It's extremely bizarre for me to hear this... Egypt's economy is in the drains, and we have almost nearly the exact same prices as the U.S in terms of computer hardware... (The prices of everything else though are waaaaaaaay overblown)

Edit: Here pc hardware is exempt from taxes and duties. I always assumed that at least in Norway it should be the same...
Everything is more expensive in norway. We are the worlds richest country. We earn more, we spend more.

Another Sunday sees me up with the sun for whatever reason, might as well go to the car boot and see what people that are not so versed in tools want to sell me

A lump hammer (£1) and some more auger bits to go into the very overstuffed pot but the pick of the day

"£1 each" he said. I will take the lot (and the auger bits) I said. The dies in there (2 M20 and 1 M25) are in reasonable condition as well, though looking online at the prices of 42mm OD dies ( http://cy.rsdelivers.com/catalogue/category/dies/12001.aspx#A-320331| http://www.engineering-supplies.com/product/13028/m25x1-5-electrical-conduit-thread-die-42mm-o-d-/ ) I am beginning to wonder if he got the last laugh.

Sweet!! I didn't know this was released! Is that the international version, or the Japanese one? (how's the sound quality?)

Pc hardware is overpriced as fuck in Norway
Everything is overpriced as fuck in Norway, dear neighbour ;) Haha

I'll post some of the recent stuff I've got later!

We bought PS4 Console with two PS4 controllers included from Portugal (Ponta Delgada, Azores) and bring it to America last November. We are going again next month for two weeks for some Europe games and visiting friends and families. :-)

Well I got it here, nothing in Japanese on it and no mention of an import so.
Honestly I don't listen to the vinyls, just get them for the collection awesomeness :) I just grab FLACs and play it on le PC. As for the album itself I fucking love it. Many many many great songs.

Ah yeah, okay ;) Then I really recommend getting some vinyl frames, especially the cheaper ones from Bengans for example, or IKEA... there are others that are WAY more expensive where it's easy to change / play the vinyl when the frame is on the wall, but if you're not listening to them, hehe.
Speaking of vinyl frames, I got one of those expensive ones from a store on Östermalm, where they sold 300,000+ kr vinyl players and audio cables for 10,000 kr per meter. It was fucking scary just being inside that store! But the owner was a funny guy.

EDIT: By the way, that's the international version (Since the last song is the English version) :) Also, because Swedish stores often have the international versions.

Something I got a while back: Dorena - Nuet (Positive Postrock, with some lyrics in Swedish) (You see the Lagwagon box set, and Bonobo - The North Border special edition to the left)
x6qq9Xm.jpg
Amazing indie pop: The Mynabirds - Lovers Know
tVovfwM.jpg
Limited and hand numbered avant garde/indie pop/art rock, lathe cut on a plexi glass sheet: Joan of Arc - As Black Pants Make Cat Hairs Appear
ogxmjAb.jpg
Fun indie pop, in their own words "Super limited mother fucking blue" vinyl, only 311 made: Terror Pigeon! - Live It Up Before You Die It Up (with a lot of fun stuff)
pKb1SPO.jpg
Another rare record, though very recent! Amazing jazzy dubstep. Rainbow splatter!!! Limited to 100 copies (in the UK and Eire, don't know if there are more released elsewhere): Submotion Orchestra - In Colour (and you see parts of Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister, The Boy With the Arab Strap, The Life Pursuit, Dear Catastrophe Waitress and Storytelling in the corner)
dLpmG8i.jpg
This is the vinyl frame I mentioned in the previous post, the record inside is not something I've gotten recently (a couple of years ago). (But that's Mono - For My Parents (Instrumental Postrock)).
F4zcAFo.jpg
And lastly, the one thing that made me the most excited in a long while! A soundtrack album. The best one ever. Twin Peaks! (and you see part of Belle and Sebastian - Write About Love in there too).
