The mail brought my CD copy of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn yesterday. It's the 2X CD, mono and stereo mixes. This will make an adequate placeholder until I can find this on LP.

i dont remember.

I'm going to order these very soon:
Sonic Youth - Confusion Is Sex
Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising
The Sugarcubes - Life's Too Good
The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace
Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain
Einstuerzende Neubauten - Kollaps

^ Replace "Life's Too Good" with Neubauten's "Halber Mensch", and I'll tell you that's a great list.

Gang Of Four - Songs For The Free
Minor Threat - S/T
Thelonious Monk - Monk's Dream
Parliament - Funkentelechy
Alice Coltrane - 7'' Impulse Promo
errrr...some more records I forgot what they were called arrrrgggh!

Simon Wickham-Smith/Richard Youngs - Veil (For Craig)

Thats an absolutely perfect list, I've got all of those apart from Einstuerzende Neubauten, they're on my to buy list too. and Life's Too Good is an amazing album, bow down to the queen of the fucking weird. It also has the most wonderfully perverse album art I've ever seen.
This Nations Saving Grace has one of my all time favourite tracks on it - its called "I Am Damo Suzuki". I actually met Damo Suzuki a couple of monthes ago, it was a surreal encounter, but nonetheless awesome.
You'll get alot of enjoyment out of those, let me know what you think of them.

... and the last record I bought was a picture disc LP of No New York, which I recently learnt was produced by Brian "pie fingers" Eno. Strange. But its a great listen.

I bought Halber Mensch a few weeks ago, so can it qualify for great list?

I read somewhere that Weezer's blue album was good, so I bought it. I've just listened to it, but I'm disappointed. Well, it's just an other (power)pop-rock album, nothing much to say about it.

finally, this great piece of vinyl appeared on my p.o. box today:

I'm making a pilgrimage into "the city" today, which will involve stopping by ye olde record shoppe. Wish me luck. I have nothing in mind, just gonna see what's there in the new arrivals.

I dreamed about it last night. I dreamed I found an original LP of Daydream Nation and OK Computer on LP.

Ah, well, gmku strikes out... There were a few things I considered purchasing, but I just wasn't feeling it, ya know? There was no big ah HA! moment where I came across anything I'd been longing for, and I hate the feeling of plunking down coin for something I'm half-hearted about. I picked up and put back a couple of Eno records that were only in VG condition, and believe it or not, almost bought a 25 buck vinyl reissue of Dark Side of the Moon. There was a lot of great looking new vinyl in the store, but it was either stuff I already have or Blue Note reissues, and I've gone through my Blue Note phase.

Oh, well. Always next time. I took solace in a cup of Starbucks brew and double chocolate cookie.
