep due to space. I’d like to bring them all to my house and invite friends and local vinyl enthusiasts over to peruse. I am not trying to make money and will keep all of the vinyl that I hold dear. I didn’t have a very close relationship with my father in the last years of his life for many complicated reasons but there is always one thing I knew he wanted, for me to take and care for his vinyl collection. I will honor that and treasure the copies I get to keep and make sure the rest go into great hands. I wanted to share this with a community which would appreciate this share.
