Slowly blogging my record collection. Stories and (hopefully) interesting thoughts for vinyl nerds like myself.

Yes to both versions. Bored Out Of My Mind is one of my all-time favourite b-sides

I've been putting this one off for a little while - the last time I'll hear a @jasonamolina album for the first time. Feeling quite emotional about it

Found these @therapyofficial singles in the charity shop yesterday - Loose still has the tour dates card but more amazingly the Die Laughing cd still laughs.

The charity shop near the office has been a bit underwhelming recently. Today's haul was a very pleasant surprise! Hoping there's still more yet to hit the shelves

Nice! I wrote about that CD in the 1985 issue of @LFTWY - hearing Rites of Spring on there was huge.

Another good haul - top 3 were the same 3-for-£1 shop as last week. That Spiritualized album was the only one of theirs I was missing, so very pleased to find that

I was not emotionally prepared for hearing this just yet. This record should come with a warning.

I always liked this quote about when he recorded William's Last Words

Also, pre-recorded ones were really unpopular at the time, but a fun thing to collect.

Agreed! Very much of their time and the iPod was the nail in the coffin. There's a great documentary about them on YouTube that is thoroughly worth 40 minutes of your time: youtu.be/CCK89V4NpJY?si=5EK6…

Some very exciting post today. Never thought I'd own Electra 2000 on vinyl (and treated myself to the remaster of Astronaut too, which sounds AMAZING). But it really just pleases me that right now you can walk into a record shop and buy a record by Hum.

I'm running very late on the usual end-of-year lists, but thought I'd share what an amazing year 2023 was for charity shop CDs. Not all winners, but some incredible music in this pile.

Nice little haul from the charity shops this weekend. Those Radiohead ones are the 2009 2cd/dvd boxsets, which I was very excited to find. £6.50 in total.

I'm lucky because there are still a couple of @lowtheband albums I get to hear for the first time.

Someone on here mentioned it a while ago, but with a bit of woodworking you can take out every other upright bit of wood and gain another two towers worth of space easily!
