Spent too much money on records this month thread

[adamlikesmusic]

I bought $12 worth of CDs from Wardogs.

And I bought the Let Me Run 12"+7", and Fake Problems LP. Came out to like $27 I think.

My spending has gone down. Not too much coming out that I really feel I want to buy.

On the bright side, I had set a savings goal for starting next school year, and I've already hit it. Pretty happy about it, since it's a pretty large chunk of cash, and I never thought I'd reach my goal

[goraiders]

yeah i only bought let me run 12" and Fake Problems

and a shotgunator

[pibbals]

I actually haven't spent all that much. Made a No Idea order I've been meaning to make for a while and just made an order of a bunch of AM! 7"s and the 180 gram RAR.

The only other things I've ordered are an Asian Man order of mostly Screeching Weasel/The Queers stuff and I ordered a Get Up Kids reissue from interpunk.

Less than $150, not too bad for one month.

[danthemjfan23]

i hardly bought ANYTHING this month. i've spent less than $100 since the beginning of december, actually.

and this past week, i totally cleaned out my radio station's vault. i grabbed over 150 records, for free. TONS of great old stuff, from Bob Dylan to Louis Armstrong, the Sex Pistols to the Smiths, just a bunch of great stuff. and, like i said, the best part is it was all for free.

i'm gonna have so much listening to do, which should keep my spending down even more. it's a win-win-win.

[morgan]

spent way too much the past month on vinyl.

probably will have to sell some soon to recover from it.

[Guest drahtuos]

raises hand. i've been really bad this month, i'm not gonna list out everything, but rest assured it's ridiculous.

[xlovecolouredx]

2008 is the year which i paid tax for import vinyl in 60% of vinyl value.

that's my curse and why i can't buy any record now....

Free tax for imported vinyl!

yeah.

i don't wanna be a good citizen by this way....

Hey Juan - where did you get that Helms Alee 12" from? I figured those would be long gone by now.

If you ordered it from Rome Plow, it might take a little while. It's worth it, though.

A fellow VCer was gracious enough to hook me up. I gave up on Rome Plow. I sent Adam emails and no reponse. One actually got kicked back as non-deliverable.

[thedavidescapeplan]

I've spent way too much on records this month. Next month I plan to slow down a bit.

[cadetapplesauce]

spent a lot of money i don't have.

I think I'm one of the few that actually received an order from Rome Plow. Adam seems to have flaked out on a lot of people.

sucks, because his releases looked great.

[kurtz]

I spend too much on records every month.

I just try not to think about it.

[steviewonderbread]

Spent at least $300 in the last 50 days...top ramen yay.

[cadetapplesauce]

in the past couple weeks i've spent more than $100 on records. i have no job, so i'm pretty much flat broke right now.

[jimmythescumbag]

Goddamn financial aid...I love it, but at the same time it makes me realize that I have no control over my vinyl spending...oh well I guess.

On the plus side, my Vindictives collection is getting ever so closer to completion. I am going to work on the comps and that should be it, as I highly doubt I am willing to hunt down test presses, and even if I were, they would probably be too rich for my blood.

With me every month lately it's like the Cubs every year. Maybe next month I'll buy less... Nah!

Between new releases and represses alone I get into enough trouble. Plus my brother finds and points out everything I missed. It's all his fault, really.
