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.

tiny desk concert - phoenix

so kids shar can't embed npr goodness in london, but you should really check this out because i can't. seems like npr is blocked on my shores. :(

phoenix and paris collide

long awaited take away show: phoenix in paris. when i heard that fellow frenchman vincent moon had videoed phoenix in their hometown, shar was intrigued to say the least. there are three vids up on la blogotheque, but i must say the last was my fav. thomas mars testing the acoustics under the eiffel tower. the rippling water. the random jogger. another magical performance captured by mr. moon.
