Howdy ladies and gents,

Been away for a bit, between Berlin Buzzwords, a trip to Copenhagen, Venice, seeing Bruce Springsteen in Trieste, hiking Velika Planina in Slovenia, and camping in Baska on Krk island in Croatia, this guy’s been on the move. Fear not though, for I am back and full of summer energy.

Here’s the latest from the music blogosphere:

Until next time,

Another year, another Record Store Day.

Some blogs I read are heralding it as the largest music event in the world. Pretty sweet sauce – you’d think that for something of that magnitude, a cultural European center the size of Ljubljana might have something going on. Unfortunately, no. Ljubljana has no proper record shops, just a couple of music stores that look like they transported here from the mid-90’s, and I have to read about events like Other Music’s in-store DJ lineup of Suckers, Four Tet, Ex Cops, The Men, and Wild Nothing, not to mention the fact that the releases I’m listening to online are actually available there on 7 inch vinyl

: (

Last year I prepared myself better and made a day trip to Zagreb to see some in-store performances and buy some vinyl, and despite talk of making a road trip to Austria this year with some friends, this year finds me unprepared and sitting on my couch. Oh well. I guess I’ll have to settle for internet streams this year – at least this year finds me with a record player to listen to the few vinyls I’ve been able to collect over the past year.

Either way, here are my picks:

And a couple of non-RSD picks: Happy Record Store Day. Next year in Jerusalem!

Had another coughing fit to keep me up for a few hours in the middle of last night, but this one turned into a coding session instead of a blogging session (lucky Zemanta!). Either way, it’s too early to get out of bed (not enough sleep), so I’m gonna do a bit of blogging. Onto the music (there’s a lot today!):

New records to check out this week:

Cloud Nothings – Attack on Memory The Darcys – AJA Laura Gibson – La Grande Craig Finn (of The Hold Steady) – Clear Heart Full Eyes

 

Happy Thursday, you guys – see you next time, when I’ll be 27!
