  • Is this gangster or serial?
  • I still listen to this regularly on the west coast. It's my favorite collection of sabbath ever. Thanks to dudes for putting it on.
  • I put out my sale bins when I have garage sales, mostly stuff priced at $3-15. I have some regular local buyers that see my sale and come by every time. I cut them deals at about 70% of the listed price. I sell about $100-200 worth each time. What a…
  • It was 1996 and I had just moved from San Diego to Santa Cruz. Musically it was a move from punk to Bay Area themed hip hop. I was bright eyed and absorbing a new culture. The evolution of hand writing to newly developed handstyles is interesting. …
  • Damn, for someone who's ranting about being so laid back and content, "Retired" sure comes off as uptight and unhappy. You made a profession out of digging. That doesn't make you any more entitled to be happy than anyone else. Sure there are tons of…
  • I have 3 airport expresses hooked up to older hi-fi stereos in my living room, record room, and lounge/kitchen. and have been relatively happy. My main receiver runs two rooms, so I can run 4 rooms at one time. The interface is very handy running ev…

  • What came first, the Pollo or the Meggs?
  • So many records are getting reissued lately. I've seen the price of a lot of my higher dollar records get cut in half when the reissue drops. There are a few I regret selling in hindsight. I would never pay as much as I sold them for though.
  • I go to sleevecity to get the clear ones.
  • I bicycle about 50-80 miles per week. I need fuel for the thigh fire and what that thigh fire needs is more mexican eggs.
  • I cure this by regularly deleting MP3s and selling records that I'm tired of listening to. It makes my collection seem manageable and fresh. I also belong to a private torrent site that keeps my MP3s new. Just this morning I got the new 2015 Mobb De…
  • Mexican scrambled. Sautee some Herdez Salsa Casera with some chopped up serrano pepper and butter. Add whipped eggs with a little milk salt and pepper. Add cilantro at the end. Mix with chilaquiles and refried black beans. I coul…
  • HarveyCanal said: Fair enough, but I'm not seeing how Ghostface has necessarily changed up his style over time. To me, his rapping today is basically the same as it was in the 90's. I liked it then and still like it now. Maybe it's me that…
  • HarveyCanal said:CBear said: Ghostface gets the gasface in the 2010s from me. 12 Reasons to Die is somewhat of a masterpiece to me. It's not quite Supreme Clientele level as a full on RZA-produced, Wu Tang product. But the beats (and t…
  • I've checked every GhostFace album in the 2010s and they've all got the delete. Action Bronson on the other hand has had lots of staples that have stayed in regular rotation, Especially Blue Chips 1 & 2. I was really excited for the badbadnotgoo…

  • I use a carbon fiber brush just like the picture above for regular use. I think mine is sleeve city brand. When I first get records, they go through a VPI vacuum cleaner before they get sleeved if they are dirty.
  • In high school it was OE for the dudes and boone's farm strawberry hill for the ladies. In college it was a 6-pack of Bohemia and a Super Burrito from Jalapenos. These days, it's Tecate when I'm thirsty and things like this when I want to drin…
  • Even though I've had about 10k come and go, I keep my collection at about a 1,000, sorted by genre as I like to listen to them. The genre subsections are not sorted, as I usually like the randomness when I pull. Records that I like to put on …
  • I used to keep a paint ball gun by my front door when I had a civic SI a long time ago. People used to try to steal the engine parts all the time. When the car alarm would go off at 2am I would grab the paintball gun and light the kids up. It was pr…
  • Also, does anyone have any experience selling bottles of wine online? I need to sell a couple magnums that skyrocketed in price and don't know if there is a good site to do that on.
  • I have a Lagavulin Double Matured that I'm liking quite a bit. Does anyone fusks with the Costco Kirklands? I have an 18 year sherry cask from them that's pretty darn good for the price.
  • Check Amazon for reviews. There's a Bose Indigo set that gets good reviews. I typically avoid bose stuff, but I have a pair of their wired earbuds and they are great. The beats headphones are crappy and overpriced.
  • I saw a Soma Smoothie ES the other day and got verbally excited about it due to watching this build. The guy heard me and came to tell me how much he loved his bike. Those 80's Miyatas are great and that one looks crazy clean and nice. I went…

  • My wife heard me playing a song the other day and said, "Turn that off, the singer sounds like Pearl Jam, I can't stand it. I never want to hear anything that sounds like his voice again." PJ really got a lot of radio play in San Diego. The l…

  • That Citibike reminded me that I picked this up at a garage sale. I thought I would re-sell it, but it fits so nicely in my trunk and I can knock out 5 miles on this Dahon no problem. It just looks ridiculous, but I'm married and getting old. …

  • 11 years currently. I used to have a 3 year rule before that, but I was young. This position suits me.
