Ola (Mylittleponys)'s Favourite Record: Rattlesnakes
In the run up to Record Store Day, we will be running a series of posts featuring various members of the Lazy Acre Family talking about their favourite records. This installment features Ola from MyLittlePony (who will be playing a live set this evening) talking about the awesome Lloyd Cole...
It's impossible to choose one record an say it's my favourite one. I can however choose one record and say that it's really good, and one of my favourite ones. I choose "Rattlesnakes" by Lloyd Cole and The Commotions. It was recommended to me by a professor when I studied litterature. Needless to say this was a very cool professor, and this record has stayed with me since.
It's just such a great example of intelligent simplicity, which in the end is what I think pop music might be all about. That and sensitivity, but that somehow comes a bit easier it seems.
Managing to be intelligent in a simple way. Lloyd Cole does that very well, and for every one who hasn't heard this album it's time to get into it, if nothing else just for the feeling of adding more debth when singing a long to fellow Glasgow band Camera Obscura's "Hey Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken"
Dont forget to keep checking back through the day for live sessions, competitions, guest posts from Lazy Acre Artists and some special Record Store Day releases

Uno's Favourite Record: Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness....
In the run up to Record Store Day, we will be running a series of posts featuring various members of the Lazy Acre Family talking about their favourite records. This installment features Uno Moller who gets all misty eyed about the Smashing Pumpkins...
I remember seeing the 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings' video on TV when it first came out, and my jaw dropped to the ground. I was only into punk at the time, like NOFX, Propagandhi, Pennywise and those kind of bands. I got my dad to buy me the album right away. Of all the 28 tracks on the album, I only liked 'Bullet…' at first.
Slowly one song after another started to grow on me and became more and more amazing, and it turned out to be an album that really opened the door into a new world for me, both in music and in everything else. Every time I hear the first piano chord of 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness', I'm right back to some strange magical place, like the first time I heard it. Still, today, it's one of my absolute favourite albums.
I don't listen to it that much anymore, but when I do, I can't listen to anything else for a week. I think it still stands out and sounds great and interesting. And I still discover new elements and clever details in the songs that you rarely find in music today. I love everything about it! The cover art, the videos, the 'aeroplane flies high' single box…everything!

Lazy Acre Records celebrates Record Store Day
Ever a fan of jumping on the nearest bandwagon Lazy Acre Records will celebrate this weekends Record Store Day by not stepping foot out of its front door. See as a label that doesn't produce vinyl and has no artists within 500 miles of our nearest record store it made arranging some kind of happening rather difficult.
Instead Lazy Acre will celebrate by running a series of events and sessions in its own webstore throughout the day. Beginning at Midday on Saturday, Lazy Acre artists will be broadcasting live sessions and shows from across the globe. Kicking off with new signing Stylusboy (who will be broadcasting from the UK), the day will also take in acoustic sets from Uno Moller (live from Oslo) and Sajama Cut (live from Jakarta) before finishing off with a headline set from MyLittlePony who will be broadcasting from Vienna.
Its a truly international happening and one that will be accompanied by a series of limited time releases (including a new MyLittlePony single, a special edition Stylusboy single with "When I Argue I See Shapes" on the B-side, a UK release for "Paintings / Pantings" from Sajama Cut and a new Uno Moller release that is so secret we won't be announcing details until the day.)
These download singles will all be priced at £2 each (or £6 for them all) and will include videos, a copy of the latest Lazy Acre fanzine and some PC wallpaper. They will be available for 2 weeks from the day of release.
Throughout the course of the day there will also be competitions, video premier's, exclusive interviews and content and 25% off everything in the webstore.
You can keep up to date with details (of which there will be plenty more to come!) and check out interviews and videos in the run up to the big day, on our special Record Store Day Minisite over at www.lazyacrerecordstoreday.blogspot.com or by following us on twitter (@lazyacrerecords)
