Elitist Techno Honky Buys More Records

I got my order from Zion's Gate the other day :

Random Logic - Numrebs EP (Tehnika) (12") 4.99
Premature Wig - Endless Dub (Skor Records) (12") 6.99
Flow.Machine - Class Of '96 (10") 4.99
Robi Uppin - Fade (12") 9.99
Paul Mac - Push Came To Shove (2xLP) 8.99
Soultek - Paradigm (12") 11.99 11.99
Polycubist - Echo Life (Skor Records) (12") 6.00
Sven Väth - Strahlemann Und Söhne (Rmx) (Virgin 9.99
Murcof Utopia Remixes 9.99
Subtotal: 73.92

All good stuff. A few gems. Note Robi Uppin's "Fade" on Driftwood, a label that didn't last long enough to completely satisfy The Lovers. Oh well. Perhaps greatness should take a bow before any hint of weakness surfaces.

If you have questions about any of these releases, hit me up. They're all incredible. Except maybe the "Strahlemann Und Söhne" twelve. I only got it for the Soul Capsule remix, which has this really strange, haunting sound on it. (I like strange. And I like haunting.) Soul Capsule is Thomas Melchior ("Productions") and Peter ("Baby Ford") Adshead. This is straight up Perlon-related goodness.

Also, if you're very familiar with Tehnika, Flow.Machine (Thor of "Aliens Don't Boogie" fame), or Skor Records, give yourself a big fucking pat on the back. You're elite.

'Fuck Ya'll Lookin' At?!?

I've been bad about keeping up with this blog thing that I started.
Oh. Fucking. Well.

I saw Tropic Thunder today. I was laughing so hard tears rolled down my cheeks. And that was before the actual film even started. You'll know what I'm talking about if you see it.

Latest order with juno.uk :
FREUND DER FAMILIE Konig Der Welt EP 12"
PROMPT Evolve 12"
PROMPT Elephant 12"
PROMPT Toucan 12"

Prompt, much?
Again, the shipping charges fucking killed me. I hate having to order from overseas. But who the fuck has these records in the U.S? Anyone...Hello...?

My credit card debt has passed the $15,000 mark. If I were to buy absolutely nothing throughout the next year, not even gas or pay my rent, I still wouldn't be able to pay this off entirely. Is everyone in debt a slave? Or can we dictate our freedom regardless of what we owe? Money certainly gives one more options. Like I can't just get on a plane and fly to Berlin. Well. Actually. I could. I'd pay for it with one of my credit cards, like everything else I buy. Credit limit exceeded? No problem. Get a new card.
