Some new (order) used cds
Someone had offloaded this lot to the secondhand store so I scooped them up.
Same new store, new set of vinyl!
I am absolutely thrilled with this lot but positively jubilant about the Kraftwerk maxi!
I found a new second hand store
And they have a synthpop section for singles! Pure heaven! Actually found a grail of mine…
1 new and 4 used
Kites new album (actually a collection of their EPs) and 2 Dinosaur jr, a Daft Punk and an Earache compilation. My tastes vary.
F13 soundtrack at secondhand store
Lucky find, F13 part 4, my favorite part btw, on a double gatefold LP pressed in 45 RPM.
The most expensive of the bunch was Alma Cogan, everyone. Alma Cogan is the correct answer.
Upgrade time again.
Important note: only Severin sells the 8-disc collection. Everyone else has 7 discs and are missing two movies.
Dreamcast disagrees. https://www.consoledatabase.com/consoleinfo/segadreamcast/ /s
Spidergawd VII
This arrived yesterday in both vinyl and cd form. Norways best rock band delivers on their 7th album, it’s a contender for album of the year for me.
Found a cute new single
And yes, it plays at 33rpm, weirdly. The songs are You’ll be there for me / When you’re gone.
Halloween II is still available: https://johncarpentermusic.bandcamp.com/album/halloween-ii
There used to be some rips on torrents.ru. Not sure nowadays, i’ve marked .ru as a no-go zone. If you have a PS3 you can rip them yourself.
I watched NetworkChucks tutorial and just did what he did but on my Macbook. Any recent Macbook(M-series) will suffice. https://youtu.be/Wjrdr0NU4Sk?si=myYdtKnt_ks_Vdwo
Sure is slow in here
So heres a bunch of synthpop singles I bought cheaply for you to gawk at! Do your worst!
Super Audio CD. Competed with DVD-Audio format back in the late 90s. Neither format was very succesful. All Sony bluray players still sold can play the format. It had its own sound format, 1 bit with a sample rate of 2.8 MHz, called DSD.
Mail call!
Just new stuff this time. They had a sale, get 3 for a fixed price. And these looked like fun: Carpenter Brut / Leather Terror - synthwave, moody and cinematic. Cabaret Voltaire / The covenant, the sword and the arm of the lord - I’ve known of this group but never really listened to them, time to change that! And finally Warsaw/ this is early, early Joy Division stuff and just really great.
New SACD for the collection
Three disc set. I haven’t listened too much to the Stones so this will probably sound all new to me. I have seen more SACDs on the used market lately which is nice.
Just singles today
The most interesting to me was Swans cover of Love will tear us apart. Soothing!
God I live singles! 🤩
Got a bunch of new vinyl
Kite 1 and 4 (swedish synthpop), the new remastered Opus Dei from Laibach, and an original maxi of Life is life. Sepulchre inc. was a short-lived (this is their only release) swedish Skinny Puppy-sound a like. All in all a good catch!
The state of movies on physical media in Sweden is now that all major electronics retailers have dropped it. They used to have a pick 2 for 10 type basket over by the video games but thats gone. The really big grocery stores sometimes has a shelf with 5 or 6 of the latest releases usually only stocked with dvd and bluray. I basically have to go to second hand stores to browse physical media. So I order all new releases online. Don’t let this sad state of affairs happen to you!
Some new cds today
All new cds, all old music. 😂 Mostly electronic as you can see. The FSOL ISDN is the new 30th anniversary 2 disc set. 👍🏻
Another colored Kraftwerk album
Found this used but still not what I would call cheap. Another great album anyway!
I also got tapes
Lots and lots of tapes!
1 empty 3”(?) reel 1 empty 5” reel 4 empty 7” reels 1 empty 10” reel
4 unused Ampex 456 10” tapes
1 Philips Tape kit (Knife and labels, green, red and white leadertape, white adhesive tape, switching foil)
3 Philips 7” tapes (1 normal, 1 Longplay, 1 Doubleplay) 1 Scotch Classic 7” tape 13 BASF 7” tapes 4 Kodak 7” tapes
2 Gevasonor 3” tapes 1 Philips 3” tape 1 Agfa 3” tape
1 5” tape made for EREF Electronics of Scandinavia 4 Philips 5” tapes (1 Longplay) 2 3M Scotch 5” tapes
2 5” tapes w/o box, very filthy 12 7” tapes w/o box, very filthy
Physical media is magnificent!
It will take some time to find out. My LD-player just decided to die on me. 😢
I wasn’t impressed by it at the time but i’m willing to rewatch. Since its in 4k. 😝
A lot less since I started using docker instead of running separate vms for everything. Less systems to update is bliss.
