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.

I never imagined I would fall victim to something like this. Someone contacted me online pretending to be Elon Musk and convinced me there was a special opportunity to purchase Tesla cars at an exclusive price. The person sounded very convincing and kept requesting different payments processing fees, delivery costs, and other charges. Believing the deal was real, I continued sending money, thinking everything would eventually go through. Before I realized what was happening, I had lost over $165,000. It was a devastating experience, but I refused to give up. After searching for help, I came across Hackmetrix, and they assisted me through the recovery process. With their help and guidance, I was able to recover more than 70% of the money that had been taken from me. It was a hard lesson, but I’m grateful that a large portion of my funds was recovered, and I hope sharing my story helps others stay cautious online.

I invested everything I had into my crypto portfolio, but unfortunately I became the victim of a well organized scam. A group of scammers used bots and fake crypto platforms that closely resembled legitimate websites, even cloning platforms like CoinMarketCap and Coinbase to make their scheme look authentic.
Before I realized what was happening, I had lost approximately $189,450 in USDC and Bitcoin. It was a devastating experience, and for a while I felt completely lost and unsure about what steps to take next.
A friend of mine, who had faced a similar situation a few years ago, recommended Morphohack Cyber Service. Reaching out to them turned out to be an important step. Their team helped me understand the situation, trace the fraudulent transactions, and work toward recovering my stolen funds.
I was truly impressed by their professionalism, dedication, and the speed with which they handled my case. I’m incredibly grateful for their support during such a difficult time. For anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams, I highly recommend seeking professional help from experienced and ethical experts like the team at Morphohack.

I recently experienced a cryptocurrency investment scam that resulted in a loss of 260,870. It was a difficult situation, but it pushed me to become more informed and cautious about online investments. I reported the incident, documented all transactions, and sought guidance on legitimate recovery and support channels.
I’m sharing this as a reminder to always verify investment platforms, avoid offers that seem too good to be true, and protect your digital assets. Staying informed and acting quickly can make a big difference.

I just wanted to share this review with everyone who can come across it. Everyone reading this on this platform, and a great thanks to the admin who made this medium a lively one, where everyone can share their opinions. I am Mrs. Livania, from New York, United States, and a retired nurse. I was bedridden for 8 months to get back on my feet. During this period, I came across an ad with numerous positive reviews on a trading broker platform. I was very interested, so I decided to contact the platform and invest with them. After my first deposit, I was told there was an increase in buying stocks, so I had to send more funds, and this whole thing continued for a good 6 months. Before I could realize I was already bankrupt, when I discovered that I had been scammed for a total sum of 378,000 in Bitcoin and USDC, I tried to get some recommended hackers online, but I ended up getting scammed again and again, and it hurts me so much because I am a good person who doesn’t deserve this wicked treatment. I already gave up, but then I came in contact with Reposolsa Recovery. I said to myself, after dealing with Reposolsa Recovery and no result, it would be my final straw. I messaged them directly via WhatsApp (+12092944699), and they responded swiftly. I laid my complaint to them, they assured me that they won’t charge me a dime till the recovery is a success, I was flabbergasted. Their approach relies on working closely with forensic accountants and other experts, as well as law They have an excellent track record of holding scammers accountable, including asset freezes, Do not let scammers get away with your hard-earned cash, look for ways to recover your stolen funds To recover your Scammed funds back to your bank account or to your bitcoin wallet address also to Clear or Erase Criminal Records. You can contact Reposolsa Recovery to get professional Cybersecurity and Ethical hacking services.

I aim to empower those looking to rise from a deep, shallow hole. Crypto investing can feel dark and risky—easy to fall for scammers, but rewarding with legitimate traders. To find the right one, don’t be fooled by convincing words; rely on insights and understanding the logic behind your investments.
I’m Brian Peyton , a former stock scam victim. After encountering multiple scams, I found a recovery hacker—Shadow Root Quick Hack—who helped me recover my funds.
