ILV clubhouse

i got a cool glass vase at the thrift store and broke it on th way home :(

oof bud.

it's okay. i still got a weird bird painting and some stupid rock records to sell the the store. (ac/dc, anthrax, bruce)

and i am gonna go to 2 or 3 other spots after another cuppa cawfee and maybe some snacks

thrift scores for myself today--
grateful dead '75 boot 2xlp, TARKL sounds good! uh oh it's skipping.
2x williams gaddis hardcovers
a kinda marked up copy of 'blues people'

got some other books to trade to the bookstore, some more records to trade to the store--late horace silver, some graham nash, run dmc, etc.

which Anthrax did you get? I need Among The Living on vinyl

that is the one i got. it's VG+ iirc with a few scuff-type marks that may or may not sound, i haven't checked it yet.

which gaddis books?

agape agape and carpenter's gothic. gonna sell my carpenter's gothic paperback, may just sell agape agape instead of reading it. i have too many books.

agape agape is good!

they are all good!

i know we're talked about gaddis before, because i have complained abt not being able to wade through a frolic of his own.

yah we have. agape is rad though--probably my third favorite?

well i'll read it and then trade it to the bookstore.

i have too many books. i need to find a good bookstore that will give me trade credit or money. it's weird, i've lived here for 15+ years and I have regular sell/trade records places, but not books.

i almost never try to sell books for cash, it's just such a small return. but i like trading for stuff i want to read.

yeah, same here -- the place i thought would be really cool about giving me trade credit was quite stingy, and i just ended up donating most of the books i'd brought in to prison libraries.

^^ that's what I ended up doing as well, it is a good option

today I found the Smithsonian Anthology Of American Folk Music Vol. 1, never realized those were boxes and not gatefolds but it makes sense with the booklet. also some relatively cheap Joy Division reissue/upgrades.

i love giving good credit for cool books! cuz most people bring me stinky books.

<3 blues people!

a nice guy i like is moving and he gave me boxes of weird books for free and i got a cool hardcover dylan picture book by the guy who did the bringing it all back home cover. dylan hanging out in woodstock and recording and touring with his rock band. my fave dylan period, natch. it has a picture of what was gonna be the cover of tarantula but they didn't use it cuz they both thought it was too similar to the cover of BIABH. i listened to 2nd side of BIABH five times in a row this morning. top ten 2nd side of all time for me. top five even.

i have that OJL record in the upper right!!!

Hey guys spent the afternoon with the midwife, she's nice and great, afterwards went searching for records and found Pete Jolly Trio and Friends's Little Bird! Also a odd maybe decent private press folkie lounge record.

Hey scott I really dig that record! Have you heard his second one?

yes i like that one too! glad you like it.

USPS broke a record i sent to a guy in washington state :(
it wasn't the most valuable item in the world, but it's a drag nonetheless.

hey ilv: i paid too much for for 'wed morning 3am' and 'heart food' but it was v v sunny and warm out today and i figure someone has to overpay for records

i am trying to convince the postdoc i share an office w/ the we should get a portable record player in here but he seems... unconvinced...

what is his postdoc in?

pollen!!!

i posted some more records on ebay after an afternoon of thrifting. aside from stuff listed i got a small stack of 3-6 dollar items i can sell to the store and for myself i got a lyrichord lp of african folk music with a bonket sleeve and an earl scruggs review lp.

It's really raining now! Still trying to solve my sound problem with recording vinyl. Anyone know a better free program for recording other than Audacity? Or do I just need to spend time figuring out the cleaning tools? I can't seem to remove the surface noise, noise removal just quiets the overall music, so I add the bass booster and it brings back the surface noise.

Hi there clubhouse, mind if i come in?

I was wondering if anyone here (Scott?) could tell me about this Morninglory lp i came across when pricing up some records for a fair. Its a great record - who were these guys and where were they from?

is it two suns worth on fontana? i can't see the picture. i don't know much about the group. always liked the album though. "jelly gas flame" is a good one. kind of a minor west coast artifact, but well worth owning.

my pal vinylty is selling that right now.

this guy comes in my store twice a year with my wife and i'm kinda envious of his lifestyle. just goes up and down the east coast and into pennsylvania buying in stores and at shows and does like 3 or 4 big auctions a year. he has a dedicated following. he told me he has 3000 people on his email list that he contacts before he does an auction! he can get way above average prices for records just because people like buying from him. plus, i can't think of another ebay seller who mirrors my own listening tastes more exactly. its uncanny. most of what he sells is stuff i either own or would want to own.

Thanks for the tip - i'll keep an eye out. Holy shit - he has some nice records. I'd be envious of his lifestyle if he was coming into my store with my wife!

Back to Morninglory though, this l.p is by a different band to the Jelly Gas Flame folks. Its called Growing - on Toya records - 1972.

oh even cooler. i love that label. i don't have that one though.

oh right not my wife his wife. need more coffee...

his wife is REALLY really patient.

As a typo, that's the talkover intro to an awesome fillum.

i even need coffee to remind myself that i'm drinking tea and not coffee.

2012 is my tea year. been drinking a ton of tea every day. i think i feel better! plus, much more economical. 15 bucks sets me up for the month.

someone should totally buy that Hot Dogs lp he's got up there -- only 5 bucks (pre snipes of course.) great, great record

I mentioned this before on ILV but I've bought from that dude a bunch of times. it *is* cool to buy a bunch of records at once, get a big package in the mail, and "save on shipping" and all of that, but yeah his auctions usually end way pricier than others. Plus, he makes it awful hard on a sniper like me because all of his auctions end within like seconds of each other! How does he do that? Is there some way to like batch upload a bunch of auctions at once?

on the other hand, he may be missing out on even higher prices precisely because he might be cutting on sniper types who want to bid on multiple auctions ending at the same time. unless, I guess, they use automated programs, which I gather are out there? I don't know, I do it all by hand. I'm old school. it keeps my hand-eye coordination sharp.

yeah you can have all your auctions go up at once. i think. i don't do it. he's a really nice guy. always buys a ton from me. his aesthetic is uncannily like my own. i actually get a kick out of seeing stuff he bought for a buck from me going for 10 bucks or more.

my beef with him is that he'll never sell me anything that he has in his car! car just loaded with boxes of treasure. my kind of treasure anyway.

haha i just came to this thread to talk about vinylty.

someone should buy this record--

i have it already, and if it stays under 10 it's def worth it imo.
