My dad gave me a CD copy of it for my 15th birthday and i was immediately obsessed with it. I was listening to it and 2112 on the bus once a week, playing it on my stereo in my room, asking my dad if we could listen to it on road trips, all of it. I found this first edition copy alongside a first edition of Wish You Were Here up in town a couple years ago and absolutely love it. Both are in great condition and sound absolutely beautiful, and i usually only break them out for special occasions since i ball up and cry whenever i listen to either.

Originally from 1962. My copy was made last year. Red vinyl, so classy

I recently treated myself to a vinyl copy of one of my all-time favourite albums. I've wanted it for years and it makes me so happy.

Killer chaotic as fuck hardcore punk from Tampa, FL. This one came out in 2001 and is their only LP. They also put out a 7” EP and and a 7” split with Combatwoundedveteran. Singer went on to be in No Statik who also fuckin rip.

She had the record wrapped up for me to open, and the pack of smokes right on top. gotta say that i have the best of friends out in Cleveland. This wasn't the first time this year someone had a brand new record waiting for me when I arrived out there.

I went in with mich to specific of goals this time around, and when i finally decided to just browse and dig, i managed to find some stuff i had been looking for, mainly Switched on Bach. I hate 80's music, but absolutely love the Bangles and am excited to listen to that, and anyone who has seen my collection knows, i love me some Peter Gabriel Genesis.

It's been a hell of adventure for me this week so I wanted to wind down today and bake some granola. Step one for good baking is smoking a think doobie, and step two is putting on some classical music. My collection of classical records is still quite limited, so i reach for random Beethoven symphonies from this box set when i have listened to everything else recently.

Pastoral is one of Beethoven's lesser known symphonies as it's calm and serene melodies are overshadowed by the sheer might of his 5th symphony and euphoria of the 9th. But it's still a lovely piece especially if you live in a rural town like i do.

It's certainly dissonant. If there ain't metal versions of this, somebody screwed up.

The death of Douglas McCarthy was a wake-up call for me to get around to buying more Nitzer Ebb. May he rest in peace. And yes, that is a reel-to-reel with Cher.

Some weed smoking jams before heading out to spend a hot day outside filming with my friends. Blue Oyster Cult fucking rules.

Just the coolest album ever! Miles's cover of Down By The River is what introduced me to this album. I don't know if I have ever listened to an album where the singer gives off such a sexy and confident vibe. An almost defiant nonchalance pervades over this album that i completely love.

I always put classical music on when i bake, and i have been doing some serious baking this weekend. I've been working on rhubarb and walnut loaves since rhubarb is growing everywhere right now.

Anyway, i picked up this box set of all of Beethoven's symphony about 6 months ago and i love it. Beethoven's 5th and 9th symphonies understandably get all the love, but Eorica is absolutely magnificent. Originally called "Napoleon", Beethoven intendit as a praise to Napoleon's military prowress and commitment to the French Revolution, but quickly changed the name and 4th movement after Napoleon declared himself Emperor of France. I've been obsessed with the Napoleonic wars for the past couple years after i started reading my dad's old Hornblower books, so i spent my afternoon baking rhubarb and thinking about Napoleon.

I have been picking up a classical record every time i visit a shop to fill out my collection. Box sets like this are great because i get hours and hours of music for maybe $20, or i can get favorites of mine such as Holst's The Planets or the 1812 Overture for a couple bucks. I am currently hoping to find the complete Nutcracker suite for when i do my Christmas cookies this year.

This shelf fits a regular vinyl record just right, but then depeche mode has the bright idea to make their cover a cm longer. And don't even get me started about the jinyl...

With my previous kallax shelf I could hide them a lot better.

After finding someone selling the record I didn't think at all and bought it. Rare record, sold previously once in the past 1 year on eBay, banned from sales on discogs. I was looking for it quite a long time! Happy that I got it.

And here is the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSYm7XlWPtU

I picked this up at an awesome record shop in Akron this weekend. My mom grew up in England during the punk/post punk movement, so i grew up listening to her The Clash, The Jam, and the Strangler CDs in her car. The Stranglers were a staple for our family on road trips.
