Rockets & Rayguns: Vinyl Fetish Language
A selection of real descriptions from today’s Boomkat homepage update.
“Limited edition first pressing with embossed cover and 18″ x 24″ fold-out poster…”
“Limited Edition of 350 copies only in handmade cardboard/textile packaging, embossed and numbered, including printed innersleeve…”
…
Bruce, you forgot bespoke. “…handed numbered to an edition of just 300 copies for the world in beautiful bespoke packaging.”
And they like describe the music as “gauzy.” I buy a lot from Boomkat, and they cater to the music I like, but I always crack up when they use that word in their descriptions.
“…14 tracks of drone pop, gauzy ambient, breezy electro-acoustics…”
“…vocal harmonies are buoyed by gauzy layers of synth…”
“…a gauzy, somewhat paradoxical showcase…”
“…makes exemplary use of sunkissed gauzy beats, nuanced synth textures…”
“…while the gauzy, distant drums feel like…”
They specialize in gauzy.Source: rocketsandrayguns

“New music poses a threat to corporations. On the one hand, it doesn’t offer any immediate financial return, because it takes time to build up an audience. On the other hand, it offers audiences a true alternative to the lukewarm claptrap that the corporations peddle, and thus it threatens to siphon away money from the corporations…
Think about it: who were the last interesting composers to gain national attention? Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Adams. When did they become famous? In the late 1970s. When did the corporations gain enough power to control the flow of cultural information? During the Reagan years, in the early 1980s. Isn’t it an interesting coincidence that the handing over of free rein to corporate America occurred simultaneously with the apparent end of our cultural history? It just so happens that no composers born after 1940 are good enough to become well-known. Or is that just what we’ve been led to believe?”

2013-06-02
Come celebrate the release of Boards of Canada’s long awaited and highly anticipated album ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’ with the SoCal Boards of Canada Meetup group at Mount Analog in Los Angeles, Ca. Many attendees of the 5/27 listening party at the abandoned water park in the California desert will be in attendance to talk about the experience.
The TOMOROW’S HARVEST LP (no CDS) will be available for purchase. Mount Analog is one of Warp Record’s few US pre-order indie record shops where you can pick up extra goodies (rumor is that it contains a download code for a bonus track).
Hosted by myself and Mahssa from Mount Analog.
