Actually I finally bought the remastered version of 20 Jazz Funk Greats with the bonus disc after a recent discussion in one of these threads reminded me that In still didn't have it. Good old Throbbing Gristle man.

Then I bought the new Emptyset today, Border. Haven't had a listen yet, but soon. Soon.

Not my pics though. My hand is prettier.

Afghan Whigs - Black Love (20th Anniversary Edition)
Guided By Voices - Cool Planet
Wilco - Schmilco

Oooh! Cool! I forgot about this one.

I dunno what else is in your collection, but these could be the most extraordinary purchases you've ever made. :)

Almost nothing's in my collection anymore, my apartment got flooded last summer and 90% of my stuff ended ruined in shit water.

Call The Doctor is a repurchase, many things I will post here in the future will be.

That's fucking awful. I'm sorry to hear it.

I lost my collection about 12 years ago. Most of it anyway. Almost all the tapes, CD's and vinyl I'd collected over the first 20-something years of my life gone. Luckily I kept my "best of the best" collection separate, as that's all I was able to keep. I'm still playing catch-up, still re-buying albums.

I also lost my entire SY collection once in a separate incident. That stung.

Oh man, that's HORRIBLE. Just this morning I accidentally spilled some Coca-Cola on a couple of magazines and I went apeshit. If I lost a portion of my music collection like you did I would SHOOT myself in the HEAD.

Sorry to hear that, Pony......curious about the album you miss the most?



Are You Sure About That (scroll down for video with sound)

Christ on a STICK... :eek::(:mad: Well, I'd be dead, so it's not like I would be able to care about the mess...

Some recent purchases that I've been enjoying:

Dull Knife - Dull Knife





Rest - LA Lungs


Tile III - Luciernaga

I plead guilty of illiteracy.
:confused:

It does suck, but in the end it's only things and almost everything can be replaced. It was also kind of freeing, losing almost everything I owned. It just really sucked that I didn't have a place for a few weeks and that I have to live rather far out of the center of town now. But it's cheap and I can use the money. So that's that.

I do get sad every now and then when I think "OH, I should put on record XY!" and realize that I don't have it anymore. But that's what spotify is for, I guess...

My Sonic Youth collection is basically non-existent anymore. Have some records, was able to save my Psychic Hearts Vinyl.. but all the shirts, the rare trinkets, VHS', cassettes,... gone.

BUT! it could be worse.


I only cried, like, 3 times after it happened. Life goes on and now I don't have so much stuff to carry whenever I decide to move houses again. My friends are really lazy haha


I don't think I *really* miss any of my records. Every now and then when I get into the mood to listen to a certain band and won't stop listening to them for a few days/weeks I sometimes think "Oh man, I used to own the record" and get sad. Most of the time, if the bank account allows for it, I just go out and get the record and the problem is solved. Right now I have this with Sweater-Kinney, which is why I bought the two albums this week. But there is still a lot missing.

But it's okay. I have to learn to be patient, for now I have all the SK music files saved on my phone and listen to them on heavy rotation. Such a great band, makes me wanna jump around and do stuff! :)

Here are two more I forgot about:

The Hired Hands: A Tribute To Bruce Langhorn


Naked Future - Gigantomachia

:eek: FUCK.

I feel like we should start a GoFundMe campaign for you. That's fucking devastating. I'm so so sorry.

When I lost my SY albums, I didn't have a ton of money, and was inching my way through school. I did the least responsible thing possible and used my paycheck and a chunk of savings to go out and at least replace all the studio albums, like, as soon as I physically could. Now I probably wouldn't make the same call, but then it felt imparitive. Also, the SY stuff was stolen, so that made it worse. I never fully rebuilt my vinyl collection. :(

I'm giving you rep because you're a fucking trooper.

Isn't that a fuckin' Coldplay album? ...No, wait, that piece of shit is called X&Y. Phew! :D

Oh, well, this one I do have. I'm not that illiterate. :)

Two new releases I picked up yesterday

Sun Kil Moon - Common as Light and Love are Red Valleys of Blood
* w/ Steve Shelley on drums

The Feelies - In Between

Enjoying both so far
