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.

What began as an unexpected mistake quickly escalated into a critical situation. I suddenly lost access to a digital wallet containing assets worth $69,000, and the impact was immediate and overwhelming. Those funds represented years of effort, and without access, many essential plans and obligations were put on hold. I explored multiple options on my own, but none of them led to a solution, and it honestly felt like everything was permanently out of reach. After extensive searching, I came across HackMetrix, and reaching out to them was the turning point. From the start, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, technical knowledge, and discretion. The recovery process was not simple, but they handled it methodically and kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks to their expertise, access was successfully restored, and what once seemed lost forever was recovered. I’m genuinely thankful for their support during such a stressful and important time.

HOW I RECOVERED MY MONEY FROM SCAM
I never imagined that something as beautiful as love could turn into one of the most painful lessons of my life. I met someone online who seemed perfect ,caring, supportive, and genuinely interested in me. Over time, he told me about his success in crypto trading and encouraged me to invest so we could “build our future together.”
At first, everything looked real, I even saw my profits “growing” on the platform. But when I tried to withdraw, the website kept asking for more money taxes, fees, and “verification charges.” Each time I paid, they demanded even more. That’s when it hit me I had been scammed. By then, I had already lost $370,000. I was devastated and ashamed, but I refused to give up. While searching for help online, I found shieldstridehub, a professional recovery agency. Their team treated my case with genuine care and determination. After 1 week of investigation and communication, they were able to track down my lost funds and return them to me.
Getting my money back felt like getting a part of my life back. Shieldstridehub didn’t just recover my funds they restored my hope and trust.
Their official website is as follow www . Shieldstridehub . com

One morning in November last year, I woke up to a terrifying shock. My Bitcoin wallets had been hacked, and almost all of my holdings were gone. It felt like a nightmare one that I couldn’t wake up from. I was left with only two of my accounts intact, while the rest had been emptied, leaving me with a sense of complete loss and helplessness. The idea that my hard-earned investments had been stolen in an instant made me feel vulnerable and unsure of where to turn next. After a few hours of scrolling through forums and online articles, I came across “Wizard Web Hacker” They advertise themselves as experts in recovering hacked crypto accounts, offering a detailed process for restoring lost assets. Initially, I was extremely hesitant. Trusting someone with my personal and financial information seemed risky, especially after the betrayal I’d already experienced. To make matters worse, “Wizard Web Hacker” asked for upfront payment before offering any services. This raised even more red flags for me. It felt like a gamble, but I was desperate to recover my lost funds. Despite my doubts, I decided to reach out. The team at “WIZARD WEB HACKER” responded quickly and professionally, walking me through their process and addressing my concerns. Their transparency and the detailed approach they provided helped me feel more comfortable. I shared the necessary information for the recovery process, and after a few days of back-and-forth communication, they made significant progress. They were able to recover my stolen accounts. If you are currently struggling with lost or inaccessible crypto, or lost access to your wallet. I highly recommend reaching out to them. Losing digital assets feels final, but with the right professional help, there is a way back. Send them a direct email via information below.

When I realized my Bitcoin had been moved out of my wallet without my authorization, I was convinced it was gone. I had read that the blockchain was an “irreversible ledger,” which left me feeling powerless against the scammers. However, finding Wizard James Recovery (Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com) changed everything. What sets this team apart is their deep understanding of blockchain forensics. Instead of just making vague promises, they actually mapped out the movement of my assets through several intermediary “hop” wallets. They were able to identify exactly where the trail led, providing a level of transparency I didn’t think was possible in the crypto space.
The team was professional, stayed in constant contact, and eventually facilitated the return of my funds to a new, secure wallet. Seeing that balance restored was a massive weight off my shoulders.
If you’re looking for a service that actually understands the technical reality of Bitcoin transactions and has the tools to fight back against digital theft, Wizard James Recovery is the team you want in your corner. They turned a financial disaster into a success story.

My name is Elizabeth Madison currently living in New York. There was a time I felt completely broken. I had trusted a fraudulent bitcoin investment organization, who turned out to be a fraudster. I sent money, believing their sweet words and promises on the interest rate I will get back in return, only to realize later that I’ve been scammed. On the day of withdrawal there was no money in my account. The pain hit deep. I couldn’t sleep, I kept asking myself how I could have been so careless, meanwhile my mom was battling with a stroke and the expenses were too much. For days, I cried and blamed myself. The betrayal, the disappointment and my mom’s health issues all of this stress made me want to give up on life. But one day, I decided that sitting in pain wouldn’t solve anything. I picked myself up and chose to fight for what I lost then I came across GREAT WHIP RECOVERY CYBER SERVICES and saw how he helped people recover their funds from online fraud. I emailed all the transactions and paperwork I had with the fraudulent organization and they helped me recover all my lost money in just five days. If you have ever fallen victim to scammers, contact GREAT WHIP RECOVERY CYBER SERVICES to help you recover every penny you have lost.

After falling victim to a scam/technical error that resulted in the loss of 1.9 BTC, I felt completely hopeless.

However, after reaching out to Wizard James Recovery, the situation changed entirely. From the first consultation, their team was:
