I'm predicting that the topic of this thread and the description will mean that this thread gets its fair share of hits and possibly quite a few more as well. Yes. I'm bored again.

This weekend, I spent a brief time in a music store. While there, I found some amusing records (vinyl) that I bought. This is a list of the (somewhat odd) records I found and bought (at $0.10 Am apiece, who could resist this fine selection?).

Frosty the Snowman by The Peppermint Kandy Kids (comes with a cardboard snow man and a carboard snowy village for him to play in)
Alice in Wonderland Songs (came with an abridged copy of the book o_O)
Switched-on Bach (Essentially, Bach gone techno and synthesizers)
More Folk Songs and Dances of the Ukraine (More for fun than to be strange)
Polkas: Greatest Hits! by Six Fat Dutchmen ( )

I guess people (those who weren't looking for something obscene) should post any music they've obtained recently, and/or comment/poke fun at the previous selection of music.

[Yahtzee]

Never heard of any of those, but I recently bought 'Permission to Land' by the Darkness, and 'Get Born' by Jet. I don't usually buy new music, but this stuff could have come straight out of the 80's.

[Heccubus]

My treasures include Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell", The (International) Noise Conspiracy's "Survival Sickness" and "Mickey Mouse Disco".

I find Jet to be a rather irritating bunch of nonsense. I guess if there was a shred of originality to anything they did I'd feel differently, but...

[Mist]

I hadn't heard of most of these either (Alice in Wonderland, and Bach excluded), but I felt in a silly mood, so I grabbed up the most obscure things I could find. *shrugs*

They're all pretty amusing, but I can't get past the first track of the Frosty record since it's flipping annoyingly, sickeningly sweet, cheerful children singing random songs about snow. How much can anyone say about snow? Apparently, quite a bit.

I'm tempted to abuse a colleague's equipment to burn Frosty to a cd. I will then switch it with my mum's work cd. I'm feeling mischievous today, but I'm not so mean that I'd actually bring this scenario to fruition. She's a masseuse (or is going to school to become one) and plays calming music while she works on her clients. I'm not sure if the Frosty music will calm the patients, put them to sleep, or send them into a homicidal rage. I suspect the latter, and I'm not sure that mum or her client would be as amused as I would be. This is REALLY annoying stuff.

"Permission to Land" is good, buta bit too light sometimes. Has anyone ever heard of The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster? Proper psychobilly swamp metal! I intend to get the vinyl of their last single...

That's how rekkid collectin' should be done!!

i only have 180+ records... none too obscure.

[barend]

My big black disc of vinyl includes works by:
Fad Gadget, David Bowie, Neitzer Ebb, Ministry, Front Line Assembly, Gary Glitter, B-52s, Killing Joke, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, The The, The Sex Pistols, New Order, THe Moody Blues, and some others (I can't remember right now) but they're all at home waiting for me to buy a new record player.

as you can see my taste is a little all over the place!

wtf? black shuck is not light. sex, drugs and west country mythology are probably the best combination ever. i wish i had a dog like black shuck (he shoots laser beams from his eyes and kills people!)

[Scruffie]

I have all my parents records really, and I couldn't even BEGIN to list all the records they own...

[Chris]

Black Shuck may have some weight, but that infernal single...

[SkinnedAlive]

Which? I count three I consider infernal.

Hell, that's not what I meant! They're a million cubed times better than the poppy crap going on in the charts today (I'm looking at you, Mr Trousersnake and Ms Jackson! One tit? Iron Maiden tied up a girl naked for three days straight!), but its nearer my light end compared to, say, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, or Satyricon, which melt my CD players...
