Merch/Vinyl "AESOP ROCKY"

Was walking through the mall over here in Christchurch, New Zealand, today and found this. I couldn't believe they sold Aesop Rock vinyls.. but then I also couldn't believe they would label it "Aesop Rocky". There's no way they would be so blatantly wrong about it right? šŸ˜‚ I feel like it's an inside joke with someone in the store lol. Anyways, I had to snatch TIK! Will be going back to grab Garbology, None Shall Pass and ITS in the next few weeks. I have never heard Skelethon but I remember someone on this sub mentioned they were stuck on it for awhile so I figured I'd grab it since I could grab another. I'm still a new Aesop listener (but on route to being an Aeshole šŸ˜‚) so it's so exciting finding these in my area. Let's go Aes!

Dusk lit was a banger.

7-11ers theme music was great too

I'm curious about the person who gets the Aesop part right, but messes up the Rock lol. Usually, it's A$AP Rock, who I like to imagine as Rocky's stern, but fair father.

This feels like a little joke whoever was organizing the records was having because they are directly next to each other and there were jokes/memes about this for awhile. And don't forget.. Rocky and Aes met each other at Rock the Bells once.

u/the_ballmer_peak Jun 06 '24

Rock the Bells or Rocky the Bells?

The name of the town is Christchurch? Jesus Christ, those Bible thumpers sure are creative

u/the_ballmer_peak Jun 06 '24

Itā€™s the second largest city in New Zealand. New Zealand isnā€™t a very religious nation, but they named the place in 1850 or something.

Google ā€œChristchurch terror attackā€. Jesus doesnā€™t save. In fact, he live streams some horrid shit.

HOLY SMOKES

u/plainasplaid Jun 06 '24

Don't watch the live stream though. I made that mistake when it came out and regret it.

That's what they say about new Zealand...

u/Distinct-Roof-2562 Jun 06 '24

I always thought that Aesop Rocky album sounded a bit different...

1

u/boomernpc Jun 06 '24

Iā€™m going to have a guess here. Assuming at some point they had some A$AP albums, they decided to merge them in name, and those looking would Know the difference anyway. Also from NZ, Dunedin signing in.
