Day 2: Wantlist

Saw this in a record store many years ago and almost bought it even though I didn’t have a record player. It’s been on my Discogs wantlist since the beginning.

Day 2 - Finally!!



Steven Universe Soundtrack

This was sold out for so long and their was so many times I was tempted to pay the marked up prices for it. So thankful I waited and their was a repress!!

Day 2 - Finally!
Jonathan Richman - I, Jonathan

Having a hard time remembering the albums that I trolled for longest on eBay, so I'll do one that I was really glad was finally pressed on vinyl this year.

Day 2: Finally!
The Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop

I couldn't finish the challenge last month and I'm starting a day late.
These challenge threads are my favorite, I love seeing the picks and, to my significant other's chagrin, always end up adding something to my collection.

I really don't know what place this one would take on my top albums list but, it's such a fun, exhilarating listen.

Day 1: N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time Submission Due Date



Edit: Talking Heads and Pavement are way up the top of my list but, they have already been played (@Turbo @TenderLovingKiller®)

Day 2: Finally!
Play something that was in your wantlist for a long time

I love Super Furry Animals and Gruff's first solo album had been on my Discogs wantlist forever, this year I was finally able to get a copy at a somewhat decent price.


Gruff Rhys - Yr Atal Genhedlaeth

Day 2 - Finally! (but not quite)

This is a placeholder for an album that has been on my list since I started collecting again a few years ago. It should be on my porch aaannnny day now.

Elvis Costello - This Year's Model

I spent about 20 years buying CDs and digital before getting into vinyl a couple of years ago, so I have a LOT of albums that I love that have been sitting on my wantlist for one reason or another. This one arrived this week, so I'm gonna give it its first spin now.

Day 2

De La Soul is Dead

Day 2: Finally!

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings - Give the People What They Want



I’ve been meaning to dive deeper into SJ&DK’s catalogue pre-Holiday Soul Party yet I just haven’t for whatever reason. Thankfully, my secret Santa helped me rectify 1 of those 5 wrongs this year and I’ll be sure to move onto the other 4 in 2021! Thank you again, Santa!

Day 2 - Finally!

Easily been hoping for a reissue (or finding an OG) for a decade. Really, any PJ released this year would work, but this is my favorite. It also sounds amazing - faithfully mastered for vinyl by Albini’s old buddy Bob Weston. Worth the wait, I think!
