@nessisonett Hahahaha, I'll keep that in mind, should I ever find myself in your neck of the woods!, with regard to prioritizing physical music over games, what do you feel you will pick up for your next purchase on vinyl?
@Draco_V_Ecliptic When I get paid, I’m definitely going to pick up those remastered Joy Division singles and also Invisible Girl by The King Khan & BBQ Show since there’s only 1 copy in stock. I’m just annoyed I’ll miss Record Store Day by a couple of weeks since it’s tomorrow.
@nessisonett Thanks, added it to my wish list! What do you make of Radiohead? Any preferences with regard to their albums/eras? They are on 6Music right now.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Radiohead are one of those bands I go back and forth on. Kid A is probably their best album, it’s the most consistent, interesting and forward-thinking album of theirs. I’ve never been huge on O.K. Computer despite it being regarded as the best album of all time. It’s the Inception of albums for me!
@Kidfried That’s a brave opinion putting The King of Limbs top! I know a lot of Radiohead nuts who would be pretty unhappy about that one. I’d probably rate out of the ones I’ve listened to:
1. Kid A
2. Amnesiac
3. The Bends
4. In Rainbows
5. OK Computer
6. A Moon Shaped Pool
7. Pablo Honey
Some good picks there too, I loved that Lana album but I wasn’t very big on FTBC to be honest, even if I really wanted to like it.
@Kidfried Yeah, I just think The Bends is a solid, consistent album. Almost every song is at least pretty good plus it finishes with Street Spirit, one of the best closing tracks of any album. It’s not that I dislike any of their albums, I’m just not as big on them as some other people. I’m sure I’d get a beating for preferring The Bends to OK Computer but to me, that’s an album of three songs, Paranoid Android, Karma Police and No Surprises. I’m not that fussed about the meat of the album in comparison.
RE: Fetch the Bolt Cutters, I really liked some songs and the production is great but parts grated slightly, even if I’m sure that was the intention. Shameika in particular I wasn’t a fan of but I loved songs like Cosmonauts and the title track. I rate all my listens through RateYourMusic and I think I gave FTBC a 3.0/5 which is basically “I enjoyed it but probably wouldn’t go out my way to listen to it again”.
I am a proud owner of the Minecraft soundtrack on vinyl, only 500 copies were pressed in a somewhat fetching green colour. Really quite happy with my purchase.
I picked up about 100 random records out a charity shop. Bizarre mix of stuff including a promo single (ironically not for sale) from Paw, who were on the Road Rash soundtrack, a Brotherhood of Man album that doesn’t have their Eurovision hit on it and a whole load of pretty cool techno singles perfect for DJs.
Amazon sent me the wrong record again. I suppose it’s me being punished for being lazy and not supporting my local record store but I couldn’t find Black Marble’s A Different Arrangement anywhere else. I got sent The Inner Mounting Flame by John McLaughlin instead. Not quite as bad as when I got sent a Haken record instead of Boris but rather random.
I got Alice Kemp's Fill My Body With Flowers And Rice, a mix of "hardcore" field recordings and noise music, excellent record, the jewel in my collection's crown.
