Ten Most Exciting Record Store Day 2012 Releases

FUSE TV - Ten Most Exciting Record Store Day 2012 Releases

This Saturday is a momentous day for audiophiles, vinyl-enthusiasts and music-lovers in general: It's Record Store Day 2012! Hundreds of limited-edition releases will be available only at physical record stores across the U.S., with most of them selling out within the first few hours.

Although there are dozens of enticing releases—from an out-of-print White Stripes single to previously unavailable Miles Davis tracks—here are the Top 10 Record Store Day releases we're most excited for. And just to rile some people up, we ranked them from "most worthy of waking up at 4am" (a Flaming Lips collaborative album that includes Ke$ha blood!) to just plain awesome (the ever-reliable Sufjan Stevens).

1. The Flaming Lips: The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends
The Flaming Lips are a weird band, but this is certainly their strangest release yet. This album of collaborations brings Yoko Ono, Bon Iver, Ke$ha, Erykah Badu and Lightning Bolt under one vinyl roof. And just because that's not odd enough, Wayne Coyne practiced phlebotomy on several of these singers and claims these limited releases will be marked by their blood. Head here for more on Wayne Coyne's eclectic, bizarre list of guest artists and listen to the Lips' Neon Indian collabo "Is David Bowie Dying?" below.
