AMAZING TOTALLY WASHED OUT DENIM!!!

BRAND SPANKIN NEW STILL IN THE BOX 80'S 3D CAMERA SET THAT INCLUDES THE FLASH AND A CASE!!
FLORIDA 7"- LIMITED TO 300 COMPLETE WITH 3D GLASSES!!!!

ON SHDWPLY RECORDS ( GARY WAR, SUPER VACATIONS, SORE EROS,ETC!)

"Fantastic all-analog recording with Gary War at the helm from this new Florida-based Shdwply signing. The A side has a heavy massed-vocal west coast 60s psych feel, with a track that might have turned up on the first Quicksilver Messenger Service LP rendered in the perfect underwater production style of Gary War. The flip might be even better, a dark downer folk ballad that combines the kinda haunted chorale style of Jakob Olausson with a doomier biker/eschatological private press feel that peaks in martial drumming and sad arcs of wailing twin guitar that you kinda wish would go on forever. Shdwply have the most authentic modern umbilical to the heart of 60s psych and this might well be one of their most plugged in blats yet. Could really do with an album from these guys but this hand-numbered edition of 300 7” complete with classy 3D glasses more than plugs the gap. Can’t stop spinning it. Highly recommended."

-Volcanic Tongue

TELEPHONO!

2009-04-10T14:49:00.004-04:00

will our friends ever stop being totally amazing? i hope not! our long time buddy DAVID MATYSIAK put together this amazing project, limited to 250 ever made and we have a few up here at vavcation for ya. contributors include people from THE SWIRLIES, SEBADOH/FOLK IMPLOSION, THE FAINT AND MORE.

Telephono is an audio experiment that allows musicians to communicate with one another by manipulating audio files. Inspired by the classic children’s game “Telephone,” this interpretation involves sending a unique audio file to a musician via the internet. That musician then chooses whether to edit the piece or simply pass it on to the next person in the chain. Telephono is about the process, not the product. That being said, the product (the boxset) here is a tribute to the process.

more info on davids bad ass project found here (check out the npr interview!) telephono.org

do you live to far away to stop by and get this? then call us! well sell it to you over the phone!!

SHE IS PERFECT!

STEEVE KEENE EXPLOSION!!

2009-04-09T16:46:00.004-04:00

STEVE KEENE IS AN AMERICAN ARTIST WHO'S MASS PRODUCED HAND PAINTED WORKS ARE NOTORIOUSLY AFFORDABLE AND RECOGNIZABLE. A STEVE KEENE PAINTING CAN BE SPOTTED IMMEDIATELY. HE WAS CALLED THE "ASSEMBLY LINE PICASSO" BY TIME MAGAZINE!

STEVE SAYS "I WANT MY PAINTINGS TO BE LIKE BUYING A RECORD, ITS CHEAP, ITS ART, IT CHANGS YOUR LIFE BUT THE OBJECT HAS NO STATUS. MUSICIANS CREATE SOMETHING FOR THE MOMENT, SOMETHING WITH NO BOUNDRIES AND THAT KIND OF EXPANSIVENESS IS WHAT I WANT TO COME ACROSS IN MY WORK."

MOST OF YOU MAY RECOGNIZE THE PAVEMENT COVER HE DID FOR WOWEE ZOWEE...WE THINK STEVE RULES, AND WE JUST GOT A TON OF HIS PAINTINGS IN AT VACATION. ALL PAINTINGS ARE BETWEEN $10 AND $25 DOLLAZ....HERES SOME OF THE BAND ONES WE HAVE, COME BY AND CHECK IT!!

Hanne Mugaas:
2009 CUTE EVEN IN THE DARK
The Cute Even in the Dark 2009 Calendar has images of animals that were taken in the dark with a flash. The eyes of animals often glow in the dark, which the flash reinforces. The images were downloaded from the Internet, and all the animal eyes have been hand-painted with glow-in-the-dark paint so that they come alive at night!

Sunday Instore w/Nite Jewel* 6pm*

2008-12-06T17:47:00.004-05:00

Nite Jewel is awesome and has been with Deerhunter on their U.S. tour for the last couple of weeks.
Come out tomorrow night at 6pm...free as always.

*************************************************************
L.A.'s Nite Jewel records her otherwordly, wilfully lo-fi dance jams "solely on portable 8-track cassette deck, often composing her songs by layered tape edits." The results sound like a perfect, hazy union between the sweetly bizarre experimental avant-pop of her friends Ariel Pink and Tickley Feather, and the dreamy cosmic disco of Italians Do It Better heroes Glass Candy and Chromatics. Or something not too far from that, anyway. Of course, she's also been described as sounding like Debbie Deb if she "...got a xanax script and drank a ton of cough syrup," so let's just go with that.
