I visited my local record store this weekend but could not find this record. Guess I’ll just have to settle for this sweet FREE stream for now.

So a few weeks ago we sat down with Chris Wrenn from Bridge Nine Records. Shortly after we got Neil from Anchorless Records to cohost an episode for us.

The following episode is both of those recording sessions spliced together!

So back in December we had the chance to catch up with the guys from Pelican during a show at Harpers Ferry in the great Allston Rock City. Laurent was able to set us up with the vinyl lover in the band, Larry Herweg, who shares responsibilities within the rhythm section with his brother Bryan on bass. It was a pain finding a good place to sit and turn the camera on, so we decided, in the middle of December, to go outside the venue and have Davey hold the camera. Davey, being the charming asshole you will come to meet in the Black Cobra interview, didn’t turn the mic on. So after trying to transcribe it for the last few months, I figured I’d give you the skinny on what these guys have been up to.

If you hadn’t learned, the guys made the switch from Hydra Head over to Southern Lord, to share space with the likes of Boris, Earth, Weedeater, and Black Cobra. Since the move, they have had 2 releases, Ephemeral and What We All Come To Need, which is now after being released on CD is finally going to see the light of wax, one of which being an exclusive to the Southern Lord Vinyl Subscription Series for 2010. This release will be limited to 550, and include 3 songs that were not released earlier in October. After hearing Ephemeral, it sounds like a much darker step into their former material, like a mature Mammoth, if you will.

The guys take a lot of pride in the packaging and design that comes with the territory of releasing their work on vinyl. It was a great pleasure to meet the guys and watch the concert after, where they killed it. Hanging with Rafa next door playing buck hunter was most certainly a great close to the year for me. The guys in Black Cobra slay, and if you haven’t had the chance to hear the new record, Chronomega, you are doing yourself a disservice. This two piece, formerly of Boston and now from L.A. have been around for a while now, with this being their fourth release, and what I would say is the perfect release to follow up Feather and Stone.

Again, we apologize greatly to Larry for what I feel like was a complete waste of his insight on upcoming news. and a poor first interview on my part.

IN GOOD NEWS THOUGH we did remember to turn on the microphone for our second interview of the night with Black Cobra. The following is Episode Eight of our Second season.

Well it’s that time of the year…and NO I’m not going to bore you with another top 10 list. Really what’s the point? Do you really care what I think the best record of ‘09 was? I doubt it…

Anyways, The Dopamines were just in town and let’s just say we got just a little drunk. They put a small dent into future episode progress but oh well…new episodes in the new year sound good?

In other news our shirts have seen some new locations recently!

Fellow Vinyl Vloggers,

This is Matt, I am new here. Get acquainted with me, I might be here a while.  Welcome to the first of many posts that we intend to help you stay informed on Vinyl Vlog happenings, maybe on a weekly basis? The kinks have yet to be worked out, so we will keep you posted. What does this mean for Vinyl Vlog, you ask? We are going to be providing you with a plethora of information regarding your favorite bands and labels, new releases, re-releases, second pressings, interviews, live footage, and maybe even some photos.

I recently had the chance to sit down and film the newest episode with my cohort Joshua.  We posted a new interview with Vinnie from LTJ and P+P, so be sure to check that out. This is a new interview we did with Vinnnie about a year or so after our first convo.

In other news, last week I had the chance to sit down with Larry from Pelican and Rafa from Black Cobra.  We will be posting a TEXT version of the Pelican interview and a normal Vinyl Vlog episode with Black Cobra. The Black Cobra interview was done by my buddy Dave, who you may see from time to time. A lot of exciting things going on in the world of Southern Lord, Pelican, and Black Cobra, and we have all the info ready for your viewing pleasure. WE MAY ALSO HAVE A BIG CONTEST COMING UP INVOLVING BOTH OF THESE BANDS SO STAY TUNED.

“Wait a second, did he just say Southern Lord, Pelican, and Black Cobra all in the same sentence? Am I on the Vinyl Vlog site right now? Did I take too much acid last night?”

Yes, yes, and maybe?  We are going to be broadening our scope of music here as well.  Joshua and I got together for the love of music and wax. We grew up listening to all the same bands and buying the same records. At the same time, we have a love for a variety of different styles of music as our old age grows upon us. We are looking for new viewers, new bands, and more content.  Upcoming segments may include labels Bridge 9, some more Southern Lord, Magic Bullet, Polyvinyl, Suicide Squeeze, and more of your favorite bands we already cover. I think Henry Rollins is coming to Boston soon? Does he like vinyl? Let’s find out!
 
Well, thanks for having me here, I hope you enjoy the latest video posted, and I hope you enjoy the bright future of things to come here at VV.  There are plenty of things to get excited about. I hope you enjoy the new direction we will be going in, as always, stay tuned for new contests, new interviews, new reviews, be well.

- Matt
