SimonPretty hooked on #litterati now. Going to be posting my #litteratitreasure (e.g. weird finds) here now, as well as my weird music finds (#albumscan).
Firstly, this coin, which is like finding a caveman by NZ standards!
Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Various - Rest Your Mind to the Music -and let the Maersk Minds work for you!
Pretty restful for the most part, apart from dud or two. Makes my top 10 shipping company mixes. Maersk did NONE of my work while I listened to this.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Guy Cater - Change for Life
One of the best ‘album’ covers a thrift shop has delivered so far! I haven’t taken this for a test-ride yet, but open for suggestions as to what thing I should try change in 30 days!

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Lix - 3 Songs
Again, amazing for obvious reasons. I couldn’t find anything about this artist online - total bedroom project. I wonder if they would be stoked or mortified to see this today.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Allswither - HZATR
For obvious reasons!! If you want to smash Allswither with orders based on this that would be very very funny. They sell the cassette for very cheap here: https://allswither.bandcamp.com/album/hzatr

HZATR, by allswither
4 track album
Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Various - Channel Z: The Best Of, Volume 1
A kiwi classic that has never before had a non-potato cover image on the ’net. Funny story: When I bought this for $1 I mentioned to the cashier that someone had stolen the CD from the case. The look on their face when they tried to take it and I said no, I don’t really care, was excellent!

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Ngaa Kaihiki - Kia a Ihu: Unto Jesus
A downside of archiving junk (aka treasure) is the volume of Christian self-releases. Usually it’s just bad music.. but this one is nice! Not understanding Te Reo helps too.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Josephine Fisher - Guided Meditations
There’s some very common DIY release types that catch my eye, but don’t have the bandwidth for: children’s music, meditation, all those pan flute CDs… This CD-Rs cover made it an easy purchase. Pinecones and rubbish in a hole? While entering this into MusicBrainz I found that Josephine died earlier this year. It feels nice to connect with, and immortalise, local strangers.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Eclipse - On Track
This ticks so many boxes for me. Awkward cover picture. Covers album. Band name that has been taken by 1,000 other bands already. Heart-warming booklet. Good on ya, Chris and Larry!

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Dolebludger - Demonstration Tape
The Cover Art Archive is having trouble so these aren’t up yet… soon! Young local crusties! ‘Dole bludger’ is NZ slang for being on the benefit. I think they all have jobs now haha
