I've only recently got Black Sea, and it's really good. I'm also enjoying that there's a large number of XTC albums for me to discover.

That's gorgeous

Tempting offer

I'm definitely interested, Pony Express is one of my favourite albums. Wasn't ever expecting new music from them.

I think you might have finally gone mad. It's been coming for a while, but now it's here. Good work!

That gave me a well-needed laugh. Thanks!

I need to investigate that - thanks

I misread one as 'help I'm a squid', which wasn't nearly as good

That looks very Ravilious, lovely

There's almost nothing that I couldn't get again if I really really wanted it, and had the spare cash. Sometimes just hearing something is nice, I can just find it on YouTube and play it, and that's enough, I don't need to add to the towers of CDs. Or vinyl, which is still growing for some reason.

I've definitely factored that in, but I've some semi-obscure stuff that's probably out of print that would be awkward to get again that I'm holding on to. The kind of thing that came out in the '90s, got reviewed in Uncut, and disappeared. Maybe everybody has a copy of 'slider' by Bruce Kaphan?

Having just had to move unexpectedly over Xmas - thanks landlord! - this resonates, Oxfam had hundreds of CDs from me, and hundreds of books. I could've sold them for a few quid each on eBay, but it would have taken months. I still have hundreds of CDs I'll likely never play again. But which?
