Record Store Day Spring 2021

There was only one thing that piqued my interest on the list of RSD releases, and that was the 2-disk, 180-gram gatefold soundtrack of John Carpenter’s Village of the Damned. It arrived today, and I have to say it’s…luscious. Dynamic range and stereo separation are what vinyl is all about. And the soundstage? Absolutely silent. Equal to my GermanĀ Kraftwerk recordings.

The Sun…

The Sun is probably the closest thing weā€™ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here:

    • Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient
    • Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long
    • Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths
    • Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion
    • Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children
    • People used to sacrifice other people to appease it
    • Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes
