Kindercore has become a daily stop in my vinyl life - I never quite know what they'll find in their garage. The latest
mindblower has been them finding more copies of Of Montreal's
Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies, pressed on swirling colored vinyl (and $20!!!!). I had been holding out hope that they would find more, despite the "Sold Out" tag that had been next to this item for the past few weeks. Also still in stock is an equally-exciting pressing of
The Gay Parade, pressed on black vinyl with a bonus 7". I don't need to tell you how extremely out-of-print these albums are. If you don't buy copies today, you're likely not going to find any tomorrow.
Kindercore has been ferreting out some amazing CDs as well. The most exciting (for me) is their discovery of a few boxes of brand-new copies of
Kindercore Christmas 2. This is one THE BEST Christmas compilations ever put together, with STANDOUT tracks by The Sixth Great Lake, Dressy Bessy, The Four Corners, Kincaid and the Wee Turtles - along with a very rare appearance by the Kings of Convenience singing a traditional Norwegian Christmas carol. This compilation is NOT TO BE MISSED this Christmas season.
Finally, Kindercore has come across some additional copies of their fantastic 3-disc retrospective,
Kindercore 50: We Thank You. Apparently a celebration of fifty releases without going out of business, this bargain (at $15) comes with a disc of "greatest hits," a disc of new material, and a disc of remixes - featuring Of Montreal, Olivia Tremor Control, Essex Green, I am the World Trade Center, and many more. If you don't already own a copy (I do), here's a great chance to pick one up...along with everything else they have in their shop. REMEMBER, they have VERY LIMITED STOCK of these garage/basement finds - could be 10, 20, or even less. These are not items to ponder...

Hey there, sounds like you like indie christmas comps! Well, we've just put one out in the last week and its called An Indiecater Christmas. You can listen to the whole album over at our site www.indiecater.com Love to hear what you think of it! thanks. kevin
are origional pressings of "the gay parade" as rare as it seems? everywhere i look for one it seems that there aren't even any available. i managed to grab a copy a long time ago, and i'm trying to check it's value.... but you can't check the value on something noone seems to be selling.
