classic selection box...

not very festive, but class

You know, Grouchland, I don't understand the kids of today: You've listened to the Grinderman record hundreds of times; it's positioned prominently within your albums of the decade - yet you never owned it, until now?

Similarly, with Embryonic, I bought it (after growing tired of The Flaming Lips) because you touted it - yet you never owned it, until now?

It's so bewildered that my head feels as if it's spent a few days wedged inside Morrissey's heavily organic arse.

Anyway, I too received two CDs for Yule; thankfully - the only way Moochoo can endure it - I hadn't listened to downloads of them first:

"Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age" by Broadcast and focus Group

"Waiting for You" by King Midas Sound"

Whilst 2009 has seen me stream a few records (for the first time ever) on Spotify, I'm still prepared to bankrupt myself for that orgasmic aroma of fresh CD inlay and that magical first spin on the stereo; there's something extra bed-wettingly thrilling about someone else buying cds for me - ripping off the wrapping paper to reveal a beautiful cover. May the fiery fiends of hell devour my cold carcass so long as I can get my mitts on compact discs.

Anyway, Moochoo meanderings aside, both records sound really good, but I favour Kevin Martin's King Midas Sound thus far.

ha ha; its good to know there are still some out there keeping the faith with late phase capitalism, and its insistance on the fetishisation of objects...well done moochoo

myself, never got much of a rush out of buying compact disc...guess its an age thing, so if i do need that endorphine rush that comes of buying useless things (in the oscar wilde sense, obs) i have to go for big fat sexy vynal...they sound better too

I prefer the posts you submit after you've had a few swallies, H.  I understand them more than your sober musings like that above.
 
Go on - have a beer...

Crikey, HMV is a bit **** innit? Didn't have Broadcast & The Focus Group, any Sublime Frequencies, nothing Zorn-affiliated, not evening Bitte bloody Orca or, and this is perhaps their most heinous crime... NO ORNETTE COLEMAN?!?!!! terrible terrible shop. Settled with Tres Tres Fort by Staff Benda Bilili, as it happened to be the first thing I wanted that I could find and wasn't a stupid price, also pushy people behind me waiting to see Avatar (it was pretty good). Would've checked the one in Chapelfield out as well but didn't wanna make everyone trudge through the city.

MAJOR RETAILERS ARE ****.

Got a couple of bits in Circular Sound today that I've had downloaded for ages and had been meaning to pick up on cd...
