So I sent back those Sennheiser headphones I got a few months back, wasn't enjoying them.. felt clunky on my head and the bass response was a bit overbearing. So I've gone for the universally adored AKG k240s - already sounds great and I don't even feel like I am wearing headphones.

Also bought some cycling bib shorts, cycling glasses (I want to look like Jan Ullrich ha) a few records and a few books..

Edit: okay these are actually incredible headphones.. wow..

Honestly, both are great brands.. but I am enjoying these AKG's a lot more so far.. seem very well balanced and there is great detail/clarity.

Well...uh...aside from vending machine stuff (I love Snickers, I may need an intervention), the last thing I really bought were some bargain bin things at a record store.

Burn Plate No. 1 - Proem
Boolean Blues - J. Hanson
Proud Evolution - Liars
Hail Social EP - Hail Social (some kinda early demo, I think)
and a Retard Disco sampler.

Hardly buying anything lately, except food, but today I bought some Pablo Neruda poetry book (with English/Spanish text) to keep up with my Spanish and dive further into Latin American lit, following Garcia Marquez's death.

Bought some Ruddles, purely because it's cheap beer.
Absolutely disgusting.

I ordered Black Saint and the Sinner Lady and Ravedeath 1972 on vinyl. Hooray for Discogs/Amazon hugely undercutting record stores :?

I tried ordering The Ballasted Orchestra on CD from a couple of online record stores, all of whom declared it to be unavailable, so I ordered it direct from Kranky and it's on its way...why the online stores couldn't do the same I've no idea.
