Collection Update 4.3

Yeah this is becoming a problem… I’m clearly addicted to vinyl now. It was also just my birthday so sue me. Greg, my partner in dipsomania, came along. Dropped a hundy on Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All (Elektra 1988 Pressing), Daft Punk’s Discovery, Deafheaven’s Road of Judah, and Code Orange’s Forever. My collection has grown to 42 twelve inch records. I went from saying never to just being another consumer vinyl junky. Can’t complain. These new ones will fit alongside my anthology.

Check out my updated collection here.

Collection Update 4.2

Thursday night I got a long await text. Cigarettes After Sex debut and The Smiths’ The Queen is Dead came in at Normal Records. I just came home with the records and got them sleeved in protective plastic. Such an odd satisfaction. 

Gotta say the b-side of The Smiths LP is better than the “The Queen is Dead” side. All vocaless tracks which I can appreciate for the format I’m playing. I wasn’t familiar with any of those tracks but I’m happy to put on something new to me. 

Man, I need to have my wallet a break at Normal. It’s my birthday in a few days so what the hell, right?

Collection Update 4.1

Greg came down to shop records with me today. We hit a lunch spot I’ve wanted to try since I started coming down to North Park. Also ran into an old friend from our school day. Seemed like everyone came down Summer for a beautiful day in the city.

Obviously I came home with something from Normal. They finally got Real Estate’s In Mind stocked. Also grabbed The Even’s The Odds at a disconnected price. They still have tons of LP’s I want but I don’t need to get broke. It’s a wonderful store that gets me out and about some days when I could easily shut in. Also nice of Greg to come down and talk shop. Keep up with each other’s experiences. Now I can sit back and finally listen drop into this perfect summer record from Real Estate.
