Record Collector of the Month - March 2022
First album: The record that set collecting in motion was a plain white copy of ‘Intrinsic’ from The Contortionist. It’s one of those albums that’s just so perfect in a lot of ways. The timing was great, the proximity in the discography is perfect, the songwriting was so pivotal for my ear at the time, the lyrical content, etc. etc. I fortunately had the chance to open for them at a local show right before the album came out. They played some of the songs from it for one of the first times ever live. I could go on, but I digress. Aside from that, I’d also inherited my dad’s old collection, as most do. It’s stocked with the classics: Journey, Def Leppard, Nazareth, Boston, etc.
Favorite Enjoy The Ride or Enjoy The Toons release: Another trick question? I was lucky enough to witness the golden age of Nickelodeon (Doug, Rugrats, KABLAM!, Angry Beavers, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold). By a small margin, I think ‘The Best of Nicktoons’ takes the cake. It’s got all that and more. It’s perfect. I still vividly remember stumbling on your site to find a treasure trove of nostalgia. Somehow it timed out well and you had the green and orange splatter on clear copies in stock. I knew I had to have it. Vol. 1 of Hey Arnold! is very close behind though. The A side is fantastic, even when you take it out of context. It’s really a remarkable release. Upon listening to it the first time, I was so immersed in it that I forgot it was a record. Literally no fuzz, cracks, pops anything. It’s superb in every measure. Also, ‘Riding the Wave’ from The Blanks. I love Scrubs.
Favorite album artwork: You’re really making me think about these. Some album art is great as a stand-alone, but there’s always a few that match every nuance and detail of the record. The one that sticks out the most to me is ‘Melting Sun’ from Lantlôs. It’s an encompassing, embracing listen full of summer warmth which Pascal Hauer captured perfectly in the artwork. The oranges and pinks throughout are so bright and vivid but not in a commanding way, you know? They get your attention, they can’t be ignored, but they draw you in. The whole gatefold is stunning. If you’re looking for some post-winter pre-spring tunes, this album is the jam.
What are your favorite local record shops to support? The Exclusive Company and Eroding Winds. I visit the Green Bay and Appleton Exclusive Co. locations regularly, ok, habitually. Tom at the Green Bay location is incredibly helpful, always helping me get a hold of titles I’m after and willing to place special orders for me. I’ve been going there since middle school when I was just collecting CDs. I haven’t calculated the percentage of my collection that’s come from The Exclusive Company, but I’d be willing to bet nearly half. I’m really spoiled to not have to drive hours to find quality selection. The folks at the Appleton location are fantastic too. I’ve had tons of help with the audio side of collecting from their guy Todd. Eroding Winds, also the HQ for Gilead Media, is a newer found haven for
me. I don’t get there often enough as it’s a bit farther of a drive, but when I do, the owner Adam always makes it worthwhile. I blame (thank) him for showing me the ropes on Imperial Triumphant and fueling my deep dive into their work. He’s another one that’s always courteous beyond typical standards.What have you been listening to more frequently lately? I’ve been on a pretty big Meshuggah kick. I think about this time every year since 2017, I dive into their discography heavily. This year it’s been a focus on ‘The Violent Sleep of Reason’ and ‘Catch ThirtyThree.’ I’ve also been on a Sleep Token kick. Their newest album took some time to grow on me but it’s continuing to grow quickly. Aside from those two, it’s been ‘Zeal & Ardor’ from Zeal & Ardor, ‘Natoma’ from Stormlight, ‘The Goatman’ OST from The Unseen, ‘Krüller’ from Author and Punisher, and ‘The Shape of Everything’ from SOM on frequent rotation.
What was the best album(s) you've discovered this year: It’s still early in the year, but I’ve been listening to the new album from this French outfit Celeste called ‘Assassine(s)’ a ton. It wasn’t mind-blowing at first, but the more I listen the more I’m finding I really enjoy it. It sounds like a sort of blackened Gojira. If Mario has Wario, in terms of sound, Gojira has Celeste. I’ve also been blindsided by ‘Kinfolk 2: See the Birds’ from Nate Smith recently. I was naively misled that he was only involved with Vulfpeck but turns out he’s well-versed and multi-talented. Massive thanks to Mike at Silent Pendulum Records for sending me a copy and showing me this incredible album. I’ve been watching (binging) Dexter and recently found out about Michael C. Hall’s band Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum. I’ve taken a quick liking to that, and it’s outside of most of my listening habits so it’s a nice change of pace.
What upcoming releases are you most excited about? First and foremost, the approaching release from The Contortionist. They always tease stuff out of the blue which amplifies the excitement. If my hunches are correct, it’s on the horizon. Aside from that, I know the new Animals As Leaders record ‘Parrhesia’ will be phenomenal. The singles released so far are as mind-bending as ever. I’d be willing to wager the same for ‘Immutable’ forthcoming from Meshuggah. There’s also a label, Wax Vessel, dedicated to resurrecting cult classic MySpace era bands that’s putting out one of my favorites from back in the day. It’s the full discography from the band Silence. It’s that quintessential deathcore stuff I was big on back in high school and I can’t wait for my copy to arrive.
Scenario time! If you could create a vinyl variant for any album (already pressed or never been pressed before), what would it look like? I’ve inadvertently been thinking about this for a while. I’ve always felt half and half variants are underappreciated. I have a soft spot for them. To reference my prior list, if I were to have a hand in pressing any Jakub Zytecki release, I’d choose ‘Nothing Lasts, Nothing’s Lost.’ I’d start with a half pastel pink and half baby blue record to match the album art. I’d add in some grey and black inner splatter, originating from the center label only on the blue half, and finish it off with strictly radial splatter on the pink side. I haven’t seen anyone do this (yet) and I think the result would be something unique to add the ever-growing variant diversity.

Have dishonest online brokers caused you to lose money? I beg you to contact Wizard James Recovery, a reliable hacker and recovery specialist. I lost $320,000 in total to dishonest brokers who pretended to be investors in binary options and bitcoin. It took me some time to understand they were fraudulent individuals, which was the worst thing I’ve ever done and caused me great pain. My in-law told me about it and suggested a specialized hacking company. In less than 72 hours, they assisted me in getting my lost bitcoins back, and the scam artists were apprehended and forced to pay for their crimes. You will be glad you contacted Wizard James Recovery if you have lost money due to internet scams, such as false binary investments, bitcoin wallet hacks, or online dating scams.

I believe that there are individuals who have lost their crypto one way or the other. I strongly advise that you don’t seek help recovering it online because you are likely going to meet a scammer who will steal more of your funds in an attempt to help you recover your lost crypto. I personally have used recoveryhacker101 when I had to recover my bitcoin stolen by scammers. You can contact this legit recovery firm by email (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom).

Fortunately, there is a way to do so and be completely discreet about it.

I was so lucky to win the $344.6 million prize in the lottery. I have been playing the Powerball lottery for about 20 years, and I hadn’t won a big amount until Dr. Isa helped me with his spiritual winning numbers. I thought it was all fake until he gave me the numbers and directed me on how to play. He assured me that I was going to win and asked me to give him 48 hours to finish his work, which I did. On the third day, he gave me the numbers and provided instructions on how to play, and luckily, I won. I want to let everyone who is reading this know that this spell really works, and you can also be a winner if you give it a try to see for yourself. The moment you contact Dr Isa for help is the end of suffering in your life. He has been helping people around the world, and I’m happy that I’m among those who have benefited from his great work he’s doing. You can reach him if you really want to win the lottery.

It all happened around June 20th, 2022, just when I decided to start investing in bitcoin as it was becoming the new trend of making money, and I decided to give it a try. I contacted a guy who claimed to be a crypto trader and promised he gives high returns on investments done with him. So I sent approximately $13k in bitcoin as my investment capital. In short, he completely went off the grid and stopped replying to my messages. I was heavily frustrated because that was a huge part of the savings I had sent to him. Then I got introduced to a recovery firm (recoveryhacker101) that deals in recovering stolen crypto funds. I wasn’t able to get my full $13k back, but I got $9,557. I want to use this medium to show appreciation to RecoverHacker101 for their expert service in recovering the stolen funds I thought I had lost forever. I recommend them to anyone who has fallen victim to these petty crypto scammers. You can reach out to them via email at recoveryhacker101@gmailcom.
Stay Safe and Smart.

I recently recovered 260,870 Crypt0currency that had been stolen from me in an investment scam. After months of effort I worked with a cybersecurity specialist, Brunoe Quick Hack, and law-enforcement partners. Together we traced the transactions, secured evidence, and executed a lawful recovery strategy that returned the funds.
This experience taught me three things: act quickly, preserve all records, and work only with verified recovery professionals and authorities. If you’ve been scammed, document everything and contact both reputable cyber-recovery experts. Ema-ill>>BrunoeQuickHack (at) Gmail.com >>Whats-APP +(1)-70578-42635….

The Hacker’s Trail — HOW TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY REWROTE MY LOSS BITCOIN INTO A COMEBACK…
I remember that hollow, surreal moment. staring at my wallet for the last time as the balance blinked to zero. Years of careful saving vaporized in one invisible, silent sweep. I felt exposed, naive, and completely outgunned.
That’s when TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY stepped in and everything changed. Their team didn’t promise miracles but guaranteed success based on methods. Over the next few weeks I watched a quiet, brilliant machine of experts peel back the layers of the attack like archaeologists dusting off an ancient ruin. They combined old fashioned persistence with cutting edge cyber-smarts: sophisticated blockchain forensics(transaction-graph analysis using industry-grade platforms such as Chainalysis and Elliptic) to map the money’s footsteps, and targeted memory and endpoint forensics (using tools like Volatility to identify ephemeral wallet artifacts) to recover traces the thieves thought they’d erased.
What made it mesmerizing wasn’t just the tech names it was the choreography. TROJANHACK ’s analysts used wallet-clustering heuristics to link dozens of cold addresses, OSINT investigators threaded public social cues and exchange account registrations into the picture, and their compliance liaisons quietly coordinated freezes with exchanges. When the team identified a cluster tied to a hosted wallet on a regulated exchange, they pushed legal and compliance channels that led to a freeze and after an intensive verification process the partial return of my funds.
It felt like watching a heist movie in reverse: every obscure wallet hop and every coin mixing attempt traced back, step by step, until the trail ended at a single point of leverage.
More than the recovered BITCOIN, what TROJANHACK gave me was confidence that expertise, ethical practice, and legal muscle can still punch holes in the privacy cloak criminals rely on. Their work was forensic artistry: meticulous, lawful, and relentlessly human. If you ever find yourself betrayed by code and cunning, remember two things I learned the hard way protect your keys, and get the right people on your side. TROJANHACK didn’t just recover currency; they restored order to a chaos I thought was permanent.
You can reach out to them for all sort of Digital asset related. contact them via Email: Trojanhack@qualityservice.com

I was at my lowest point when my partner ended things with me. The silence, the distance, the emptiness—it was unbearable. I kept asking myself what I did wrong.
Then I heard about Priest Az. I reached out, and he performed a love spell for me. At first, nothing happened, but I stayed patient. A week later, my partner suddenly called me, crying and saying they wanted to come back. I was in shock, but also overjoyed.
Now, we are rebuilding our love step by step, and things feel brand new. I can confidently say that Priest Az’s love spell turned my life around. Contact him at Mightylovespell@gmail.com WhatsApp: +43 680 5400 8232
