This feels insane. I might have a problem.

So this is the best haul I've seen in a decade or more.

I stopped at a junk shop out in the desert. Lots of tools, road signs, furniture, glass, pots, southwestern lawn art, etc. Lots of stuff in sad condition. This is not a curated antique market. An older lady runs the place, said she buys auction lots and resells them here. Inside was just piles of barely sorted everything, lots of shelves, and not far from the front door I spy records. I'm wary. They're stacked vertically and haphazardly. And I hate sand. It gets everywhere. She says these are $1 each, and has no idea what they are, so I get to sifting.

It's mostly hip hop and funk, but that ain't all. A bunch of it is VG+, in sleeves! Funkadelic, Mos Def, Sza, Kid Cudi, Earthgang, Bernard Wright, OutKast, Nas, Tribe Called Quest... There's a Cage the Elephant, Mac DeMarco, Fleet Foxes too, and a bunch of stuff I have no idea about.

But then I pulled out this. No protective sleeve, but I've got those, and it's pristine inside and out. No way does the Star Blazers soundtrack have any business sitting around a desert junk shop in excellent condition for $1.

I gave her $40 and didn't even bother counting how many I grabbed. No, I ain't saying where. I'm going back.

It's certainly dissonant. If there ain't metal versions of this, somebody screwed up.

Amazon sent me this one by mistake a while back and it looked interesting, so I kept it. I haven't listened to it til now.

Got moved into my own house. Now I gotta build some shelves.

It might slide into the doorframe with a sci-fi hiss and recognize your approach to unlock, but it's a 100% manual, electric sliding door. If you walk out of your basic apartment and don't manually close the door when you leave, it WILL be open when you get back. It'll stay open the whole time you're home. Who ever saw a manual, powered, sliding door? If you didn't realize this was a dystopia, there you go. That's hysterical. I wonder if they set it up so you'd get burglarized for neglecting basic security. And if not, why not?!

Whoever thought that up is an evil genius.
