Hello fellow Wax Head collectors, Ahead of Record Store Day this Saturday 12th April we took a look at the list to pick out what we would be buying at our local record store, and what a selection it is! After a lot of thought and deliberation we whittled it down to our top 5: No. 1 - Flying Lotus Spirit Box Ive been a huge fan of Flying Lotus for years, love his albums (Until the Quiet Comes is my personal fav record, but Parisian Goldfish is my favourite song). He also does incredible live shows (he remixes of Ghost in the Shell and FF7 Shinra Theme) Needless to say, whenever he puts out new music, its an instant must get for me. No. 2 - Slint - Tweez (Tweethan Mix) Slints Spiderland is up there as an all timer cherished album, but maybe, quite unfairly, Ive never really given its predecessor Tweez a proper chance. Thats what I love about record store day, its an excuse to indulge in records I might not otherwise do. No. 3 - Rival Consoles - Howl Wax Heads is known for its post-punk aesthetic and sensibilities, but what people may not know is it also carries my deep love for electronic music. Howl by Rival Consoles is an awesome listen and since I actually dont own it yet on vinyl, it might be time to rectify that for Record Store Day. No. 4 - Throwing Muses - Live in Providence, 1992 Throwing Muses are a band Ive gotten into recently and they exude this effortlessly cool, melancholic sunshine vibe that really describes what Repeater Records is all about in Wax Heads. A band as seasoned as this, you know a Live album is gonna be great. No. 5 - The Replacements - Tim Okay so look this one is cheating - I already own this Ed Stadium remixed deluxe edition of The Replacements seminal album Tim. But its so good I would honestly just buy it all over again. Not only is this album EXCELLENT with hit after hit (Bastards of young, Left of the dial, Swinging Party etc.) and have a great closing track which is featured in the awesome cartoon Regular Show (Here Comes a Regular) - BUT The Replacements are to me (Murray) the spirit album of what Wax Heads is all about. Their inscrutable, underdog music is what being in a band and loving music is all about, warts and all. So yes, this album rocks and it belongs very much in your collection. Let us know what you would pick up from the list? - https://www.recordstoreday.co.uk/rsd-list Take care and keep on spinning - Murray & Rothio
