I scored better on this than my Voight-Kampff test.
-
I ordered the 'limited first edition' as well. Turns out I've got to pay an additional ransom of £18 to Her Bastard Majesty's Customs and Extortion. Oh well, still excited about picking this up later. Plus at least the bonus track is more than the customary two-minute noise fart, and I have a definite fetish for obi strips.

Looks like I'm facing an extra customs charge for the Japanese CD as well (not for the first bastard time) judging by the tracking status from Parcel Force. Like it hasn't cost enough already. Hope S+R appreciate this.

Vinyl turned up Friday morning, still no CD, I ordered them together as well. It's going to pain me to unwrap it later today, if I do I suppose I should finally do the same with the Ufabulum vinyl as well. Got the shipping notification for the Japanese CD Saturday morning.

I think everyone loves Arkham Asylum. Get the Absolute edition if you can, includes the full, original script by Morrison, full of references that you probably didn't get or just didn't make it to the final book That version is one of the best Christmas presents I ever got a few years ago. I also got the very first UK hardback edition when it came out, subsequently 'lent' it to a now cunt of an ex along with my Year One and Dark Knight Returns, never to be seen again. Some lessons really hurt. Anyway, I'm also keen on getting these: One day I'll finally read Maus as well, shame on me.

SInce getting the Unearthing boxset recently I've had big Alan Moore renaissance. I though the Century books were decent, my fave being 1969 for the references to Performance and obscure Avengers characters. Black Dossier was superb though, can't beat Jeeves and Wooster Vs Cthulhu. Recently picked up this, not found the right time to read it yet: And speaking of Batman, no love for this?

The talk of Scary Monsters reminds me of those Chu-Bops (had to google to remember their name) things knocking about in the early 80s, basically a 3" circular piece of pink chewing gum in a miniature album sleeve. I remember getting Scary Monsters and, for some reason lost in the mists of time, Neil Diamond's The Jazz Singer. Wish I'd bought a few and kept them mint and unchewed. Tangential bollocks aside, I agree that Scary Monsters is an awesome album, listening to it again right now thanks to this thread.
-
Same, Sketches and Spells is my fave Ghost Box release I think. But I'll lap up the revised Let Loose, plus the Pye Corner Audio album when it comes.
-
Forgot Surfer Rosa by Pixies. And Nomeansno's Wrong, fucking awesome album. Plus the first three Echo and The Bunnymen albums and The Teardrop Explodes albums.

26 Mixes For Cash Did Warp really use mp3s for some tracks on 26 Mixes?
Caretstik replied to a topic in Aphex Twin
I still don't understand why they cut the MBM remix in half. If it was to do with space on the CD then any number of drossy fillers could've been omitted instead. -
Too many to choose from: Cocteau Twins: all of the 4AD albums The Cure: Seventeen Seconds, Faith, Pornography New Order: Movement, PCL, Low-life The Smiths: The Smiths, Meat Is Murder Matt Johnson/The The: Burning Blue Soul, Soul Mining Easterhouse: Contenders The Fall: Grotesque, Hex Enduction Hour, Perverted By Language, The Wonderful And Frightening World Of, This Nation's Saving Grace, Bend Sinister Associates: Sulk Microdisney: Everybody Is Fantastic, The Clock Comes Down The Stairs Bauhaus: The Sky's Gone Out Soft Cell: The Art Of Falling Apart Momus; Circus Maximus The Happy Family: The Man On Your Street Sonic Youth: Confusion Is Sex, Bad Moon Rising, EVOL, Sister Human League: Travelogue The Jesus And Mary Chain: Psychocandy Stewart Copeland: Rumblefish Echo & The Bunnymen: Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here The Teardrop Explodes: Kilimanjaro, Wilder Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds: Kicking Against The Pricks, Your Funeral...

Trawling through Spotify and I can't find a version of 'Don't Make Me Over' that fully satisfies me.
-
I downloaded the first two albums just because they were free, and I liked them a lot more than I expected to, especially the second one. I'll pick up Visions when I can be arsed, it's always nice to find a new artist on 4AD I actually like. Is she genuinely a Dune geek or did she just google most of the Geidi Primes titles? EDIT: this thread made me put Geidi Primes on again. It reminds me of how I imagined Jodorowsky's Dune would've ended up.

Nothing too exciting, just got this for the sake of having it after all these years: + Are those Adistar Racer?

I hear ya. Am glad someone does, The lols are fadeing away more and more since theres others analyzing every picture if its funny or not, Weres the lol in that exactly I think of the funny pics thread as the funny pages in a newspaper, Were as others look upon it as some sort of failed funny art gallery True. It doesn't help that pics that SOME people find funny are removed by the moderators etc because they don't find it funny. Yep, Agreed awwww look at them... having a conversation. Ah, keltoi, please don't join the grown-up WATMMer exodus.

I've just bought some new shelves but they won't make themselves so I'll have to get off my arse and assemble them.
-
Nice spot, forgot about this album. If it's not too obvious, the Snowman mix of Stakker Humanoid is mindblowing.
-
There you go, nice one kaini. Although I would've been glad to share it as well. Boring aside: I only found recently that Patrick Allen had done the original narration for the Protect and Survive PIF. As a kid I thought he'd done it specifically for Two Tribes.
-
Yes, and it's really good.
-
I always see the cover as a scarecrow and a bit of broccoli (and I have two CDs and the vinyl).
-
Well I liked Cylobotnia even if noone else did. And the two Vibert / Simmonds albums are ace.

Didn't that came with a kaleidoscope? Nah, I got fuckall with mine (day of release here as well).

I reckon Aunt Flo was a bit of a looker back in her heyday.
