But why Alex? Why? Surely you can't have been expecting anything different!

But why Alex? Why? Surely you can't have been expecting anything different!

True enough, Stew. I was not expecting greatness (hell, I was barely hopeful for mediocrity). I just picked it up out of some indefinable sense of obligation (time was when I was an ardent fan, though to these ears they haven't really made a full album worth spinning since, say, Achtung Baby). "Vertigo" now leaves me cold and clammy. I kinda don't mind "Love & Peace or Else" (so long as I tune out the lyrics), but I can't imagine a time when I'll feel like playing it again.

I caught a friend with the limited edition version of the U2 album last week!

Hahahaa...to be fair, it only costs 11 bucks.

'Robot'/'Foot Tapper' - Bud Ashton and His Band
'Mirror Mirror' - Dollar
'Give me my heart' - Dollar

WAH! (In that I don't have this yet.)

Most recent purchase was A John Waters Christmas but the promo mailings have been piling up as well. Thanks, LTM!

Yes, yes I KNOW you get 'em free GRRRRRRRRRRR! (Actually I have got several of mine free through various Factory connections, but still...GRRRRR)

Siouxsie Box - I think it was due out here on this Monday, but HMV had it on Saturday. It is of course utterly perfect, and mad. Actually the late-ish stuff is amazing.

In the last week. The Touche mix CD with the latest DJ Mag is pretty ace as well (Whomadewho, Riton, Serge Santiago, Stash, Munk)

So, is there a thread we can list our entire years worth of purchaseS? I got 400 so far... er, 401... Scary, but down from last year's 855, though....sheesh...

(Vigilante.)

Wasteland - October

...all for $5 and some change (the Chingy is unfortunately the "clean" version, which I didn't realize until I got it home, but I probably would have got it anyway, since it was only $2, and the edits aren't too intrusive, and hey, what do y'know, it's pretty good)

promos are circulating already but it doesn't seem to be "out" out yet.
