The Rekkid Store Report — June 30, 2009

Posted in MUSIC to Trust tha Rekkid Store by The Parasolorians on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 2:00 pm

Incoming:

Another slow new release week so we'll focus on quality over quantity and pad it with last week's highlights, howabout? Wilco's new opus has dropped (it's on the stereo right now, George Harrison-esque) on CD and LP+CD, plus we have a limited 7" available too. Don't sleep! Bjork has a spectacular live release on multiple formats, Merge Records and Spoon have conjured up a surprise EP with three new songs, and Six Finger Satellite gets the archival treatment with a release of some 2001 recordings. Our drool has dried up for those Loop re-issues becauise they just won't come out, dangit, but REM's DCD remaster of Reckoning has and it's awesome. The original album sounds better than ever and the live disc is totally boss.

Wax On:

The Gossip's new album is vinyl-only in the US or else I am confused (probably the latter). Other really new vinyl arrivals include Pavement's Brighten the Corners 4LP extravaganza, Red House Painters Songs for a Blue Guitar on DLP, that Wilco 45, an of Montreal 45, new LPs from Dinosaur Jr. (with free poster), Earth (live, vinyl-only), Deer Tick, Tortoise, Blank Dogs (finally), Amazing Baby, Stewart Murdoch's God Help the Girl dealio, Kiila... This big question is: Will we get more Modest Mouse 7"s? Stay tuned!

Rocking Our World:

Mott's hypnotic influence is lessening somewhat so we've been blissing out to a variety of new and old genius. Like the new Dinosaur Jr limited deluxe DCD, a swank new George Harrison collection, Band member Levon Helm's latest, the upcoming Oneida 3CD juggernaut, Tortoise and Wilco... Mostly we've been basking in the afterglow of seeing The Horse's Ha at Cowboy Monkey Saturday night. Storms, bachelorette parties and loud drunks be damned, the band's quiet intensity remained transcendent. Wished we coulda stayed for Common Loon, but I'll admit it, we're too old for late-night shenanigans.

The Top Tenner: (because we can update our page like good boys and girls)

1. Wilco   Wilco (The Album)  (Nonesuch)
2. Tortoise   Beacons of Ancestorship  (Thrill Jockey)
3. Dirty Projectors   Bitte Orca  (Domino Recording Co.)
4. Monks, The   Black Monk Time [re-issue]   (Light In The Attic)
5. BIg Star   Radio City  (Ardent)
6. Fiery Furnaces   End Is Near   (Thrill Jockey)
7. Dinosaur Jr.   Farm   (Jagjaguawar)
8. Sonic Youth   The Eternal   (Matador)
9. Sun Araw   Heavy Deeds   (Not Not Fun)
10. Wilson, Larry Jon   S-T   (Drag City)

Big Blue will actually be on 6-9, despite what is posted elsewhere. Then, hightail it over to Bentley’s!

Once it leaves the basement, it is then called what? hmmm…....could it be mainstream? accessible? appealing on a mass-level? POP???  Quickly it will become a fad, over-saturate the media, and piss people off.  Then everyone can write articles based on how that shit sucks, too.  chickens are…

In general, I think music is much more interesting now than in 1995. I definitely am very glad contemporary music has expanded beyond the four-piece rock lineup that dominated much of the 90’s. The point of the above isn’t so much about a sound or an instrument…

2010 is not 1995. I’m not sure why anyone would expect a music scene to remain stationary as the world of popular music moves around it. Also, today, making popular music with mainstream appeal and being innovative and cutting-edge are usually exact opposites.

I love eating Vietnamese food, and having growing up my entire life eating it, I was excited to go.  I really wanted to like this place because of all of the hype I had heard——unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed.  I got the pho (vietnamese soup) and thought…

Great article. I’ve always found that by making it in the blender, I can be my typical impatient self and pour tons of oil in at once. It’s very forgiving that way, though not fool proof.
