My first music purchase with my own money was Duran Duran Rio. I think I was eight years old.

My most recent purchases (made all in the same evening) are Social Distortion's latest Hard Time and Nursery Rhymes, Wanda Jackson's new album The Party Ain't Over, and Addie Brownlee's EP East of Leaving. I'm particularly impressed with how Wanda Jackson's growling energetic voice has held up over the years.
