Music For Your Tape Recorder

Largely thanks to Introducing, I heard some music that's actually recent. I've shattered last year's record number of album purchases (1, 2, 3), though Nights Out has yet to arrive, and Amazon is still looking for a copy of Fourth Drawer Down two months on. Also, Roygbiv is the greatest thing I've ever heard.
