Just went down to the record store and found some stuff in the bargain section today:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band (The Beatles): Pretty dusty, but a good deal. It's got a skip on a Day in the Life though Still one of my favorite albums ever though. Blood on the Tracks (Bob Dylan): I'm always up for some Dylan, and for only $2 managed to get this almost pristine early pressing, very clean (had a hard dust jacket, so it was pretty well preserved), so it has great sound quality! I love this album though, it was a monument to his continuing resilience as an artist, and marked his second big breakthrough following a few mediocre albums post-crash. December (George Winston): This guy is my favorite pianist by far, and on this album he perfectly captured the essence of the winter month, the darkness, the snow, and even the holiday, all in a (mostly) piano-solo style. 50 cents? Totes worth it. |

Edit: The current track has Velvet Underground vibes. Holy shit, I already love this album.

Sharon Van Etten - Are We There (2014) I was looking forward to this one and it hasn't disappointed. I'd rank this on par with her previous album Tramp. Like Tramp, the highlights are amazing despite a couple of filler tracks. Still not as good as the filler-free Epic, which is bloody fantastic and hard to top. Vibrasphere - Exploring the Tributaries (2007) I'm currently sitting here in a sleep-deprived state (can barely type as well) and I'm having my mind blown by this epic psytrance gem. Fuck me this is good. Too many albums are described as taking the listener on a journey but this album really does just that. It seems to make you loose track of time and before you know it the album gradually becomes more and more ambient towards the end, like you're reaching some peaceful and beautiful destination.

Yesterday's Children - Yesterday's Children (1969) The debut and only album from this hard rock/heavy psych band from the late 60's. A forgotten gem of an album, solid from start to finish, and never sounding dull. I wouldn't be surprised if Axl Rose of 'Guns N' Roses' heard this album in his younger days and got his vocal inspiration from the song "Evil Woman." 9/10 |

Renaldo & the Loaf - Songs for Swinging Larvae Found this LP at the local record store for $4, pretty great deal if you ask me.

Meshell Ndegeocello—Bitter Only listened to it once so far. It may be a little too low-key for my tastes, not sure yet, but I do enjoy her bass playing and some of the arrangements so far. |

Mark E. Smith - The Post Nearly Man Not even close to what I expected as it's a very interesting mix of sound collages and spoken word bits. Actually, I'm not sure what I expected from the mind behind The Fall. This is some weird **** though, but not in a bad way. I think if I lend it a few more listens I'll appreciate it more.

Mr. Bill—IRL I was listening to this earlier today and am still up in the air on it. It's basically IDM with an R&B aesthetic. I can't decide if I like it or if I find it kind of bland. I think I keep coming back to it because I find the cover art incredibly endearing. |
