Ok, how bizarre. I was going to revive this long-dead thread today, but a change of information caused me to delete my post.
Two weeks ago I went to Amoeba with my ex, Kelly. She works for a small record label, New West Records, and was on the prowl for some music related to artists under that label.
So I figured I might as well look for something, too. I pulled up this old thread and scanned for some recommendations, and - when I came across some posts about
Ghostland Observatory, I remembered that Ghoulish Delight had also relayed an in-person recommend about that group.
So I look all over Amoeba for their CDs, but come up empty. I ask at the Information Desk, and they tell me they've got nothing by
Ghostland Observatory.
Well, if you don't have your CDs at Amoeba, you are in music nowheresville.
So today Kelly calls me up and asks what that band was called that I was looking for at Amoeba. And then tells me her record label just signed
Ghostland Observatory for their future releases.
Hahahaha, I love coincidences. But as I'm posting that cool story in this thread, she emails me that New West is not signing them, simply releasing a DVD centered around the group's performances last Spring at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin.
Still a coincidence, but less awesomely so. I deleted the post.
Then I see that someone else (Prudence) has decided to revive this thread today. That's a coincidence worthy of me posting my less awesome coincidence.
