Now Playing Tracks

My name is Mike and I’m in love with bootlegs—all kinds. Records, video, you name it. This is my new column, to appear on Vice.com twice a month.

This particular column is going to be devoted solely to records. Here are a few of my most recent fave boots …
NEU!, Seasons of a Woman’s Cycle (1978) – Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother were German visionaries, which definitely explains why they decided to record a themed album based on a woman’s menstrual cycle. “Day 25” is my favorite song, but “Day 27” is INCREDIBLE, too. I love the tympani solo. On the German pressing, Klaus and Michael assume a frontiersman pose. On the UK pressing, Klaus and Michael are hugging a yellow plastic wizard’s hat. There’s also a 55 rpm version, but it’s impossible to play. (estimated: $1,500)
