Which sadly doesn’t mean the vinyl itself comes with VR capabilities, but it does come with a pretty sick headset, access to exclusive VR live performances, and a glow in the dark cover. Why’s it so cool: It’s a VIRTUAL REALITY VINYL. Not only do you get all three parts of the legend’s Berlin trilogy, but you’ll also find German and French versions of ‘Heroes’, other oddities all Bowie superfans needs, and a gorgeous book accompanying it that’ll keep you occupied for hours.īuy: Amazon Childish Gambino – ‘Awaken, My Love!’ Why’s it so cool: It’s a bit expensive, but this Bowie box set is definitely worth it. How can you resist it?īuy: Banquet Records David Bowie – ‘A New Career In A New Town’ĭAVID BOWIE – A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN (1977–1982) to be released 29/9/17 #Bowie #BoxSet #CD #vinyl /Ct1eFjned7 Why’s it so cool: The Tunbridge Wells duo glammed up their latest album for Record Store Day 2017, pressing ‘Take Control’ on white vinyl and packaging it in this very lavish gold sleeve. White vinyl, all gold foil cover and an exclusive photo book. Why’s it so cool: These records were never released outside of the Fab Four’s fan club, so if you weren’t a member (or are just way too young for that ever to have been possible) this is your first choice to own all of The Beatles’ holiday messages to their beloved “Beatles people”. This is finally happening – The Beatles' fan club Christmas Records – get official releases via Apple – on vinyl. Sick.īuy: Pax-Am Records The Beatles – ‘The Christmas Records’ The box also folds out into a stage, where you can create your own Ryan Adams show with the included action figures and stage accessories.
The result is an experiment in time travel: Through sounds of the past, he captures the tensions of the present.Why’s it so cool: It’s made up of 12 7-inch records, each a different colour with unique cover art. Coming from an artist known for taut wordplay and manically constructed similes, the broad strokes of Awaken are a shift: You’ll think eventually, but mood comes first.Īnd in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests that followed the deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, and so many more, Glover’s choice to echo a period in Black music when artists took on an explicitly revolutionary cast is a canny complement to albums like Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly and Solange Knowles’ A Seat at the Table, both of which explored Black identity with new urgency. It makes for a tonal fluidity that also marks his work on the television show Atlanta, which he created.
Like a funhouse mirror, he stretches his influences into weird shapes: The freak-outs are exaggerated to the point of comedy (“Me and Your Mama”) and the ballads romantic to the point of creepy (“Terrified”). Glover said he’d started with childhood memories of his parents playing Funkadelic and The Isley Brothers on the stereo: specific sounds and songs, but more importantly, a general feeling-one that Glover wasn’t quite old enough to grasp. On the face of it, Donald Glover’s “Awaken, My Love!” is a museum-quality rip of early-’70s funk and soul: the faded vocals, the fuzzed-out guitars, the collective sense of chaos and exuberance.
