Plugd Purchases

Look at the treats I took ho-ho-home this weekend…

A sick bank balance finally shook off an ill-sounding cough, and just in the nick of time too as the stack of albums saved for me behind the counter on Tobin Street literally approached tipping point. My latest foraging expedition in Plugd turned up this selection of beauts:

“The only words I said today were ‘beer’ and ‘thank you’.”  Finally got my hands on Bill Callahan‘s latest release, unsurprisingly a hot contender for album of the year.

I got quite excited about these guys back in September. Three months later and they still me gruesomely giddy.
