Still buying lots of stuff. Mostly from shops and not gonna lie,
living in Tokyo makes buying stuff a whole lot more fun and
interesting. I can get to probably 40 record shops within 25 minutes
by train from home. Occasionally if I can find something new
on Amazon with a big price difference I'll cop there. But anything
I'd ever want can be found at any number of used shops throughout
the city. Not having enough money to buy what I want is the only
problem...

NEW:

-Milton Nascimento/Lo Borges 'Clube da Esquina'
-Bobby Hamilton Unlimited Quartet 'Dream Queen'
^^^^^^^^^this is cold-blooded modal spiritual jazz...easily one of my best jazz purchases in the past few years.

-Jim Sullivan 'U.F.O.'
-John Maus 'We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves'
-Hilton Felton 'A Man For All Reasons'
