Their second album and easily my favourite. "Just" is worth it alone, but add "High and Dry", "My Iron Lung", "Planet Telex", etc. and you have a classic. And the last album before they started going all wacky.

The Pixies - Doolittle
I bought this one on cassette tape in 1990. Only 20 bucks for one of the most influential and greatest albums of the last 25 years! "Gouge Away" is simply one of the coolest songs you'll ever hear.

Beastie Boys - Check You Head
Finally got some Beastie's on vinyl. I have plenty of Beastie Boys CD's, but didn't have this one, so it worked out! This is their 3rd album from 1992, the first one to feature them as musicians as well as rappers. "So Watcha Want" and "Pass The Mic" were the big hits off this one. Also has, "Jimmy James", "Gratitude" and "Funky Boss". And it's a double album that has a gatefold cover with lyrics and a bunch of cool pics to stare at for hours!

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Jukebox Explosion Mid-90's Punkers
The coolest band of the 90's! I saw them in 1998 in Vancouver at what used to 86th St (forget what it was called in 98). They're from New York, garage punk blues rock trio that I'm not surprised you haven't heard of. This record is a collection of songs that were previously only on limited edition 45's and stuff. The cover is great, the JSBX digging a grave and shoveling records from all the big 90's bands in.

Art Brut - Art Brut vs Satan
Cool new British band that my roommate turned me onto. If you like (or even heard of) the Replacements, you'll love Art Brut. If you haven't heard of the Replacements but like ass-kicking garage rock with a British twist, you'll love also love Art Brut.

Macy Gray - The Id
I have this on CD already, but the record was only 8 bucks! I couldn't pass up the chance to hear, "Oblivion" on vinyl. And, now I can keep the CD in the car.

Black Mountain - In The Future
Another one I already have on CD, but is waaaay cooler on record. I've blogged about this album already and love it even more on vinyl!

Kanye West - The College Dropout
Kanye's first album and another one that I already have on CD. Although, it's one of those that's too long to listen all the way through in one sitting. It's a double album too and will be perfect for a 20 minute shot every once in awhile. Kanye's great at parties.

Outkast - Big Boi & Dre Present....
A greatest hits album of their best before the "Speakerboxx/Love Below" breakthrough discs. Early Outkast can be pretty trippy, this album trims the fat and is a good one for entertaining the ladies. 

Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
Their are plenty of Hendrix records in the shops. But, most are compilations, live albums and assorted mish-mash. It's actually tough to find copies of the 3 original Hendrix albums in good condition. I have this one on cassette somewhere and it's my favourite of the 3. I lost an auction on Ebay for an original mono copy of this record recently. But, found a this copy at Vinyl on Hastings, so it worked out.

Otis Redding - Dock Of The Bay
I'm a big Otis fan and he's another guy who's hard find original copies of his stuff in good condition, especially in Calgary. This was the record that was released after he died and it was another find at Vinyl, in great condition too!

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Live
This was the band I went to Vancouver for. Saw them on Saturday night and bought this record on Sunday. I didn't even know they had a live album, so it was a good score! They are the coolest band in the world right now.
