Just a perfect lineup of posts 😅
Screenshot of two posts. First post: "Neighbors three doors down blasting death metal. Sounds like it's in my yard. Here's to more considerate neighbors in 2025. FML" Second Post: "The nice thing about those fucking fireworks is that no one complains about death metal at full volume in the middle of the night."

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 😩

#RawheadRexx; #EnuffZnuff; #EdgeOfSanity
The 3 CDs mentioned in the post.

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 🙃
A bottle of Def Leppard Gin. A clear bottle, with the triangular band logo in the middle, the image of a leaping Leopard, and the brand name "Animal". The bottle is flanked on either side by Def Leppard box sets showing the band and the cover to the album Hysteria.

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)
Screenshot of my Top 5 most listened to artists this year according to LastFM. A layout of 5 squares, each with a band photo in it. They are, in order: Nile, Judas Priest, Stryper, Sebastian Bach, and Morbid Saint. Screenshot of my Top 5 most listened to tracks, according to LastFM. A list of songs, with the relevant album cover to the left. The songs are: Rise From The Ashes by Morbid Saint; Naqada II Enter the Golden Age by Nile; Gold I (Dawn of Time) by Dark Oath; To Strike with Secret Fang by Nile; Overlords of the Black Earth by Nile.

I should be buying way more than this but shipping to NZ is just horrific these day 😭

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 😂

Today I framed and hung my She-Ra painting by @tessfowler.bsky.social. Thank you so much Tess, she's so awesome 🥰
3 framed pictures above a window. On the left, a pen drawing of Hawkman (bare chested barbarian guy with wings) by Mike DeCarlo. Middle picture is a watercolour bust of She-Ra (young woman, long blonde hair, gold headdress, red cloak, and sword) by Tess Fowler Gutierrez. On the right, greyscale marker headshot of Jeannette (elegant woman with long curly hair) by Nicola Scott.

John Rogers got there first 😉 Blue Beetle #16. Great joke 😃
Comic page. Eclipso (goth-looking woman) standing over a baby in a crib. The room is on fire. Has the credits for the comic, and the title Total Eclipso: The Heart

Amaranthe setlist acquired 😎
A knob fell off the bass guitar mid-song near the end of the gig. Found it on the floor and gave it to the guitar tech after the show, he gave me this off his desk in return 😄
Sheet of paper with the setlist from the show. Laid on top of the tour shirt- the name Amaranthe on top, a weird picture of a head on the right, and the text "Australia & New Zealand Tour 2024 below it.

Flew to Auckland to see Amaranthe in concert tonight. My hotel room is a long way up 🫨
View from my hotel room, 16 floors up. A bunch of office and apartment buildings. There's a tennis court on top of a building, and a giant chess board on another.

The new Bolt Thrower tape box set. The printing on the cassettes is really cool. An early b'day present from a friend that knows me too well 😄
On the left side: 4 tape cases in a foam holder. On the right side: the 4 cassette tapes laid out on the box lid, with the Bolt Thrower logo on it.
