The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 2)

I was thinking of putting this in the pop tunes thread, but there’s just too much substance in it. My favourite song of 2021 - Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen - Like I Used to.

Fuck me… That track is good.

Just had a quick trip to University of Discogs. Had no idea that series existed, thanks. A few purchases coming up.

It’s deadly. I got onto it when Cerys Matthews played a cover of Popcorn by Omar Khorshid, an Egyptian musician, on her Sunday morning show.

You might also like this. The Mr Bongos Record Club compilations are well worth checking out.

I certainly do… Fantastic. Thanks, although my bank balance will be less grateful…

Did not know of MBRC. Sort of like Finders Keepers, it seems.

I go and look at the Honest Jon’s website and I get vertigo, of various kinds. Any or all of these items could be wonderful…

The pity about it is that since Brexit buying records in From the Uk has become very expensive and very slow.

Yes. Ditto, largely, for books and for buying game online in the winter. While I can get books sent to friends in Liverpool, for later collection, not an option for food items, obviously.

ParcelMotel had become a real middle-aged giveaway…

Parcel Motel stopped with the UK shipments though didn’t it?

This is up the road (ten minutes away from me) in Jonesborough. A few colleagues have used it for stuff from UK. €3.50 per pickup.

If either yourself or @Fagan_ODowd are ever stuck, give me a shout and I can collect from there.
