Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Cardboard boxes full of goodies. And a very curious dog.

Just had another frantic un-wrapping session on my livingroom floor, after picking up both my new turntable AND a shipment from a norwegian record store containing many of the Depeche remastered re-issues of old albums, and my first vinyl record! It was only fitting that the first one I got to hold in my hand was Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, an album that has meant a lot to me, shaped me and the way I listen to music. And it's one of the very rare albums I don't get sick of, I can pick it up after a few months and I can fall in love with it all over again. And the great thing about all of this is that I didn't pay much for it - the cd's were €6,70 each, the vinyl about €15 and the turntable came to about €70! Now, enough blogging, it's moving day!

And the collection grows...
