yo where'd you buy this? couldn't find it at Amoeba

got it at tweekin believe it or not (or TRS, as i think they want to be called these days). hadn't been there in forever, but they usually have a couple of newer 12"s that tend to fill in some of amoeba's gaps. the used house section there was pretty rewarding to look through actually, found a couple great singles like that simon harris thing

oooh, and i forgot to list this one...
mick karn - titles (love this record! how did i forget!?)

do you guys have time to listen to all this stuff? i'm at the point (and i think i buy a lot less than most of y'all) where i have a huge and growing pile of LPs on the floor that i keep meaning to listen to, but can't find the time. probably should go cold turkey on buying stuff for like six months or more. a few years really.

for financial reasons, i haven't bought anything in awhile. it feels good; i've got too many horizontal piles on the floor. it's making me listen to stuff i haven't touched in years.

"huge" might be an overstatement. i've got maybe 40 LPs in the queue.

Freddie Hubbard - Skydive
The Pentangle - Basket Of Light
The Pentangle - Solomon's Seal
Osibisa - Heads

it's true, having no money can force you to appreciate the bounty you already have.

having said that, having no money has rarely stopped me from buying records. cuz i'm sick like that.

^ i tend to just buy dollar records when i'm broke. that being said, i just got some extra spending $$ and have been going sorta bonkers lately. after this haul i think i'm cutting back hardcore...

emeralds - does it look like i'm here?

I took my father-in-law with me to the record store. He loves music (and is a drummer) and still has a bunch of old records from back in the day, but he hadn't had a turntable in years. A bunch of us went in on a Rega P1 for him this past christmas and he'd gotten a kick out of playing his old records. But this was the first time he'd been in a new/used vinyl store in a long time and he was like a kid in a candy store. "Hey Bob, check this out -- I used to have this! $3, can you believe it?!! I gotta get this..."

^^^ heartwarming!

yeah, that's a nice story.

i've bought a lot of vinyl the past few weeks but i find it's too much trouble to bring it to where my computer is to type it up. :-(

maybe tomorrow.

you need a macbook son.

i have one, i just only have internet access in one room. :-(
