Discogs: 20 Weird Records for a Weird 2020

"Gotta admit, this one burns a little bit. Third Man was working on a prototype of the exact same idea of an LED-filled record at seemingly the exact same time as the geniuses over at Romanus were plotting theirs. Parallel thinking, no doubt. TMR had big targets in sight, multiple levels of management, parent record labels, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted kind of sights. We even met up with the company that custom programmed LEDs in balloons for shit like Katy Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show. And then, somewhat unceremoniously, it just kinda drifted away, on our end clearly deflated when we became aware of those dreaded words: “It’s already been done.” So kudos to the cats at Romanus, who do an ace job of filling their records with anything/everything and, in my opinion, keep pushing the envelope in the custom, hand-made vinyl novelty world that will always hold a place near-and-dear to my heart." - Ben Blackwell Third Man Records
