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!

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

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".

hey guys

turntable help

Congrats, Sleeve, that sounds righteous. I just spent six amazing days in Albuquerque, NM, but I missed the ABQ Record Fair by just a few hours. Oh well, outta my budget and didn't feel like flying with a vinyl haul, anyway. I keep telling myself.

thanks TM

today I found the 2nd LP by The Selecter for a dollar even though my new job has seriously cut in to my Monday crate digging time.

Congrats Sleeve!! SOunds like a awesome job, someday I'd like to work on the green side of energy. Having money is nice.

you guys will never guess what i'm gonna do...

it involves ebay...

don't sell your whole store!

are you gonna try selling reggae records on ebay?

are you gonna sell books on ebay?

are you gonna buy records on ebay and sell them in your store?

okay, you'll never guess. here's my genius plan: i've been selling reggae for months on ebay. good reggae. collectable reggae. and while the fake bidding isn't epidemic, its an affront to my ideals of fair play and decorum. if i hadn't been watching my last big auction most of my stuff would have ended up being bid on and won by fakers. i was putting out fires left and right. taking bids away and blocking bidders. and they still managed to get to some of my auctions. now, most of the people who buy reggae from me are serious and they buy a lot of stuff. so, what i'm gonna do is this, have invitation-only reggae auctions. i'm gonna block the entire planet from bidding, and start my auctions. i will tell people if they are legit they can message me and i'll let them bid. if they smell funny to me, fuck 'em. plus, i sent out around 75 messages today to people who have bought from me in the past and told them i am starting auctions and that they are already cleared to bid when the auctions start. if i miss out on some last minute people, i don't really care. the people who are really looking for jah will be in there.

sounds fair to me

Why are so many people fake bidding on reggae records?

it's a thing...

see also: boogie, frenchmen

i sell a lot of reggae to france. lots of high-priced reggae. they are mostly fine.

okay, that ebay idea of mine was stupid. all i can really do is block locations i ship to. i can't stop people from bidding. and fake people don't care if you don't ship to where they live. cuz they were never gonna pay you in the first place. there's gotta be a way!

there must be an ebay computer program that blocks users with no feedback. or really low feedback. if they bid...

it's my life's work now.

holy f@$k!!! when did technics start costing almost a thousand dollars? when i bought mine back in 96 i paid $1200 for two. i was thinking about buying a new one but geez

fully-rehabbed used ones are around oakland for like $350

i have done so much rehab work on mine through out the years but now there is a low hum and too much static, and the other one just plays too low
