Kurt Vile - Speed, Sound, Lonely KV (ep)
The Cars - The Cars MoFi
The Grateful Dead - Skull & Roses MoFi
John Lee Hooker - It Serves You Right To Suffer AP 45 RPM
J Mascis - Several Shades Of Why
Primus - Tales From The Punch Bowl
Darkside - Psychic

These were all mail deliveries. Kurt Vile and Darkside were ordered directly from Matador. The Cars and John Lee Hooker were purchased from Acoustic Sounds. The Grateful Dead MoFi was a good deal from Discogs. J Mascis was an average deal from Discogs and Primus was PIF winner from mensch @zdkaiser. I’ve gotta lot of listening ahead of me.

Joshua Abrams - Natural Information
Joshua Abrams - Represencing


Chicago-based bassist Josh Abrams puts out a singular style of improvisational, avant garde jazz spotlighting the guimbri, a three-stringed North African bass lute. Its primordial, rhythmic drone lulls like a deep rainstorm, gently bringing shifts in instrumentation and percussion to the forefront in jams that go on as long as 25 minutes. These are special records, recently reissued by Aguirre Records in Belgium, and beautifully pressed at Pallas.

Just saw this coming soon and thought of you.


And if any European members are interested, there is an EU edition pressed at Pallas, US version pressed at RTI.

Some of these are fresh-ish. I was gone for a year and my wife was kind enough to hold onto them. Now I'm slowly going through them. A few I got since I've been back.

OG Canadian copy of Tears for Fears - Seeds of Love. I bought this when I got back. Seller graded it M/M but opened and played. Newer seller. I obviously new it wasnt mint in the vinyl by definition nor did I think the jacket would be. But the price was actually really good and all 6 of their discogs ratings were positive. Vinyl actually played great. A solid NM. Jacket was a VG- w a small seam split on top and showing its age in other places. But I was happy for the price. I did send the seller a long message encouraging them to take grading more seriously because there would be buyers who would ride him about that M/M shit. I declined to leave any feedback.

Nice grabs! Welcome back Stateside.
 
Nice grabs! Welcome back Stateside.
I've got a lot more to get through but I'm trying to not allow the buying, cleaning, curation parts of the hobby to monopolize it anymore and just the listening and enjoying. So I've been cleaning 1-2 daily (or none at all). Making the effort to not let a hobby control me
