A Tour of the Listening Room!
My birthday is fast-approaching, and as you would suspect, I am impossible to shop for. Despite this challenge, my fiance has successfully surprised and delighted me with her creative gifts more and more with each passing year.
This year I had more than once wondered aloud how much I would love a 2-row record bin to flip through my collection record store style. But, as other household expenses have always taken precedence, I'd never gone ahead and ordered one.
But as I mentioned in my preview post above, my fiance with her thrifty eagle eye spotted a wood-framed beer cooler roadside with a large rectangular aluminum-lined cavity that, as luck would have it, measures precisely wide enough for two deep rows of polybagged LPs! It even has an additional shelf underneath for oversize box sets!
It's been so long since I've done a video, and this new acquisition seemed the perfect opportunity for an updated tour of my listening room.
Note: I neglected to mention in the video - Underworld's quintessential album, Dubnobasswithmyheadman is not missing from the collection I present - it is framed on the wall opposite the Eno • Hyde Someday World art print!
A few of the unmentioned items featured include:
Atop the Bookshelf:
William Basinski – The Disintegration Loops Box Set
Cyril Ritchard Reads Alice in Wonderland + Facsimile Clothbound HC of the first edition
Tangerine Dream – In the Beginning…
Tom Waits – Orphans

Underworld – Barking Super Deluxe Ed.
20 Years of Jethro Tull: The Definitive Collection
The Motown Story: The First Decade
Miles Davis at the Fillmore Box Set
Harmonia – Complete Works
Atop the Jazz/20th Century Avant-Garde/Funk & Soul/Blues/ and Proto Electronic Shelf:
Klaus Schulze + Pete Namlook – The Dark Side of the Moog Vol I-IV
Music From Some Guys in Space (Fan-Made Box Set)
FAX +49-69/45046 / Carpe Sonum - Die Welt Ist Klang: A Tribute to Pete Namlook
Lemon Jelly – lemonjelly.ky
Lemon Jelly – Lost Horizons
Lemon Jelly – '64-'95 DVD box
The KLF Recovered & Remastered Collection (with new titles I'll be featuring soon!)
and the Buckner & Garcia - "Pac-Man Fever" square pic disc
As for the contents of the record bin; I think I covered each of these in the vid… but let me know if you're wondering about any titles in particular!
Thanks so much for watching and extra-special thanks to my dear fiance for doing the impossible year after year!
