"I can't complain. I got to be Jim Morrison for the first half of my life, and Ward Cleaver for the second half." - Warren Zevon.
I am a big fan of film scores so I bought Twentieth Century Fox: 75 Years of Film scores which includes a lot of my favorite movies from that era of the epic film. Films like Captain From Castile, Ben Hur, El Cid, The Robe, Prince Valiant all the way up to Planet of the Apes , Patton, Poseidon Adventure (which IIRC was John Williams first big movie ), French Connection, The Omen, Alien (surprisingly an Oscar winning score Jerry Goldsmith again). There's other gems like pieces from Bernard Hermann's score from The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Ghost and Mrs Muir. It even has music from the Fox dud of a Fantastic Four movie from 2005

I also received a package from the band Illusory today. It had the Crimson Wreath album cover art T-shirt I'd been expecting but also included was a very rare CD copy of the self-titled CD from Ivory Tower, the band that would evolve into Illusory.

Didn't buy any books for myself, but I picked up a few paperback mysteries for my Mom.
I have this urge to help aging soul and blues musicians by buying their recent releases, even if they are not nearly as good as the stuff from their prime.
This is quite nice though, Eddie Holman ("Hey There Lonely Girl" and the disco hit "A Night To Remember") still has a great voice.
Peggy Scott-Adams new album, sadly, is not available in physical copies, so I have been streaming it. Quite a few duets with Jimmy Lewis, who had given her her big comeback in the 90s with "Bill".

Hillary was right!
I picked up the new Queensryche album Digital Noise Alliance.

I had a damn good week of a new/new-to-me music haul.
First up was the physical copy of the Love In Chains debut album Everyday Heroes. I had reviewed the album via a download link I was sent from the PR company. But I loved the album and wanted my own copy. I had to wait a bit to order it, but it is now in my hands.
And then came my visit today to my friend's shop Purchase Street Records. I saw a post on Facebook that said they'd recently purchased a 4,000 disc collection. I messaged my friend to make sure today would be a good day to come by to check out the new stuff. He said it was but only what they'd already gone through and put out on the floor. That's fine, not like I could buy everything anyway. He also said he was getting another 2,000 disc collection soon too. (That turned out to be today).
So when I got there, he actually said I could go in the back and check out some of the stuff that was still in boxes that they had sorted but not put out yet. Most of that stuff was material I wasn't interested in. But there were three Meatloaf albums that I'd never seen in the wild before. One of which was still in its original wrapper.
Then I checked out the racks on the shop floor and found 8 more discs I HAD to have (amongst a lot more that I couldn't afford right now). And there were TWO albums there that had never been opened either.
So here's the list of what I got from the shop:
Overkill - Horrorscope
Overkill - The Killing Kind
Overkill - Immortalis
Night Ranger - 7 Wishes
Onslaught - In Search Of Sanity (with Steve Grimmett on vocals)
Suicidal Tendencies - Lights...Camera...Revolution
Meatloaf - Dead Ringer
Meatloaf - Bad Attitude (still in wrapper)
Meatloaf - Blind Before I Stop
Dee Snider - We Are The Ones (still in wrapper)
Fates Warning - Night On Brocken (still in wrapper)
