Did you know that not only can you sign up for an RSS feed from this website but also from the online store website? If you’re looking at specific formats or styles of music, like “New Vinyl LPs” or “Classical CDs“, then you can sign up for a feed that will let you know about every new listing that’s been added to that category.

First, go to Categories at the top right of the online webstore page; next, click on a category and then go to the  bottom of that category page where you’ll see the RSS button to subscribe.

As we are adding items almost daily to the online store, this is the best way to keep up with the newest arrivals.

Discology is pre-selling A Digital Lie tickets for Sunday, January 17th at the Studio on 4th.

The cost is $5 and does not have a convenience fee. (Cash only please.) Tickets will be $8 at the door.

We are starting a new drawing for a Bill Graham Presents Postcard that will be drawn on Febrary 1st,  2010.

As usual, all entries must be made in person and one entry per person please.

This month’s drawing is for BG 280, which is viewable on Discology’s on-line store.

Tell your friends and pass this along.

Congratulations to Heather Edmunson for being the winner of this month’s card.

Top 9 of 2009!

It’s that time again when I ask everyone to submit their list of favorite music for the year. As usual, please leave your list in the comments field so that I can post it to the website. That said, I will start off with my list by saying that it was a bit harder than usual to produce a list beyond 9 albums. Please note that I was not trying to be clever with having “9 for aught 9″, but rather that it just worked out that way.

As usual, a friendly reminder to everyone that your list is your list and I do not expect a certain length or type of music. Just list what you liked and feel free to make comments and inquiries regarding other customer lists. This is meant to act as a forum for discussion and certainly not criticism. Here we go:

1. Appleseed Cast: Sagarmatha

In a class by itself, this album has remained on top since it was released.

2. Silversun Pickups: Swoon

A fine second album that rewards with repeated listens for great number of subtleties and nuances.

3. Bark Psychosis: Hex (1994)

Not a new album, but new to me. Early Post-Rock.

4. Neko Case: Middle Cyclone

It took me a some time to finally get around to listening to  Neko and now I understand why everyone loves her voice.

5. Jon Jenkins and David Helpling: Beyond Words (Live)

Live album from their Treasure tour. Why did I find out about these guys so late?

6. Brendan Perry: “Utopia” (song)

Very DCD! The new album, Ark, doesn’t release till February but this song has been on his MySpace all year… taunting fans all the way.

7. Mark Dwane: Other Worlds

The newest in a line of successive albums that combine Midi Guitar and Electro-Acoustic. More floatiness for the brain.

8. Russian Circles: Geneva

Third album from Post-Rock greats that are as amazing on album as they are live.

9. MGR: Wavering On The Cresting Heft

Isis guitarist’s floaty album that brings in more noise that builds and evolves from Nova Lux’s more spare piano and guitar arrangements. A nice companion release.
