Record Shops

29 Thursday Apr 2010

I’ve blogged in the past about the demise of the record store. But I came across a little video clip on Glorious Noise trailoring a documentary on the subject:

“Re-Vinylized” trailer from John Boston on Vimeo.

When I go travelling on business, and often being on my own I have a chance to go looking for those record stores that manifest the character of Nick Hornby’s Championcip Vinyl.  rummaging through the racks looking for something different and interesting is a good way to kill some time.  so I thought I’d point out a couple those fine emporiums I’ve encountered:

Polyester Records in Melbourne – a hint of commercialisation, but a brilliant section on Oz & Kiwi artists.  More Empire Records than Championship Vinyl.

Basement Discs – good stock of vinyl, big on Folk.  Easily missed as its only a small entrance at street level – but basement is big, right in the centre of Melbourne.

Dixons Recycled Disc – several stores around Melbourne (I visited the Prahan store as I wondered down Chapel Street) stocking second hand, or better put ‘pre-loved’ music.  An aladin’scave of stuff. Yes, lots of the dross, but jems among them.

Amoeba Music – San Fransisco, a short cab ride from the city centre. But a place of pilgrimage.

Rasputin Music – heart of San Fransisco, just a minutes walk from Union Square and could be giving Amoeba a run for its money.

Peter Gabriel – New Blood Tour

concert, New Blood, Peter Gabriel, tour

The New Blood tour is following on the back of his Scratch My Back album – A different take on the covers album, by working the covers as orchestral pieces.

So the tour means a large Orchestra rather than his regular touring band. The concert has much in common with a traditional orchestral performance with the first half being the new album end to end. After the interval we’re treated with some great reworkings of his own songs. Some obvious choices and others not so.

With a large orchestra Peter can’t provide the usual style of performance he lays on with zorb balls, Sedgeways, massive moving floors. That’s not to say this was not a class Gabriel visual feast. No, we get curtains made from massive U2 style displays, visuals behind the orchestra; several camera crews filming, often right in the middle of the musicians so the stage side screens get you into the heart of the action.

So a beautiful and stunning concert. I have posted some photos on our flickr account. What is cool is that the guy (Stefan Goodchild) who produced some the visuals has found my pictures ans some by a few others (possibly more professional than mine) and put them together into a collection to show his work which can be found here.

If you read the journal, the artist will be making some video clips of the work available. We would highly recommend checking them out, along with the blog.
