Thursday I got paid and GABI from Arizona came to Normal Records. The event was suppose to start at 5:30 PM but only one of the opening bands was there hanging around. Disappointed me after planing my day around the show. I worked out in the morning so I could make it on time after work. Either way, no reason to get upset, so I perused the shop as always. Out of the muck came an old gem.
Mogwai’s Hardcore Will Never Die was my sixth best/favorite album of 2011. Looking back, it would fall second to Real Estate’s Days. I’ve listened to both regularly but never crossed my mind to own Mogwai’s album now that I’m a vinyl connoisseur. Had to grab it. Totally worth the $20 to take it home that instant, especially after checking Discog and Amazon. Hearing it on wax in my living room is the best way to experience this masterpiece. Glad to own one of my favorite albums from this decade.
