record store day

for the past four years and counting i have participated in record store day. this one was bittersweet as one of my favs, sound fix, bid farewell. i happily shopped there on their last day. picked up rsd 7" releases for sharon van etten and phoenix.  i also got grizzly bear's friend ep and efterklang's piramida. i hopped by academy records to score the shearwater + sve rsd 7". was the first to get it. they actually let me purchase two. i told them sound fix sold out of their stash. record store day brings out different collectors, so there you go. i wasn't able to this tho. in any case, happy to shop at sound fix on final time. i'll never forget seeing bon iver and the antlers playing in store.

sedna

can't wait to see them on march 23 and this little story on npr jazzed up my excitement. the video for efterklang's "sedna" (above) is shot in the vein of a rineke dijkstra portrait. don't you think? 

efterklang at charlottenborg

best concert timing: efterklang playing the copenhagen jazz festival. shar tends to try her best to attend a concert when in different locales and efterklang playing their home town was a indeed the best concert timing i've had to date. they were set up in the courtyard of charlottenborg place situated in the hopping harborfront of nyhavn. it was a unique location and from the very little danish i know. i think casper was keen on the locale too. they were as lovely live as i had heard. they had the crowd clapping and snapping throughout the show. lastly, could not help myself and got this. won't be able to pay it until i get home to bk tho.

that's heather broderick on the far right. she was a pleasant surprise as i know her from horse feathers.

love casper's expression here
