2024 Music Purchases - CD Edition
December: 3

I bought 120 CDs this year, which is about 80 fewer than usual. $1NZ = $0.54US atm, which suuuuucks 😭 Plus shipping is often more than the CD, I just can't justify the cost 😩

2024 Music Purchases Vinyl Edition
December: 1

The year ends with a bit of a whimper, only 1 record this month 😅

I bought 47 LPs and 5 singles this year, which is a pretty good effort considering that my price threshold is relatively low.

I don't drink, but I'm still a big enough Def Leppard fan that I got a bottle of their Gin for Christmas 😀 Have been wanting this for ages. Could never find it here in New Zealand, but apparently my sister has better Google skills than me 🙃

It's Christmas Eve so, as I do every year, it's time to post the best Christmas song.

An alternative take on the Wise Men visiting a certain baby...

So I can't technically do a #SpotifyWrapped since I don't stream music, but I do have a last.fm account that tracks what I play😎
I like that my Top 5 artists has both Nile and Stryper on it😂
Also nice to see Dark Oath slip into the Top 5 Songs there (check them out if you like Symphonic Death Metal)

Easily my favourite Funeral Doom song. The intro is so beautiful 🥺

Body Count have a metal version of an old Ice-T song on their new album, and it is excellent.

If you see this post a concert pic you took

Paul Di'Anno doing an Iron Maiden set in 2012
November 11, 2024 at 7:49 AM
Five bands I've seen five times? Hell, there's only one local band (Bulletbelt) I've seen 5 times...

I've seen Iron Maiden five times, if I can count the Maiden-only sets by Blaze Bayley and Paul Di'Anno?

Every tour an international band brings to Aotearoa New Zealand is precious 🙃😄

I have no idea what Insect Inside are like, but the record shop clearly doesn't want it anymore, so I'll give it a home 😂
