Wrapping up #VinylDay2017

Posted in Features on July 26th, 2017 by JJ Koczan

Grooves and platters galore. My motivation behind doing Vinyl Day 2017 was simple: I felt like listening to records and sharing that process. It was kind of an off-the-cuff thing. Just an idea I had and ran with it. I figure it doesn’t need to be anything more than that, right? Isn’t putting on an album its own excuse for putting on an album? I tend to think so.

And yeah, I made it a hashtag. Because it’s the future, and hashtags. Instagrammaphone and whatnot. I’m a novice at best when it comes to the social medias, but it seems to me that if you’re going to share a full day’s worth of what you’re listening to, that’s the way to do it. So that’s what I did. If I clogged up your feed or whatever and it pissed you off, sorry.

For anyone who might’ve missed it, it turned out to be nine records of various sorts. Here they are, complete with accompanying audio when I could get it, because it’s the age of instant gratification:

There you have it. Had to be Sleep to end it. Pretty awesome day of music on the whole, and whatever was on your playlist yesterday, if it was this stuff or anything else, I hope you enjoyed. I’m gonna call Vinyl Day 2017 a definite win. Thanks for reading.

The Flying Eyes to Release Poison the Well / 1969 7″

Posted in Whathaveyou on September 23rd, 2015 by JJ Koczan

the flying eyes

Baltimore heavy psych rockers The Flying Eyes recorded their impending single in Brazil. They’ll release it through a label based in Germany. The cover was shot by a Polish photographer. If they hadn’t yet been cemented as an international act — and they have been, make no mistake — this should probably do it. Following up their 2014 Leave it all Behind Sessions mostly-acoustic collection and their last full-length, 2013’s Lowlands (review here), the H42 Records 7″ finds the four-piece taking on The Stooges in a cover mashed-up with their own “Poison the Well,” a track from their 2011 sophomore outing, Done so Wrong (review here).

You can see a video of them playing the mashup live in Germany below, but the studio version was tracked at Estúdio Superfuzz — also where Mars Red Sky recorded their last album — and will be out in three different editions early next year. The label provided the following details:

## The Flying Eyes News ##

After their last years excursion into blues and country-heavy fields, now the The Flying Eyes returns musically to the sound robes of their first albums: Psychedelic Rock!

On their last tour through Brazil, they recorded a mushup of ‘Poison The Well’ and ‘1969’ (Iggy And The Stooges Cover). The Track was mixed and produced by Gabriel Zander in the Super Fuzz Studio in Rio de Janero!

Wojtek Dobrogojski is responsible for the wonderful live shot.

On the occasion of the third anniversary of H42 Records early 2016 the single will be released in three different editions:
– Retail Edition with red artwork
– 3rd Anniversary Edition with orange artwork (Given free only for H42 Records customers)
– Testpress with black/white artwork

More about presale start and street day coming soon….
