I just noticed that someone had Romanized the band names in ballpoint pen on the back of the sleeves!

disco_che said::oof: You're not exactly in love with Poland. Sounds horrible. So shipping the records is the only thing that's holding you back from leaving. Don't know where you want to go but can't you just rent a big truck and drive the shit you…

disco_che said: Thanks for the insight. I even had some very few lesson in russian in school but this is long ago and I forgot everything. Seems like fixing my portable is the only solution for now. Recently I made a little score with an A…

Not to sound smug, but Cyrillic is not that hard to learn. It took me about a week of casual practice whilst unemployed to learn to read it, and it helps a lot when trying to figure out what's going on with a Melodia LP. Most of the good Melo…

Lithuania is not the third world. I'm one country over in Poland and get my packages from the US via regular airmail, like everyone else in the EU (except the Italians.) Never mailed to Lithuania, but have bought from dudes in Vilnius (while living …

People who turn on their turn signal after they've already started turning. Um, dude, the signal is supposed to convey your intent to turn and warn other drivers of your plan. Thanks for letting me know you're already turning - I couldn't figure tha…

Glenn Danzig may be a total douche, but the first Danzig record is totally awesome. I've never quite figured out why he adopted the German name of my birthplace as his stage name though.

What I would do for me or my partner to have a job that allows us to just move to whatever part of the world seems attractive! I lived in the countryside slightly southwest of Kyoto and northwest of Kobe for a few years and absolutely loved i…

Retraining the brain is the idea behind the only successful therapy thus far. It's an incredible amount of labour and time and the results aren't dramatic, but it's better than nothing. I'm glad they're making progress. I'm a longtime sufferer and h…

If we're gonna go there, then these are the reasons to visit Montreal: 1) ladies 2) food ... 875) records :D
-
Montreal used to be amazing for records, but that was a few years ago. I used to spend my non-existent funds as a student on records and then when I moved back to Ottawa I used to drive to Montreal for shows and to visit friends and always came home…

Inexplicably, a super clean gatefold 1st press of Baris Manco's "2023" right here in Poland.

$275 for Rayne at the Waxidermy Haiti auction.

Though this sort of thing must be excruciating to watch, good on YouTube for keeping it up. Expose these cockroaches to the light and let the world judge them harshly. Revolting. Absolutely no excuse, and of course the Syrian government is already p…

I ride for this ridiculous record. That's the way it is, by golly!

All these cuts are great. I'm gonna break the English language streak though, just 'cause.

I live in Poland and named myself after my favourite local culinary combo.

Supraphon also did some cool releases of other east European countries' groups. Like the aforementioned SBB record. I have a Sarolta Zalatnay LP with Skorpio backing her on one side and a Czech studio orchestra on the other that's cool, too. There a…

Yes, lots of good Supraphon beat stuff on 45. I see very little of it here, though, so my holdings are feeble... and so is my knowledge. :(
-
My system is super loose and idiosyncratic, where there are some major divisions by genre, where genre is clearly enough defined, but then I also have major divisions by region. Being Polish, I definitely like giving my Polish records a good …

I am weaker on the Czech stuff than other east Euro stuff, but I still have a bunch filed and love it. Some scattered, incomplete thoughts written in a hurry. The beat stuff is quite strong. The Matadors and George & Beatovens reco…

All I knew about them previously that their sublabel Spiegelei ("fried egg" - with a rad label graphic of a fried egg on a pan) put out some rad Krautrock and acid folk records. German Wikipedia has a pretty exhaustive entry on them, though: …

This strolled into my life for about 95% cheaper than market value:

It's heartbraking to watch these towns swept away by a wave of nasty sludge; more so when they look exactly like the town I lived in and the towns my friends lived in and continue to live in. In fact, Shirakawa, where a friend of mine was living, ha…
