That MONO collection is amazingly fantastic.

the Boris smells like the kind of gum that came with baseball cards or the garbage pail kids gum

Yeah, so it's not just me (or mine). I thought I was crazy. But it really does smell like baseball card bubble gum. It's given me a craving.

Today I bought two more pieces of vinyl: In Rainbows & Meddle.

The other day I went to the dark side and ordered two CDs on a gift card from Barfs & Ignoble: Spacemen 3 - Perfect Prescription & Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas.

gone by mono is truly special, is like all those songs were meant to be a cohessive (sp?) record thought out like that from the start.

CDs:
Built to Spill: You in Reverse.
Mono: You Are There.

the boris album totally smells like gum
i thought i was insane!

How'd they do that?

Tanky, no love for my recent Floyd pick-ups? I saw a bunch of other Floyd stuff in the store today but I just couldn't bear to do it. My stomach started turning as soon as I picked up the Dark Side LP. Honestly, though, if there'd been any other pre-Dark stuff, I would have gone for it. I'm liking Meddle.

^I bought that for my girlfriend the other week. It's quite good. It came with a free iron-on of the cover too, and bonus 5 track disc. She covers some greats, doesn't she.

these just arrived in the post today from VT:
LSD POND

 

SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN - WEEKEND AT BURNIE'S 2


i think i'll listen to LSD first

oh and regarding the Boris - Pink LP, my SUNBURNED LP smells like a damp tent when you wake up in the morning, perhaps we should start a new thread: What does yr vinyl smell of?

Most of my vinyl simply smells like vinyl, of the record variety--and there is a smell. Slightly petrol, slightly plastic-like, but in a nice way.

A few rare ones actually smell like something else, like Boris. I think the bubble gum smell might be coming more from the jacket than the vinyl, though. Maybe it's something they use in the ink.

My Daydream Nation CD used to smell like incense.

I think Tonto + .

For the cost of postage, a friend is sending me some LPs. He's dumping his collection and gave me dibbs on what he's got left. These are on the way:

Elvis Presley - "The Sun Collection"
Shonen Knife - "Pretty Little Baka Guy"
Dead Boys - "We Have Come for Your Children"
Eddie Cochran - "Legendary Masters Series"
Patsy Cline - "12 Greatest Hits"
Blondie - "Plastic Letters" and "Blondie"
The Rolling Stones - "Cocksucker Blues / Brown Sugar" 12" (colored vinyl) !!!!
The Damned - "Machine Gun Etiquette" and "Live @ Shepperton"
Jesus and Mary Chain - "Sidewalking" 12"
The Cramps - "What's Inside a Girl?" 12" and "Creature from the Black Leather Lagoon" 12" (pic disc)

nice, gmku.

now that's scoring!

Yeah, I'm especially excited about seeing that Stones 12" single. If it's the one I know about, that's a different version of Brown Sugar, one with slide guitar they recorded with Clapton on Keith's birthday.

Oh yeah, well done on that score!
