I'm just happy that I bought some records today and there was a copy of Arvo Part/Tabula Rasa which I've been looking for forever.

So you're like a 50s married couple where he as the husband technically has the right to make all the decisions but you as the wife badger him until he does what you want and his privilege lets him think everything's great or at least confusing enough that he just leaves it to you and since you're doing all the work behind the scenes you're bitter and jaded and waiting for second wave feminism?

You're like 75% spot on. I'm not waiting for anything.

The fact that you say you're not waiting for anything is why you're a 50s wife and not a 60s wife.

Recently picked up Pink Moon by Nick Drake on vinyl. Gonna try to get his other 2 on vinyl as well.

^ Nick pick, Key. I don't have any Nick on vinyl, although I do have all his CDs. I love his guitar playing and would like to hear the vinyl version for that aspect especially. I've probably listened to Bryter Layter the most over the years. On Pink Moon, I think "Things Behind The Sun" and "Parasite" are my favorite tracks.

P.S.: I have the same guitar that Nick is pictured with on the cover of Bryter Layter (the Guild M-20).

That's awesome! Yeah I got into nick drake years ago and finally decided to start adding his music to my vinyl collection. It sounds very good on vinyl as well. Highly recommend.

Pitchfork readers unite!

Was legit worried they'd be sold out on that record because of that article and general press surrounding that album tbh. It's what brought me into the store.
