The Clerk's read on this shelf

“This 862-record shelf is anchored by a heavy 2020s modern run paired with a stubborn anchor of 1980s post-punk and alternative royalty. You've got seventeen Cure records and fourteen Pink Floyd LPs sharing square footage with nearly two hundred and forty recent acquisitions, meaning you buy forward while keeping the old guard locked in place. The math in the liner notes tells a quieter story about who actually built these mixes. Names like François Kevorkian and Mark Stent show up on dozens of your records without ever getting a spine of their own to stare back at you from the shelf. That's structural engineering disguised as tracklisting. It's a real crate of music with deep runs and weird blind spots, built by someone who listens to entire catalogs rather than just the hit singles.”

The Clerk's take

The roast

Thirty-six records through Mark Stent's board.

Thirty-six times his mix credits ended up in your liner notes. The man's fingerprints are all over your stereo and you've probably never pictured what he looks like. That's a lot of hidden architecture sitting quietly on your shelves.

Today's read

Krooked Kings, All Out of Good Days.

Owned for four months and spun exactly once back in July. One single lonely soul on Gatefold has this on their shelf. It's jangled out alt-indie pop that's been sitting in the dark long enough. Pull it out tonight and give it a second spin.

The win

Seventeen records deep on The Cure.

An eleven-album run from Seventeen Seconds up to Bloodflowers. You're missing five from that specific window—Boys Don't Cry, Faith And 'Carnage Visors', The Top, The Peel Sessions, and one more—but the sheer weight of goth pop holding down the 1980s runner-up slot at 201 records is no joke.

Buried treasure

Spin the Krooked Kings tonight.

Krooked Kings — All Out of Good Days

One play since July. One solitary owner on the entire network. That jangly, bohemian yearning is gathering dust. Drop the needle and let it breathe.
