BLACKWELL'S RECORD OF THE WEEK + GIVEAWAY

Sven Wunder

Toryanse

scum stats: they probably pressed a decent amount...

I'm neck deep in White Stripes archival work today and then old tour manager John Baker called and we talked about old time like a couple of old guys. For seventy minutes. And I still need to update the wider team with some historical White Stripes fact-checking.

So I'm phoning in this one.

You know you've got a problem when you accidentally buy the same record twice. I don't wanna hear shit about your Discogs collection usage...I PRE-ORDERED this record twice. That's just silly dumb. And shit wasn't cheap, something like $25 all-in. Don't tell my wife. Or do. Whatever. I don't care.

Anyway, the slow erosion of my short-term memory and eventual descent into madness is YOUR gain. Impress me in the comments, however you think best, and you get my extra copy of this record.

The songs are stylized takes on traditional Japanese folk songs from the Edo period. "Toryanse" is oftentimes played in connection with traffic crosswalks in Japan. When the music is done...it is safe to walk. That's pretty cool, though I think "Sakura" is far more of a jam here...just drum style for days.

Delivered with the slavish attention to detail that I've come to expect from Sven, I'm eagerly awaiting more material from their realm.

And back to the archives.

You didn’t actually order two. One is viable in this reality only. The other is for the new timeline that you will enter somewhat seamlessly sometime in January ?. We messed up on our end it was just a glitch. Please disregard the 2nd copy.

Sven Wunder is a BEAST….
I totally want to win this too! Whoever wins this is in legendary mode! He rules hard and this sold out on the LITA site where he normally shows.

Lucas Braam

I could use some

WeeBee

I do that shit all the time, but it gives me an excuse to give a good vinyl record to an unsuspecting. teen

Ben I know the feeling in your gut when you realize this mistake. I have a few copies of Fleetwood Mac Rumors, and with all the pressings out there they are the same ones too ! so I know the face plant palm well too my friend :)

Thanks James!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally had been awake a few days like wound up doing homework mostly about Jack lol. I think he is underrated. I get a bit one track minded then I chill out. Hey, most ppl like my personality. How I roll. That’s sweet of you to say. I hope we get a new release from Jack soon. I am on one to see the strokes again as well. OMG, I had to sit though jet as an opening band for “The Strokes” once. They were at First Ave and you get to crowd around the band, so I suffered though.
