The thing about the streaming boom is that it really dropped the prices on physical media. I am therefore both very happy and very cheap.

A sonic history of Klaus Schulze. There’s 15 of these box sets. Might as well get started — it’s the equivalent of that huge key novel you’ve been assuming you’ll save for a long holiday or your retirement years.

We’re not going full End Times over here, you understand, but bleakly beautiful visuals with bleakly beautiful music by Simon Fisher Turner is better than looking at the feeds or the news for me today.

Second Run DVD really do provide an amazing service. Between them, BFI and Artificial Eye I’d be bankrupt tomorrow if I didn’t hold myself under tight control.

Just arrived. Go to kurtankeny.com and you too can own these fine books. Looking forward to getting into these tonight.

Signs of returning to standard hermit mode: filling the office with new film purchases.

For your pure German ritual drone ambient needs, full strength.

Finally got myself a physical copy of this. Realised I didn’t yet have one while talking to Ariela Kristantina about it the other night – I only ever had it on digital. It is completely stagey, completely artificial, and completely wonderful. One to study. (Again.)

These just arrived, and they’re gorgeous. Status update in a bit when I can function properly. Just going to stare at these for a little while.

Belated birthday gift. Now racked next to the complete QUINCY. I have a weakness for American 70s crime shows, what can I say. The complete COLUMBO will go next to them one day. Who knew KOJAK had 118 episodes, though?! Good god.
