Won on ebay:




The nnck Ass Run lp.

Oh yeah, Distortion records on westerstraat was really fucking excellent. The place was packed with vinyl, stacks of albums lying on the floor etc...
Get records was also good.

Our trip went really well, a lot to write home about as one could put it.
Those cyclists and steep stairs in the old houses are fucking lethal though...

Foetus - Hole
Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always (remaster)
Sisters of Mercy - Floodland (remaster)
Masaki Batoh - Collected Works 1995-1996
Space (The Orb) - Space

Jesus and Mary Chain - Upside Down 7"

hehe, usually tourists are complaining about the trams running straight through pedestrian areas like in the leidsestraat, but the stairs are just as dangerous indeed:


in case nobody told you, the reason for the tall and sometimes extremely narrow houses lies in the fact that in the old days property taxes where based on the width of the front of the house. length and height didn't matter, so for that reason people kept their houses narrow and tall. the narrowest house is only about a meter wide at the front!

The last album I bought was TV on the Radio- "Return to Cookie Mountain" which is pretty cool. You have to be in the mood for it to really enjoy it.

Waiting for 5 different versions of TG's 'Part Two - The Endless Not' to arrive.
Apart from that I bought the Psychedelic Furs first album and 'Buena Vista Social Club' on CD yesterday. The Psychedelic Furs album is one my favourite albums of all time, and my vinyl version is nearly worn out.


Update 26/3/07:
Just received 'For Your Ears Only' a double LP compilation from 1987 on Third Mind Records featuring 'Bushido', 'Atrition', 'Konstruktivitis' and Edward Ka-Spel amongst others.

Looking forward to receiving 'Pindrop' by The Passage and 'Once upon a Time' by TG.

Highly recommended!!!

The Raincoats - S/T and Odyshape

I've wanted them for ages and after seeing all that stuff about Rough Trade supposedly having a bunch of left-over copies on CD I thought I'd put the theory to the test. The website still has them listed but I ordered on Friday and still haven't had a dispatch confirmation. I've mailed enquiries so we shall see...
