The New Model Army Small Town England 2 X CD was ten bucks NEW (and I had $23.00 in trade!) from Into the Music.
The Roman Line Morning Portraits and the Teenage Bottlerocket Freak Out were 16.99 and 17.99 (ouch!) at War on Music.
The Gordon Lightfoot 3 X CD (which covers five full LP's) was $4.00 at an antique store which was awash in metal (but also Johnny Cash and the Ramones) CD's.
As for my $10.00 in vinyl, purchased early this morning not from a 'garage sale' but a 'man cave' sale, I got a number of things from outside my ken but cheap vinyl is fun to buy and ripe fo re-sale.

Lunch was at Five Guys Burgers & Fries, a US import which ought be labelled the Peanut Allergy Death Star* for it's obsession with using peanut oil for everything. That said, the burgers were both busy (eight or nine toppings is the basics) and highly tasty. I prefer to limit my chain restaurant visits but I'd go back for a burger that good.
Did you buy anything this week?
let us know in the COMMENTS Section!
* I suggest a sign on the door that says "If you have any peanut allergies, you've already come too far. Please flee immediately."

Does the Freak Out! booklet have any lyrics?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed!
DeleteSweet!
DeleteBought Ricki Jones, Van Halen and Bob Dylan LP's for a total of $1 from a garage sale.
ReplyDeleteSweet deal!
DeleteWhich Dylan?
Hopefully this doesn't appear twice. Bought Joey Ramone "Ya Know" and the new Jerry Douglas this week. Both good listens so far. That Lightfoot set is a favourite of mine. Can't say the same for 5 Guys...
ReplyDeleteLike the Joey-Jerry variety (I think Jerry would dig "Waiting For That Railroad").
DeleteBought the box set of Mermaid Avenue and an Uncle Tupelo anthology. I'm in a heavy Tweedy mood...
ReplyDeleteI love that set, I feel my money was well-spent.
DeleteBought the new re-issues of TV Smith's Explorers "Last Words..." and his solo "Channel 5" just out in the UK. Interesting to see the NMA in there, as I've been listening to them A LOT in the past month, especially those early releases.
ReplyDeleteI need to get those two, there's still a lot of gaps in my TV collection.
DeleteThat NMA album hit me hard back in the eighties - it still sounds great!
Downloads only: Gosh Darn Chickens - Three Bobuck Contraptions (The Residents) and Let's Boot and Rally (Iggy Pop with Bethany Cosentino). Most purchases are downloads now, even when its CDs or vinyl they eventually get ripped to a tera drive.
ReplyDeleteI've still only paid for a few D/L's but that's now a crucial part in how we help artists survive.

Delete3) I'll have to check out osme of those bands.
5) Te D.O.A. sounds good - I may well get it.
6) Yeah both me and my fellow rock nerd have been considering getting that one.
Channel 3 is coming back to Winnipeg on the 3 & 4 of August.
ReplyDeleteWill you be there Jeffen?
FUCK YES!
DeleteI may have to go solo as I haven't found anyone to go with but I'm sure the other fossils of Winnipeg punk will be in attendance.
Picking up Grief's "Turbulent Times" meant I had to leave a Tim Buckley two-fer behind...for now. On the horizon purchase-wise: The Posies "Amazing Disgrace" and The Go-Betweens "16 Lover's Lane".

Please do not pay much for that Posies - it's a dump-bin classic!
