Anyone thinking of getting the U2 10 inch for the remix on the b side

Don’t

It’s truly awful and has somehow managed to make a 💩 song even 💩 er

I nearly crashed my car trying to turn it off

The song is awful, as is the remix. I felt obligated to buy it only because I have every RSD/BFRSD release they've ever put out (some are still sealed) and we saw two shows in Vegas, and the graphics during it were phenomenal. Listened to it on Sat and filed it away, probably to never be spun again.

I almost had to apologise for buying it on my video … the best thing about it is the polylined inner sleeve !

I grabbed one of the variants of the new Taylor Swift album from Aomeba and it came with this little note.

The mom of a girl two behind me in line, went into the store to buy a copy of it as they were giving out friendship bracelets (and that note) with purchase. PREX only had the white variant left at the time, so the mom apologized to the daughter, saying "I know you have this one already, but it's the only variant left and the only way to get a bracelet" I laughed quietly, knowing full well I have done the same in the past.

Mom was also on the phone to another record store asking about Olivia while in line as it looked likely that they would run out by the time we got to the merch. Yes, I've done that, too.
 
Really enjoyed RSD this year. In part, it was the in-person experience at my local. But a large part was the camaraderie on N&G. And the list was really diverse this year too. I now know about a couple of artists I had never heard of previously.

Now I wait for the first store to do a 50% off remaining titles list. Please tag me if you see such a sale. Some of those jazz titles (notice there's been very little discussion of them this year) will be much more attractive at 1/2 price.

This was actually the first RSD in a couple of years that I stood out and waited instead of strolling into the store later in the day. Partly due to my son not playing tee ball this spring. I didn't get to snap a picture but grabbed...

U2 - Atomic City (this song has actually grown on me *ducks*)
Pearl Jam - Dark Matter (Yellow and Black Ghostly, the Regional was gone by the time I got in)
Fleet Foxes - Live on Boston Harbor
Super Furry Animals - Fuzzy Logic B-Sides and Besides

I'll have to keep in mind if there's any in demand indie type releases to check in with you all next year. The crowd at my store definitely leans more classic rock. My store had 1 Fleet Foxes and I was about 20th in line and got it.
