If I won the lottery I would buy ALL the records. And also, you know, do good stuff for charities and humanity and whatnot.

Which reissue stood out from the ever-crowded sea of reissues this year for you? For me, its Underwater Moonlight from The Soft Boys. @robynhitchcock.bsky.social and the team at Tiny Ghost Records did an excellent job with this one.

Likely my last addition of 2025. 1970 US (Winchester) box set. Happy to finally have it in my collection. What an amazing set of songs.

Been awhile since I’ve shown off this beauty. 1967 Allentown Pressing. Quite possibly the best $40 I’ve ever spent and 4 years ago it was the most I had spent on a record.

I have taken to generally just spinning side 2 of Surf’s Up. Do you have any records where you skip one side or the other?

Should the economy be regulated by a democratic society to ensure that it creates opportunity and benefit for everyone? Or should it be a plaything for approximately a dozen of the world's most odious assholes? Who knows

This one has been hovering around the top of my want list for a few years. Came across a beautiful 1980 US pressing for a very reasonable price and snatched it up. Essential post-punk. Great sounding pressing.
