      My 'pathological obsession' for denim, garments & shoes curbs my other hobbies  😎  … the only record, which I bought in the last months was the new CLUTCH album - but this is top notch  🙂

          ^^ And a good choice it was! I also bought just a few records this year. Baroness' Purple is still not unwrapped as I just got home and couldn't play vinyl at my parents. But I look very forward to that one.

          By the way, great Avatar @beerhammer.

            Thanks @Max Power ! Been an emp fan since i just a young one. Didnt pick up their boxset though. Really cant deal with that blood music guy. Plus all the holes he was making international customers jump through. Also the price was ludicrous.

            Just put my order in for the neurosis box set though. Really excited for that.

                To be honest I didn't follow Emperor since they split up (2001?). But Anthems and In the Nightside Eclipse were some favorite records of mine, 15-16 years ago.

                  Love Johnny Winter's style of electric blues/rock. He is a soulful musician.

                              I'm having fond memories as a 9 year old in my mum's silver platform boots, eyeing up her makeup bag & playing her Ziggy Stardust album on the record player. I can't take in the news today.

                                Alladin Sane had a big impact on me as an eleven year old and inspired me to take up the drums, still playing forty years on. Thank you Mr Bowie RIP.

                                    No one more Visionary in rock music, except maybe Dylan and Lennon, and for all sorts of reasons–the records he made with Mick Ronson way back re-invigorated rock for the masses in a way Zappa did for a smaller few, when some thought rock still a fad, and a dying one at that. It led to punk, new wave, and more for a decade to come. Well on the other side of that, in 1986, a few years into the MTV era (another "fad" people thought as doomed), I was hired to direct/edit Bowie's video for Space Oddity. He wouldn't perform it or be filmed. It had to be based on all available NASA footage. My partner and I went ahead and cut it, Bowie loved it, and it became part of his tours, projected large, but never made it to MTV or broadcast because of a legal dispute involving creative rights. The idea of making a video for a long-dead (with little airplay at the time) back-catalog number was thought crazy, but of course it became standard 20 years later when Youtube arrived. The big silence will never be silent for him. This is my favorite:

                                      It's been a long time since any celebrity death has moved me as much as David Bowie's today. He was an institution in music since I can think. He was so many personalities in his time, and all came across so convincingly. And he lived here in my city, in Berlin, for some time and created some of his more memorable music here.

                                      I listened to his "Where are we now" to honour and remember him after hearing the news. Sadly appropriate in its elegiac, melancholic quality, remembering his Berlin years decades later.

                                      R.I.P. David, and thank you for the music.
