apparently.

ugh, thanks for reminding me rent is due in two weeks..

guy was in my store yesterday and he said he was opening a small store in brooklyn and that he had 5000 records of his own he was going to sell and i said cool and then you're gonna buy records? and he said no. just gonna open a store and sell his records. and he said that he didn't want to do it for more than 4 years because its not what he really wants to do. i didn't really understand how he was gonna sell 5000 records for up to 4 years. he said he found a cheap spot to rent. cuz i asked him about that too. don't know why he just wouldn't do fmu and other shows or flea markets.

but anyway it just reminded me of when people come into my place and say "are these all yours???"

huh, i wonder who the guy was.
no name?

seems weird. all the good stuff will be gone in the first months!

he's gonna be in bushwick. he said mostly new wave and post-punk stuff. i didn't get his name.

interesting.
there's already a store kinda like that in bushwick! what do i know, maybe he will make it work but it seems like a losing proposition to me, unless he's only gonna be open a few days and keep his day job.

i was having a day yesterday where i was getting really frustrated with record ppl. then i realized i wasn't 'record people' i hated in particular it was just 'the public.' some people can be just so brutal sometimes. won't take no for an answerrrrr i am not going to give you $20 for your bag of beat up pop 45s dude i do not want them.

another guy brought in three big boxes of records, i pulled out what i could use (maybe 150-175 pieces) and offered him what i considered a reasonable amount -- but he passed on it and probably thinks i am just some jerk out to fuck him. but i'm not! i try to be fair at all times!

I would think most people who bring records into a store are hoping to trade or just unload them. But I guess most people don't understand stores just can't offer you market price on records, that you aren't ebay. I actually brought a bunch of rare disco 12"s into your store when I was in Brooklyn many years ago and was happy with my credit price.

scott did you ever know the psych guy Harry from south jersey?

i don't think so. my psych friend was dan who worked at the record exchange. still does too, i think. we were good pals when i lived there. the best psych collection i've ever seen in my life. and i didn't even see it all! he was also the best digger i ever knew. better than me. better than anyone i knew or know.

this guy came in with a big tub of records and i made him an offer and he said he would take half that because he "likes what i'm doing". !!! i like his attitude! i'm like a cultural/nostalgia charity case! and i'll take it. my kids eat tons of food.

totally had tons of smiths records and cocteau twins and tom waits and sex pistols too. like, 15 smiths albums/12 inches!

score!

Awesome.
Some friends of mine opened a store in town just a few weeks ago and the outpouring of appreciation from the community has been kind of embarrassing to them. I mean, we have been sorely lacking a decent record store for a while, but the guys say that people are acting like they've opened a volunteer fire station. I've been weeding my collection a little bit and bringing them stuff that I think will sell or maybe represents genres that they don't have much representation from.

wow scott, that's amazing! so refreshing!

<3 happy birthday scott <3

if i were in greenfield i'd stop by with a pie asap.

Happy Birthday Scott!!

Happy birthday Scott!

so sad. i like how at the end of their video they leave the record store empty-handed.

I might be moving to Baton Rouge, LA soon for work, anyone been in the area looking for records? Excited about eating in Louisiana, maybe digging will be decent.

I have a librarian friend there, not sure about the digging scene.

How much physical music (CDs, vinyl, minidiscs, cases ingles, whatever) have you bought so far this year?

needs more categories!

we bought a large collection at the store.
we paid more for it than i would have liked but it didn't want to watch all these records go out the door.

a lot of swedish & scandinavian prog, avant-garde, jazz, new wave etc.

the only record i'm allowing myself to buy from the collection is this one ---

i'm not buying the samla mannas mamma record i used to have.

even though i like it more now. than i did then.

hey if you happen to dig out Anna Sjδlv Tredje's Tussilago Fanfara lemme know, I really want that record.

will do! i don't think i saw that one, but i have not really thoroughly gone through everything yet.

this guy was a producer in sweden in the eighties... goran andersson. we have a lot of TWICE A MAN records..

oh man that is totally related stuff! see the review at the end of the Discogs listing here:

I am drinking whiskey w/a rock and listening to the new RANGDA record.

oh wow, we have cosmic overdose records too... so maybe that one is there.

i will put together a package of this stuff for you if you are interested, sleeve -- some of this stuff is in doubkes/triples..

I wish I had a bottle of whiskey tonight, can you believe I'm in a partially dry county, only beer and wine. You have to drive an hour to find decent liquor.

i'm about done with my bottle of old overholt. drinking bear republic's 'big bear stout' and it's quite good. might finish off the rye if i feel i need a drink when this is done.

ian would be awesome, would totally listen to anything in that vein.

now I am experiencing my first listen of the Rangda LP through the lens of Swedish 70's-80's prog... if I squint hard I can see the resemblance.

Jacob r u in Louisiana?

uh well obv ian IS awesome, add a "that" in there.

i love the new rangda lp.
i'm just watching tv now cuz roomie is in bed. law & order, a bond movie is on next.
do want to jam the shadow ring double lp that just came out. two albums of unreleased tracks! my uncommitted listening earlier was v promising. the chance to hear 'new' shadow ring music! they really are a very special group..

i'll get back to ya tmrw, sleeve! i have at least a couple twice a man records (a few diff titles), two cosmic overdose records, will look for that other one for you too. let me know if there's anything else in that family you are looking for.

I'm in southeast texas, about 45 minutes from louisiana. Only here till next week, then I'll be in Paris,TX for awhile. What do you guys know abutt Robyn Nice and all of his guises?

thanks ian! that's the only one from that scene I really want just off the top of my head, but I will think on it.

It is raining (really raining) in Oregon for the first time in 103 days, fall is here finally.

Jacob I knew about that Boots/Remus/CC or whatever record, but had never seen that overview, so you know more than I do! I have that record as a download, didn't know the rest.

i've never seen that article before either! i like that record. i don't think i ever bought it though..

I'M A FARM!!!

"record' = box set on hp cycle

huh
i never noticed roald dahl wrote the screenplay to 'you only live twice'

jeeze, now i want to hear the rest of those robyn nice related LPs!

seriously!
