Planning to buy today or this weekend: the new Pink album.

And of course I never actually do that, because it's all about impulse buying. Down in Charlotte you never even see a lot of it.

ordered both volumes of the sci.fi.hi.fi mixes from soma; the ewan pearson one came this week (very nice), luciano tk.

ordered the bunnybrains box for like $9 on amazon. also recently bought the prince disc so i could review it. that's a likely sell-back.

I also picked up that Massive Attack comp and Hawkwind's Space Ritual.

I find/buy a lot of stuff locally but also use the internet.

I still laugh every time. Honestly.

-Satwa LP on Time-Lag
-Bohannon Phase II (used, with the name 'Pancho' written in blue marker across the cover)
-The Knife's first album

All from Sweat Records, Miami. Nice place.

Have some money on an old gift card too. Think I'm gonna cash it in on the Paebiru CD.

And I love the sleeve of "Beatles '65."

6 CDs for £3.99.

I wonder if it is any good.

It was from Dadaismus's Virgin sale.

Last week: Les 100 Plus Belles Chansons by Serge Gainsbourg.

5 CDs, slightly more expensive, about £25.

Konono No. 1
Seu Jorge - whatever that album is called. Kinda meh also

Unless they were different ones to the ones I saw.

If it was a different Virgin, I might go there too.

I have been investigating how much stuff could be sold for a profit.

I would be quid in (singular).

Might pick up a copy of "hairway to steven" tonight if I can find one anywhere.

Never heard of it

>and Jackie-O Motherfucker albums,

Yes, one at least.

>those 5 or 6 Hafler Trio albums,

Never heard of it

>the other Electric Eels' album,

I think so, but don't quote me

>"Hairway to Steven",

Yes, three or four copies at least.

>the Nick Nicely album,

Never heard of him

>the Gene Clark albums etc etc etc were still there?

The Raven compilation (also a Byrds one) and a thing of demos which looks a bit Nick Faldo, yes.

Also Acid Mothers Temple and Cocteau Twins Japanese imports, and a whole rack I didn't even look at.

This was about 6.30 - 7.00 last night.

Beatles-Yellow Submarine Songtrack

for 20 bucks.

Meanwhile, off the web:

Phil Spector-Back To Mono
Lonnie Mack-Memphis Wham!
Kinks-Percy

I think I am going to get that new Byrds box set too. It sems to have my name on it.

Both from Aberystwyth.

Agitation Free - 2nd (disappointed with this, sort of jammy/jazzy instrumental rock, nice fluid guitar in places but bog standard earthbound 70s rhythm section. Quite nice but really nothing special)

Cornucopia - Full Horn (ugly, lumpy prog rock with outbursts of dissonant weirdness - which makes it sound a bit like Van der Graaf, which makes it sound far better than it is! Again, it's pretty underwhelming)

... to be honest, I don't know why I even bother buying Krautrock anymore, I think I've got all the good stuff by now.

Kid Koala - Your Mom's Favourite D.J.

Pajo, David Christian Pajo
Australian Rules OST, original music by Mick Harvey
Neville-Ization, The Neville Brothers

Lady Sovereign - Public Warning

Guided By Voices - Hardcore UFOs boxset
Gerard Grisey - Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil

£5 for the pair!

Can You Jack? (Spectacular acid house compilation on Soul Jazz Records)
Pop Ambient 2006 (Kompakt)
Boymerang - Balance of the Force
Electrolush compilation
Gatecrasher Classics 2 compilation
Timo Maas - Music for the Maases
Grooverider - The Prototype Years
Jeff Mills - Waveform Transmission v. 1
BT - Ima; This Binary Universe (I prefer the former)
Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - Relevee EP
Todd Edwards - Odyssey This is great!

I don't think I like this. The singing bugs me anyway. Some of the guitar is very nice.

But I'm taking it back because I already have the good stuff and the rest is bloody awful.

I have banned myself from taking things back to shops now.

Anyway, I wonder if this will result in any amazing bargains:
