Yup, I'm one of those physical media people

(from the previous layout)
Argentine Rock.
Compilation. Gifted by a beloved friend.
Not on any streaming services I can think of.
The song selection is good, but it has none of my personal faves, sadly. (from the previous layout)
Argentine Ska (not sure what kind).
It hasn't been in production in decades. I found it by pure freak chance, for much cheaper than it usually goes for. (from the previous layout)
Argentine Ska-Jazz.
First album by this band. I actually have a French reprint from 2002. The only difference is in the cover. (from the previous layout)
British 2-Tone Ska.
Compilation.
I literally walked into a record store and bought the first checkerboard thing I saw. I had never heard of The Selecter before, and I really like them! (from the previous layout)
Spanish Ska-Punk (very self-explanatory)
Compilation. Kinda strange selection. Has some faves.
The CD itself seems to be much more sensitive to smudges. It's the only one that stutters and skips in my CD player, even though there's definitely dirtier discs. (from the previous layout)
Chilean art experiment.
This CD is a set of musicalised fragments of real phone calls made to a public phone number set up by the Kurvo art group.
The zine it comes in includes a short statement about the project, a few photographs, and some paintings.
Lovely stuff. (from the previous layout)
Argentine Rock, Pop, New Wave.
Compilation. The selection here is fantastic. As the name says, it's a collection of their greatest hits. There's some I would've included that aren't here, but it has pretty much everything I'd show to someone I was trying to get into Virus. (from the previous layout)
Blues.
Compilation. My grandma gave this CD and the one below as a gift, cus she knows I like blues. I hadn't listened to either of them before but they're really good! The case on this one was a lil busted, so I replaced the broken part. (from the previous layout)
Also Blues.
Compilation. I think I like this one a little bit more. Looking into both of these, seems like they were released in Brazil and Europe in the mid-90s? There's a bunch of them. (from the previous layout)
Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae.
I bought this at a show I watched them play at. I love the way they sound, it's chill but not too much, lovely to listen to no matter what I'm doing.

The copy I bought didn't work, but the band was kind enough to give me another copy. Super cool of them :3 (from the previous layout)
As a test run for my bootleg creating capabilities, I downloaded the UNDERTALE soundtrack (bought on Bandcamp), re-created the official art to fit into a one CD jewel case (the cover booklet with the song list inside, the back of the case, the spines, and the CD label), burned all of it (101 tracks in mp3 form) onto the CD, and put it all together. I am very proud of myself, and it only took one failed CD. (from the previous layout)
Lounge, Turkish Classical Music (I really have no clue, so I'm going by whatever rateyourmusic says).
This one's also from my grandma's catalogue. It's pretty fucking good, particularly "Rivers of Belief".
Not something I'd usually go out of my way to listen to, but still glad I have it! (from the previous layout)
Good ol' rock and/or roll
This was a gift from my dad, he likes the Rolling Stones a lot. I don't know much about the band, but I do like what I hear whenever I play their music!
Plus, I know this album has some songs that are very meaningful to my dad, which is pretty cool! I like that aspect of connecting with people. (from the previous layout)
A little Cumbia, a little Punk, a little Reggae, a little everything
This is a fucking fantastic album. It's so varied it never gets old, really. It's also pretty political, which I like in music, but mainly it's that it sounds incredible from beginning to end. (from the previous layout)
All sorts of Ska
I bought this via Bandcamp, and the price of the disc itself plus the international shipping now make this the most expensive CD I own lol

But I don't love this because of the price, I love this because it might actually be my favorite album in all of 2025.
It's wall to wall bangers, Ska-Punk, 2-Tone, fusion with Midwestern Emo, Ska-Core, INSANE SHIT. But what really pushes this into "greatest album" category for me is that the songs themselves tell a really nice emotional story that feels pretty relevant to life and this dog gone earth. (from the previous layout)
The most mysterious item...
It seems to be a collection of kids' songs packaged in the cover of a My Chemical Romance album (Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, I think).
Also gifted by a beloved friend.
As we don't own a record player (yet), I can't say if they're good or not. Compilation of three EPs Compilation, of course. Compilation, very nostalgic. The cover is missing, but everything else is still there. Compilation. Unfortunately, CD number 2 is missing. Compilation. A DAMN good one at that.
The first CD is unfortunately missing... which is a shame, because that disc includes a version of Hablando a tu Corazón with Mercedes Sosa. Pretty cool compilation. Compilation. I can't find this one on any streaming platforms for some reason... Unfortunately, the disc is dirty enough to mangle some of the tracks. Very pretty CD case and booklet. I can't give an honest impression of this album because it's the soundtrack of my childhood. It's so MyDadCore that it just makes me think of him.
I love my dad, so I enjoy this album a lot I was pleasantly surprised by this one! Very very nice tango. Compilation. Pretty nice one, too. Compilation. Very scary face in the cover. A compilation of music for various movies by Vangelis. Includes music for Blade Runner, which I love. Lovely compilation. I cannot find anything about this album online. I backed it all up and shared it on Soulseek to make sure it's not lost. Compilation. A pretty sweet set of songs! Compilation. Compilation. The first of five.
I can't speak for the rest of the collection, but this one has some fantastic songs. Film soundtrack.
As of the time of writing, I've never seen this movie. Maybe I should, this soundtrack's pretty nice. This case is a BEAST. If you have never seen this CD in person, seek it out. It is a lovely sight.
