Didn't buy a single record in 2024 due to modern prices. Landed in LA and promptly dropped 100 at Amoeba

To those of you who suggested heavy duty Uhaul boxes for the move, are they stackable? My new storage shelves have had their shipment delayed due to the holidays and so I'm gonna have boxes upon boxes in my new 1200 sq foot condo (and am adding a roommate to make buying work, so I can't just throw them into the spare bedroom).
Moving after buying a condo. Have been using a 2 by 4 Kallax that is gonna be a little too big (horizontally speaking) for my new spot. I believe the Kallax are 58 inches long. I need something closer to 50 inches long and then 3 or four shelves high. I know that means I'm gonna have to drop some $$$. But if it allows me to have a permanent record solution and I can keep it under 2k... Suggestions?
Three favorite late year finds (so far):
Doechii: Alligtor Bites Never Heal
Allegra Krieger: Art of the Unseen Infinity
JunoDream: Pools of Colour
All three are in HEAVY rotation atm
What website is it that has the moving boxes for records?
Not enough love for the new Nicolas Jaar album. Perpetually underrated between Darkside, Against All Logic and the work under his real name.
The new Cure album sounds so good dosed the fucked up on Dayquil
Newest argument caused by music league--
Are the Gorillaz a Super Group?
I'm in two Music leagues-- and one of them has caused a huge argument in regards to what qualifies as a deep cut. Is it:
A) Basically anything that isn't a single or on the radio or..
B) A song that even fans often overlook
Also-- we should get a N&G Music League going
Holy shit the Foo Fighters are sooo good live. With Ani Difranco and Turnstile also being highlights from day one of Riot Fest.
New Slowdive and Puma Blue are excellent but this is the album that's sky rocketing up my year end list.
No offense to the people who love him, but it occured to me during Bon Iver's set last night: dude sounds like a Muppet who got bored with the Rainbow song and started trying to make Kanye tunes
And I don't like Kanye.
Saturday was a mess of cancelations, rain delays, sound issues and performers who got really drunk while waiting the the weather out, but Pitchfork was still a great time. Favorite sets were Mdou Motor, The Smile, Perfume Genius and Killer Mike. Big Thief, Axel Boman, Charolete Haggerty and Jockstrap were also rock solid. See you next year @ayayrawn & @siremobunny
Facebook just reminded me that this is the 10 year mark of my first record purchase. Little did I know that they would be the main feature of my apartment in 2023. Few regrets about the hobby. But damn do I wish the fucking bubble would burst so I afford to replace some of the records that have worn down over the past decade.
Completely down a Grace Jones, Donna Summer rabbit hole atm. Please send help-- OR adjacent artists.
Thanks!
Gets my vote for the most underrated album of 23' so far:
