I buy a lot of vinyl, and I buy a lot of it second-hand from TradeMe, New Zealand's answer to eBay. (I also buy books and consumer electronics.) In the interests of posterity, as well as an audit of sorts, here is this month's haul [what, did you think I was gonna link them all up?]:

yikes.
Some notes: I already have a copy of PKD's "Eye In the Sky". I'm not sure why I didn't realise this before I bid $16.50 for it. The David Sylvian "Brilliant trees", Virgin Prunes "If I Die I Die" and FELA KUTI "Zombie" LP I have downloaded as mp3, but normally I only double-buy mp3 stuff on vinyl when it's for DJing. Sylvian and Prunes don't fall into this category, however. Tim Buckley "Greetings from L.A." and Bob Dylan "Nashville Skyline" LP I used to have on CD, before I was robbed a few years ago. The Pere Ubu "Art of Walking" is my third copy of the LP - hopefully this one won't suffer from the manufacturing fault the first two did. The Associates "Wild and Lonely" is/was a waste of money (1990!). The Stanislaw Lem "Solaris" paperback is the post George Clooney remake edition and so loses out on hip points for that. The Car Crash Set "No Accident" LP (punchy, solid NZ post-punk/new-wave) is almost impossible to get, especially in this condition, and was an absolute steal at $8, particularly since the seller included a CDR copy of the LP, with a bunch of other rare tracks, at no extra cost. McCoy Tyner's "Enlightenment" 2LP is some of the greatest post-Coltrane jazz I have ever heard. What else. Mudhoney's first LP is their best, easy, although their recent (2000+) work is very cool. The last time I heard Megadeth's "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying" was in 1989, so I'm looking forward to that one arriving. Teenage Fanclub can not put a foot wrong with me (if you ignore their stink later output). I've been waiting to find a Cardiacs LP (any LP, any tape, any CD, anything at all, any music shop employee who's heard of them, any catalogue, any website fer fuck's sake) since being bowled over by their track "Is This the Life?" on the CD88 Indie Top Twenty compilation I bought about 15 years ago.
