I think maybe I'll try that record-washing trick on some of my cruddy old records too.

Opeth - Damnation : Not metal at all, just pleasant songs. Great album.

Blur - Think Tank (ltd. edition) : Two days before the official release date! Thank God for street markets...

Sonic Youth - Goo : Dirty Boots is worth the €7,50 I paid for it alone.

Marion - The Program : Best buy ever for €2,50!

(also a slim harpo 'best of' which i gave to a gurl. young and foolish, i know)

Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Best Of
(fared far bettah with this one, attention-span wise: no surprises post bag-opening ;-) )

My excuse is that I am buying it to loan to my SO.

There are some things I want on sale at Tower, but they I don't want them that badly (just want to get them eventually), and they aren't that cheap: Talking Heads Remain in Light, John Coltrane w/ Johnny Hartman, Prince Controversy (and some others), Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions, and others.

I really wanted ARE Weapons and Foxy Brown, but I couldn't find them.

(If I buy Boston and Rush and Ligeti, you will know that I have turned into Sundar.)

[not meant as a criticism of either one of you]

If anything I think my problem is getting worse rather than better.

Two Mohammed Abdou CDs, including one double CD recorded live in Kuwait. I only have two other Mohammed Abdou CDs, but several things on tape (though I lost one of my irreplaceable bootlegs of one of his concerts). He's a great singer, but the backing music can vary from mind-blowing to intolerable. The samples from two of these CDs on www.maqam.com sound promising. Anyway, I thought I'd better grab anything I really want from Saudi Arabia now.

Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Ayler/Cherry/Tchicai/Rudd/Peacock/Murray - New York Eye and Ear Control
Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Miles Davis - Bitches' Brew
Thinking Plague - In This Life
MS Subbulakshmi - The Sound of Subbulakshmi

'In This Life' is SO GOOD. when it first came out it felt a little displaced, odd that such a RIO-compatible record would be coming out 10 years on, but now it's decades after that even, and the record simply sounds fantastic. every single track.

my latest purchases---
