Thelonious Monk: The Riverside Trios

This one isn't going to thrill the wife, but Monk, like Joe Jackson, is an artist I always find myself looking for when ever I go in to a record shop. Typically, I find some. Sorry honey...

The Pixies: Doolittle

The album that inspired Kurt Cobain to pursue a career in music sounds like a great addition to a vinyl collection. Especially in a clean and new repressed version. Like dying and following a monkey to heaven...

Joe Jackson: Night and Day

I am starting a tradition of sorts. Last time I was in New York, I bought a vinly copy of Joe Jackson's Look Sharp. I guess this means if I go looking for vynil in a big city, I best find Mr. Jackson whist there.

Tom Verlaine: Flash Light

I went in looking for some 13th Floor Elevators. They had a section card, but alas no albums behind it. However, the next section was Television, and there in was this little sold solo work by leading man Tom Verlaine. A perfect example of the kind of thing I like to buy on vynil. Rare, but not over priced

The Psychedelic Furs: Forever Now

I don't know much from this one, but it includes President Gas which is in the Furs top 5, and it was four bucks. In MY math, that equals SOLD.

Fleet Foxes: self Titled w/ Sun Giant EP

I've blogged about them in a 'New Artists Whom I Enjoy' entry, and now had the pleasure of purchasing them on vinyl, complete with a digital download code, saving me the required time to rip it to MP3. Thanks for looking out for me, Foxes...

Lou Reed: Berlin

I feel like I've neglected my music collection by not owning this album. The best way I could think of to make up for this injustice was to purchase it on brand new reissued Legacy Vinyl.

Killing Joke: Revelations

Not too much to say about this one. An Irish guy I used to chat with back in the days of Napster used to send me their album tracks. It was cheap so I figured I'd give it a listen.
