One of my very favorite activities is digging through a record store bargain bin. The thrill of the hunt I guess. And as CDs get more and more expendable, I find more and more treats. One a recent trip to SF, I spent some time in the Amoeba bargain bin and came up with these releases:
Afghan Whigs - Congregation (Sub Pop, 1992) (classic)
Americans In France - Crawling (Odessa, 2011) (NC indie weirdness)
Battleship - Battleship (On/On Switch, 2006)
Caltrop - World Class (Holidays for Quince, 2008) (NC metal)
Centro-Matic - Candidate Waltz (Undertow Music Collective, 2011) (see review here)
Cheap Time - Cheap Time (In The Red, 2008)
Cococoma - Things Are Not All Right (Goner, 2009)
Coconut Coolouts - Party Time Machine (Xeroid, 2007) (awesome party punk)
Drunk Horse - In Tongues (Tee Pee, 2005) (SF metal)
Eddy Current Suppression Ring - Rush To Relax (Goner, 2010) (one of the best records of last year)
Magnolia Electric Co - What Comes After The Blues (Secretly Canadian, 2005)
Meric Long - Dodo Bird (Self Released, 2006) (pre-The Dodos)
Mind Controls - Mind Controls (Dirtnap, 2006) (one of Mark Sultan's bands)
Strange Boys - And Girls Club (In The Red, 2009)
The War On Drugs - Slave Ambient (Secretly Canadian, 2011)
Wild Wild Geese - Sorry, Earth (Odessa, 2010) (more NC indie weirdness)
