yeah, ok so it's official.
my vinyl addiction is out of control
I spent 260+ dollars on records yesterday
I also accidentally bought something I already owned, so I'm going back down today to exchange it for something else (perhaps the LSP on vinyl...mmm)
but! I did get my two favourite records of the year so far on vinyl (Noble Beast and Tonight: Franz Ferdinand) which segues us into...

I listened to the new Franz Ferdinand and really liked it, I especially loved their use of electronica. I might just have to check them out at House of Blues.
Woah! 260!
And i thought i was bad.
I know what you mean! I've been doing the preorder thing online and I found myself spending over a hundred, then going to the store and spending more.
But if you are going to have an addiction, that's the best one to have!
I only wish they add an L.A. show. The closest thing is Coachella and I don't know if I'll be able to make it to that just yet.
Murphey, DO IT!
forward music, yeah dude, I only go record shopping when I get paid, and then proceed to spend my entire paycheck. I had a smaller paycheck this time, only a couple days worth of (fulltime) work before the semester started. March 8th will be glorious, I'll have something like 600 to spare.
Jackie, FINALLY, a (fellow) voice of reason! =)
Gotta put in a word for Frightened Rabbit as another amazing Scottish band. Did I get a few of their songs off your blog? I downloaded them from somewhere, finally listened tonight and loved them, bought the album and have been listening to it on repeat for 5 hours straight. Great stuff.
you may have gotten them from me, I posted about them a couple of times and their album actually made the #1 spot of my albums of the year post.
I really love Frightened Rabbit, but Franz Ferdinand will always be my favourite Scottish band. they just rock beyond all comprehension
also, I'm glad you like the album; it took me a while to get into it but now I adore it.
