Vinyl sales jumped 39 percent in 2011, music industry not quite dead
There’s been a lot of doom-and-gloom talk in the music industry for several years now. Execs keep blaming internet piracy for slumping sales figures while record stores large and small are closing their doors. But it seems like the industry keeps chugging back, refusing to fully die.
We previously noted a very tiny increase in sales for the first half of 2011 — up one percent compared to the first six months of 2010 — which was the first sales boost since 2004. It seems the good news continued through the rest of the year.
Nielsen SoundScan reported that vinyl records saw a huge bump in sales last year — 3.9 million units, compared to 2.8 million in 2010. That adds up to a 39.3 percent increase.
Vinyl has been slowly crawling back into public consciousness for a few years now, and it’s gone from a hipster-nostalgia thing to a more widespread resurgence. It’s possible to buy albums from some really popular artists on records, as opposed to just the obscure indie acts, which means the medium will naturally have more mass market appeal. And whatever else you might want to say about mass market appeal, the fact is that it will translate into larger sales.
Consumers aren’t stupid. For people to spend money, they have to be getting a product that’s worth it. As the Dead Kennedys said, “Sales are slumping and no one will say why. Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?”
Focusing on putting out higher quality records instead of flash-in-the-pan garbage will help. There were a lot of decent releases in 2011 from a lot of well-known acts, so that had to be a boost.
Records are, in fact, a really good way to keep people actually paying for music instead of pirating it, as well. A lot of fans love the tangible aspect of the format and the accompanying larger-scale artwork. Bands can also include extra incentives to make the deal even sweeter, like bonus tracks or free posters, that aren’t included in other versions. And if they put in a free download code, the listener can also grab a digital copy to load into their iPod.
Events like Record Store Day encourage artists to put out special edition releases, like singles or bonus tracks, that are available in limited quantities in selected stores. It makes people want them, and it’s pretty win-win — the consumer gets unique stuff on top of the album, and the artist gets to actually make a living.

The hideout comps, by the way are fucking killer!
kopper said:
Yeah, I've got an iPod, too, I guess I'm just too lazy to put all the podcasts on it and bring it with me... especially for just a 15-minute drive to work. I usually just listen to our local community radio station (KDHX) or NPR. :)

If you have mobile capabilities (I pay $10 a month) and can listen to almost anything I want streaming with no interruptions with Spotify... I never turn my music off tho... If you don't mind commercials, you can get spotify on any internet phone or connected computer for free.,, There is a lot of stuff I would never expect to find. The bands you want to hear an album from, but can't have 1 song on the hideout comps (on spotify.)

Growing up listening to K-SHE 95 in St. Louis, this song was on the radio constantly:
I always thought the first verse of that song went:
Heartbreak the salt shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroll the midnight soda
When they been seein' mustard, too
Heh...

We´re workin on new songs.
Gonna send you in the next deadline.
Thanx for the comps.

Once I learn my basics, you can make fun of me for how shitty my French is & maybe I'll learn how to be shitty to people in 2 languages :)
Mina said:Haha cool, yeah I'm trying to learn Spanish as well in order to learn Portuguese. Someday I wanna go to Brazil and they speak Portuguese there. :-) Oh and I had French at school for like 6 years, so I know my way around :P
Bobby said:Mina... You got my taste... (I know yer a Voodoo Rhythm fan like me), I am learning French so that I can understand Zydeco songs, but now I have to learn Spanish to learn Spanish garage rock songs.

Building up an order... The hideout comps aren't helping my budget much.
kopper said:
Here's one you probably don't have, but is an amazing live recording from a Minneapolis band who was around in the late '70s playing wild & raucous garage trash when no one else was! It's insanely good...

there were times, when we were about to purge all the cash for a flight to NY to go and see the Chrome Cranks... thinking about it, still got that on my eight-track mind. But maybe we're lucky :-)

Any exact release date/ label?

Jeff (Dan Electreau) is on here, he may be of help:

I'd also recommend leaving a comment on the show post here.
January 5, 2012 8:55 PM CST
Have you Google searched it yet? It's a good possibility that something may come up, especially with all the music sharing blogs out now.
January 5, 2012 8:26 PM CST
It's from episode #62 for reference.
January 5, 2012 8:24 PM CST
Just listened to an older episode of Flying Saucer Rock and Roll and Dan Electreau closed it out with this track. Does anyone know where one can find this?? Would love to find this gem of a tune for FM airplay. Cheers!
