Yah! Finally found Funeral on vinyl.. Great album and one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.  If you don’t have this album, you hate puppies and kittens, and that’s just weird.

I used to hate Rush,  I still kind of do.  I used to argue with older folk about how terrible they were.  These facts did not escape me as I made my way to the counter to purchase this album..  Was this in fact the exact moment I became old and lame?  Perhaps.  Sure I justified it to myself… it’s only $4 … it’s so lame it’s cool…   all true, but the real truth is I wanted this album.

If you don’t know what this album is, then you should just give up and go back to your Nickelback and Dance mix 91 CD.  Go ahead, beat it!  Get out of here!  We don’t want your kind around here.

Not there best, to be frank I think it’s a weak effort, but their dual song “Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love” track is one of the best things they’ve ever written, and surprisingly it was written after listening to a lot of Arcade Fire.

Don’t judge me.

I love Smokey.  That is all.

I’ve spoken to a lot of people that don’t particularly like Metric’s last release Fantasies.  Those people are retarded.

Wilco will love you baby.  PS, fanastico album cover.

If you’re a fan of Grandaddy like myself, then you have to pickup Jason Lytle’s first solo album.

Explosions in the sky!

I’ve never been a big Marley fan.  But this best of LP was on sale at Vinyl Diner and I snapped it up.  I’ve been listening to it straight for a week now.  Hooked.

Not so white anymore, but still sounds just as good. Still has the original poster/lyric sheet and 4 individual photos of the fab four.

I’m not usually crass, but this album gives me a boner.  It sounds so damn good.

Sure, laugh it up… Then you’re like, wait, isn’t that the album with Susanna, Make Believe and Africa?

Yes.  Yes it is.

Listen to this.  Do it.

Another great album.

I had to have this one.  I learned to play guitar because of this.  I knew this album note for note.

The National!

Not my favourite album… but it’s not bad and it comes on clear red vinyl… RED!

Picked up The Stills “Oceans Will Rise” at their show at Louis. $14! I’m a big fan and I’d really like to be able to find a “Logic Will Break Your Heart” LP, but there are just none out there.

Well… I had planned on changing up my usual Friday routine. Generally about 5:00, a series of emails and texts fly around and we end up at Amigos for supper, then drinks. People are out of town or working tonight so I figured I would take advantage and stay home, clean up and do some laundry. So what am I doing? Posting pictures of my vinyl.. I can’t help it. I came home and leaning up on my door was my Postal Service LP. Fresh from SubPop! I got excited all over again.

Anyhow, Here DCFC’s Plans. I would have the entire collection of DCFC stuff if I could… but you know. Money. And lot’s of albums are out of print. I’ll find them though. I’m basically like a ninja. Minus the skills.

I know I know.  I didn’t intent for this blog to be exclusively dedicated to my new found, crippling addiction to vinyl.  But fuck it… this place is mine and I’ll do what I want.    Postal Service was my first introduction to Ben Gibbard which later led to my infatuation with Death Cab for Cutie.  I always find myself going back to this album though.  Something about feels like home.
