I bought the four smiths 180g heavy vinyl remasters yesterday. Got them for a tenner each in out on the floor in Camden which was a bargain. Also bought a couple of albums by the panics from Australia online.

I'm saving them for later in the week and a nice glass of single malt or two. It seems weird that there's as many live and compilation albums released while they were still going as there are proper albums. I'd love Hatful of Hollow and World Won't Listen on 180g.

Wilco (The Album) - have heard a few songs from this floating around over the past months but hadn't downloaded the whole thing until this weekend. It's quite good and I'm really enjoying it. I gotta lotta love for Jeff Tweedy - such an excellent writer/performer!

Just downloaded 'Head Over Heels' by Cocteau Twins.

A blast from th epast. I've got it on vinyl and recently re-discovered it going through my old albums. I just had to have it on my MP3 player.

Have bought 2 new albums over the past couple of weeks, and both are excellent:

Avett Brothers, "I And Love And You"
I was really pleased with this set. Solid pretty much the whole way through. A couple of really fantastic tracks, and the rest are all better than average.

Fanfarlo, "Reservoir"
This is a real treat! I'd heard the song "I'm A Pilot" on the radio about a week ago, and it sounded great, so I checked into the band and liked everything I heard! I got the deluxe edition, with some decent bonus tracks.
