Maybe I'm the only one but I've always loved the Kenny Rogers Roasters episode. As for quotes, there are just so many greats but for me one of the best is: "We're collectors. We see things of great beauty and...we must have them."

Lauryn Hill...specifically "Ex-Factor." Even though when Miseducation dropped my tastes were not so much inclined towards R&B/Soul/etc..., I can still remember "That Thing" being played heavily for awhile and the cool video for "Everything Is E…

Impossible to pick just one "happiest ever," but this immediately came to mind:

Figured someone would have posted this by now: I can't be the only one who loves this, right?

This kinda doubles as a January Finds post: Bassie--that Freddie Scott LP was one of my favorite finds from December. Good to see someone else enjoying it, too.

Major cosign on Total Wine and Binny's. I don't know the one in Vegas but there's a Total Wine that's literally a stone's throw from the PA border in Claymont, DE. I think half the Philly metro must get their booze there. Great for stocking…

Working: Philips 212 (my "daily driver") My dad's early 80s JVC Vestax portable A late 40's/early 50's Zenith (if I ever need to play 78s) Non-working: Late 50s RCA "briefcase" portable One that folds out of a big 40s Philco…

Just wanted to clarify--my wife's coworker's kids are OK, physically at least, but the thought of them being in that building literally just a few doors down from that massacre really gets to me. I can't imagine what the parents are going through. …

I'm not one to get into these political threads--really I just come here for the music--but I feel compelled to throw my two cents in here. I'm guessing nobody on the strut was closer to this incident than I was; Sandy Hook Elementary is about 10 m…

This is great and... bassie said: right there with Ernie and Bert 'Ante Up'! ...glad to know I'm not the only fan!

Also wanted to thank you for posting this mix. I probably played it 5 times thru the first day I downloaded it...really good stuff here. I couldn't get on eBay fast enough to get a copy of that Johnny & The Expressions. Trying to figure…

Never found anything but crap at a Goodwill until today... All the Jackie Wilsons are sealed as is the Basie. Everything else is NM or darn close...even if some of these aren't really my bag they were way too clean to pass up for buc…

Great to see Joe Bataan being discussed on the front page here. I kinda slept on Joe for years then picked up "Under The Streetlamp" on 45 at the flea market this summer, which led me to look into his catalogue and...WOW. So much amazing stuff, es…

The Delacardos was one I took a gamble on not knowing the group, and I'm glad I picked it up. Really digging both sides, especially the B-side: Attached files

From two Sundays ago...on my way to Houston for business, I stop for lunch at a Whataburger in Winnie, TX and notice a flea market going on across the street. Sure enough, amongst the metal chickens and custom university colors cornhole sets someon…

Highlights from the last couple weeks plus the Hesitations (awesome album!) from this morning's flea market. Attached files

Flea market was grueling this morning, with not a lotta records and just enough rain in the beginning to delay dealer setup and keep things unpleasant. After passing it by twice finally in desperation I dug through a big messy stack (records piled …

Since nobody else has I'll chime in. I'm not from the area but usually get to spend a week there every year for business. As I don't get a ton of free time there my list isn't very ambitious, but here's what I try to hit up: 1) Go to Dusty …

From last week, when I was in Omaha for work. First photo is stuff I found in Old Market during a free hour or so the day I got into town. Been looking for that Jackie Wilson 45 for like two years, couldn't believe when it appeared in front of me …

The flea market was good to me this morning...unfortunately for the most part those latin titles look cooler than they sound. The stuff in the first photo, though, I can't complain...been looking for that Tyrone Davis LP basically since the day I s…

Frank, thanks for all the info! That was above and beyond. Definitely some additions to my want list here. Of course that Tirogo LP isn't even listed on popsike so I suspect it's unattainably rare...all the more reason to appreciate this m…

Had to bump this one back to the front...I really hope more than half a dozen folks have listened to this. This mix is fantastic! Just drove out to Omaha and back for work and got a chance to listen to it a bunch of times. (And I just have …

Nah, it's totally on 45...the B-side of "I've Got a Feeling (You're Gonna Be Sorry)," Okeh 7227. It's definitely one of Billy's rarer 45s and once it was on my want list I waited months for a copy to even appear on the 'bay. Even then,…

Just went through this thread and listened to everything I didn't already know...awesome stuff here, guys. Big cosign on "Try Love Again," one of my favorite flea market 45 pickups of the year. Duderonomy--that Brokenchord track remind…

Wow...even as a very little dude around here I feel tremendously sad to hear this news. As one of the creators of Soul Boulders 2, Matthew was responsible for leading me to the Strut and a whole world of record/music knowledge beyond my wildest dre…

Been really enjoying this lately: Just copped the Hanky Panky LP at the flea market recently and this track surprised me. Wish it was a 45 B-side though...

Some 45 highlights... Top 4 got in trade, Larry Davis (fantastic blues 2-sider) and Ron & Candy I picked up at the legendary Rooky Ricardo's in SF. Gene Faith (incredibly good both sides) and Intruders were cheapo snags from eBay, and th…

Karlophone--unbelievable haul! That's like more records than I've picked up in the last two years. Devoglam--also very impressive stuff. I haven't posted in a finds thread in a few months--I missed a bunch of flea markets due to traveling--but I'…

Wow, am I the only one who rides for "Diamonds are Forever"? I'd rather listen to that than "Goldfinger." Seriously, while "Goldfinger" might be THE iconic Bond song I think DAF is a better song and it stands alone without having to throw the Bond…
