Maybe you've heard of the Social Music Record Club, the new venture by Mike McGonigal of Yeti Magazine, but I thought it worth mentioning that there is a cassette tape subscription as well as the vinyl one, for $50 instead of $100, which puts in the ballpark of affordability. Anyway, a lot of Eggy favorites represented in the club, Abner Jay, Grouper, Evan Miller, the freaking Bats. I signed up for the tape subscription.
Also, this is a nice interview with Mr. McGonigal in Digitalis.
And this is a great feature he did for Pitchfork about Galaxie 500.
