Just when I wondered why Bent's never being seen with a Rickenbacker – I'd think its rumble gnarly low-mids would fit Motorpsycho well – I remembered this:
I did and hopefully will again release stuff myself. Vinyl is not much of an effort. It only seems now so because of the "modern" digital convenience but one can't measure everything now against this, no? I'd find that quite stupid. Vinyl costs what it costs, regardless of any new or other medium.
Immediate USB sticks would be great, of course. Half of the audience would buy it I reckon. But the band is very reluctant there I presume, or simply want to keep holding TEH VINYL in high esteem and rightly so. I love having a physical medium, a gatefold sleeve with art and liner notes beats any digital convenience. Well actually for me it's more convenient to play a record, CD or vinyl. Much more than firing up the PC, navigate to the files, choose a playlist and the format with mouse and keyboard and all. I'd rather hang in my sofa drooling over a nice albumcover after pushing the lift-the-needle-to-the-first-song button on my record player.
Ah I got no MP3 player of any kind. Wouldn't know what for.
listening to Oyvind's mp3s I wonder why there wasn't a RW of this era!? The brussels chien is a monster and the others probably too. Yet to listen to them. Wow, the faster we go the rounder we get… why can't I ever get my fellow musicians there?
@T
we obviously agree.
a lol @Rob
and a ? to Fillmore:
Why a police of no vinyl then? There's always room for vinyl. If too much of a hassle then a first print only run may be an option but I wouldn't see the reason why. Don't (you) people buy MP vinyl anymore?
I agree with the sonic quality thing and I too hoped for more than 4 RW's in 12 years, but if I was told in 98 that MP will still go strong in 2011 I'd been allright with that.
And thanks for Oyvind's site. Never knew nothing about him. Great read. And listen.
yeah continuity sure, but this RW4 will be – as I understand – a compilation of various shows anyway. And generally bah, I dunno, I don't really care if it's all a one show source or not. Would one really notice if not informed by the liner notes?
But then yes, 4LP/2CD would represent the length and massiveness of one show to the listener, be it compiled or not. Then again after a few years you'd be at RW vol 12 and what the heck, it's all one big psychobubble.
the more, the better.
Well regardless of any other yearly release, they could put out a double vinyl Roadwork entry twice a year. Just keep them flowing. There's enough material and way enough buyer's interest. That would be so great. And unique. And a Guinness Book entry on top.

Stock prices in europe are too high and in switzerland ridiculously so, starting from 3000euros. But there's some german and british shops selling them for around 1900.-
On ebay you might find well maintained older models for say 1200.- if you're lucky and patient. I got this new 2010 model from the USA for 1500.-, including tax and shipping and all, including the original hardcase.
There's hardly any here in the shops and as written above, looking at internet pictures I prefered the black (jetglo) and midnite blue ones first. I wasn't convinced of the red (fireglo), the white and the natural maple (mapleglo). But those latter 3 I got to see in real and they're beautiful. Now I'm very happy with the red one. Now I think it's the nicest looking one.
It has a perfect straight neck, awesomely low action like I want it, stereo output and plays almost by itself. One knob is push in/pull out for the vintage sound (bit more mids and highs). And overall it feels absolutely top high class quality.
edit, ts, i stated the prices in swiss francs. fixed them to euros.
@Neil
8-string probably will remain a dream. There's been one on ebay but the seller didn't want to ship abroad. There's one for sale every decade I guess.
