Pushing on

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:34:00 +0000

106 is the target, and now i reach 102. Roman Artillery and Royal Navy In Focus 1960-69 are the latest books to join the collection. Both very different of course except maybe that they both begin with R.

Vit Hyper - chai park rai pood taen jai ying oak huk

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:32:00 +0000

CD #72 is the latest by Vit, cool guy, cool dreads, good music. What more can you want?

Various - Grammy : New Releases Vol. 05

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:30:00 +0000

CD #71 starts off the latest Thai batch, this one is a compilation of current Thai pop stars which is useful to see if there is anyone i am missing out on.

Ton up!

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:27:00 +0000

We didn't have to wait long till 100. And the 100th book procured this year is British Warships Since 1945 - Minesweepers. Now the target is 106, which would mean (with 91 and 103 procured in the 2 previous years) an unprecedented 300 in 3 years. The ultimate Book Baron glory awaits.

To the edge

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:33:00 +0000

Two more books were procured today to take us up to 99 for the year. Book #98 is Ark Royal and #99 Weapons Of The Gulf War. The latter was maybe the final Large Salamander produced, that kind of book one of the mainstays of the old Book Baron days.

Insane Times

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 21:16:00 +0000

CD #70 was bought at the same time as the Swinging London one. Psychedelia i love thee. This has some good and obscure tracks.

Songkrod Chama - khon kra jok

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 21:15:00 +0000

CD #69 is the last in the current Thai cycle, a good hard Thai country rock album.

Beginning the final countdown

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:57:00 +0000

Book #97 is Military Transport Of World War 1. A nice little Blandford release. Right 3 to go to the ton, then we'll look about the final push to territory never before reached in the history of book baronism.

Swinging London

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:25:00 +0000

CD #68 is something special, a compilation of obscure late 60s British rock/pop and some loungecore too. I particularly like The Magical Mixture who sound a bit like my band would have, if i had had a band in the late 60s. I wasn't yet born though which ruins an otherwise damn fine plan.

Das Boot

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:16:00 +0000

Book #96 arrived today, a very good book on u-boats in WW2, U-Boats Under The Swastika.

94-95

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:19:00 +0000

Two more books were procured today from the seemingly limitless source that is Ebay taking us up to 95. Jane's Military Review 1982-1983 and V-Bombers are both good solid Cold War Era books which has been the definite theme of this year's campaign.

The march forwards

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Two books from the march to the 100 were received today, taking us up to 93 for the year. Victoria's Navy and The Grand Strategy Of The Roman Empire are both excellent books of a subject a bit more unusual compared to what i have usually got this year.

November book report

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:58:00 +0000

4 books were procured in November, 2 new and 2 Ebay sourced. Of the categories it was a 4 way split between Naval, Old History, Combi and Air.

Takkatan Cholada - kon ngao tee kao jai ter

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:07:00 +0000

CD #67 is likely to be the most important of... next year. Takkatan is one of my favourite artists, and thus will be played countless times over the next 6-7 months.

December rush begins

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:33:00 +0000

I know its November still but the December rush has begun, can i reach 106 by the end of the year and thus achieve 300 in 3 years? My eyes are on the prize and to start with a new book, British Destroyers 1892-1918. This is book #91 for the year but i have 4 (i think) Ebay procurements pending plus 3 Xmas present books. I still need to find another 8 from somewhere.

Am Fine - drama

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:24:00 +0000

CD #66 is the latest from this Thai rock group. I don't really listen to a lot of Thai rock these days but this group is still there.

Nongpang Natthida - kor anuyart kid hord ai

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:00:00 +0000

CD #65 is the second by this young lovely. One of the surprises of last year, this one sounds good too.

Job Sabye Heart - narm tar poo chai

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:34:00 +0000

CD #64 is by Job Sabye Heart who is one of the coolest guys in the world. Just look at him! Awesome.

Klin Patoomma - poo chai khon raek

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:08:00 +0000
