museummouth Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Japandroids - Post Nothing when they first signed to Polyvinyl. I needed a new album for a trip, and they had an instant download if you preordered it. So I thought why not. It became the most perfect summer album ever. gmoney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Average Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nerf Herder - S/T I bought this from Columbia House or BMG, just because the cover looked like something I would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabretic Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Today i picked up the new Waxahatchee LP "Cerulean Salt". I took a chance on it because i was feeling semi adventurous at the record store and I liked the way the album art looked. I am happy to report that I find the record to be fantastic and this got me thinking. What records have you guys picked up on a whim/hunch and they turned out to be records you love? If you like Waxahatchee, you HAVE to listen to ps eliot. just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow_Tree_Records Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 S - Puking and Crying bought the cd in a dollar bin last week, just beause of the album title, and the fact that they were on suicide squeeze. i've listened to it a good 20 times since then.

Kid Rock devil without a cause in the 'discover new artist' bin. $6.99. Had only heard some of the titular track on MTV live something or other. SWAG *Unfortunately the name Kid Rock wasn't popular until late 1999, I'd started listening in early 99. Kids at school would say "you listen to that with your Raffi tape or what?" and other age related jokes. It was very funny to hear next year "Have you heard that new Kid Rock song?". I'm going platinum indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tape Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 nothing comes to mind recently. the best instance of this for me was JSBX - Orange. I saw that record in the Newbury Comics in Nashua my first weekend of college, with the shiny silver cover and the name "Orange" and I says to myself, I says "shit, I have to have this record." I had never heard of JSBX at that point. god damn if that isn't one of the best records ever. The Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeconspiracy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 the firebird band - say hello 7" from mind over matter. i was a huge braid/hey mercedes fan, so i pretty much picked this up blindly and was pretty blown away by both the music as well as the beautiful die-cut hand-screened packaging. i also have to go with everyone else on here who's saying Harvard/HRVRD. i picked up the original press of the inevitable & i because it looked so amazing and i had never seen any record that looked like that before. i ended up falling in love with the band and, eventually, meeting and falling for the wonderful guy who put the record out, so i'd say that definitely paid off haha enjoytheride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markaj311 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Most recently, Lowercase Noises (because I'm a sucker for concept albums and whales) This sounds really cool I'm listening to it right now. I really like the title track. Ever heard The Antlers - Undersea? Has that kind of vibe.. concept albums are the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
