I did some digging. I knew it had to be somewhere since it's being released as a lead-up single on Tuesday

Can't wait for the Bull Moose preview video. I love watching those.

The new Pixies album will be a RSD exclusive for a week and a half:
 
On April 19, a week before the official release date and exclusively for Record Store Day, Pixies will make Indie Cindy available as a special RSD limited edition, two-disc, deluxe gatefold, 180-gram vinyl set, only from independent record stores participating in RSD around the world.  When these are gone, they're gone.

They've been doing that more and more with "RSD First" releases. Released as you said, in about 500 on an exclusive to RSD variant before the widespread, usually standard black release a few months down the road. A good example would be At the Drive-In from last year or the Incubus reissues from a few years back.
I'm torn about the One Direction release. The record snob in me wants to scoff, but there's also the side of me that is happy a new generation/demographic will be introduced to the magic of independent record shops. We all started somewhere, hell I know every word to the first Backstreet Boys album. But its hard to discover all the goodness of non-top 40 music when you're only exposed to the marketing of iTunes and commercial music mega retailers. There's just something about walking into a good record store that everyone should experience. I can't count the amount of times where I have lived out the "Beta Band scene" from High Fidelity- where something was playing on the speakers in the store and I asked what it was and then immediately bought the record. For every hundred teeny-boppers that come out on RSD just to have the latest One Direction single to frame on their wall, there will be a few that fall in love with record stores and I think I am ok with that. 

Plus it will be hilarious to watch the faces of these kids looking for a One Direction record who show up when the store opens at 10 and see the line wrapped around the block.

It means order recieved by Bull Moose, you'll get a shipping confirmation when it leaves the warehouse

Featuring beautiful new arrangements, these special performances of "Substance" and "The Ocean" were captured on film by music website Yours Truly and will be released on a one-time, limited edition pressing of 1,000, 7" on yellow vinyl.

With the clear pressings, you can actually SEE the music. With the black you just have to assume it's there.

Oh, also...I lied. There will be a couple bonus tracks on this.

Just went live on Subpop with a limited edition "Loser Edition":
 
In 2010, Virginia native Jonathan Russell and California transplant Josiah Johnson formed the core songwriting partnership of The Head and The Heart in their new hometown of Seattle. The band was quickly rounded out with the addition of drummer Tyler Williams, keyboardist Kenny Hensley, vocalist/violinist Charity Rose Thielen and bassist Chris Zasche. Their 2011 debut album on Sub Pop became one of the label's best-selling debut releases to date. In a few short months The Head and The Heart went from playing open mic nights to selling out San Francisco's Fillmore, Seattle's Paramount Theatre, New York's Terminal 5 and more, building a loyal fan base across the country.
The new album, Let's Be Still, is a snapshot of a band that didn’t exist just four short years ago. The album was recorded at Seattle’s Studio Litho with assistance from prior production collaborator Shawn Simmons. Later, the band traversed the country to mix the album in Bridgeport, CT, with Peter Katis, revered for his work with bands such as the National, Interpol, and the Swell Season.

Hey guys,
 
I texted Dan earlier and just heard from him. He asked me to post this info on his behalf. He's been training for his job in PA (he lives in MD). He hasn't been able to get on VC via comp or phone, but he is alive! If you have paid, your packages are ready (and have been for some days) and are just waiting to be shipped. He is going to put tracking numbers up tomorrow and respond to all PM's. He'll be home around 11AM tomorrow so expect an update/messages from him around then!

can't stop making these now
