On track to buy more this month than any other! Finding so much stuff after the drought.... But....

I'm choosing not to include my vinyl score from a yard sale today: 75 albums for $10.

We are keeping more than 60 of them after going through them tonight. Noticed on the box they said $1 each. Had a mix of country, jazz, pop, comedy, and rock.

Extremely pleased.

Sounds like a heck of a deal.

Can you tell me what rock/metal vinyls in the lot were?

Flipped through the box today, here is what I remember (rock/metal was a small section):
Doors - Strange Days
Iron Butterfly - In-a-gadda-da-vida
Strawberry Alarmclock - Incense and Peppermints
Switched on Bach
Vaughn Meader The First Family
Big Chill Soundtrack
Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass
Peaches and Herb
Bill Cosby
George Carlin (7 words album)

Some real classic stuff in there. Was staying at my parents so that was the entertainment for the evening: pulling out record after record to my parents delight remembering the songs.

I wish the last collection I bought was in this good of shape. It had lots of metal including Black Sabbath, ACDC, Judas Priest, Led Zepplin, Rush, and a ton (110 albums for $13). Sucky part was the sleeves are all in rough to good shape. Records themselves were just a little dirty.

Know how you feel. I got some imported AC/DC albums and the covers were absolutely horrible.

Got the new Sonata Arctica and Firewind albums pre ordered. Comes with a shirt for both of em so that's awesome. This month is a awesome music month.

A friend turned me on to Discogs so I'm using it to catalog my record collection. You can view it here: http://www.discogs.com/collection?user=skeletorspimpcane

I've only finished the small box I recently purchased along with a few others I had lying around or recently purchased. Still have about 100 more to go. I'd also like to do my CD collection at some poin, but it's kinda tedious.

Heh, I've been meaning to do that for a while, but it's a seriously daunting task, so I keep putting it off (much like I keep putting off the reorganization that my collection also badly needs). I used to keep an Access database(!) of my collection, but I lost track of it several years ago and now it's way out of date.

One thing I like about Discogs is that you can usually search on the UPC (assuming that whoever entered the info included it), which is a lot quicker for finding a specific version of a CD than trying to drill down through a list. But I have already, in the few that I have tried to enter, encountered a couple of titles that weren't on the site at all. When you have to create a whole new entry, it becomes time consuming fast.

I like getting Google Music updates about what albums are $3.99 this week... Only to find out I have most of them! But this week is different because M83 - Hurry Up We're Dreaming is on there so I may break down and buy it.

Also, I have to admit I'm addicted to Spotify. I've been using the 30 day trial to the fullest by checking out a buch of artist I've been wanting to hear. Not sure I'll pay for it when the time comes since I still buy a bunch of physical media...

I've been paying for Spotify since last fall. The big reason that I find it worth it is the mobile app. I always had trouble with running out of space on my phone before, now I barely keep any music on it. It's nice having pretty much anything that I want to listen to available at any time, no matter where I am. The only downside is that if you have a limited data plan, you can end up burning through it fast.

Picked up another 40 records from an estate sale today. Hope to add them to my Discogs before the weekend. Also may start organizing them in groups or lots as I pick them up.

Anyhow, it was advertised as 2000 records. Emailed the organizer of the sale, she said all records $0.25 each. Had. To. Go.

Got there about 10 minutes early, 2 guys were already there picking at the records. One was really nice, the other was a butthole to the sale organizer. He also happened to pick a stack of great stuff like the Star Wars soundtrack... for $0.25.

There were probably as many records as advertised, but half were 45s with and without sleeves. Another sizeable section were the terrible compilations. Luckily the nice guy was in to these. That left me to pick up some soundtracks, rock, country, and a ton of comedy albums. Stuff from Dangerfield to Rickles and Cosby.

Seller was extremely nice, wish I'd bought more...

All I have to say is WOW! I would go nuts with a sale like that. As for Discogs how do you like it? I have an account but I never really used it, but I might start soon. Congrats on the new music!

Thanks! I've only used it a little and find it easy to get in the zone and add records while watching tv. Still have a big box to go... So I'm kinda stalling.

I made a folder with most of my estate sale finds from Wednesday. A few weren't in the database (I'm too lazy to create a record) and 4 were for a friend.

Problem is, it doesn't let anyone but me see them... Hmmm

GoAztecs, I'm jealous of your Goodwill scores. I'm lucky to find a single record worth purchasing there or any thrift shop.

Did get about 15 at a yard sale last week: Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Beatles, Alice Cooper...

Husband and wife had bought a collection from a DJ in Springfield, MO of 10,000 records. Purchased for $500 on one condition: if there were any signed records, they were to send them back.

Of course they found about 50 including a Doors 45... Signed and dated by Jim Morrison.

@Commandercody I have to say I am pretty lucky to live around a really good Goodwill store. The only drawback is there a bunch of folks who like to resell on eBay. The one odd thing is that they haven't had any CDs this year. As for the other thrifts one of the managers is really cool and if I find any LPs at his store he asks if I looked hard enough and tells me what he got in and what I should look for.

That husband and wife got one hell of a deal, and I'm impressed that they were true to their word about sending back the signed stuff. I don't think many would do that today

Adding my June purchases finally:

Some of you guys remind me of my youth. In high school and college, I could average a dozen CDs a week easy. Eventually I kind of got to a point where I had already bought everything from the '60s and '70s that I wanted to hear, and my purchasing fell way off.

The new Fiona Apple is amazing though, easily the best thing I've heard so far this year.

Got Serj Tankian's new CD today for $7, great stuff, Still wish system would make an album, i miss daron and serj together.

It is really great. Another album that is pleasantly surprising is "Oceania" from Smashing Pumpkins. Best SP album since Mellon Collie, IMO.

I also really like Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds even though that is from 2011. Best "Oasis" album since Morning Glory, IMO.

I can't wait to hear the new Gaslight Anthem album - that's the next one I'm getting.

Yeah I like that a lot too, certainly way better than Liam's new band. My favorites from 2011 were the Decemberists and Wild Flag (Carrie Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney and Mary Timony from Helium), also the Foo Fighters album from last year was great, and Arctic Monkeys.

Although I have to admit being a major fan of some of the later Oasis albums like Be Here Now and Don't Believe the Truth.

I'll have to check out the new Pumpkins, hadn't heard much about it yet.
