hi <3 what r your fave records from ur collection and why. gotta ask

EEEEEEEK !! BESTIE THANK YOU !!! such an excellent question !!! thank god you said records because um,,, there’s a few let’s just say

left - stoneage romeos by hoodoo gurus. i remember very clearly seeing this in a record shop and being amazed at the album cover. i had no idea who hoodoo gurus were but i mean just look at that cover, how sexy does it look! i also remember being amused because on the back it says 'if you enjoyed this album, please help the band: get your friends to buy a copy not tape yours' like yeah expose some bitches!

right - pigbag self-titled. now i love myself some funky jazz instrumentals. pigbag is definitely one of those bands which i know no one has heard but pls, listen to them. i'd obviously go with the class 'papa's got a brand new pigbag' and then maybe we can start talking. anyway never in my wildest dreams would i imagine finding a pigbag record in my country, let alone in a town 30 minutes away. i had to get my dad to drive me there after school to get this record and obviously got bullied because of the name of the band but my god!!! the pure joy of holding this record, i found peace <3

left - of skin and heart by the church. OH MY GOD IT IS SO HARD TO FIND THE CHURCH RECORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! most of my records used to come from ebay and there was always nothing. zip. like it was so ridiculous. SO this record store guy was like homie and knew about my struggle on finding the church records and he literally called me to say that he found of skins and heart. believe me, i got over there as soon as i could to grab this baby. yes my bank account did a little weep afterwards but it was so worth it. she's so beautiful.

right - waiata by split enz. idk i just love split enz so much and i found waiata with the pink colouring. i just feel like it's a very me record <3

left - the loved ones' magic box. so much gender on the album cover i mean look at all the colours!!!!! i barely have any records from the sixties because they are hella expensive somehow but when i saw this record at this record fair, i didn't even think just SWIPED it. i'm gonna nerd out for a second here - this is the STEREO mix of the album. now after around 1972 for some odd reasons i have no idea why but they basically started releasing this album in one side of the stereo completely gone. like there's a guitar solo that plays in one ear and suddenly just dips because, obviously, it goes to the other ear. the mixing is HORRIBLY which is such a shame because this band fuckign slaps!! anyway the guy selling it was explaining this to me and i just had to say 'yeah i know, the guy in the pink shirt??? yeah that's my grandfather!' :)

right - we never close by pink flamingos. let it be known that this was one of my first-ever purchases on ebay and started a trend of collecting records that will probably never stop. the guy in the middle below the album cover was the love of my life, yes he had been dead for nearly 33 years when i got into him but that's beside the point. i knew for a fact i was never gonna find this album anywhere because no one probably knows this band outside of new zealand, and i had never heard of them until i met the guy in the middle. so when i saw it on ebay i knew i just had to take the plunge and buy it. when it arrived i remember opening it up because it was a gatefold and being in awe of this tiny picture of the guy™. he was beautiful, i just stared at that picture for the longest time. had to take it into the living room because when i was watching tv because i missed seeing his face?? anyway 15 year old was on another playing field.

left - clockwork orange soundtrack. this album belonged to my mama because she's the coolest person ever. i have never seen clockwork orange but i love wendy carlos, she's such a pioneer of electronic music and when i got this album it just so happened to be around the time i got into electronic music. listening to it made me feel like i was in some dystopian wasteland of concrete and metal and hard labour. the best <3

right - dave dee, dozy, beaky, mick and tich's greatest hits. worst band to have ever existed. anyway, i was searching through an old flea market kinda deal and just kept thinking 'wouldn't it be funny if there was an album by dave dee, dozy, whatever band?' and sure enough i couldn't believe i actually found one. i brought a few other albums and it was definitely the cheapest one but honestly, i would have spent so much money on this album. it's worth gold in my eyes.

left - our favourite shop by the style council. their best album. i just love the album cover again because, as i've said before, it's a bit like one of those i-spy books. looking at the album cover you notice such small details like the rave magazines with the small faces on it or the coat hangers that features the face of george best and john lennon?? like how did that ever exist. also weller looks STUNNING on the album, like dear god sir what a face.

right - their satanic majesties request by the rolling stones. i'm a brian girl this is obviously my favourite album by the rolling stones. i feel so lucky to have this album because never in my wildest dreams would i think of even owning an original copy of it because um,,,, rolling stones are kinda expensive :(( but i just thought where else are you ever going to get this album again?? so i bought it. it doesn't have the cool 3D effect like it had but who cares?? brian is on top of his game here honestly, he made the album what it is. it's the best thing the stones ever produced. brian king i love u!!!

and of course last but not least <3

MY BABY OH MY BABY GIRL THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AN ANGEL!!! I KISS HER EVERY MORNING BEFORE I START MY DAY!! this was the only thing i wanted my parents to get me for my birthday one year, i remember saying 'just get me the stone roses self-titled debut album released in 1989 with songs written by some guy and god himself jonathan thomas squire and i'll be happy' AND YOU BEST BELIEVE HOW I FELT WHEN I SAW THIS ALBUM !!!!!! i can't believe lie, i would marry her if i could. she's the only album that stands proudly near my record player so everyone knows that i'm such a bad bitch. it's the perfect album, everything on it is flawless. like all songs are 1000/10. i'm just so happy to have this album in my collection.

#ask #lovescrashingwaves #introducing my crusty ass thumb and the band-aids on my desk #will this was so much fun. i'm so sorry it took so long for this to come out but this was so hard!!! #i was thinking do i go for records that i love in general or the overall vibe and joy they brought #i have so many more records and singles and cds. someone pls ask me more questions!!!!!

Thank you so much for tagging me @acrossthisantheap!!!

last song: 'The Devil You Know' by Split Enz. Honestly this song is so underrated and is one of my fave Enz songs. This song has a similar meaning to me as 'Last to Know' as it has pulled me through some really tough times. Plus Neil's voice is divine!

last movie: Not really a movie, but I just watched the final episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and I'm crying, screaming and throwing up because the ending was too emotional for my sensitive soul and I will miss all the characters so much!!

currently watching: I am about to start watching Star Trek: Voyager (btw Next Gen is my fave Star Trek and Troi is my baby).

currently reading: Literally the 20+ hours of uni readings for my final year of my education degree :))) I really want to read 'Stranger Than Fiction: The Life and Times of Split Enz' again though bc the stories about Neil in that book are hilarious.

current obsession: Anything Finn related. This has been a decade long obsession and there's no sign of it stopping.

tagging @hessiesshed and @lovescrashingwaves if you want!

paper bag by fiona apple bc i am mentally ill

my love mine all mine by mitski bc i am mentally ill

the engine driver by the decemberists !! theyre one of my bf's favourite bands & i have been obsessed w their album picaresque. sad bitch folky music that conjures up images of some old ppl sitting on a porch reminiscing about the past and telling stories. i <3

full moon by the black ghosts (this is also my bf's faulty bc he is unironically obsessed w the twilight franchise and plays the movie soundtracks constantly)

spooky by dusty springfield - i heard this in an instagram reel & i have been obsessed w it ever since :-)
