things you may have missed.

Egon, from Now-Again Records, proves to you that children can relate to psychedelic music. Well, I guess if "Wu-Tang is for the children", then Egon is right. 

J Dilla is already part of history. I mean, he made it to the top of a lot of lists as a modern prophet of music. Vice proves it by documenting the evolution of James Yancey's style, from Jay Dee to Dilla. By the way, check the Noisey website ; it may be corporate, but it's still pretty good. They have some good stuff about The Neptunes, Clipse, Knxwledge, MF DOOM... Oh, and Gary Numan has some new stuff coming ! 

Is the Record Store Day's becoming a fraud ? Although, this release of the Doors might have me hyped.

Wow, a very good question : are we sitting on a vinyl bubble ? Probably : too many reissues, limited editions, crappy stuff etc. And of course, this resurgence also increase the demand for turntables. It's getting impossible to get cheap vintage turntable like it used to be. Sighs...

Some people are sick with the resurgence of vinyl. So they fight back with arguments in favor of CDs. Fair enough. Same goes with the resurgence of cassette tape. Could this sound comparison study ease down the vibe ?

Music in Indonesia is not only about Benny Soebardja and his multiple bands. And vinyl is getting big again over there also. Get smart by knowing about the latest Indonesian hype. And India feels the same trend. And Czech Republic too. Oh well, there won't be any heaven (meaning : places where marvelous unknown records are sold for cheap) for collectors soon...

If you live in London, did you pick your free 7" from HMV ?

Record collectors, if you have big bucks available, you can start your hunt by the records listed here. We've known for years that The Quarrymen (Lennon & McCartney's first band) and Sex Pistols have the most expensive records on Earth, but there are some surprises also. I mean, Leonid Kogan, anyone ? Okay, hate me, I'm an ignorant. For Australian people, your specific list is here. 

For those who wonder how big is ?uestlove's record collection, here's the figure : 72 000.

I've talked many times about Radio Vinyle, the TV program by Radio France. Now it's Radio World's turn to talk about it. 

Bad move from the NY Public Library : the institution is selling its records. Well, bad move for culture, good move for collectors. The hunt will be mercyless I guess.
