NATHAN BARLEY 

Peace and fucking; believe.
 
Also, House of Fools.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Possibly the weirdest, most amazingly ridiculous thing I've ever seen (from about 10-12 years ago, it's a fake low budget 80s show based on fake horror books by a Stephen King-esque writer).

You people that bought this are the cancer that is killing the record "industry". You should feel bad, but if you have $35 to spend on a 7", what does it matter to you if records are becoming too overpriced?

It's finally done...

My complete Near Mint collection.

It's funny how tapes started to make a comeback as a cheaper, quick turnaround alternative, usually priced at $1-5, and now they're working their way up to $8. In a year or two they'll be $15-20 and a bunch of the original tape labels will all be complaining that they can't get their tapes manufactured no more cause every other label jumped on the tape wagon too.
