i'm usually pretty on top of my stuff, but there are some things that just truly disappeared into the ether. had a truly treasured copy of THE OMEGAS 'joy boy' mix tape that i found in Montreal for next to nothing that just disappeared from my sydney sharehouse one day ten years ago -- i still rearrange my tapes lookin for it as tho it'll somehow reappear, really gives me the shits!
funniest reappropriation story was a copy of one of the DIGITAL LEATHER 7"s i picked up from the states at some point, don't think they ever really made their way over to australia so it was relatively hard to find and i didn't know anyone else who liked them or knew 'em. loaned the 7" to my girlfriend of the time back in 2014 or so and never got it back during the break up so cut my losses.. years later i come back from overseas and move into a new sharehouse in 2018, and after a few weeks i walk through the lounge room and DIGITAL LEATHER is playing. it really freaks me out so i ask my housemate, 'holy shit where'd you get this!?' took us a while to figure out the chain of events haha
