...Also, Chris Isaak’s Heart Shaped World needs a vinyl reissue the cheapest US copy currently on Discogs is over $80.

Streaming it for the fourth time, this time for my wife.
Another N&G slam dunk.

 

[WhiteDahlias]

I just ordered my copy. The first song you posted on first post sold me! =D

I am having a lot of fun stalking this club. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and really liked everything so far!

I've been hoping for Chris Isaak reissues... San Francisco Days is the one I'd love most.

I love San Francisco Days!! Glad they finally reissued Forever Blue a few years ago - it sounds great

 

[Waitressboy]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR AOTM!!! You’re so interesting and funny and I love your top 10 lists on the Albums of The Year page! It always cracks me up when I see your list!

And also, I’m just so intrigued with how you didn’t place Robyn’s Body Talk in your top 10 list for 2010! That was a total mindfuck for me

And i love that your favourite album of 2007 was Britney Spears’ Blackout!!!! (PS - Urban Outfitters just released an exclusive of that album on vinyl today. YES!!! First ever vinyl release!).

Blackout is Britney's best album, but my favorite one is Femme Fatale.
Also, I was surprised by how lame the colors of the Blackout vinyl are. Grey and black? Where did they saw that in the album? It should've been orange and red and black. Grey? They thought they were pressing My Prerogative or what?

Yeah, I am not too familiar with Femme Fatale. I know a few songs from there and I like them, but it’s not my sound. It doesn’t have that urban, sexy sound that Blackout has.

I actually really like the Blackout vinyl mock-up! There’s something about it! It just suits the sexy darkness, BDSM, robotic vibe of the album!

I spin my copy of Forever Blue regularly. It's such a good record.

 

[Turbo]

So my copy of All My Shades of Blue is here ... just need some time to get it on the turntable.

 

[blissfullychaotic]

The question is will you trust me next month

Like every month to date I’m going for a genre that hasn’t yet been covered

Finally some post hardcore!!

 

[Joe Mac]

Finally some post hardcore!!

It could be literally anything, providing I like it.

well other than jazz, Lou Reed, metal, country/Americana/pop crossover, flamenco or 50s rock throwback. Oh and Christmas music, I ruled that out too.

Imma save this for later.

 

[supahypeag]

I appreciate that Lou Reed is his own genre

you try and fit him into one!

It's all good Dukey, you don't need to spend money on something you aren't sure you'll enjoy. If you ever change your mind I think you'll be able to grab it later. I'm just glad that everyone gave it a chance.
