it's ok because it's satisfying enough

i can't remember how i first got into casiotone for the painfully alone. i probably just read about him somewhere and liked the name. i do remember listening one night while smoking some sticky tobacco/weed out of a personal hookah in the back of one of my houses in provo one summer and absolutely loving it. especially the earlier stuff. the two casiotone albums that i ordered came today along with the first wolves in the throne room album, diadem of 12 stars. diadem's on clear vinyl with a pale yellowish tint, beautiful, the album art too. i listened to the first disc of two hunters by wolves in the throne room last night after i got home from the record store. so fucking good, the prettiest metal albums i own.

i'm listening to answering machine music by casiotone for the painfully alone right now, i'm really happy with my recent record purchases. except i'm bummed that two hunters was the black version, i should have known. they send the generic black ones out to retail stores. still waiting on my jesu split, shouldn't be long though. i always feel nearly satisfied with my record collection. like i want the modern lovers/jonathan richman and the modern lovers/jonathan richman records and more beach boys albums or beach boys members' solo stuff. and after i get some of that there's gonna be something else. and i really want dirty mind by prince, i found it on ebay buy it now for about $11 including shipping. the song on that album, when you were mine, that casiotone covers on the young shields 7" is really good.

the life of a record collector is a sad and lonely one, but it's ok because it's satisfying enough.
