== Transcript ==

''{Slow fade onto Bubs' Concession Stand, closed, during sunrise as we see Strong Sad wearing a sloshy shirt and sleeping against the right side of the concession stand.}''

''{Strong Bad walks up to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey. ''{Strong Sad mumbles}'' Hey!

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{waking up abruptly}'' Look out, Julian Ca-sa-blan-cas!

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey Stankle. Did you sleep here last night?

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh yeah. I wanted to be first in line for Record Store Day. ''{Pats his belly}'' sloshy's releasing an obscure 7-inch. 

'''STRONG BAD''': But aren't ''all'' of sloshy's releases obscure? As in, they make enough copies for themselves and their girlfriends, knowing full well that their girlfriends are going to throw them away?

'''STRONG SAD''': And I creep them out of the trash! ''{holds up record titled "Girlfriend Haircut" covered in mud and with a banana peel on it}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that sounds like you. All Limozeen's doin' for Record Store Day is releasing a Cassette Maxi Single of their 7th Final Reunion Tour Brunch. 

''{Cut to wooden table with a Cassette case named "Limozeen but they're at brunch!"}''

'''STRONG BAD''': It's just them at some restaurant talking about escrow and knee surgery.

''{Cassette is placed into a player off-screen}''

'''MARY PALARONCINI''': ''{eating noises}'' Man, this frittata is heavenly! 

'''LARRY PALARONCINI''': I just defaulted on my l-l-l-l-l-loans-ah!

''{Cut to the Concession Stand, now open, with Bubs handing Strong Sad a vinyl record as Strong Bad spectates}''

'''BUBS''': Here ya go, Strong Sad. That'll be $400.

'''STRONG SAD''': Ooh, on sale even! ''{turns around to face Strong Bad}'' Check it out, it's a B-side only.

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Sad viewing the record with both of his hands}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So, the A-side's just blank?

'''STRONG SAD''': Not even!

''{Strong Sad turns the record over to have the record be nearly-fully transparent}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Whoa!

'''STRONG SAD''': It's pressed on 180-gram two-dimensional vinyl!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{rubbing his chin}'' Really? Swipey Town!

''{Strong Bad jumps over to Strong Sad and punches down the Vinyl as we hear it shatter on the grass}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh! Where'd it go? ''{Looking down frantically}'' I can't see it!

'''STRONG BAD''': Rwah-ha-ha-ha! ''{Strong Bad walks away}'' Music nerd! How's that for obscure?

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[wikipedia:Record Store Day|Record Store Day]] is a real holiday celebrated on the third Saturday of April to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store. Some records are made specifically for Record Store Day and distributed to stores celebrating the holiday.
*"180-gram vinyl" refers to modern [[Wikipedia:Gramophone Record|gramophone record]] releases, which are often pressed on heavier vinyl (usually weighing 180 grams) as they provide higher quality sound and are less prone to deformation.
*Many seven-inch [[Wikipedia:Single (music)|vinyl singles]] are to be played back at 45 [[Wikipedia:Revolutions per minute|revolutions per minute]].
*The B-side of a record is its flip side, as opposed to the a-side. A-sides usually featured the recording intended to receive radio airplay and hopefully become a "hit" song, with B-sides having a secondary purpose. Thus, the "B-est of B-sides" can be interpreted to describe a particularly obscure record not intended for public consumption.
*A [[wikipedia:Maxi single|Maxi single]] is a music single release with more than the usual two tracks of an a-side song and a b-side song.

===Trivia===
*This is the first toon since [[Xeriouxly Forxe]] to lack any Easter eggs.
*This toon was released on the same day as The Cheat's [[cheatday]] (at least according to his fake ID).
* This is the first toon since [[Decomposing Pumpkins]] not to include [[Homestar Runner]].
*A [https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/sloshy-record-store-day-shirt?variant=1318427592 Sloshy Record Store Day shirt] became available on the [[Store]] with this toon's release. In addition, a [https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/sloshy-shirt?variant=1321878572 Sloshy shirt] that was sold in 2007 was reintroduced.
*This toon uses the old design of the Field.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Strong Sad camps out for sloshy's most obscure release to date."

===Remarks===
*This is the fifth toon in a row to [[Toons Without Back Buttons|not have a back button.]]
*The poster that appears at "This part has piano" is in [[German]], and means "Live at the Angry Kebab Shop. Wednesday, November 17 at 9:30."
*The poster that appears at the "Of the in-store. Yeah!" is in [[Wikipedia:Swedish language|Swedish]] and literally means "Performing live in Jukasjaarvi at the score's honorary ballroom - 10:00".
*Both the German and Swedish posters use the 12-hour format, uncommon in Continental Europe, as it's more common for concerts to be in the evening. This means that the posters would say, respectively, 21:30 and 22:00.
*The Japanese sticker on the cover for "All Tomorrow's Euro-Restrooms" literally means "DVD release on August 5th".
**The cover's title contains [[Deliberately Poor English|poor English]].
*In the Flash version, the words "Than Thou Records" on Strong Sad's record and on one of the album covers can be highlighted using the cursor.
*Bubsmoeba being a portmanteau of "Bubs" and "amoeba" is reminiscent of [[high school]], in which his paramecium form resembles an amoeba. <!--Do not put any text saying that this is a reference to a record store/chain. That is already noted in Real World References--->

===Goofs===
*After Strong Bad asks about Sloshy's releases, his arm instantly returns to a resting position.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad's line "Look out, Julian Casablancas!" is a variation of a line from [[haircut]], in which he says, "Watch out, Julian Sands!"
*"Coolier Than Thou Records" is a reference to the shirt that [[Cheerleader]] wore in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], which read "coolier than thou".
*"Limozeen: But They're At Brunch" is a reference to [[Limozeen: But They're In Space!]].
*The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] preview is taken directly from [[concert]]. The background behind Strong Sad is [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|the basement]], and it can be seen by opening the [[HR:menuswfs/menu_recordstoreday.swf|Flash file]] itself.
*In this toon, both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] smile.
*The "All Tomorrow's Euro-Restrooms" album cover prominently features a roll of [[toilet paper]].
*Bubsmoeba is a [[portmanteau]].<!--Do not put any text saying that this is a reference to a record store/chain. That is already noted in Real World References--->
*The electronic voice near the end of the sloshy song is similar to the one in Smart Drinks, from [[nightlife]].

===Real-World References===
*"Bubsmoeba Rekkids" is a play on [[Wikipedia:Amoeba Music|Amoeba Music]], an independent music chain in California.
*[[wikipedia:Julian Casablancas|Julian Casablancas]] is the lead singer of indie garage rock band [[wikipedia:The Strokes|The Strokes]].
*[[wikipedia:Stereogum|Stereogum]] is an online indie music magazine; in this context, "depends how big the Stereogum blows (up)" means how popular it becomes due to being featured.
*"Stere-ereo" is a reference to the lyrics of the song "Rappin' Blow (Pt. 2)", the first track off the 1980 album [[Wikipedia:Kurtis Blow (album)|Kurtis Blow]] by the rapper [[Wikipedia:Kurtis Blow|of the same name]].
*"All Tomorrow's Euro-Restrooms" references "[[wikipedia:All Tomorrow's Parties|All Tomorrow's Parties]]", a song by [[wikipedia:The Velvet Underground|The Velvet Underground]]. The song's name was also used as the title for [[wikipedia:All Tomorrow's Parties (music festival)|a music festival]] that focuses on non-traditional rock music. 
*"The B-est of B-Sides" is possibly a play on the [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden|Iron Maiden]] compilation, [[Wikipedia: Best of the 'B' Sides|Best of the 'B' Sides]].
*"OUR BAND HAS LIKE FOURTEEN MEMBERS" is possibly a reference to indie rock band [[wikipedia:Typhoon (American band)|Typhoon]].

===Fast Forward===
*Despite the chorus's insistence, sloshy did in fact go on to perform "The B-est of B-Sides" live at ''both'' [[Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show]]s.
*This toon would have a follow-up three years later, with an even more obscure record release in [[Record Store Day 2018]].

==YouTube Version==
*The [[YouTube]] version is titled  "Record Store Day b/w B-est of B-sides".
**[[B/W]] (Backed With) is a major term for the other side of a record, mostly for singles with the B-side being the B/W.
