One of Austin's most storied record stores, Sound Exchange, is going out of business. I remember going there with Lurvig and Craven and picking up a New Order poster, while Lurvig hunted for My Bloody Valentine imports. Anyway, since its my last chance to go through their bins and everything is 30% off, I decided to blow my Christmas money on some wax today. Back in the day, Loophole special ordered Pankow's Gisela from Mohawk, so I picked that up. Even if its another Godfathers fiasco, its still worth having their cover of "Warm Leatherette." Here's the rest of my haul, The Ventures Play Telstar (futuristic easy-listening surf-rock I loved as a child), Electronic Sound Constructions by Crescent, Sweet Revenge by John Prine, Close to the Bone by Tom Tom Club, The Jam EP, and Sidelong by Ui. Not a bad haul, six LPs and an EP, for $27.
