I'm harsh culling. Drives me nuts if I have too many and then rifle through them trying choose what to play and if I skip past the same ones again and again then clearly I dont really want them
Couldnt see myself actually binning any though. Would at least reconstitute the jackets for strays, or maybe wall art

 Van Morrison - His Band And The Street Choir LP 1500 yen, cheap price for this. not even really sure I like it iHomo Patti La Belle And Michael McDonald - On My Own 7" $1. horrific guilty pleasure. Termbo Hipster Elite crying into their vacuum-sealed KBD test pressings. Michael Chapman - 50 LP. $3. some dudes 50th lp ffs. Really good stuff though Mums - Legs LP $12. this is IT! The Go-Betweens - 1978-1990 $10. CD sounds like absolute shit. the worst of CD sounds |

DOMKRAFT / DAY OF DOOM LIVE LP $13. seems a bit boring but thats just cos I'm not playing it LOUD enough SWERVEDRIVER - RAISE LP $17. bought the OG vinyl for 99c back in the day then dumbly sold it (for a fortune). my recently acquired cd copy was unlistenable glassy skree so splurged. 2018 MOV reissue so some alarm bells but the reviews were good and its fine. The cover art is a joke though. Direct from cd, pixellated bullshit YO LA TENGO - ELECTR-O-PURA LP $23. cd upgrade ffs I deserve it MINISTRY - FALL RELOAD 12" $5. my fave period of this band. sludgey BARKMARKET - I DROWN 7" $8. been after something by this band for YEARS ffs Dinosaur Jr. - I Bet On Sky CD $3 Sly & The Family Stone - Fresh CD $3. bout time I got this ffs Orchestral Manoeuvres On My Dick - The Best Of OMD LP. 1,000 yen. yes, yes, I know, I know Midnight Oil - Power And The Passion 7" bought for booming b-side remix Gary Numan - We Are Glass 7" 500 yen Kate Bush - Cloudbusting 7" 500 yen. reacquisition, MORAN Chrome - Read Only Memory 12". 2000 yen. finally snared this bad boy. OG 79 pressing that jumps off the turntable. the whole thing sounds like it is playing backwards yet its still completely relaxing. Sounds like a car trying to start but it's stuck in reverse.  |

Some barely-related comments.
Dino Jr, I saw them on the Green Mind tour with My Bloody Valentine. I was in HS at the time so didn't have much show going experience. It was LOUD. I asked a guy a bit older than me who was also there if that was just my impression at the time or if it was a notably loud show and he confirmed - the show was loud. So good, we got that sorted.
Yo La Tengo - a friend who had just moved here asked me to accompany her to this show and acknowledged it was a real favor because she knew I not only wouldn't like it but would specifically dislike it. She was right. At this show I came up with the theory that, as a band, if you just REALLY stick at it long enough and just kEEP putting stuff out and touring you will EVENTUALLY develop some kind of following.
Ministry - here in Chicago you are always one step away from someone with an Al Jourgensen story. Most of them involve harassing him about "Halloween Is Every Day." People can't resist!
Gary Numan - I know I am obnoxious. I kind of started with Cars and kept poking around that era, back to the Tubeway Army LP with the white cover and face which I thought was even better than Replicas, then back to those two 12"s of the even earlier demos that I now like the most. But you bet when I first heard "Replicas" I was making some very Replicas-style demos and trying to get people to play them with me. We did actually get a theoretically lineup together in a practice space with a girl singer and I advised she make the lyrics "something about robots." Sage advice. She did well! It just never came together...

iHomo Gary Numan was done as soon as the bass player left. Nuts to think those 3 rad albums all came out in 1979 and that was it. Bass player leaves and the magic was gone.1980's Telekon was a massive dropoff and they were done ffs. |

I did not check the lineup or consider the contributions of the bass player but I have no problem believing this theory.
