damn, that sucks aye, i go to my local big awesome music shop every week
they almost shut down but managed to get bought out by another company and still trade under their proper name
all their other shops here have closed though [3 others] the one in christchurch only closed because of the earthquake though
they do secondhand stuff which most others here don't, actually there were about 10 music shops in the cbd but now there are 2

I just purchased Apocryphon by The Sword, it came with a free cassette limited to only 3000 copies.

Where'd you get the Absurd shirt?

That gives a rough average of 28 CDs bought every month over ten years! Jesus... you Canadians must be loaded!

i've bought just over 1200 in a year
and that excludes a couple of bulk deals
DarthVenom's 10 year collection quest is a bit more impressive though really!

I actually whipped out the calculator yesterday, and it came up with something like 1.1 CDs per day for ten years, on average...

But I think it's safe to say that music is one of my biggest passions, even though I don't actually play with any competency, so I'd consider it well worth the combined cost.

New package from the No Sign of Life sale:



Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja
Primordial - A Journey's End
Skepticism - Aes
Solstafir - Masterpiece of Bitterness
Summoning - Oath Bound
Urfaust - Ritual Music for the True Clochard
Walknut - Graveforests and Their Shadows

Solstafir - Anti-Christian Heathen Bastard shirt
Atlantean Kodex - The Pnakotic Demos

Probably the best album this year. Amazing stuff. You guys in Quebec get a 15 minute epic tribute; all I got was my name in the credits...

Anyways, as for me:

Behexen-Nightside Emanations
Down-IV Part I: The Purple EP
God Seed-I Begin
Pig Destroyer-Book Burner

I read you. Still, it's a lot of money!


Please stop depressing me, if I buy a tenth of that it's a good year. Damn, it hurts to be poor...

i buy things and they turn out to be things i don't listen to, or i buy things i already have but maybe a different version, which leaves me with double ups
the cds i'm selling [in my 'for sale' thread] are those items, check it out if you haven't already.
but i really need to only buy things i know i'll like!

It's the 2012 Rykodisc reissue, sounds great. I gave up trying to find a cheap 1st press at this point. But yeah, the show was crazy. They played the entire album start to finish and I moshed pretty much the entire time!

fuckin' aye!

Finally Invocator - Excursion demise and Holy terror - Mind Wars

Not to forget: Psychopath - Making the Transition

Katatonia - Jhva Elohim Meth... the Revival

"Narconomicon" by Whiskey Ritual

They are both italian bands

How much dare I ask?

Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
Immolation - Failures For Gods
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Beherit - Engram
Tangerine Dream - Tangram
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon

Deathspell Omega- Drought (fuck the hype, this band is still good.)
Blut Aus Nord- 777 (awesome trilogy start to finish. the artwork is great too.)
Enslaved- riititirrr (my keyboard doesn't have runes but you know what I mean. Really surprised at how good this record is, after a somewhat disappointing previous one.)
Nachtmystium- Silencing Machined (although I liked both 'black meddle' albums, I'm glad they're over. This sounds like it was recorded immediately following 'instinct.')

Got one of these from mail on bought the rest from local record store today.

A Tribe Called Quest - 'Low End Theory' (My second hip-hop album!)

Agalloch - Faustian Echoes [EP]

you guys are so cool, just look at the awesome music you're buying
horns and hails, heavy metal and hi fives

i got this really weird danish cd rack in a secondhand shop a couple of days ago, i'll put up a photo soon.

Top. If playing made any wear on the CDs my Primordial ones would be transparent by now.

This is actually why I'm all OCD with my LPs... No matter how well you care for the needle, the player and the record, eventual degredation is just an inevitable fact of LPs after constant play. Not to batter down the format, though.

And agreed, that Primordial album is ace. My personal favourite from them.

Agreed about that Primordial album. 'Empire Falls' is my favorite song of theirs, and hearing it live was like a religious experience for me.

TEMPEST "SOLACE" 7"
Ruined Families 7"

mutha fuck, you got all that for $30 including shipping?!
not that i've heard of most of it but still.

yea it's neat... too bad like I said... I own most of the good shit already. So I plan on offloading it.

there is probably 4 or 5 out of that lot I might want. Others I haven't even heard or never cared for. I'll sample through and then get rid of the rest. I'll make my investment back easily... even if I just take it to the single cd store here on the coast and sell them all to him.

any decent thrash or doom in there? i've not heard of most of them so nobody laugh

None of it is metal. it's mainly hardcore and screamo. That's why you have never heard of it. You probably have never heard of Magic Bullet Records.

Corn on Macabre is now vying for the top slot in hilarious band names alongside The Dictator Tots.

I have some V/A VHS comp of live material that has Crestfallen on it, can't remember what they sound like, though. Assuming it's the same band since the comp has pg. 99 and Majority Rule on it.

It is a great album. I was lucky enough to find it used at FYE for $3.99.... a steal in my book!
