Various Artists - Now Yearbook 1999 (magenta red)

New

Now Yearbook '99 Extra CD

Overmono - Pure Devotion CD

Vinted

Becky Hill - Believe Me Now? CD (I only ever bought the USB on release week so I was happy to find the CD at a steal price)

Calvin Harris - Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 CD (It was only £1 and I want all of his albums on CD now)

got britney spears glory (deluxe) on cd, had to pay £5 extra postage because the seller apparently forgot to stamp it and then ignored my messages, good times 😠

I couldn’t sleep at all last night and decided I needed the Slayyyter album as I’ve been listening to a lot the past few months. I then convinced myself that I needed the Urban Outfitters blue vinyl to match the cover before realising it was US only and had extortionate postage.

Then somehow in my 3am logic I decided that the postage wouldn’t be so bad if it was split across more things and ended up buying 4 things instead of just 1!!! I really cannot trust myself sometimes 🫣

Were they Alex Warren and Olivia Dean? x

But seriously, I would also definitely be seduced by their selection. Charli is re-releasing, Deadbeat is stunning, oklou!

I don't purchase physical music items anymore. I might be what's wrong with the world 🙁 xo

I occasionally buy digital items from Bandcamp and I did buy CDs for years (duh), and I still have a dream in the back of my head of me in the future being a vinyl connoisseur, with a big hat and a stylish watch.
