On Record Store Day, I picked up this EARTH LP from Armageddon Shop. If you liked The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull record from 2008 then this is for you. It barely resembles older EARTH records though...just to warn those who have not heard their recent stuff.
While browsing the Electro Harmonix website to see if they had any new crazy guitar effects coming out, I found this link on their page. It is this band Pomplamoose. Actually, the original link was just the dude (Jack Conte), but then I found more links for his "band" on youtube.
These two are adorable.
The basic deal is that he plays every instrument himself and videotapes everything. Then, he edits the video in a way that you can basically see him creating the song. The music is super sweet stuff ...kinda New Pornographers/Aisler Set/Moldy Peaches. Even if you hate the sound of that, you should watch just one of these.
-- EDIT: In some of the vids, the lady friend also plays instruments. I didnt see that in some of these until now. The ones I saw at first were all just him. --
Here is the first click I watched, which is more Elliot Smithy
And another with both of them:
and here they are covering Michael Jackson's Beat It:
TODAY AT NOON: Record Store Day: Our Way. We'll have some of the special RSD titles, but more importantly we put out a ton of new USED vinyl in both shops, as well as LTD COLOR VINYL VERSIONS of some records we released, some OOP releases we ordered in, and some killer new releases.
Providence folks: We got in a chunk of random old Out Of Print local EP's and LP's, and some Test Pressings of a few local releases.

One of my favorite local bands, Bonedust, is having a grant-funded show coming up...I am psyched. What does a band need a grant for you ask? I dunno...but I will be there to find out! Here is the info:
