As you can see, it's a lot of records, as such I want someone to get excited about one so I pick it out of the pile first. I'll get there with all of them eventually but I'll be pissed off if the last one I listen to, in three months time, is the best of the lot.
I also got some records by Pedro The Lion, Animal Collective, Fucked Up etc. but I know them well already.
