I copped the only albums I wanted...The Nas and the Prince.
Picked up the John Coltrane "My Favorite Things" 45 purely out of impulse...smh.
Truly used some teamwork this year with my daughter and her friends. They stayed in the 2 1/2 hour long line at Criminal, and as soon as she got in, I was on the phone like "Do you see the Prince? Grab it! Do you see the RTJ? Grab that for my homie! I'll meet you at the door with a credit card! I got your homies Fleet Foxes record already, so don't look for that!"
Usually there's only a handful of things, but this year there was a good amount. Only was able to get a few day of, but, there's a great indie shop in the States I was able to order from the day after and have shipped, and they all arrived yesterday. What I got, and fully recommend others checking out:
- Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio "Live at KEXP" (the cover of "Move on Up" is excellent, pretty much the reason I bought this) - Tim Armstrong "A Poet's Life" (1st time on vinyl, his solo record with The Aggrolites as his band) - Other Side of Sun Records Vol. 2 comp - Run The Jewels box (splurge of the day, and unfortunately overpaid for was it was ....) - Los Sospechos "Postales" soundtrack (re-issue, I actually won this on IG) - Dap-Kings "Look Closer Instrumentals" - Baby Huey re-issue with instrumentals - Eli Paperboy Reed & The High and Mighty Brass Band Live - The Kills Live - Dilla Ruff Draft re-issue - Lyrics Born Later That Day re-issue

Me and homie have an instagram page (@thirtythree.three) where we show nothing but records. I posted my RSD purchases, but he never went into detail what all was in that box. Killa Mike showed up at one of the stores did and signed stuff for those who bought it from that particular store.
Really mad I didnt get the RATM jawn...like, sick about it.

It is obviously a unique piece and I'm a fan so glad to get the 12", but, in the long run not too worried about the alternate Marvel art, the slip mat is really nice, but again a bit of a novelty. Not mad about it, but my local shop said they weren't going to get it, so I bought it somewhere else, and then the following week my shop called to say they did get it, and it was $25 less then wait I paid. So glad to have it, but wish I got it for $25 less! 6 of the albums all arrived together yesterday, so looking forward to new tunes for the next while!
