Redmodeled Records

Remodeling is still in progress.

On April 12, 2007 we set up shop.  It's a little over three years later and we have moved things around more than once per year.  We used to have our office in what was (until last week) the used record room.  The office moved to the back storage area then.  Now, the office has moved to our basement.  The back room is now the used record room.  The old used record room now has sub-categories of records.  New and used CDs have new shelving.  Books and magazines are on end-cap displays.  The listening station is in the corner under the television.  7"s/45s are under the new records in the main room.  There's more to explain.  It all gets real muddled if you're trying to grasp it while reading, however.

Let me explain in pictures, both moving and static!

Before getting going with anything major in the store we had to move our big megaton 1970s (former Pratt & Whitney) steel desk downstairs.  The easiest way to move that beast is to take it apart and reassemble it in the new location.  Oh wait, if you're going down stairs the easiest way is to just take off the legs and shove it onto a pile of broken down cardboard.  Yea!

 DAY ONE:



Days two and three saw us gathering some help from our friends.  We took down all the old shelving (downstairs to be used for back-stock).  So, thanks to my folks, my brother Joe, and our friends Mike, Brian, Ryan, Rob and Melissa.  While I'm thanking people - thanks to ourselves: Rick, Josh, Sean and Bean (the dog).

DAY FOUR:


DAY FIVE:


Days six and seven saw lots of arranging.  No big movements were left at this point.  

 DAY EIGHT (If you're seeing this right away - sorry, for some reason this video is taking forever to process):


Come on by and see it for yourself.  Let us know what you think in person.

Cinco De Metal

Cinco De Metal (5-5-10)
Occasionally we help out some friends by perpetuating their pursuits. On this coming Wednesday (Cinco de Mayo - see the clever word play in the title? Bingo.) we are helping out with a show in the area. It's very close - so close that our back lot serves as the venue's parking area.

Here's your rundown:

Black Pyramid are a band out of Northampton with a description that goes, "Black Pyramid play doom with the rumbling down-tuned tones of stoner metal gods like Sleep, Electric Wizard, and High On Fire, but with the epic arrangements of old school metal and doom acts such as Black Sabbath, Pentagram, and The Obsessed. Add to the sonic brew perfectly executed forays into vintage psych and progressive rock, along with the apocalyptic lyrical ravings about war, the occult, and general alienation, and you've got an accurate picture of what the band is all about. Prepare to be crushed by the weight of the Black Pyramid..."

http://www.myspace.com/blackpyramidkills


Let the Night Roar feature a former member of Leviathan and Malevolent Creation. I'm only saying that because it seems to be said over and over wherever I look. This band stands on its own merits. Here's some press: These guys combine the doom parts of High On Fire and Sleep with the dirty sound of Celtic Frost and Venom. Very important to bands of this sound. I believe that Let The Night Roar will manage to put their name next to all the other important bands of the sound. ----HARM Magazine

http://www.myspace.com/tualatin


And finally and most eagerly anticipated are our friends in Nightbitch which features Phil of Hour of 13 and Ryan from Ipsissimus (among other righteous brethren). "Riffs and sleaze." Black Sabbath. The occult. Alucarda. Haxan. Asphyxiation. Walpurgisnacht. First show.

Gristleism - Standard/Modified

Gristleism - Standard / Modified

Gristleism. We sell this item. It's rather cool. It is so neat that I have decided to do a write up on it here. Basically, Throbbing Gristle and FM3 made a loop device together.

The one hitch with it is that there is no jack/output to plug into. If you don't need that and you just want to listen and bliss out then the standard old Gristleism box will do. ($24.50 for the standard box - as noted by the price tag in the picture.)   If you want to dissect it yourself that is half the fun for some.  Gristleism.com (Yes, this device has its own site.) even has a diagram for adding your own jack.  As a word of advice - not all of these look the same inside though they all include the same components.


We (Redscroll) recently garnered the help of our friend Donovan (Roman Wolfe) to modify a few of these to sell in the shop with a jack/output. 

Look for these at the front desk / glass case.  $34 (this covers the extra parts and labor involved while not getting too outlandish - at least we think that).   If you're seeing this from a great distance we will ship them, sure.  Contact us for shipping quotes.

Finally, I submit this (which is a video nabbed from this review that my friend David Abravenel did on the Gristleism; we also sell the Buddha Machine and the Buddha Machine II):

B.O.M.B.Fest

B.O.M.B.Fest May 30th - Durham Fair Grounds, CT
True story. There is a big music fest going on Memorial Day weekend in CT and it is pretty darn good.

Local favorites M.T. Bearington and Eula are representing New Haven. A slew of other bands from around the tri-state are set to play as well: artist line-up.

As for the headliners there is quite the mix; some bigger college aimed hip-hop acts, some hip indie rock and a veteran emo band. There are also some straight party acts and a cover band. Whatever your vibe is this most likely has at least one thing you enjoy. If you enjoy enjoying things in large groups then super extra bonus plus for you. This is a festival.

It seems there will also be a carousel and big ol' wheel for ridin'. It's on the Durham Fair Grounds so that is pretty fitting. I hope, for the sake of all attending, that there will also be a Lyman Orchards booth and some fried dough.

We (REDSCROLL RECORDS, 24 N. Colony Rd., Wallingford, CT 06492) are selling tickets to B.O.M.B.Fest! No service charge.

If you plan on going please stop by and pick up a ticket. They are $50 - considering all that this ticket comes with and goes to, that ain't bad. By the way, B.O.M.B. = Bring Our Music Back and is also the first four letters in organizer, Frank Bombaci's last name -> clever and convenient acronym. As an added karmic bonus a portion of the proceeds from this fest will go to some fine charities. " BRING OUR MUSIC BACK INC. donates over 70% of net proceeds - raised through B.O.M.B. Fests, other fundraising events and individual donations - to select national and local charities." "Here’s the best part of B.O.M.B. Fest! It’s all about the give back. Part of the money you spend will help kids who don’t have it so good….like the ones at The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp and Connecticut Children’s Hospital."



Edit to bring some bad news: Brand New has dropped off due to some personal issues (I am paraphrasing the announcement - I know nothing beyond this).

UPDATE 5/1/10: 30 Seconds to Mars (Yea, the one with Jared Leto - you know, that guy who gets his face all messed up in Fight Club) is now playing.

Record Players / Reduced Price

Recently, Numark reduced the cost of the TTUSB player. We are (upcoming cliche approaching) passing the savings along to you!


We also carry the Numark PT01 which is a portable model. And, finally, we will order upon request the Project Debut III.

The Numark TTUSB has been ol' reliable here. Josh (one of us 2 owners) has one and uses it and enjoys it often at home. It has a USB output and comes with easy to use software as well. Along with the reduced price of this Numark is offering (for a limited time) a free CX-1 cartridge with purchase of this player.

NUMARK TTUSB
New Price: $115




The Numark PT01USB also has a USB out and the same software. It is most convenient if you want to use this from place to place. If you are staying stationary with your records I'd recommend the prior model over this, however. The price on this has remained constant.

Numark PT01USB
Price: $99.99



Finally, we are pleased to say that we offer the Project Debut III turntable by request. It is a bit more pricey and a bit more for the audiophile. It is sleek with no frills (no frills = no extra parts to create extra noise). It comes in fun colors though I am not sure of what colors we can get (disclaimer there). This is comparable to the Rega P1 model that we have at the front counter often playing records in the store. I have a Project record player, myself and it is pretty great and highly recommended by me (Rick). Orders of this player would be received within 2 weeks' time and most likely it would take only 3 days.

Project Debut III
Price: $375
