Collection Update 5

BC-Live1

It’s been a long week but the weekend came through in the clutch as usual. I got my gold vinyl of Us and Us Only’s Full Flower Thursday night. Yesterday Jake gave me some records he was just going to simply dump. I was lucky enough to get Big Country’s The Cross, Tom Jones It’s Not Unusual, Peter Gabriel’s So, The Go Go’s Beauty and The Beat, and a live in London The Stax/Volt Revue featuring Otis Redding. The collection simple won’t stop growing right now. Let’s see if I can get up to 100 by years end. It’s not impossible at this rate.

UPDATE: Added Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven and Duran Duran’s Rio. 

Check out the collection right here. Cheers!

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.

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?
