Picked up a couple things this Memorial Day weekend:

Shearwater - Palo Santo
Scott Walker - Scott4

Elemental - Tears for Fears
Blue Angel
Radiohead - In Rainbows

I kept myself to a $20 limit yesterday and picked up a couple nice ones:

the Vibrators - Pure Mania

Their 1977 debut for $10! I love it. The guy who rang it up was jealous

The Waitresses - Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful?
Fun stuff - sporadic noisy divebombs of random clutter piled onto spunky Sire Records-esque new wave/pop what have you.

I bought vinyl's of The Album Leaf

Kaleta & Zozo Afrobeat Country Of Guns

Ordered a few recently:

The The - Mind Bomb
Public Image Limited - Death Disco
Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963

I've been in San Francisco the last couple days - stopped at Amoeba yesterday.

I found some sweet wax (all originals):

Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five - the Message
Boogie Down Productions - Criminal Minded
XTC - Go 2
Dr. Octagon - Octagynecologist
Gloria Gaynor Love Tracks

Then today I went to Aquarius and blew another load:

Aufgehoben 7"
Mok Nok - Slug...something I forget
Inca Ore

Good ones there. Too bad you couldn't find the actual Metal Box, huh?

I'm really digging that Ultravox record. I couldn't believe I hadn't heard of Johnny Foxx before - he's a class A almost Bowie.

And yeah, too bad about no metal box. Although I've never been lucky enough to see one of those originals, even up on the super $50-100 racks.

...and I think I'm coming around on Mount Zoomer

The Stooges - s/t

essential.

The Steve Miller Band Fly Like an Eagle
Talk Talk It's My Life
