ILV clubhouse

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.

man, that fraser & debolt record is on my bedroom turntable RIGHT NOW. been listening to "waltze of the tennis playes" over and over the last few days.

CAN'T
GET
ENOUGH

incense, velvet, simplicity, religion
where on earth are you going?

Is it a smart idea to try selling records at this price stack in this undesirable way? I can't imagine these are NM or even EX?

chud o rama

These aren't 80,000 no name records either.

would be better if it was

but... Barry Manilow! Chicago!

inevitable waxi thread

I see records stacked like this in corners at flea markets in TX all the time, it's sad how records are treated at these places. Sometimes wish people would just throw them away. Found one of my holy grail xian records in a tall stack of records like those and not only was it wrapped like a bowl but it was stuck to the record under it.

I got the best records yesterday! I wasn't gonna buy any records or even LOOK for records but we were walking by a place yesterday and...

anyway, i loved what they had! i didn't even look through half the store. i can only imagine that there was a lot more i would have bought if i could have. i didn't want to lug a ton of records areound all day and i really can't spend anymore right now. everything was so cheap! i didn't pay more than 4.99 for anything. almost everything i gor was 2 or 3 bucks. it was right by NYU which is why i was in there. we basically stuck around the pop conference.

4.99 is a great price for that Pillows/Prayers comp, and that's my favorite Nightingales record! what's the name of the store?

oh right duh. generation records. on thompson street. and apparently they have another store on bleeker. those would be my go-to places if i lived around there. one of these days i will get the academy stores. i promise.

i think i might actually have that one passage full-length. i know i had two of their albums and sold one. but it was such a perfect copy and it was, like, 3 bucks.

I hope you left some for me when i get there on Thursday Scott.... Generation is one of my spots on the list..

I already have that Tapes LP.. not as good as the first two, but still pretty good.

Scott so many of those records look right up my alley!

Those are amazing records, Scott! Like bands I didn't know existed.

HEY Y'ALL I GOT A NEW JOB

working for a small robust startup company that is in the solar power industry (in addition to being a pastry chef I have an Electronics Technician degree which I will now actually use). It takes me 12 minutes to drive there, I could probably bike it in 25-30. and holy shit it's full time! Salary!

I'm already thinking about records to buy, of course. My local bartender's brother-in-law might sell me five boxes of "old sixties jazz and country" so I'm saving up for that. I asked him what kind of shape they were in and he said "well, I used to live in communal houses and some of them got kind of trashed... (pause)... so that's why I have three copies of some things, I had to get better ones".
