Record Geek Day

I had meant to write about Record Store Day before it happened (it was this last Saturday) but apparently was too lazy to get around to it. I did however make it to one of the participating stores and hopefully other record collecting geeks like myself did as well. There were a slew of limited releases put out that day, most of them 7" singles. If you didn't make it out and still want to get a hold of some of these releases, I'm sure there are many folks on eBay or elsewhere that are ready to help you out (and gouge you in the process). Some of the interesting stuff I was able to pick up included;

1. The Stooges - 1969/Real Cool Time 7" (repressing)
   
2. Beck/Sonic Youth split 7" (covering each other's songs)
   
3. Jay Reatard/Sonic Youth split 7"
   
4. Tom Waits - live 7"
   
5. Andrew Bird/Loney Dear split 7" (exclusive tracks and digital download)
   
6. Wilco concert DVD (with bonus download)
   
7. Booker T. Jones 7"
   
8. Bob Dylan 7" (with track live from Bonaroo 2004)
   
9. Elvis Perkins in Dearland 7" (exlusive b-side)
   
10. Chicha Libre/Dengue Fever split 7" (exclusive tracks)
    
11. Blitzen Trapper 7" (with beautiful pink & white, marble-like colored vinyl)
    
12. Flaming Lips/The Black Keys 7" (Keys do a Captain Beefheart song, Lips do Madonna)
    
13. Alla CD EP (with covers ranging from Kanye West to Terry Riley & John Cale)
