We invite all our favorite bands to come play for a weekend," Bland says. It seems Bland is going to be less involved with the behind-the-scenes work for Austin Psych Fest, which is going on its eighth year. Wondering how he keeps himself sane, we called Bland up in the middle of a recording session with The Black Angels - that alone is exciting, given the strength of the recent Clear Lake Forest EP. See also: Seven Charities That Show Headbangers Have The Biggest Hearts Also in The UFO Club with Lee Blackwell of Night Beats, Bland is a co-founder of the record label The Reverberation Appreciation Society and one of the four organizers of Austin Psych Fest, not to mention the fact that Bland designs a lot of the artwork for his various projects. Everyone can get on board this trippy train.īland definitely has his hands full. Even The Black Keys have taken note - just compare Turn Blue to Phosphene Dream. This is excellent news for fans of Bland's more experimental, drawn-out trips, as lately The Angels have taken a more concise, pop-driven route, for better or worse. Their Lost Album, recorded in an old ice cream factory in 2007, went missing for a few years, but was thankfully found again. The Black Angels frontman, distinctive for his trademark screeches that pop off at peak of his psychedelic dirges, brings a more subdued, but still spun-out sound to his side project, Christian Bland & The Revelators. And while not exactly weirder than many other American cities (including this one), Austin does breed a distinct kind of freak, Christian Bland being one of the most notable. If you want to buy the next vinyl record in your collection or sell your merchandise, I welcome you to Vinylom and I wishe you a pleasant experience.The whole 'Don't Mess With Texas' adage was actually an anti-littering campaign, but damn if that state don't have attitude. Our love of vinyl has more to do with the numbers and sales of the marketplace.Īnd if we have to keep it alive for my pleasure and cover the development costs from my pocket, I 'll do it very gladly. Unlike Reverb LP, Vinylom is not going anywhere. And as I develop Vinylom, that will be more obvious. The content I create is unique, and my approach to the collector and the dealer is a little different. But there is also Rock, Jazz, Pop, Electronic and other kinds of music to buy. Vinylom has focused exclusively on the Metal vinyl record and the entire culture that surrounds it. They have worked very hard to get to where they are, and they deserve big respect!īut Vinylom is something different. Even the Discogs doesn't have them in his database.ĭiscogs is an excellent music database and marketplace, and they deserve every success. Vinylom marketplace already has several items for sale that do not exist anywhere else. Otherwise, You can press the Sell button and start uploading your items for saleĪnd there are already some exciting things planned that will unfold as Vinylom grows.

If you want to buy the next album in your collection, the Vinylom Marketplace has available for sale hundreds of thousands of Vinyl Records. A marketplace with items that you can't find anywhere else. In addition to the content, there is a Metal Vinyl Marketplace that grows as you read these lines. VINYLOM is a site created to promote the Metal vinyl record's history and Metal Vinyl culture as no one has done so far. From the moment they used the database that, so generously, was provided to them by Discogs without bringing anything new to the Vinyl Community map, the future was suspenseful.īut VINYLOM Marketplace is here and is built steadily and day by day. I may not have huge funding or the big investors behind me (although it wouldn't be a bad idea and I'm open to offers) and build Vinylom slowly but steadily, but my love for music and vinyl is so big that I will continue to do it forever. Maybe they realized that Reverb LP couldn't give anything new. Perhaps the "numbers" were disappointing for the new owners (Etsy) of Reverb and decided not to continue running Reverb LP. Reverb LP closed after three years of successful operation while showing signs that it would become a thriving marketplace. To be honest, when I heard about Reverb LP's closing, I was surprised.
