I don't know what this proves. Either that you can or cannot do this. I accumulated 30 lps over the last 12 months. Granted, most of the Feb. 25 haul was acquired for pennies--basically the cost of postage. If not for these freebies, would I have lusted for more and spent more LP cash? Hard to say.

What I have noticed over the past year is that the items on my wish list are becoming increasingly difficult to come across. I'm also a lot less impulsive.

thirty records is really not that much, why are you struggling about it?

Shonen Kinfe - Pretty Little Baka Guy

this is on yr list twice so it's only 29

[Rob Instigator]

damn.
I wonder what I got last year?

30 LP's if they are choice is a great haul. but not all of them can be choice huh?

I finally broke down and got the sea of tombs discontinued CD from amazon used sellers. Couldn't find it anywhere

[viewtiful_alan]

My license is suspended so what was my gas money is now album money. And I work at a record store so I get discounts.. ; )

[viewtiful_alan]

But its not a very good one.. and my boss is such a creep.. he hits on my girlfriend all the time and I'm not quite sure how to handle it XD

[sonic sphere]

start hitting on him!

[demonrail666]

kill him, basically

[viewtiful_alan]

Oh god no... this man is the kind of freak who gives music snobbery a bad name.. and he is quite uniquely ugly. His personality and looks all combine into hate on the same scale as the love gary glitter feels in a vietnamese daycare.

I think I might try slitting his throat with sharpened records by his precious death cab for cutie.

death by vinyl. works for me. slit his throat with a 7", then sell it (make sure it's a popular record) and there you go. The murder weapon is gone - until the customer returns it complaining of a 'gooey' substance dried into the grooves. And then the paranoid weirdness begins.

[viewtiful_alan]

I'll make sure its a sub pop release and say it was the one rare copy with fake blood in the vinyl. Hold on to that sucker.

Basically in this thread, gmku, you are asserting that you should only buy 12 lp's in a year. Hmmm....not sure if I could do that, maybe if they were new releases, but used records, definitely not. I'd say last year I bought and sold maybe 85-100 lps. Reducing it to twelve would take extreme poverty and an even greater extremitiy of self control. And the recession isn't that bad yet.

that's a great record.

[Toilet & Bowels]

i suppose it doesn't really matter how many records gmuk buys, presumably he only buy beatles and stones records whose lables were printed in slightly different ink colour to the copies he has already.

[viewtiful_alan]

Go away

[dntrecords]

man on average I pretty much buy an lp a day

Ha ha, well, we're all built financially different, and I wanted to scale back on personal expenses this past year, especially after blowing tons of cash on vinyl for at least 3 years prior. It was time to reign it in a bit.

I was broker than in the past, in other words, but still feeling the need to feed the habit. On the other hand, I bought a lot of clothes this year. Maybe it's just shifting priorities.

Go fuck yourself, okay?

I did it as a kind of exercise, to see if I could be less indulgent and impulsive and only buy those records that truly interested me. To be honest, after February, I gave up on the idea and only bought when I was interested enough to do so and had the funds. In any case, LP buying has become less impulsive and more thoughtful, which I think is a good thing.
