  1. Incredible first quarter of 2024 for emo, IMO.  In addition to the ones above, you have Glass Beach, Stay Inside, Gulfer, the new Friko album Where we've been, Where we go from here | Friko (bandcamp.com), new Carpool and Barely Civil on 3/22, and I've been really digging this Get Well, Kid album (It All Goes Away | Get Well, Kid (bandcamp.com)).

  3. I was all set to make a joke about how they finally pressed “Little Joe Sure Can Sing”, the pop vocal album by Joe Pesci, and then I looked up the price for the original pressings and maybe there’s a market after all. 
     

    Nothing here for me unless I can get my hands on one of the Hips and Makers represses (I have OP, but the bonus materials sound cool).

  5. Most of what I pick up anymore is new releases/new reissues.  I've pretty much plateaued with my older records, as I have most of what I want to have and am down to maybe 10-15 records on my Wantlist on discogs that I'm pretty convinced I will never own because they are either too expensive or too rare, or are only available overseas and I can't quite bring myself to pay overseas shipping for them (or some combination of those).  I do still really like collecting, but it's pretty rare anymore for me to be excited about a find in a record store - I used to travel for work and went to a lot of records stores when I traveled, so I've been to enough places (and really good stores) that I was able to find a lot of what I wanted over the years, but I also know that the things I still want I'm probably not just going to stumble across at one of my local stores in St. Louis (though there's plenty of fine stores).  I do still really enjoy "THE HOBBY" although I have cut back on buying, and have pretty much sold off my variants (like others have said) except for a couple of certain things.  It's probably irresponsible financially given my life with two kids and a wife who limit what I can put on the turntable unless they are all out of the house, but I figure I need a hobby of some kind and this is as good as any because I'm still pretty passionate about music and like to support the artists I like.  I'm probably due for purge I keep putting off.

     

    As far as purchases in the last year, it's been things I'm fairly certain no one here cares much about but have been on my Wantlist for ages and I finally found at a good price, like Strange Bird by Augie March, Strange As We Are by Campfire OK, and Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits, and then reissues of things I didn't think I'd ever own on vinyl - The Frames reissues, Before These Crowded Streets, and Razia's Shadow by Forgive Durden.
