Fresh Grabs

Last month, I completed** a no-buy March. Only a single preorder made from last October arrived a few weeks ago.

March Acquisition

City Girl - Time Falls Like Moonlight

These lo-fi beat mixes are kind of fun, but bought for the potential nice ROI if I find myself not wanting this much longer. Given how much the previous crowdfunded City Girl vinyl release goes for, which I also own, I'm certain this will fetch similar aftermarket prices.

**Armand Hammer - Haram (signed)

I have to add an asterisk for this grab as I bought this in the merch line last night after the Armand Hammer show in Portland. The merch line went for almost an hour, and was around midnight by the time I got to the table. Seeing that I probably would not have another opportunity to get this record again (and signed by Billy Woods + ELUCID), I felt OK to splurge. The cost was easier to stomach considering I sold a record for $60 about two days ago.
I may or may not have broken my "no-buy March" I've set for myself in the closing minutes of the month, but it was justifiable enough given the opportunity.

And last, but most certainly not least(!), a Sun Ra release that seemed like a wild goose chase for many many months with more cancelled orders than I've ever experienced in my attempts to get my hands on a copy (@MikeH even tried on my behalf and had his order cancelled!)

I know I don't post new acquisitions until post-month, but I ordered this yesterday after seeing an IG post of the reissue, and it arrived this morning OMG!

I've never had a record arrive this quickly, not even from Amazon.
Kranky is based in Portland. It’s probably similar to when I order something from Sub Pop.
