Between giving themselves a band name better suited to the Oklahoma Tourism Board and becoming better known for their videos than their music, Ok Go put out this crisp and crackling little debut album that has aged pretty well.

Some info here:
The special titles on the Record Store Day 2026 Official List will be released at participating record stores as part of their celebration of Record Store Day, April 18. That list is here and you can choose to view the List on our website, with added detail and artwork, or you can print out a PDF that can be used as a wishlist or shopping guide.

OW DOES RECORD STORE DAY WORK?
The special releases are only a part of what Record Store Day is about but let’s focus on those for a minute.

RECORD STORE DAY DOES NOT SELL THE RELEASES ON OUR SITE
The point of our “holiday” is to celebrate at brick-and-mortar record stores. That’s where to find these special releases, starting on Saturday, April 18

RECORD STORE DAY DOESN’T GIVE OR SELL THE RELEASES TO THE STORES
Every store who sells the special releases places orders directly with distributors, just like they do with any new release or restock they make all year long. Every store makes their own decisions about which titles to bring in. There is no minimum stock level or dollar amount required for stores to make an order.

DO ALL RECORD STORES HAVE ALL THE RELEASES?
Nope. Record stores are all unique, especially when it comes to what they sell. Our List of special titles is made to have something for everyone, and every store, and most stores won’t bring in everything on the List (some stores don’t bring in any of them). We always encourage you to be buddies with your record store all year long, so they get to know you and what kind of music you like. It’s a beautiful thing when you find the record store you’re destined to be with!

If you're looking to find a record store near you to get releases on the List, look for a PLEDGE BADGE on their listing. Stores with Pledge Badges can bring in the releases -- they'll still make their own decisions about what they're bringing in but these are the stores where you'll find any of the new releases.

ARE THERE PRE-ORDERS?
Nope. These releases are a part of the special celebration that is Record Store Day – a party favor, of sorts, that you take home as a souvenir of the day you spent at a record store.

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A RECORD STORE OR DIDN’T FIND WHAT I WANTED?
After the big day, record stores may choose to sell from their websites or from their marketplace accounts so they can reach customers further out. That starts on Sunday, April 19 We definitely recommend looking at store websites and accounts rather than buying from flippers. (maybe start at rsdmrkt.com which is kind of like a 24 hour record fair, and all the booths are cool record stores!)

There are three categories on our List:

EXCLUSIVES: These titles are physically released only at indie record stores.

RSD FIRST: These titles are found first at indie record stores but may be released to other retailers or webstores at some point in the future.

SMALL RUN/REGIONAL TITLES: These titles are either regionally based and sold at specific stores, or are press runs under 1000, which means they may be harder to find at record stores around the country. The majority of the titles on this section of the List are Small Run titles; any title that's regionally based and most likely to be found at specific stores will have that called out in the description, which can be found on the web-based version of the List.

was sad they were out of print and forgot about it. cut to this morning where i stumbled into a record store while clothes shopping and saw this. had to pick it up!

Well, can it?

Sounds like shopping in 1971.

I originally took this photo to show the notebook, but this is also what I was listening to earlier. A perfect "unwinding at the end of the day" album.

https://www.discogs.com/release/26786159-Reliqa-I-Dont-Know-What-I-Am

Been following these Aussies for a while now. Top shelf metalcore/prog shit. Earlier work was wilder, rougher and more proggy, while the newer work leans more mainstream.

Check out “Safety” with Sean Harmanis. Absolute banger of a track.

This is a rare variant: #23 of 50

A bootleg, obviously.

https://www.discogs.com/release/32946525-Keziah-Jones-Alive-Kicking

If you haven’t heard of mr. Jones yet, go check him out. His first album “Blufunk is a Fact” is a great start.

Blues, funk, Nigerian roots. Big fun! 🤩

https://www.discogs.com/release/36875179-Raye-3-This-Music-May-Contain-Hope

Yeaaahhhh, not sure what to think of this one yet. Raye is an amazingly talented artist. Let’s begin with that statement.

Saw her live with my kid some years ago here in Holland right about the time when she was breaking through. She brought that room to tears. I have never witnessed something like that at a concert.

This woman has the spark, fo sho!

Then she drops this. Equal parts pretentious, convoluted, silly and genius? Again, not sure yet. Some of it works, some of it just misses the mark.

You can hear that the label spent LOADS of money on this. Not much inspiration or intrinsic beauty here, tho.

So yeh, I’m on the lookout for album # 3. Cuz I know she can do it!

That’s the only hope I got from this album.

Sad to hear Amadou passed away not long ago so this is their final album.

I fell in love with their album Folila, after they collaborated with Santigold, but have sadly not been able to find that one on vinyl yet.

https://www.discogs.com/release/7550126-Jennifer-Warnes-Famous-Blue-Raincoat-The-Songs-Of-Leonard-Cohen

This is a collection of Leonard Cohen songs, interpreted by Jennifer Warnes. Shoot me if you want but I like this wayyyy more than Cohen’s tired old voice.

Some of these songs are heartbreaking. Jennifer Warnes’ voice is so beautiful!

This edition is also top notch and crystal clear.
