Decisions, Decisions

Every man comes to a crossroads in his life, a point at which he must make a decision, one that will affect his life forever. I have reached that point.

I am going to Australia next week and have to decide which records I want to buy. CDs aren't cheap in OZ, so I have to choose carefully. Here's the tentative list:

1. The entire Orange Juice catalog - 3 albums
2. The entire Denim catalog - 3 albums
3. The entire(?) Felt catalog - 10 albums
4. The entire Go-Kart Mozart catalog - 2 albums
6. A Subway Sect anthology
5. Serge Gainsbourg - Comic Strip and Coleur Cafe

I have six days to find a used record shop where I can maybe get all this stuff cheap. Otherwise, that's a lot of money I don't have to spend on records. No one said that pristine pop perfection was cheap. Maybe I'll get lucky and find some Go-Betweens records as well, maybe some Postcard singles, I dunno. Maybe early Richman Beserkeley stuff. So many choices! Sometimes I wish I was born in England so that I could've had these records a long time ago. Oh well.
