New additions for January including one of my top 5 albums...

Early in the month, I had ordered some records to fill up some holes in the collection (fairly new to collecting and it being a bit challenging, I've been looking at different ways people seek out the more obscure stuff).

Now, obviously RTJ isn't exactly obscure but they needed to be in my collection. As I've mentioned before, it's crazy how different an album hits when listened in order. RTJ4 is a gem and one I will be going back to a lot. Waiting on RTJ3 now...

Atarashi Gakko is something I ordered directly from their website. I was mostly familiar with Tokyo Calling and YT had recently suggested the song Omakase, which features the record at the beginning of the music video so that made me look it up. Can only be ordered from their website, it arrived today so I haven't listened yet.

Filled up the holes in my Caravan Palace collection. I'm still missing an album or two but holy crap... you can clearly see the band's progression with every album.

Finally, an album I swore I would own. You can often say 'these are my favorite albums' without quite being able to pick a top3/5. While I can't say for sure what the rest of my Top 5 is, this one is easily top 5 material: Lovage, Music to Make Love To Your Old Lady By. A collaboration and not an actual band so there nothing more from Lovage but... I have no words how awesome this album is. It arrived today too and I couldn't be happier to finally have it.

Lots of pretty records lately too...
