It was my 40th yesterday (how the fuck did that happen?
) and, thanks to a combination of a well compiled birthday list (yes, I am an only child before anyone asks!), a brilliant girlfriend and very generous friends and family, I now have in my possession all of the following (all on vinyl of course!):-
Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Big Moon Ritual
Mogwai - The Hawk Is Howling
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (deluxe remaster)
Simon Price - Kandodo
Eternal Tapestry - Dawn in 2 Dimensions
White Mana - S/T
Sun Araw, M Geddes Gengras & The Congos
Augustus Pablo - This is...
Brian Jonestown Massacre - Aufheben
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl (remaster)
The Flaming Lips - Heady Fwends
Cian Ciaran - Outside In
Not a bad haul all in all.... I should turn 40 more often!
Currently listening to them one by one through my new headphones and typing this on my new I-pad. I truly have been spoilt rotten. Got to take advantage before the baby arrives in January
