Couldn't attend, giant ass exam on Monday that covers some neuro, psychiatry, and OB/GYN and I'm currently locking myself in a library.

Oh shit, that's today. I just got back from vacation at 230 in the morning last night and have so much to do around the apt (and taxes). Hope I have the time and energy to get to Amoeba.

🤤

😢 😢 😢

I miss Amoeba. Half my record collection is from there. I even have a bag of theirs hanging on my wall.

I was, but then after a curry last night and a rather out-of-character bout of insomnia I decided to jump in my car and queue up from 6.30am at a little record shop in Winchester. Picked up everything I wanted (and mentioned above) and a couple of extra things that caught my eye over the last few days:

First time I’ve ever bothered going early doors, and glad I did. Was 10th in, by the time I left the shop at 8.20 the shelves were almost bare, aside for copies of Trout Mask Replica and some Britpop gubbins.

Might show up to a shop, but no hard plans.

It does feel like a bit of an effort sometimes but to be honest, I generally love the day and the vibe is usually very good no matter where you go. Might bump into you in a Q somewhere.

Yep, I’ve put that down on my Eel Pie wishlist too - hopefully if we both have K&P will get it in.

Elsewhere:

Alice Clark - S/T
Griot Galaxy - Kins
Edy Star - Sweet Edy
The Studio One Showcase Boxset (another Soul Jazz goodie)
Johnny Osbourne - Nightfall
Some Roots Radics dub LP I forget the name of (12 inches of dub or summit like that?)

Honestly though RSD selections were about 98% cack - very tempted to give the day itself a miss again and wait a few weeks after once the prices start to tumble. But knowing me I’ll head up West (or to Twickenham) and pick ‘em all up.

With the release of the 2019 RSD list, I was wondering what is getting you excited.
