It is not surprising\u00a0to any of our regular readers that I am a complete vinyl addict. I have always preferred analog medium\u00a0over digital, and try to add to my record collection whenever I can. During this year’s NXNE, I picked up some very cool LPs at shows and during the Of Sound Mind<\/a>\u00a0DIY market.<\/p>\n

Of Sound Mind showcased a bunch of Canadian indie record labels selling LPs, CDs and cassettes including Hand Drawn Dracula, Last Gang, Paper Bag Records, Buzz Records, etc.<\/p>\n

\"hdd<\/a>I grabbed a few LPs from Hand Drawn Dracula \/\u00a0Artificial Records<\/a>,\u00a0who are our\u00a0favourite Toronto indie\u00a0label. I picked up the Weeknight’s ‘Post-Everything’, Dream Affair’s ‘From Now On’ and Little Girls’ ‘Cults’ + plus I got a bag to carry my vinyl with the cool HDD 3-D logo on it.<\/p>\n

Disappointingly, they didn’t have any copies of the Tiers’ Winter LP, which was the one I was most excited to pick up. I guess destiny wasn’t on my side yesterday –\u00a0sigh.<\/p>\n

The Weeknight LP is pressed on really cool clear vinyl with black vinyl faded out from the centre – very cool, and the Little Girls’ EP is pressed with red vinyl. Weakness alert! I am a total sucker for any coloured 7″, 10″ or 12″ vinyl. Watch the video for Dark Light<\/em> by Weeknight via YouTube below.<\/p>\n

\"dle\"<\/a>I also picked up a couple vinyl releases when Culture Addict faves Dead Leaf Echo rolled through town to play their set at Smiling Buddha. I picked up their 10″ EP ‘True.Deep.Sleeper’ and their\u00a0LP ‘Thoughts & Language’ – the EP came pressed on clear ink vinyl and the LP was double gatefold vinyl pressed on two different colours of vinyl.\u00a0\u00a0Lg from the band was super nice, and if they ever head out your way, you should definitely check out their set. Watch the video for Kingmaker\u00a0<\/em>by Dead Leaf Echo\u00a0via YouTube below.<\/p>\n

Hopefully\u00a0NXNE 2015\u00a0will bring back the DIY market next year since I am already looking forward to it. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
