Today’s video is basically Christmas (because it is the holiday season), except it’s gifts for me from me… so I can feel less guilty about spending this much money. I’m unboxing seven vinyl records, including new releases I’ve been dying to get (and yes, I’ve been watching everyone else unbox them and seething with jealousy). We start with a vinyl.com box haul: PinkPantheress’s “Heaven Knows” (I’m obsessed with the cover and the poster/lyrics insert), Turnover’s “Peripheral Vision” (a literal indie rock staple that somehow wasn’t in my collection), and Deftones’ “Private Music” (gets better every listen, and the jacket is so glossy). Also: hype stickers are my enemy, especially the circle ones. Then we get into two Discogs finds that genuinely made me feel like the luckiest person alive. I finally scored “Headspace” by Issues for $35 after seeing pressings go for hundreds, and the clear/white split with purple + aqua splatter is a total showstopper. And then my biggest ISO: “Dream Feeling” by Moxy the Band—an actual 10/10 album for me, limited to 150 copies, and I’m not even being dramatic when I say I’m about to keep it glued to my turntable. We end with two Ariana drops (because she forced me to pay shipping twice, love that): “Yours Truly” in the clear/white swirl from the 2019 variants restock, and the “Christmas & Chill” 10-year anniversary with a real jacket, cinnamon-scented inner sleeves (I thought it was gimmicky… and then I became obsessed), and snowflake etching. I yap, I sleeve everything up, and then I immediately go listen to Moxy. As one does.
