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.

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…

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.
