More Vinyl!

I'm going kind of crazy with this vinyl buying spree that I've been on.

This past Friday I returned home from my day of work/boredom to find a wonderful surprise.

It was my double LP of Possibilities and Maybes by The Casket Lottery! On beautiful White vinyl!

It looks and sounds great!

In the past few days I've made a few more online purchases of some records that I'm pretty psyched about.

The first I acquired through Ebay and is an original, Canadian pressing of The Queen is Dead by The Smiths. Since then I've been browsing through a number of auctions on Ebay, bidding on a few different records.

Luckily I lost a number of auctions that would have put a huge dent in my bank account, though I was pretty bummed to lose the auction for Talking with the Taxman about Poetry by Billy Bragg.

However, I did win a really great auction. Once it arrives in the mail I will be the owner of a rare, limited, first pressing of the split 7" from Texas is the Reason and The Promise Ring. Released in 1996 on Jade Tree Records, this split features one of my favorite Texas is the Reason songs, "Blue Boy."

Oh, and did I mention that it's on red vinyl?

Yeah, I can't wait to listen to it!

Finally I just ordered a copy of Funeral for a Feeling by Kill Your Idols. Released in 2001 on SideOneDummy, it's a classic album from the recently-deceased New York Hardcore group. I used to have this on CD but lost it a few years back, so I'm pretty excited to have a physical copy of this again!


So that's about it for my record buying habits at the moment. I should slow down a bit.

Also, if you're interested in listening to some great tunes check out some new tracks from my friends in Mooseknuckle. It's feel-good punk rock at its finest.
