T-USED-Day Update

T-USED-Day Update 
(Get it?! Sincerest apologies to all who have sensitivities to bad jokes.)
at Redscroll Records

Here's something we don't normally do. There's no telling when we'll next do it either. We just happen to get a collection of what we call "good stuff" in so we thought it might be good to share with all who follow us on the interwebz. Prices listed here are the in-store prices. The online listed prices (most of these are up on Discogs - You can browse the latest few additions to our sales to see this all there) have added cushion for associated fees (besides the fact that we like to reward those that make the trip to actually shop in the store). If you are coming by and are worried about someone sniping something you really want then by all means send us an email or call us up (this stuff is actually already moving pretty fast and this list would be much longer if it included all that already went out the door). Happy browsing/shopping/living/listening!

Luke Temple – Don’t Act Like You Don’t Care
(Western Vinyl)


Also known for performing under the moniker Here We Go Magic, Temple is a Salem, Massachusetts-born singer-songwriter/guitarist who creates both colorful visual art and acoustic folk-pop. He’s clearly experienced with both his instrument and falsetto voice, whether he’s backed by up to five other musicians (synth, piano, drums, etc.) mostly in the first half, or his more reserved, primarily-solo ballads on the second half. The lo-fi, rustic sound fits excellently: I enjoyed the energy that the album kicks off with, particularly the fun, jingling bell-driven “In The Open” and celebratory, country-tinged centerpiece “Ophelia.” One of his most unique moments is with “You Belong To Heaven;” a romantic ballad that, in addition to his guitar and thoughtful-sounding voice, uses a light, nuanced piano and faint recording hiss that helps him sound strikingly like an early crooner.

Wednesday Weekly Video Volume 4

Wednesday Weekly Video Volume 4

Have you ever had to talk a friend out of dancing with his mom to this song at his wedding? I have!

These Brooklyn (by way of Florida) post punkers first put this song out in 2010 (7" on Slumberland) and it then appeared on their full length the following year (also on Slumberland and followed by an EP on Sacred Bones Records). Solid Joy Division channeling.

Pantera rules. We just got reissues in for "Reinventing The Steel", "The Great Southern Trendkill" & "Official Live:101 Proof". RIP Dimebag.

Two years before this At The Gates performance, the singer's other band, Disfear played at the American Legion down the street from here with Stabyou... & Phobia. That show was great too, but I don't think anyone taped it.

Full Of Hell was one of the most impressive hardcore bands I saw live in the last year. The noise elements are great buildups for the brutally fast, hardcore assault these guys unleash.  

Bad Brains are one of the most important bands in rock history. Please take an hour sometime in the near future and watch this video in it's entirety. It's crazy to me that this took place years before I was even born.

In the early 2000's when "screamo" was exploding, Alone Records was releasing many of the more popular bands in the genre, Usurp Synapse, Jeromes Dream, Joshua Fit For Battle, etc... Of those, The Saddest Landscape is the only band that has forged ahead, crafting new music and gaining a world-wide fan base. In 2012 they released, "After The Lights" on Topshelf Records. This video is for the first song off that album, "In Love With The Sound".

Willis Earl Beal – Acousmatic Sorcery
(XL Recordings)

In addition to obviously sharing a word in each name, it’s easy to draw comparisons between Beal and the late Wesley Willis: both are warm-natured, creative personalities from Chicago, where they never let their especially low-income realities get in the way of their music and art (Beal even openly shares his address and phone number for anyone who wants a drawing made or a song sung for him or her.) With pretty much just his bellowing voice and a few found objects (a standard-sounding acoustic guitar, something that sounds like a tweaked music box, some unidentified clinking and clanking items, etc.,) Beal has created an endearing sound that’d only be ruined if it were polished. He proves his versatility with several styles such as gritty blues crooning (“Take Me Away”) and ambitious, thoughtful rapping (“Ghost Robot.”) He shines the brightest, however, on his intimate acoustic ballads: his personal, calmly delivered lyrics on tracks like “Evening’s Kiss” and “Monotony” really do sound like they’re coming straight from the heart.



Tanlines – Mixed Emotions
(True Panther Sounds)

I’ve always enjoyed the comfortable, lush sounds of 80s synth-pop, so this Brooklyn duo’s summery, danceable tunes feel right at home for me. It’s no surprise that they cite their childhood bands (such as New Order) as influences, with the result sounding like a fresh, organic take on the style. Vocalist-guitarist-keyboardist Eric Emm’s solid baritone stands out: he developed a more natural, spirited and thoughtful technique after he and Jesse Cohen (drums, keyboards, bass) were evicted from their studio. It’s fitting to hear such a voice in tracks like the tidal ambience-washed opener “Brothers” and the island-flavored “Yes Way” and “Real Life,” the latter of which has the happy synth buoying a steel drum rhythm. The most dream-like track “Abby” drifts through a synthesized nebula with its interestingly repeated lyrics (“I don’t want to do any more than you / even though I fall behind…”)
