The awesome Pop! Vinyl just keep on comin'! We've never seen Disturbed's mascotThe Guy – he of the fiery eyes and twisted grin – look so adorable. Meanwhile Dolly's Backwoods Barbie gets the display case treatment, and the wild boys are calling with this beaut rendition of Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon. MERCH MONT H M H of the Check out the cool new merchandise available in JB stores now!

Do you have a vinyl collection? If so, how did it begin, and expand? Mine's very small. I have both Hozier's albums, some James Bay, a Sinatra and a few pop-punk that I love. I only really buy albums I love and want to hang up on a wall these days. I was always more of a CD gal. What do you enjoy most about working at JB? I love finding albums when putting out stock that I would never have known about, and checking out the artist. You never know what you'll find! (Definitely judging based on the cover, though...!)

What‘s an early, cherished music memory? Driving with mum and her blasting some Aussie faves, along with some classic country. Which recent album do you currently have on repeat? American Heartbreak by Zach Bryan, or This Place Will Become Your Tomb by Sleep Token.

Below: Hozier's Wasteland, Baby!. Right: The frontman of London alt metal act Sleep Token, 'Vessel'

What‘s your all-time favourite album and why? Hozier's Wasteland, Baby! . There's just something about it that scratches an itch like nothing else. Maybe it's the apocalypse vibes, or the use of myths and legends, but it never gets old.
