Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory

Hello again. I've picked up a lot of vinyl recently and I'm not even close to done posting about it, so you should see a lot of these in the near future.

Today's entry is Motion City Soundtrack's 2005 album, Commit This To Memory. Even though the album came out over 5 years ago, it sadly didn't see a vinyl release until about 2 weeks ago and hence why I hadn't picked up a copy yet. It's a very good album, and a very welcome addition to my collection. Now I just need to pick up a copy of I Am The Movie on vinyl and I'll have the Motion City Soundtrack discography.

I saw this band live a couple of weeks ago and they were awesome. I would highly suggest that if you get a chance to check out their albums or their live show, you should do it. You won't regret it.

Also, it should be noted that this comes in three different colors; pink, white and clear. It was a tough decision, but I decided to go with the pink as I think it was a good choice for this record.

MGMT - Congratulations

Well, I'll be honest. I haven't really listened to this record yet. I only know the two songs ("Flash Delerium" and "Brian Eno") that they played on Saturday Night Live when they were on last year. I just happened to be in Urban Outfitters with the girlfriend and noticed they had a clearance vinyl section (score). 


Every time I had ever seen this in a store, it has been 30 bucks, which I always thought was a bit steep and prohibited me from picking up the record. When I saw it was only ten bucks, however, I figured now was as good a time as ever to pick it up. 


It should also be noted that the cover is a scratch off cover and has the consistency of a scratch ticket. It's very strange. I'll probably end up scratching it off some time in the near future. When I do, I'll post another update with a picture of what it looks like underneath.


Now here's to hoping that overpriced Arcade Fire The Suburbs LP goes on clearance in the near future.

Weezer - Pinkerton (Deluxe Edition)

Hey there, blogosphere. It's been a long time, I know. Anyway, I've gotten some goods over the last month or so, and I've also got some goods coming in the mail, so hopefully you'll see lots of good posts from me in the near future, that is, if you care.


Anywho, my latest acquisition is the epic 4 LP deluxe edition of Weezer's 1996 record, Pinkerton. I already own a pressing of the original version, but this deluxe edition is just too awesome to pass up. It's got over 20 bonus tracks on 3 additional LPs along with tons of new artwork and essays, as well as lyrics to most of the songs. For some strange reason, the lyrics to "El Scorcho" are not included. That's okay though, as I already know them. Also, as an FYI for those of you who don't, the line is "watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table." That one seems to confuse everyone for some reason.


Back on topic though, this set is beautiful. It's a tad pricey, but if you're a Weezer fan and a collector of vinyl, I really don't see how you could pass it up. Even if you're neither. Pick up the CD, or at least download it. It's a terrific album, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a gigantic Weezer fan. I mean, come on, Pitchfork gave the reissue a 10. Yeah, that's right, Pitchfork.
