man, it sounds so fun. being in the bay area means you can kind of do this while stationary, since there's so many people w lots of records around here. but there's something to the romance of the road.

so what's in store for the weekend? i'm going on a tour of modern architecture on the MIT campus (including the o.O Media Lab, not open to public) and continuing my addiction to Nurse Jackie.

I'm having a beer and waiting for ups to bring me my damn phone preamp.
― JacobSanders, Saturday, 3 March 2012 00:53 (twelve years ago) link
who/what is nurse jackie?
phono preamp I mean
I'm DJ-ing a big party! 300 people or so. Tomorrow night. First time I've played out in a while, I've been nervously fussing with setlists.
― fully formed adult banaka unit (sleeve), Saturday, 3 March 2012 01:17 (twelve years ago) link
xp: nurse jackie is a TV series about an ER nurse who's also a drug addict. Jackie is played by Edie Falco. it is great. we watch it on dvds from Netflix. my daughter (aged 21) was asking me about buying a turntable the other day, and i had to explain all about phono inputs/low-levels/need for preamp, what exactly STEREO means, wow such a big huge piece of my world is so ... esoteric and all but extinct. btw she's probably going to buy one of those cheesy USB type turntables anyway.

i need to sell a ton of records tomorrow. i sold a bunch today. my pal russell bought a bunch of 45s. i gave him s sweet deal. i bought so much stuff this month. too much stuff. but i can't help it. now i need people to buy buy buy. went to friends house tonight and had awesome tacos. steak grilled on the grill. steak tacos yum. wine. more wine. too many kids though. they kept jumping on me when i was chilling on the couch. damn kids.

I've looked everywhere and can't find the cord for my mixer. Also I had to give up on my Dad's old tube components, I have this newer amp that of course has no phono input. I order a preamp, paid extra for ups delivery, that was set to arrive Mar. 1st, It never showed up, so I waited all day today and it still hasn't arrived. I'm so disappointed! For weeks I've had to turn my volume all the way up to have any sound, and still it's quiet. Sorry to rant. I just want to listen to my record at full volume!
― JacobSanders, Saturday, 3 March 2012 03:13 (twelve years ago) link
Scott I would buy record from you, but I bought too much last month and I think T is getting weary of my record buying.
― JacobSanders, Saturday, 3 March 2012 03:14 (twelve years ago) link
yeah you gotta watch it. i gotta watch it! i find it hard to say no when people bring stuff into the store. good stuff. i'm good at saying no to crappy stuff.
― scott seward, Saturday, 3 March 2012 03:17 (twelve years ago) link
scott do you sell on Discogs? someday i will make it out there.
― nerve_pylon, Saturday, 3 March 2012 04:45 (twelve years ago) link
i think it would be funny to buy records at Scott's store via Skype.
― sarahell, Saturday, 3 March 2012 04:52 (twelve years ago) link
i do sell some pricy indie stuff on discogs. not much though. i have all that stuff in the store too and i price it way cheaper in the store than the price online. i definitely prefer to sell it in the store. discogs can be cool though. sold a broadcast 45 for 50 bucks and an 80's dance 12 inch for 50 last week. so, it pays to keep stuff on there forever.
― scott seward, Saturday, 3 March 2012 05:15 (twelve years ago) link
oh hey just got a discogs invoice:

discogs kinda great as far as not gouging you. ebay got like 600 bucks from me last month. and then they get paypal money, etc.

I like selling on disocgs, just sold a Tom Tom Club 12" to a guy in Brazil. I wish there were a website for trading records.
― JacobSanders, Saturday, 3 March 2012 06:18 (twelve years ago) link

going to go out thrifting soon, just finishing my coffee. expectations are low but there are 4 spots to hit easily within walking or bus loop of my home.it's sunny!
― one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 5 March 2012 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
I am not going thrifting but Monday is my day to dig in used bins, I usually hit two spots on the way to my radio show.

this thread makes me miss records. I have had to shift my attention lately.There was a big documentary festival in Columbia last weekend. There was a movie called Searching for Sugarman, it is about Rodriguez.I heard that it was really good, which is encouraging, seems like music docs can be lazy and bad a lot of times.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 5 March 2012 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
i got a cool glass vase at the thrift store and broke it on th way home :(

― Stormy Davis, Monday, 5 March 2012 22:03 (twelve years ago) link
that is the one i got. it's VG+ iirc with a few scuff-type marks that may or may not sound, i haven't checked it yet.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 5 March 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link

― sarahell, Monday, 5 March 2012 22:19 (twelve years ago) link
agape agape and carpenter's gothic. gonna sell my carpenter's gothic paperback, may just sell agape agape instead of reading it. i have too many books.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 5 March 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
agape agape is good!
they are all good!
― Mr. Que, Monday, 5 March 2012 22:30 (twelve years ago) link
i know we're talked about gaddis before, because i have complained abt not being able to wade through a frolic of his own.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 5 March 2012 22:33 (twelve years ago) link
yah we have. agape is rad though--probably my third favorite?
― Mr. Que, Monday, 5 March 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
well i'll read it and then trade it to the bookstore.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 5 March 2012 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
i have too many books. i need to find a good bookstore that will give me trade credit or money. it's weird, i've lived here for 15+ years and I have regular sell/trade records places, but not books.
― sarahell, Monday, 5 March 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
i almost never try to sell books for cash, it's just such a small return. but i like trading for stuff i want to read.
