That time of year
Most people who write about music in the interweb like to give their “best of 2007″ around this time of year, but I’m not going to. Instead I’m going to post up a list of all the records I bought in 2007, which turned out to be 100 records exactly! That’s less than half the amount I bought last year, not because there haven’t been as many good records released this year (and anyway I don’t just buy records that came out in the current year), but more likely because I’ve spent a bit of cash on music making hardware which meant less vinyl buying. In total this year I spent 1130.81 Euro on vinyl, who says it’s a dead format eh? Anyway here’s the list:
