Chad Rad's short stack of RSD offerings that will keep you happily in the poor house come Saturday, April 21
Animal Collective — Transverse Temporal Gyrus LP (Domino) This record is mostly a collage built from sound pieces that each member of the group created for an installation called “Transverse Temporal Gyrus” that video artist Danny Perez (director of Oddsac and the “Summertime Clothes,” “Who Could Win A Rabbit,” and “You Can Count On Me” videos) put together for the Guggenheim Museum in New York City in March of 2010.
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy — “Hummingbird” 10-inch (Spiritual Pajamas)
David Bowie — “Starman (Original)” b/w “Starman (live on Top of Pops)” 7-inch picture disc (Virgin Records). This is said to be one of the more hard to find items this year.
