Thank you sir, a pleasure doing business.

Ah didn't know you were into 20th century classical. What other vinyl do you have?

Nowhere near as much as I'd like, certainly very little on the contempory classical side (yet).

Asides from my BOC and Stars of the Lid collection, I've been hoovering up alot of 2nd and 3rd hand vinyl from charity shops etc. Hit a rich vein of Russian vinyl about a year ago - something like 30+ LPs ranging from Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky Korsakov, not to mention some incredible Russian choral LP's which have to be heard to be believed. Bought the lot for £5!!

[fujee]

Bargain !

I have a few Bartok, Prokofiev and Rachmaninov 2nd hand, Couple Penderecki and Messaien which are gems. The choral music sounds really nice though, vinyl hunting is so much fun.


Have you found you will always, no matter what come across a Glen Miller LP though? It's like the albums were pressed trillions of times for record shop shelves.

Haha, so true. Some others I find are always lurking are, Scottish folk music - bagpipes and such and really bad pop from the 80s which isnt even bad it's good, it's just awful ha.

Half the fun though, surely? I mean, if we wanted 'easy' we'd fire up iCHOONS(innit).

As we have to suffer for our art, so we have to turn away from the Barry Manilow if we're to reap our Henryk Gorecki.

Got a problem with Barry Manilow Mex?

Mexicola, a good soundtrack indeed. Own the same vinyl myself, one of the first I ever picked up when I started collecting back in high school.

Anyhoo, new purchase...this new computer that I built myself!! It's not a hardcore crazy stacked system but a definite upgrade for me as I was running a deathly old Dell circa 2004. Specs are
-ASUS M5A78L-M LX motherboard
-AMD Athlon II X4 640 CPU
-1 TB Seagate SATA HDD
-other typical hardware...DVD burner etc

I'm only using the on-board video which is an ATI Radeon 3000HD with a bit over 1GB memory. I will be getting a dedicated PCIe card soon enough. In the meantime tho, this card is more than enough to play new games (and generally badass to me since I haven't been able to play new PC games in years), so I'm back on Steam at long last! Add me if you are down for some gaming, I don't have a whole lot of games but I'd love some recommendations of stuff people play on here..Steam ID is The_Observer.
