Record store crawl yields Vendetta



During an LA record store crawl of Territory Records+BBQ, Origami Vinyl and Vacation Vinyl, I came across a very interesting LP from '68 by a band called Bohemian Vendetta which I bought based on the description alone - "This is one of the best acid-punk LP's ever! Excellent Vox organ/fuzz teen garage psych and the covers are pretty fantastic as well.." - the latter including a brilliant version of The Rolling Stones ' (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'.

I also picked up-

TV On the Radio - Young Liars EP
Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island
400 Blows, 7" - The Sore Thumb
Wilco, 7" - Unlikely Japan

I also got a Vacation tee for my brother :)



*Major thanks to Tony at Territory and Neil at Origami.

new vinyl pickups - Comets on Fire, Panda Bear



After a trip from LA up to Paso Robles, I hit Salzer's Records in Ventura and Just Play in SB - Salzer's was the winner.

I picked up Comets on Fire's 'Blue Cathedral' and Panda Bear's 'Person Pitch' for good prices.



Thanks to all the great staff at Salzer's. If you haven't been there, it's right off the 101N at Victoria. Upstairs they have a head shop and adult oriented goods along with a nice sticker selection, books, incense and various cool things for your place. Downstairs is all the music (vinyl, cd's) and posters, mags, etc. Going up the staircase, you can view all the tees they have for sale.
