Boards

but now that Spotify doesn't let you buy tracks any more (sigh), I tried 7digital and bought Sad Souls - Apeiron after someone sent me a track on Spotify from them. Soothing, lovely dream pop.

and hopefully they're gonna send me a bunch of Old Apparatus records, the WIFE ep, Airhead - Wait/South Congress and Broadcast's Berberian Sound System

That Raime album is a steal at 6 quid, immense album

any online record shops that sell good music doing an end of year clear out?

I've picked up:

Powell - Body Music EP
Jam City - Classical Curves
Ex-Easter Island Head - Mallet Guitars Two & Mallet Guitars Two/Music for Moai Hava
Personal Space - electronic bedroom soul compilation
Time to Go - The Southern Psychedelic Moment - compilation of Flying Nun stuff compiled by Bruce Russell.

got my eyes out for the Touch30 compilation along with the L.I.E.S compilation as well, dependent on my finances...

Public Image Ltd. - First Issue
Talking Heads - 77
Talking Heads - Remain In Light
Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues

Also got a Dinosaur Jr. ticket, a Solange ticket, a pair of RHA MA450i earphones, and a pair of Klipsch Image One headphones (although I've realised that they're on-ear as opposed to over-ear, so I'll probably send them back and get a refund).

but looking over emails it looks this is my New Years haul,

Pelt, Keenan Lawler, Clark - Keyhole LP
Emeralds/Tusco Terror - Vaporizer / Feral Cousins LP

and I'm about to get me a Rega P1.

help.

Didn't have the things I wanted in RTE when I popped in the other day but my hands were too itchy to just be sensible and save them, so picked up Daphni- Jiaolong on vinyl despite being only vaguely familiar with it and then succombed and bought Grimes- Visions about a year after everyone else because it sounded nice in the shop. It is a nice record but I'm quite surprised they picked it as their record of the year.

Fidlar - s/t
Blacklisters - s/t
Just waiting on the arrival of the Cold Pumas LP

Emusic
Completed the Fontanelle album
Neurosis - Honor found in decay

Also picked up the latest Deftones.

Never spent £180 on a record before, and probably never will again.

Also went wild on:

Jessica Pratt - S/T
Karen Dalton - In My Own Time
Shirley Collins - The Power of The True Love Knot
and the Burial 12".

MGUN, DJ Spinn, Madteo, Laurel Halo, Marcellis, Actress, Moon B, Roche, AU, Dean Blunt. Mostly new singles bar albums Moon B, DJ Spinn, Madteo and Dean Blunt. Fuck me Moon B is awsome, some kinda lo-fi funk thing on PPU on a Dam-Funk kinda tip. Spinn is up there with Rahad as one of the albums of the year easily and Dean Blunt's solo album is easily the best Hype Williams spin off of the year for me. New Laurel Halo single is so good, way better than the album. Blink and you'll miss Actress 12" is pretty spesh, its on that Hazyville tip rather than that RIP/Splazsh tip and hell its good. New Workshop 12" is badass, one of them sounds lie ka deep eski house thing. New TTT 12" on the way can't wait to get that thru my letter box.

bought on the basis of the two playable songs
