Forgive me if this is a redundant thread but I wasn't sure if this transferred or not but I couldn't find it.  Maybe it was in the off topic section.

Just ordered

Fleet Foxes - S/T
Baroness - Blue Record

Had both of these albums forever but desperately wanted the full size artwork more than anything as part of my collection.  These will likely hang on my wall much more than actually be played.

I was thinking about this thread the other day, because I finally got:

Tame Impala - Innerspeaker  :D It's a two-record set and it sure sounded funny when I put it on -- nowhere on the label does it say that it's to be played at 45 RPM.

You'll love having the Fleet Foxes record, Ruckus - it comes with the Sun Giant EP too, at least mine did. It's spent a little time on display up on the mantel too, but once spring rolls around, it gets spun a lot.

I'm glad you finally got the Tame Impala on vinyl.  I know you'd been trying to get your hands on it w/o breaking the bank.  Did you think you had eaten too many pretzels when you played it at 33?

I got an el cheapo reissue so I don't believe it'll come with Sun Giant but I do love the EP

I only buy music on vinyl unless I must have it and there is only a cd release (rare these days).  Good vinyl on a decent TT beats the heck out of any CD  (and yes, the album artwork, liner notes and all other production stuff helps too).

The Fleet Foxes on vinyl is wonderful-- perfect example as to why vinyl kicks butt over cds.
I'm an addict and pick up 5-8 vinyl albums a month.

Just bought the new ones by

The Decemberists
Iron & Wine
Amos Lee
Jayhawks- Tomorrow the Green Grass (reissue)
Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall
Pearl Jam Live
and pre-ordered  Go Go Boots by DBT (although I already managed to get an advance download of the new album from a WONDERFUL mmj forum member).
It's a disease but I don't want to be cured.

Can't wait to say I just bought the new one by MMJ (whenever that get's released).

was some shakin' and some record playin'

Destroyer Kaputt

My album of the year so far.  I know it's only January.
if it falls apart or makes us millionaires

You were right Crispy, Sun Giant did indeed arrive with it.  I figured the $12 price tag was too little for brand new record plus an EP and I didn't recall it saying it came with it.   :)

When I buy vinyl its usually older, used, classic albums, but I couldn't pass up Black Keys' "Rubber Factory"
The wind blew me back, via Chicago, in the middle of the night.

And some other one...can't remember the name...like 29 songs on the damn record...some old guy...starts with an "H"...eh, I didn't really like it yet.  Probably why I don't remember it.

Got these at Ear-X-Tacy on the Louisville trip last weekend.  Thanks to aMD for helping me find the store.
We could.

Nice picks dude!  I love the artwork on Steeple and I would love to get Here's to Taking it Easy on vinyl.

I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

I'm hoping that the new Love Is Hell will be a 12" version instead of 2 10"s.

There's nothing better than going home with a big haul of tunes. Enjoy your new stash Crispy! What are you going to start with (besides a pretzel or two)?

I'm sure the owner of my local record store has put a new kitchen and bathroom in his house thanks to my patronage over the the 15 years. Better to give it to them than to some faceless chainstore though...
At my house, we call them uh-ohs.

Hey, Crisper.  I'm assuming "S/T" means "self-titled"? 

One of my favorite albums.  With all the early forays into psychedlic technology w/P. Floyd, I love the bare, straightforward rock of his first solo effort.  Cry from the Street is probably my favorite track, with a nice solo intro.  Enjoy it loud!

The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.
