Recent CD purchases that I need to buy all over again on vinyl, in alphabetical order (obviously):

Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago
Cat Power: Jukebox
Dengue Fever: Venus On Earth
Devendra Banhart: Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon
Devotchka: A Mad and Faithful Telling
Joanna Newsom: Ys
Man Man: Rabbit Habits
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
PJ Harvey: White Chalk
Radiohead: In Rainbows
She & Him: Volume One
Sun Kil Moon: April

And some older necessary favorites:

Broken Social Scene: Broken Social Scene
Iron & Wine with Calexico: In The Reins
Joanna Newsom: The Milk-Eyed Mender
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: The Lyre of Orpheus
Silver Jews: Tanglewood Numbers
Smog: A River Ain't Too Much To Love
Songs: Ohia: The Magnolia Electric Co.
Sonic Youth: everything they ever recorded
Sufjan Stevens: Illinoise
TV On The Radio: Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes and Return to Cookie Mountain

There are certainly many more, but I can't stand to go on. I wonder if this is how it feels to discover that you should have imported all of your songs as WAV or lossless files instead of MP3s. Crap! You see: If I had gotten into vinyl sooner, I would have actually saved money!

I blame the White House.
