Black Friday RSD list for this year...
http://www.recordstoreday.com/SpecialReleases
My highest priority is Ween, The Pod.
I'll also be looking for
- Charlie Parker/Dizzy Gillespie/Bud Powell/Max Roach, Jazz At Massey Hall
- Tenacious D, Tenacious D Live
- Wes Montgomery, One Night in Indy (feat. The Eddie Higgins Trio)
I don't fight the crowds, just hope to get lucky after the dust settles. What will you be going after?
I'll avoid the lines too, but I'll be hoping to get my hands on:
Afghan Whigs: 1965
Trespassers William: Different Stars
Ben Lee: Awake Is the New Sleep
That live B52s records looks nice, and the Cardigans, and the aforementioned Charlie Parker etc., and David Gray, and Janis Joplin, and the Kinks, and Waylon, and Ween and AAAAGGGHHHHH
just because I'm a completest I'll get the Beck 12" for Dreams
Les Paul & Mary Ford - Christmas Cheer
think that's it
I was going to get the Pharcyde 7" until I saw the $11 price tag. The prices for some of this stuff is absurd.
Anybody make a good haul at RSD yesterday?
I picked up:
Tom Petty - Kiss My Amps Vol. 2
Alt-J - Live at the Red Rocks
Judgement Night Soundtrack
Really wanted the Grateful Dead Capitol Theater set, but couldn't justify the price. Alt-J was bad enough.
I skipped it this year. The only artist with a release that interested me was Blitzen Trapper...
Yeah I'll probably pick up the Blitzen Trapper and possibly Higher Authorities
I ended up with the Jason Molina covering Townes Van Zandt 7", and the Jay Farrar release, which I still have no idea what it might be, but I felt like taking a chance on something.
Missed out on that Jason Molina. Gonna have to try to get that online tomorrow.

Try the Bull Moose website. All the Record Store Day stuff hits their website tomorrow and it looks like there are still several available.
skipped RSD for the first time in a while. Not a whole lot I liked (the White Stripes Peel Sessions is cool but I have a good boot).
Read some stuff about RSD has become a burden for some stores b/c of mandatory min orders, getting stuck with stock, etc. The Black Friday RSD has also watered this down.
I was at the door at 2:45 am, first in line (surprisingly). Agree that this year's selection seems less thrilling, but I still managed to bag about $500 in purchases (some for my daughter - most for me). My holy grail was actually the Focus single (Hocus Pocus).
