[Larsen B]

Recently I have bought:

Dedalus/Politik Split ep
Arab Strap - Monday At the Hug and Pint (and the guy in One-Up gave me money off for "having good taste", which was nice.)
Downloaded Modest Mouse and TV On the Radio and a couple of GY!BE albums, the thieving little get i am.

It's a love/hate relationship for me really.

Yeah, years ago, I stupidly used to store vinyl under my dartboard. One day, I got a bounce-out and it landed point-first on a 10" picture disc! I was inconsolable for about a week and the dartboard had to go. Strange thing is, the dart made a big blister mark, but it's worn down over the years and the record is nearly back to normal now.

You can't work in both of them surely?

I might well pop into the Global on King Street tomorrow en route to being raped financially at uni as I got Sheryl Crow's 'Tuesday Night Music Club' for £3 in there ages ago

I work in the King Street branch, Soviet Drumming System works the Holburn one. I'll be there tommorow, bright and early (ish)

Properly encoded high bitrate mp3's have no audible loss in quality.
There are no quality issues when you download dvd iso's which you burn straight to a dvd-r and are exactly the same as the commercial release, sans packaging.
I'd be happy to have all my film/audio stored in a computer, dvd's and cd's take up too much space as it is, without a box and an inlay.

I'm gonna talk about the scene to which I belong. The inclusion of a booklet or further literature is of extreme importance to DIY political punk releases - providing information to support the lyrics. Listings of activist contacts may be included too. It demonstrates also that the band has taken time and care over the release - not simply thrown it out with little thought.

it is indeed an excellent album. the other chap is of course steven dedalus. my favourite track being number 2 title is something about stumbling into a room. love it.

i just bought most of my stash from one up as i left on saturday. that was expensive. included in which was the rather funky and ace birth by keith jarrett. and i was also given the jeff buckley legacy edition of grace as a leaving gift! woo! it has all the videos and a making of grace documentary as well as a song with shudder to think.

i also recently bought sunn o -white 2 and haven't managed to listen to it all the way through yet. love the ideas but it made me lose the hearing in my left ear and feel a bit sick. looks like their scotland bound later in the year btw. yowza! anyone know where i could get stuff by earth as well?
