#hit self-destruct

STEPHEN'S NEW STUFF ROUNDUP! Showin' off some new additions to my collection: 1-2: Superchunk Hit Self-Destruct 10"EP        This 10", pressed on blue vinyl, was released on Australian label Hippy Knight in 1992 to go along with Superchunk's Australian tour that year. Snagged this bad boy on eBay for just $10.50! 3-4: Bombadil All That The Rain Promises LP       Released on CD in 2011, Big School Records gives this gem of an album the vinyl treatment it deserves: pressed on emaculate bone-colored vinyl, and limited to just 300 copies. Available Now! 5: Dexter's Laboratory: The Hip-Hop Experiment 7"     Pressed on Transparent Green Vinyl, this Kid Rhino release features tracks by Will.I.Am and Prince Paul that were once featured on Cartoon Network as musical accompaniment to short Dexter's Laboratory cartoons. Found this at Milk Crate in Philadelphia for just $5.

6: Ghostface Killah Fishscale 2xLP     Found this hip-hop classic (featuring tracks produced by JDilla, Madlib, Metal Fingers, and many more, as well as appearances by the Wu Tang Clan and a vinyl-only bonus track featuring Raekwon and Notorious B.I.G.) for just $12 at MilK Crate in Philadelphia \m/ 7: Silver Jews Hot As Hell: Live 1993 7"     Released on Sea Note Records in 1999, this little gem of a 7" features 2 live tracks (a cover of the Rolling Stones' Cocksucker Blues, and their own The Walnut Falcon) and was a steal for just $4 at Milk Boy in Philly.

8: Superchunk Learned To Surf 7"     Released on One Four Seven Records and Limited to just 500 copies worldwide, this UK-only 7" features Learned To Surf (from the band's last LP Majesty Shredding), as well as the 7"-only b-sides Sunny Brixton (unreleased original) and Bad Influence (a Neon Christ cover). Merge Records offered a limited number of these up for sale on their website for just $8. There may be still be some available.

9: Superchunk Indoor Living LP     Not only did I find a copy of this classic, as-of-yet-not-reissued album for only $20 at Milk Crate in Philly, but it was even still sealed! Doesn't get much better than that! 10: Superchunk Setlist from The Cat's Cradle, 7/12/2012       I was lucky enough to see Superchunk play a blistering set at The Cat's Cradle last Thursday, July 12th, and I was even LUCKIER enough to snag the setlist that Mac and Laura were sharing onstage. What a night!
