Because I'm a silly girl, I'm going to say that there is a vague possibility that I won't buy any more music before the end of this month. Which, honestly is dumb because there are 10 days and another weekend before the end of March and I have every intention of buying The Afghan Whigs' Black Love in the very near future. But hey, let's just go with it, shall we? Under the pretense that I'm not buying anything else until April, here's a quick recap of the music I have acquired since the beginning of the year. There have also been a few random songs and of course the singles for New Music Monday, but these are just the full albums.

So yeah, now that it's all typed out here, it seems like an awful lot. But, to justify it, I did get a few of them used for just a couple bucks (and, admittedly, I did get one of them online for probably way too much but it's worth it to me) and several are EPs that don't cost much. Eh, look, I've got a problem, okay? Don't judge me!
I have this blog because I love music passionately. I love the progression of a song, the swell of it, the way it permeates a room and fills the spaces. I love how it ebbs and flows and how it can be a tangible thing - how you can move around inside it and it can move around inside you. And I love to talk about it, write about it, experience it.
saw your list of records that you own and wanted , I am looking for a copy of we threw our hearts in the fire by madi diaz and saw that it was in your collection and was hoping you might consider a trade . If you are interested send me a list of records you would consider for trade . thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but my copy is signed to me, so I wouldn't want to part with it. Have you tried checking with her directly? She might have extras or could at least tell you if finding one is possible. She is pretty accessible via Twitter. Best of luck in your search!!
