and why 30 rock had such an open ending

sounds ill except for the asparagus bread pudding? i am skeptical.

gotta say dudes, record store day is a d-r-a-g.
so much stupid bullshit to deal with.

is it today?

no it's in 10 day or so... not this coming weekend, but next.
but there is a lot of preparation for it. ordering things, paying for things, receiving things, pricing things, finding room to display everything. and it all succcccccccckkkks.
and people are calling everyday asking about what we're getting. and the lines are gonna start early. and we're opening early (not my idea) and it succcccckkks.

in other news,
i am listening to helen's keiji haino records and that is awesome.

i tried to watch killing of a chinese bookie last night but i fell asleep...
someone brought in a bunch of highbrow/foreign/art stuff to academy so i am trying to learn about film. o_O

chinese bookie is good. watch it when you aren't tired.

anyway, now you know how people in real stores feel around christmastime.

yeah, i enjoyed the first hour and a half, but i got too cozy and napped.
will finish it later on. got some other cassavetes shit too. i think the only one of his i've seen before is husbands, which i liked a lot.

i hate christmas too fyi.

Man the asparagus bread pudding was srsly the best part. No one could stop eating it.

I am in a WEBINAR all day learning about cataloging sound recordings and scores. It is actually p awesome.
I just ordered some Pasolini films for my academic library! I like highbrow art films, even if I don't always get them or how to talk about them.

you can just look at them. and hear them.

you haven't lived until you've spent an entire (gorgeous, sunny) afternoon inside, putting together a bed from Ikea.

ikea kan kinda make you wanna die.

I love putting together furniture
I kinda feel that way about the store though, but that's also a lot of stores

you know what is sad? when you go to an estate sale and you dig through all a dude's crap and you know that you would really enjoy hanging out. but he's dead. and his kids don't even want to keep his electric vibraphone

ok granted it does take up a lot of room

oh hey scott, by the way i saw THE BIZARROS last week

I spent the gorgeous sunny afternoon wrestling with a 5.5 HP rototiller, it was muddy but I think I'll get it all done tomorrow.

First time I've tilled by machine in the 12 years I've lived here. We were breaking new ground for some roommates and tilling up spots we'd cleared for ourselves. Tomorrow I'm gonna work on the beds we already have and redo the new plots. The sun is supposed to stay until early on Monday.

My arms hurt and I'm gonna go listen to some early Clock DVA.

wow. that IS sad and poignant. i've actually been thinking about things like this recently... my kids won't want my records/jah wobble autograph/70s ludwig drum sets/first Orange Juice 45 w/ flexi etc. etc. etc.

also, i love the bizarros. are you saying you saw them live, or you saw the lp?

live, not sure how many of the members were original. they were all old guys though

where? where they good?

DC. they were really good, but Syracuse's THE PENETRATORS were even better. Penetrators had some Reagan babies as ringers though

new 2x4 expedit constructed, filled with extra crate material

congrats on yr baby jacob!!!

thanks man, its been a whirlwind past few days

man i cant wait to DJ for a new baby someday

i know! btw do you know any music with vibraphone or xylophone that is not jazz, maybe against a drone background or maybe avant spiritual new age?

any of these (esp the earlier ones): http://www.discogs.com/artist/Khan+Jamal
they're called jazz, but it's more like new (age) black music

the one w bill lewis is amazing. here's a blog link: http://destination-out.com/?p=1706

ever hear Javanese court gamelan? it's like bathing in a warm pool of metallophones against the droneiest avant spirtual new age background. so mellow and perfect for chillin' with a newborn.

Sundanese gamelan is good too. this is my favorite song of all-time

oh yeah good call!!

gamelan rec otm.

congrats jacoB!!!!

but make sure to avoid balinese! not sure the little one is ready for the ketjak yet

will totally admit to playing cocteau twins for rufus when he was a baby. twee dad. he heard a ton of death metal too at the time, so, he got an earful.

my friend's daughter is 1; her favorite song is 'low rider' by war. whenever she hears the intro she starts dancing & grinning. so cute.

i went to see robert ashley & ensemble perform tonight. it was great. an augmented version of "Concrete" which I saw a few years ago. so great.

LOL/YEESH

i can't hang with that site. are you on that thread?

i'd sell clean PG for 20, i guess. seems reasonable. i never see clean copies either.

no way! im plsmith on there -- i try only to post in praise of people or records or purchase or sale of records!

waxidermy is so weird. just ppl arguing about selling records all day. do they even like music?
i price VG+ PG for about $15 usually, i could put $20 on a really nice copy.

start a thread on there for my record thing i wrote:

http://skotrok.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-2011-emp-pop-conference-paper.html

i would be curious what scary rekkerd dudes thought of it. give you a clean copy of coda if you start one.

don't tell them you know me though. i want unvarnished comments.

and yeah, i could sell led zeppelin records all day long, and they usually don't make it past the new arrivals bin but i don't think that's a reason to price them higher, nor does the ever-flucating ebay sales price of records have much to do with my thought process when pricing out classic rock and other common, top 40, massively selling titles.

i definitely price floyd, zep, beatles, doors higher than when i opened my store. got sick of the flippers. buy out every beatles record i had and then some sad teenager would come in asking for beatles and i'd have to tell them to check ebay.
