Post your last purchase XI

Not arrived yet. Can't wait..

I accidentally put the wrong address for the Kid A from Amazon though, and missed the 30 minute changes to order deadline. Bummer.

Got it. Well, report back with findings

 

[Perrumpo]

Yeah that's my plan too. I bought a record player few days ago (clicky) so I'm slowly going through my favourite albums getting them on vinyl. Top of the list is Kid A. Going to be expensive but definitely definitely worth it.

Congrats on the turntable

I got an ION USB turntable for Christmas '08, and it was a total surprise! I don't know why I never thought to ask for one. I guess I always thought they were too expensive.

So far, I've been collecting some '08 and '09 albums that I feel are particularly-good candidates for vinyl, which mainly means laid-back stuff like Fleet Foxes, Sigur Rós, The New Pornographers, Camera Obscura, Wilco. But some that are more fun, too, like MGMT, Beck, Arcade Fire. I'd love to get some Beatles albums, too!

Could you link to the table you have?

Sure, it's this one.

Comes with software for importing vinyl to mp3. It's also portable. Comes with it's own hard cover and takes batteries so that you don't have to take the power cord along.

A subscription to pandora (for more than 40 hours a month and no ads).

Vinyl buying spree...

 

[Perrumpo]

Modern Guilt was certainly made for vinyl. Is that In Rainbows two heavy-guage vinyls like the discbox? It sounds so great.

Having used both I prefer Pandora. Check it out, you can sign up for free (you just get ads and are limited to 40 hours per month).

Probably my favourite Beck album.

Yeah it's double LP. Annoying its 45rpm rather than 33rpm as to change it I have to remove the platter from my turntable. Oh well.

Oh, that sucks. I just flip a switch on mine. The only annoying thing for me is that, of course, it only has two or three tracks per side, which means a lot of flipping and changing. I supposed we're spoiled by digital music.

Finally ordered a legitimate Applecare plan from Smalldog. Too bad the money I spent for one off ebay back in February 09 was lost because of a scummy seller.

This time I made sure with Apple that Smalldog is a legitimate Apple Certified Reseller.

I would have saved money going with full price from Apple to begin with (stupid ebay scam).

The National album

I suspect you already have Boxer? It's an incredible album.

 

[smwatson]

Alligator's their best IMO. Boxer vinyl is hard to find anorl.

 

[Perrumpo]

I'm with you on that one. But I don't think that album would be the best on vinyl. His voice is very deep, and those songs are quite heavy on vocals.

iPod Touch 64G

I had to get a 64G version of the iPod Touch. My 32 G iPod Touch has run out of space... Now I can store lots of podcasts along with my music collection in one unit and marry it with my car's nav/audio via bluetooth.

 

[63dot]

just got this in the mail yesterday. Sweet phone, and i didn't realize it has an 8.1MP camera. I already upgraded the camera drivers, de-branded it and installed some flash menus.

Also, we got another kitten a few days ago. Now we have 3 cats. NO MORE!!!

don't care about the rest, really, but the cat is one of the better things i have seen on this thread

way to go

Beats By Dre

These arrived today off eBay, they sound pretty good so far but probably not worth the €180 price tag they have in Ireland but thanks to eBay they were only €115 so don't feel to hard done by if i had payed full price for them on the Apple Store

Bayonetta...

I preordered it so was supposed to get a bonus with it but they haven't had the delivery in yet so will have to go back another day.

 

[spencers]

Ordered a MCE remote for my Acer Revo XBMC box. I've yet to figure out all the customization that little thing can do!
