((((( NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl ))))) Mastodon, Dylan, Arthur Russell, The Sonics & Lotus Plaza

BOB DYLAN John Wesley Harding LP
BOB DYLAN The Times They Are A'Changing LP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

LOTUS PLAZA The Floodlight Collecting LP / CD
*** "LOCKETT PUNDT’s (DEERHUNTER) first full-length is an expansive meditation on the modern history of the pop song with an obvious appreciation for the atmospheric vocal harmonies of the ‘50s, the Brill Building writers of the ‘60s, and the sounds of the early ‘80s postpunk UK scene."

MASTODON Divinations b/w Divinations (Instrumental) 12"
*** Brutal track plus instrumental version of brutal track.

ARTHUR RUSSELL The Sleeping Bag Sessions 2xLP / CD
*** "In 1981 Arthur Russell & Will Socolav set up Sleeping Bag Records, releasing classic NYC records -- DINOSAUR L, FELIX, CLANDESTINE, and INDIAN OCEAN. The album is again very experimental, and makes occasional uneasy listening but the same magic is very much in evidence."

THE SONICS Here Are... LP
*** "The demented debut album from these loud-ass 1960s Nor'west punk kings."
