what have you been listening to lately?
HBS, Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Hater.
My friend played me some songs by a band called Future Of The Left too, they were pretty good! I'm gonna ask for CDs of HBS' album, Them Crooked Vultures' album and Brotherhood Of Electric by the Wellwater Conspiracy for Christmas. Amazing albums, would recommend. I can't think of anything I don't like about HBS - In Deep Owl, apart from the cymbals at the end of Koda being a bit loud and the intro of Neverone Blues going on a bit long, the rest of the album is perfect o: I love Veritas, it's gotta be my favourite.
And yeah, I'll get that review done, might do another as well because I have this urge to review In Deep Owl actually. Songs For The Deaf was the only one people voted for so I'll get it done at some point

Oh man is it a money sink. It's a lovely money sink though. c:
I got my record player for about £100 off Amazon, and I've lost count of how much I've spent on the records themselves. I just love them. I love how big record collections look on shelves, and I love how big they are. I haven't doon much comparing between CD audio and my records though, for some reason my own record player doesn't play through headphones when I plug them in (I think it treats them as a phone being plugged in with aux which is kinda sad) and the built in speakers aren't the best. I play them sometimes when I'm just milling about in my room, doing other things, then I'm not focusing on the sound quality but more on the fact that I have something playing in the background while I'm on my xbox. There's a really old record player downstairs though, it's probably from the 80s and it has a turntable, a radio and a tape deck, and it's connected to some equally old but still good quality speakers. If I was gonna compare how things sounded I'd use that one
