ILV clubhouse

other ones I have heard complaints about are I Am The Cosmos and The Sky's Gone Out.

hey dudes
i'm in RI, going out almost every day to look for records.
dad has surgery tomorrow -- biopsy on a tumor inside his spinal cord. eek.. if all goes according to plan they should be starting radiation within a week or ten days after the results come in.

rhode island is weird.
i mowed a lawn today.
and put a down payment on a minivan.

skot, have you ever been to sunset records in somerset, ma? that's where i'm going today. i know it's not your side of mass.

<3 best wishes to your dad, buddy. stay busy and watch hella storage warz ok??

so much storage wars, and so many shows about regional burger styles.

i like food shows that showcase the food (high- or low-class, whatever), but i cant handle that EAT 100LBS OF BEEF CHALLENGE shit

COME ON

Hey guys, it's been awhile, how is everyone? I've been finding amazing records in Oklahoma and buying records privately from people. Really excited about a few that I'll soon post about. Missed you guys

So i'm reading Scott's blog and just found out we have the same receiver

I feel a bit cooler now, I guess. Except mine doesn't have that fancy wood case around it, it's just woodgrained metal. Now i don't feel as cool anymore....

Anyway, give me a holler if you want to know how to change those teeny indicator lights for "phono" or "stereo" or the blue meter or radio dial backlight. Those little buggers are a bear to change and harder to find.

guys I just discovered a really *~~interesting~~* Instagram user after she liked one of my vinyl photos: heightfiveseven, look her up.

wau, interesting is the right word.

i bet she gets creepy messages daily. if not hourly.

heightfiveseven
@rawsoulrebel DUDE he wrote a banger for Bobbie Gentry too - "Rainmaker." Though I love it not so much for the lyrics/melody as the super duper drum breaks that somebody has yet to chop & loop

what are the odds this is some dude and his girlfriend is a model

I would say there's an 80% chance

actually, no, upon further reading i think this is a real woman. but it's hard to tell. what got me was the comment about "i HAD TO GET THE RIGHT BELT BUCKLE FOR THIS ONE" post. about buying belt buckles. women be shoppin.

I like the mf doom "mm food" photo

3 day weekend ahead, we are going crate digging/thrift store diving throughout central Oregon. Can't wait! We leave tomorrow, gonna hit Grant's Pass to the south (lots of rich CA retirees, the thrifts should be intersting) and then drive NE to Bend. No schedule at all beyond that...

awwwwwwesome. good luck!

sounds fun! the pnw is the best! why don't i live there?!

i bought so many records. spent a bunch of money. for me. now i gotta go to work. for the summer. or the year or whatever. testing my limits apparently. happy though! for the most part.

well I am back to report to the ILV clubhouse that you should not waste your time in any record store along the Southern Oregon I5 corridor (Ashland, Medford, Grant's Pass)). Unless you like $15 copies of Frampton Comes Alive, the 1st CSN, and Cat Mother/All Night Newsboys. No? How about some new Michael Hurley records for $30 each? I did see, weirdly, two sealed copies of the TFUL282 10" Admonishing The Bishops, but they were $13 and I already have it. There IS a decent record store in Bend, I bought the 1st Flying Lizards LP for 5 bucks and some good new/used things (Breeders "Pod" MLP, on the turntable now). The St Vinnie's were all closed for Memorial Day weekend, that is where the good stuff usually is. The Goodwills were awful. We came back a day early after drinking some kickass beer in Bend. Now I get to be lazy and listen to records all day until my radio show.

and so it begins. wish me luck. ebay is about to get a polka onslaught.

SHOW NO MERCSKI!

Polka!! Even I can't get too into that stuff. There are great polish fiddle records but the field is so daunting

i got hundreds and hundreds of vintage polka records. going up this week. yeesh. so much. cool covers though.

hundreds and hundreds like that.

polka collectors of the world rejoice

its kinda like with the irish stuff. people flipped cuz i put stuff up that they never see. which seems weird to me cuz i always figure everyone has seen everything. but my pal marco who bought a lot of that stuff - and who has a huge irish collection and who has played with half of the people on the records i had - rushed right over to the store when he saw my stuff on ebay. and it wasn't THAT much stuff. had a nice woman drive to the store from cape cod who bought, like, 20 of the irish records on ebay and who bought 20 more of the ones that hadn't sold. she was so excited.

my secret weapon: maria's pals at the UMASS radio station who do the weekend polka shows. she's gonna tell them there when i have everything online and then they can tell their worldwide audience! and they really do have a worldwide audience. their audience is huuuuuuge for those two shows.

Those polka records look awesome!

you know what sells for money? polka 45s on Coral. i see them all the time! who knew? i've probably had dozens of them. sell them for a buck or put them by my door for free. i mean i don't know about specific titles, but i know i've had tons of minty coral polka 45s.

Strongly considering taking a trip to St Louis tonight to see Glenn Jones and Happy Daze (I guess they are local?) at the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center. Friday fatigue is an issue, though. We're not taking my car, though, so it's more possible I can make it. Hmmm.

having too many muscle spasms to consider a four hour round trip car ride tonight.
Oh well. Sorry, Glenn.

muscle relaxers + harold budd tonight, dude. be good to yourself.

has anyone tried using baking soda or kitty litter to get rid of a heavy mildew smell?

Hey guys look at what I found, someone has made a discography of radio station/homegrown compilations!
http://www.radiouseonly.com/album_master.htm
Does anyone else collect these? Anyone have any good ones?

great site. i could definitely help them out with track-listings. i collect them. i don't know how many i have. never counted. always been meaning to make a good soundcloud mix. this might inpire me to do it.

i don't collect the ones with actual well-known songs on them though. just the local band radio station comps. i love the hawaiian homegrown series.

the san diego homegrown ones have good stuff on them too.

Yeah it's the local acts I collect. I never knew there were so many! A lot of the ones I have found that are past 83 feature a lot of metal/hard rock. Were these essential in the birth of metal/glam rock?

There's a band called Listen on the San Diego ones that I like. Kind of pop prog. I think they're on II, III, and IV.

I bought one of the later ones when it came out, actually! They were put out by our KGB 101 FM and used to sell for a dollar and one cent.

KGB was the same station that had the Chicken. The San Diego Chicken. He used to be the KGB Chicken.

where is wombleton records again? L.A.? they are on my facebook and they posted a picture of records and what they sell for there and WOWEE 24 dollars for a normal copy of colour of spring and 14 dollars for a copy of boulders by roy wood. wowee. tha lynsey depaul love bomb album for 24 dollars!! wowee.

to be fair they are having a sale so love bomb would only cost you $17.60. woweeeee!!!

and if anyone here is friends with those dudes don't mind me. i figure rents are pretty high wherever they are, but i would still say wowee if i went in a store like that. been in new york stores like that.

ugh, wombleton. never been but the stories about that place are amazing.
