So… Yeah, I order my record deck and then think ‘I better order some records!’
I head over to Amazons new vinyl area http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vinyl-Albums-Music/b?ie=UTF8&node=520022 and start to browse through the hundreds of albums available. I find a few bands that I know, but the LPs available are ones I have on CD. Most of the stuff here, I start to realise, is bands I’ve never heard of. I start to listen to them, the great thing about MySpace is that nearly every band has a page on it, and on those pages you can usually listen to a few of their songs and over the course of a full day’s browsing, I find 20 bands I have never heard of before that I want and have five on order:
Major Lazer – ‘Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do’ @ http://www.majorlazer.com/
Big Boss Man – ‘Full English Breakfast’ @ http://www.big-boss-man.com/
Cobra Killer – ‘Uppers & Downers’ @ http://www.myspace.com/cobrakiller1
Jaqee – ‘Kokoo Girl’ @ http://www.jaqee.com/
Haushka – ‘Ferndorf’ @ http://www.hauschka-net.de/
Other records I am looking at getting are albums by Holly Golightly, Pete Molinari, The Budos Band, Timber Timbre, Fight Like Apes (who have an good cover of Lightsaber Cocksucking Blues by McKlusky on their MySpace page), Rilo Kiley, Justin Townes Earle, James Yorkston, Hot Hot Heat, Fabienne DelSol, Errors, Them Crooked Vultures, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem and The Beastie Boys.
