Attention people who love lining up outside of record stores at 4 AM and trampling dudes in long-unwashed jackets in order to get a limited-edition music box with a ballerina inside of it, but instead of a ballerina, it’s a little figure of Jack White spinning around, and it plays the new Jack White single and it costs $20, but you can flip it on eBay in a few hours for $500 — yep, attention, you people: there’s a new Record Store Day release on the block!!! Well, actually two, and they’re from Northern Spy, so it’s, like, good music instead of a novelty condom that has the lyrics to Beck’s new single engraved within the ribbing.
Here’s what they have: a special reworked/remixed/what-have-you version of Cloud Nothings’ Here and Nowhere Else, featuring a bunch of faaaaabulous Ohioans. They also have a double LP version of the 2014 release of Arto Lindsay’s Encyclopedia of Arto, which includes Lindsay-selected tracks from his solo albums written between 1996-2004 plus solo voice/guitar reworkings of album tracks, as well as Prince and Al Green covers.
Ready your tramplin’ shoes, ya nerds, because Record Store Day 2015 is almost upon us!!!
