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.

Alkaline Trio - Good Mourning

Ah, another record came in the mail today. This time I received the Cobraside 2 LP reissue of Alkaline Trio's Good Mourning on clear blue vinyl. Only 300 copies exist on this color and are exclusive to the Aural Exploits webstore. I've been looking to pick this up for awhile, and it was reissued on a few different colors that were exclusive to a few different places, but I never could decide on one. Then Aural Exploits put theirs on sale for $14.99 instead of the $24.99 that everyone else charges. That sold me. It's a really nice looking clear blue vinyl too. Very pretty. Easy on the eyes.

Blink 182 - Blink 182

Blink 182's self titled record came in the mail today. I admittedly haven't listened to this one all too much, but it was such a sexy looking pressing that I just had to order it. This is my first piece of vinyl that I own that is half and half like this. It's pretty cool. It also should be noted that the vinyl matches absolutely perfectly with the colors on the jacket. It's a real sexy release and it's even nicer in person than it appears in these pictures. Also, you can't see it, but on the D-Side there is an etching of the Blink 182 smiley face logo. I tried to take a picture of it, but it didn't photograph well. You'll just have to trust me on that one.

It should be a good week for vinyl, as I'm expecting Alkaline Trio and Weezer records to come in the mail this week. Stay tuned, kiddos.
