I'm still getting over my New Year hangover.



But.... I did just order the Demdike Stare: Circulation cassette and the Grouper: Paradise Valley single.

I'm gonna try to just stick to 2017 releases if I update this thing to save myself from being embarrassed by the sheer volume of crap I keep buying every year otherwise.

A few more 2017 releases...

New XX: I See You & William Basinski: A Shadow In Time on vinyl and Bary Center: Stop Believing & Stag Hare: Velvet and Bone on cassette.

Still also filling in a few from last year, including Ike Reilly: Born on Fire, picked up at his show last week. Close enough to this year.

Technically came out in 2016, but the vinyl of Young Thug: Jeffery just came out and arrived last night.

And... picked up Dazion: Don't Get Me Wrong, Sampha: Process, pre-ordered Migos: Culture and Thievery Corporation: The Temple of I & I.

Grabbed NoinoNoinoNoino: 8 on cassette and Donna Dunne & The Mystery Men: Voodoo on vinyl.

I'm counting Josef Leimberg: Astral Progressions as 2017. Came out digitally late last year, but vinyl just released this week.

Also picked up King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: Flying Microtonal Banana.

Grabbed a stack of reggae 45s, and J. Sparrow: This A Sound was from 2017.

Also grabbed Sensate Silk, a label compilation tape from the 100% Silk label.

Evan Caminiti: Toxic City Music and Mr. YT: Brand New Day on vinyl. Brand New Day is actually a reissue, but over half the material is new.

Grabbed Styles for Relaxation, a compilation on 2 cassettes on the New Information label out of Portland.

And the new Tosca: Going, Going, Going 2LP on its way.

And...catching up

William Basinski: A Moment in Time
Chuck Berry: Chuck
Kittenkarussel: Insecurity Guard
Sampha: Process
Alice Coltrane: Ecstatic Music
Carl Craig: Versus
Doyley & the Twanglords: Twang Solo
Father: Who's Gonna Get Fucked First
