Mostly, I'll have to rescan a lot of records covers I was going to create listings for on discogs. Mostly just sux not having a computer.

aw man, that's awful. my computer died about a year ago--the screen pretty much broke off? i don't treat my hardware nearly as well as i should.. i got a new one eventually, but it's such a bummer feeling of weird disconnection.
best of luck to you, jacob! we'll talk about records soon; i have a copy of the bunny fitzgerald record if you want it, and a copy of the REPAIRS record which i think you'd like that i got for a buck.

wife & i are watching a simon & garfunkel thing we taped from VH1 abt the making of bridge over troubled water. it's actually really great. lots of great stories abt studio technique in the late sixties, vietnam etc. worth watching. called "the harmony game."

i digz repairs rekkerd.

skot are you in new york this week
do you want to drink a beer or eat a food

i am on a train in springfield mass right now.

my seat is now a hot spot.

i dunno what we are doing. going to bro and sis in laws house then going to nyu later for the opening thing at emp probably. after that i dunno.

i'm going to some lee ranaldo release party thing later, because there is free booze and i like lee, but perhaps we can get together some evening. if yer still here sunday it is my day off and we cld hit some record stores.

oh i see, no cash for records.
but beer!

yeah, sad. bought toooooo much stuff this past month. can't buy for me right now.

i need to sellsellsell.

the last time i was in new york was when i saw you and jon and everyone. 2007! i don't get out much...

wow that's almost 5 yrs!
i don't get outta the city much except to visit family.
helen wants to go to the montague book mill and see western mass friends some spring weekend; i made a point of telling her we needed to stop at your store when we do.

how long are you here? unfortunately i work til sunday. saturday night i'm playing records on EVR; you should stop by the studio if yer in the area and not busy.

we're leaving early sunday. we kinda have to for children reasons.

the book mill is rilly close to me. there are better used book stores though. but it is pretty there. and you can get a beer and buy a book and turn it up has a small store there where they don't have a ton of records but they do have tons of dollar folk a la rounder/june appal/fretless/etc.

i mean the book mill is cool. don't get me wrong. and big. for books i like its not always the best.

helen knows my brother, right? my bro is coming to the emp thing i think.

i love dollar folk revival records. best music.
what kind of books do you look for when you go looking for books?
what kind of books do you sell in the shop? i've been on a book buying jag for the last six months or so. stuff just keeps piling up and i can't help myself from buying books at the salvation army when i see them.

helen & pat (or roommate/helen's bandmate) both know your bro. i saw pat play with bunnybrains once.

oUr roommate's

's's

I wish there were still dollar bins on the West Coast! Almost all gone, even the thrifts are $2 now.

i keep thinking for some reason that helen knows my friend doug? from way back. doug has a hipster jewelery store in nyc called bess. the olson twins are big fans. i've known doug forever. since i was 14. i just remember he was pals with someone in TR...it's all a blur. of course she must know my brother. too bad you guys can't come to my thing friday. it starts at like 11 a.m.

i always imagine the west coast as having mountains of cheap records! i've never really gone record shopping tho. i went to amoeba in LA once but this was 6 yrs ago and it was the only store i went to while i was there.

xp
doug & his wife are two helen's oldest friends; think she met him working at kim's in the nineties. we dogsit for them sometimes! or we did last summer when they would go to jersey for the weekend. doug made our wedding rings!

i think bunnybrains even used to play shows with matt's old band before TR. can't remember the name. feels like a million years ago.

a million, 20, w/e

doug's a sweetie. i've known them forever. i mean i knew both doug and beth before they got together. i used to work with beth. and doug, like i said, i've known since i was a kid. haven't seen them in a long time. they used to live with whatshisface from matador. that's the last time i saw them. they had a kid then i think. or maybe we did.

they have three kids iir. a girl and two boys. so weird. okay i gotta go to work now. let's hang this week tho if possible. yer welome to come by for dinner & drinks & records any time

i have a turntable now

thumbs up

my mixer broke

ian what time is the EVR show, starts at 10 right? I might be in the village saturday, my friend Cathy is playing records at Hi Fi. maybe I'll swing by.

i bought it not so much for music use, going to build one of these

ooooh dream machine!

yeah! its been on my to-do list for years and i recently found instructions for 45rpm

my brother-in-law has the coolest records. in his apartment now. unesco and folkways up the butt.

one-string blues on takoma. never heard that one...

confession: one-string blues on takoma sounds so good i just impulse bought-it-now on ebay

always wanted to try the dream machine, I thought it only worked on 78. lemme know how it turns out!

lol i have that record and would have traded to you, pete!!
EVR is 8-10!

I think Trip Maker's tried to build it, can't remember

xpost cool that's better actually. maybe I'll drop in.

i wonder if i know your bro-in-law, scott. does he shop at my store?

always wanted to try the dream machine, I thought it only worked on 78. lemme know how it turns out!

someone re-designed it for use on 45 since 78 machines are harder to find: http://www.permuted.org.uk/dmpdown.htm i'll post pix when its done

i built a dreamachine on a 78 turntable years ago from the official TOPY instructions. it worked great - total kaleidescopic effects - and worked even better tripping with headphones blasting gamelan gong kebyar, Jajouka and Heathen Earth.

Hey guys, came up empty handed looking for records today, but venturing out tomorrow to better stops. Finally got Robert Byrne's Blame It On The Night, and gotta saw I love it. Really into late 70's AOR right now.

coming home empty-handed some days is really good for the soul ime

True, I even found a few interesting records I have already, but decided to leave them for someone else to find.

check it dudes!

Atomic Records in Burbank has a pretty choice .50 bin, and every once in a while when it gets overcrowded, they blow those records out for free.

Had a 78 rpm dream machine, never had much luck with it tbh.
But I could never do magic eye, either.

"i wonder if i know your bro-in-law, scott. does he shop at my store?"

nah, he's one of those manhattanites who never goes to brooklyn. he goes to academy here though sometimes. right before he went to bed he put on fraser & debolt. THAT's the kind of brother-in-law he is. so cool.
