The Avett Brothers put out one of my (and I'm absolutely serious with this claim) top-10 albums of the past 5 years with their last full-length, Emotionalism...

Why?? WHY?? WHY??? Why must everything be coming out at once and costing a fortune?? I am a huge Belle & Sebastian fan and had been keeping tabs on Stuart's new project for many months now...

I thought I'd take a moment today to break down all of your Grizzly Bear options in regards to the forthcoming Veckatimest. Firstly, as I follow Ed Droste on twitter, I have learned that the first pressing (approx 5000) of the LP will contain an exclusive photobook...

Mark Kozelek always has SOMETHING going on and often it has some form of limited-edition aspect to it...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw word of this. The Magnetic Fields' classic 69 Love Songs is being released in a limited-edition, 6 x 10" vinyl box set. There will only be 3000 pressed, and carry a pretty hefty price tag... which does not bode well for me and my scaled-back record buying...

If you ever have the chance to see William Elliott Whitmore live, do so. He is a captivating performer and truly, one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. No doubt, if you were to ask him to sign your record, he would do so graciously...

Andrew Bird (a personal favorite of mine) has headed out on tour with Loney Dear (a Swede!) and they've put together a very interesting split 7". This release is a limited edition of 1000, on black vinyl with hand silk screened covers, meant to be sold on tour and on the Polyvinyl website...

I am obviously not the first person to tell you about the Arcade Fire's new DVD coming out in March, Miroir Noir. It promises to be something special if it's anything like the videos Vincent Moon (the director) shot for LaBlogotheque's Take Away Shows...

It's been a tough year for a lot of people, and while some record shops appear to flourish (Reckless Records OPENED new locations), others have gone on to the great big record shop in the sky...

Kindercore has become a daily stop in my vinyl life - I never quite know what they'll find in their garage. The latest mindblower has been them finding more copies of Of Montreal's Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies, pressed on swirling colored vinyl (and $20!!!!)...

So, I listen to Christmas music all year long. Anyone who might be my friend on MOG, LastFM, or any other service that gives you a peak into my listening habits, must have been thinking that I am a total f*ing loser, and that I like terrible music...

So, I had been on Thanksgiving vacation in the wild land of dial-up internet, and did not have the opportunity to post at all last week...

I know I have been veering off my normal "limited edition/vinyl/import single" focus of the site, but with the Christmas season coming and my personal mix in the making, I am a bit preoccupied. So come be preoccupied with me...
