Latest Dig


I was out digging through some crates yesterday, had (have) a cold and a fever but I couldn’t stay cooped up at home, had to go out and do something. I picked up 10 vinyls, 4 which are in the photo above. We have some US psychedelia, French chanson, Russian trad jazz (with crazy synths in a couple of the tunes!), UK fusion and of course the soundtrack to Carl Sagan’s excellent tv series Cosmos; plus a couple others. I did have to go through 25-30 crates to find these ones tho, it was pretty picked through already, but all in all a pretty decent dig in the end.

My 10 Most Valuable Hip-Hop Vinyls

Why did I do the list? Well there was a post on facebook about the prices on certain “old” hiphop releases and I thought I’d just check mine to see if anything was worth anything.

Anyways…

This was based on the median of the last 10 sales on Discogs. If I took the ones that has gone for the highest price (but with a lower median) the list would look a little different.

Also, this is just based on the vinyls I’ve added there so far, so there might be some more surprises down the line. I was surprised that a couple in my collection didn’t make the list, but hey, that just shows you what I know… Although the biggest surprise so far was the Sherlock LP & 12” I have to say, I had no idea they were worth that kind of money, being Swedish hiphop and all…

2011 – Another Year Passed

We’re a couple of days into the new year now and I thought I’d put together a short (probably going to be long) photo/music year in review.

Yup, it got quite long so I split it into several pages, you’ll find the page links just under the title on all the pages as well as down at the bottom. Unfortunately it placed itself below all the sharing and related posts stuff down there; I wasn’t able to change it’s position, shouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience though.

New Years Eve

Crazy amounts of snow and cold as… was the keywords. I joined a couple of good friends out on the countryside for new years, and we had a really good evening.

Metermaids – Bad Things ft. Sage Francis & B. Dolan (magOwl Remix Extended)

This version has a portion of a contrasting section I was working on tacked onto the end. I didn’t have time to make it work properly before the deadline but I’ll most likely make it into it’s own song eventually as I quite like it.
If you wanna listen to the version I submitted and all the other entries you can do that here.
Also I won’t make this one downloadable as per clear instructions :) Go to the SFR site and check out Metermaids album.
