sold a copy of new morning to a preppy-looking high school kid. VG/VG+. $4

lovely day outside. could be slow. hell, even i'd be outside if i wasn't working. that's how nice it is.

sporadic record-related updates as events occur.

last saturday a completely out of it middle-aged man got tazed outside my store at LEAST ten times. While standing and while on the ground. as he lay on the ground with handcuffs finally secured to his wrists he kept yelling: "white ni**er, white ni**er, white ni**er" over and over in his delirium. time it took for entire police force to show up: five minutes.

had a nice visit from my brother's friend bob. formerly of se*a*oh. when i start having bands play here i'm gonna ask him to play. he's got good taste in records. or maybe it's just my kinda taste. bought a Gershwin boxed set and a Crow record and some other things.

now it's off to ebay to list some U2 rarities. LOVE selling stuff on ebay that i care nothing about!

every day i get one old dude who comes in and looks around and sez something like: "Records, huh?" "They still happening?"

or my fave: "people still buy records?"

i wanna say: nah, this is a museum. (and then charge them an entry fee.)

scott seward, Friday, 17 July 2009 20:47 (4 months ago) Permalink

the worst are the guys who come in and like, just don't "get it." Like they ask "Why do people listen to records instead of CDs? You can't put a record on your ipod, blah blah blah." Or the guy who was like "I listened to the new Eminem record at my friends house on vinyl and I didn't think it sounded any better than a CD..."

small retail is full of these people yer talking about tho - about once a month i get a dude that will come in and pontificate about how amazing it is that we are still in business because you know guitar center is so hueg and super awesome and im always like "uh thanks?". that and the people that say things like "well why would anyone buy a guitar when you can just play guitar hero?" and i just sit in stony baffled silence.

Ha, okay. Sloooow week though. Not a lot to report. I wish I could write in detail about the guy who wanted to talk all day with me about Sam Cooke, but this is a public forum. It'll have to wait for my memoir.

scott seward, Saturday, 18 July 2009 04:31 (4 months ago) Permalink

favorite customer comment about sam cooke was from a doo wop guy, while holding up a sam cooke 45, "why would anyone wanna listen to this? it's only one guy."

hahahaha. weird!

how could i just have, like, ten people in here at once and only make a dollar. oh well.

scott seward, Saturday, 18 July 2009 16:55 (4 months ago) Permalink

this is a weird thing to complain about, and i'm not really complaining, but this guy - very cool, nice guy, record collector - told me he had a big box of old heavy metal magazines that he would just give me for the store. i thought: cool! i used to dig heavy metal when i was a kid. what i think must have passed me by was how seriously tacky and embarrassing so many 90's heavy metal magazine covers are. So many sub-Olivia/Boris softcore pinup covers. oy vey. i mean, the mag was seriously raunchy in the 80's too (yes, i was a Den fan) but then at least you would have some weirder moebius covers or more sci-fi stuff in general. inside too, just sooooooo much comix porn. oh well. i'll put them in a dark corner somewhere. i mean, i want women to shop here. and gay women at that. i am in western mass after all.

since this is also the people watching thread i would like to introduce a little character known as "inner child."

inner child made his first appeerance in over a year today. Short man wit thinning, oversized t-shirt (often with wizard or dragon) & jean shorts, sandals. Incredibly whiney voice--he is identifiable over the phone, as sometimes before coming (from Jersey) he'll call to ask if we "have any rare psychedelic or progressive lps" on the wall. upon walking in he will study the wall intently, asking what each & every record is like and often taking them down to examine etc. today was a fun day cuz we have a whole section of the wall with a lot of mediocre-but-rare uk folk stuff, and some prog. so he was all excited to learn about that. luckily today k33gan got the task of helping him pull down records to look at (short man as i said before.)

he was just at the listening station with two 8-10" piles of records stacked one atop the other on the floor, in front of the other turntable. when asked to move them he became confused and sort of non-responsive, needed to be reminded a few times to put the records on the table. he is into talking to you about records too of course! "do you like german stuff?" "i like the really heavy and progressive stuff."

ian, Saturday, 18 July 2009 20:27 (4 months ago) Permalink

he once punched j0hn all3n cuz j0hn said "SRC sucks."

lol i meant to write "thinning hair" but his t-shirts are also heavily worn.

ian, Saturday, 18 July 2009 20:28 (4 months ago) Permalink

i know it's not cool to make fun of the developmentally disabled, but i can't help myself. this guy is so ridic.

i think he goes shopping with his dad. some older guy, who he calls Stu. post-shopping argument with Stu about how much money he is allowed to spend etc (after trading in a variety of mediocre psychedelic & prog records etc.) getting agitated because he has to put records back into their sleeves and "you don't want them to be out of their protective sleevse do you?!?!" (we keep wall records out of the jackets.)

ian, Saturday, 18 July 2009 20:44 (4 months ago) Permalink

also, i forgot the essential detail that he wears one of these:

ha! hoo boy. all of a sudden i'm regretting that i post under my own name and everything. i feel like gossiping.

woman and her brother dumped four big boxes of records on me for free cuz they were getting rid of stuff from their grandfather's house. total city dump stuff as far as i'm concerned and i'm wondering why the hell i even agreed to take it when i pull out a prefectly nice copy of the Surfaris Play album on decca. In mono, even. yay! so, that alone is worth me having to haul everything else down to the basement. sounds great. I mean, it's probably only a 30-50 dollar record, but i'm always happy to see nice playable copies of records like that. it's the little things in life...

wow, druids album sounds beautiful. one of those records i've always wanted, but would never spend, like, a hundred dollars for. cuz i'm cheap. and i just rarely spend serious money for one album.

also got a minty mono copy of the rainy daze album on uni. now i have stereo and mono copies! i'm sick...

sold some Angel albums. sweet. i prefer Angel to Kiss. just so you know. i prefer Starz to Kiss too.

sold some jazz.

nice box of jazz that guy had! the guy i bought six boxes of records from. plus, lots of staples for the store. the dead. led zep. stuff like that. always good to have. and smiths vinyl! always good to have smiths vinyl. very easy to sell.

And if they were in storage space...oof, I don't want to think about shifting all those boxes.

i have a feeling he's gonna call me in a few days and ask me to take them all for free. but, you know, we'd have to rent a u-haul and that always cost money. taking stuff to the dump costs money...

i tried really hard to find, like, TWO big boxes of good stuff to justify my time and back pain. this stuff must havee belonged to a dealer at one point. all the good stuff was gone. this guy (who has the records now) used to work clearing houses and buildings. he thought he could eventually make money off of them, but he never got around to it. i tried to explain to the guy that it was like looking at a baseball card collection with all the rookie cards missing.

there is an international video festival happening all around me today till midnight. so i'm gonna stay open all night. got a 12 pack. might need some more cigarettes though. definitely need a coffee. it's been fun so far. bought some musty records off of a guy. dude had that whole body alcohol smell. some decent normal rock though. then my pal sasha dropped off some more records. some good punk. which is ALWAYS good to have. people will buy punk records they already have just cuz its such a novelty to see decent punk records in a record store. or at least around here anyway.

one of the guys from grasshopper also has the Baked Tapes label and he gave me a bunch of releases to sample and possibly put in my noize column. very nice people. not a lot of people to see them, sadly, but everyone had a great time anyway.

was really hoping slasher risk would play providence but I don't think they did

something so satisfying about selling molly hatchet records to guys who REALLY look like molly hatchet fans.
