Stinky Stevie Stories??

Hey young world...$?? testing the waters here on SS.Wondering if people here can share their fav. Stinky Stevie encounters, answering machine messages, pics, etc. For those not on the know, Steve is a legendary record dealer on the east coast, not only for his curious bathing habits but just about everything else. I've scored a bunch of shit from him over the years, but, to put it lightly, he is more than crazy. He's filled up my entire cell phone voice mail a few times when he gets irate. He has been known to invoke the Hersey Chocolate Company, the Mob, the Italian Consulate, and many other things to threaten you. When he got banned from the FMU fair the shit was bananas, I never heard the end of it.Currently he's wanted by the FBI because of unpayed parking tickets. My question is how many fucking parking tickets to you need to have the friggin' FBI after yer ass.He's missing teeth, a vegan (wears cloth shoes, belt, etc), former bodybuilder, a health nut, probably a former junkie, regulary sleeps in his car, and definitely knows his shit, especially jazz, soul, etc. Back in the day you could get over on funk with him but he's way more savvy now. When selling to A1 or Sound Library he would regularly be on the phone with another dude, telling him all the titles/prices, etc.He can be a riot, super articulate, used car salesman of the year. He's coined classic terms like 'Instantaneously Superrich'. I.e., 'If you want to be instantaneously superrich, you should buy this collection from me', even tho this shit is some run over beat down common soul singles. He can say some really, really off the wall shit.A few stevie scoreds over the years (all for way below retail):Weldon Irvine 'In Harmony'Del Jones 'Positive Vibes' 24 Karat BlackImpeach the prezClifford Jordan 'Glass Bead Games'Willie Colon 'El Malo' (goldin' up indeed)Anyways if folks have stories I'd love to hear them. I need to dig my some tapes and would be down for trading answering machine tapes, if you have them.Also, check Triple Double n' Diplo's AEIOU #1 mix, cassette only foolz. They blend the beginning Minnie's Les Fleur over a Stinky Steve answering message where's he's going off on how everyone should take off their clothes and have orgies in the streets.

what up small change?!
welcome to the board man.
i hope prime cuts tells the story how stinky steve gave him the
prime and i have a whole stack of guys we buy from. these include, but are not limited to: half cigar guy, stinky steve, samurai mike, nicky no pants, psychedelic cigarette rolling guy, the root down guy, classic rock is raer man, and my personal favorite: big gay joe. maybe i'll start a thread about people you buy records from. they are all characters.
"AEIOU cassette- Philadelph-I-A represents again with this joint by my man Tony Larson. Now being pumped hard at spots like The Sound Library, this tape features not only a heavy dose of drugs (sick records... come on, you know the Soulman slanguage by now, don'tcha?), but also a classic monologue by infamous record dealer Stinky Steve! Hearing the deep philosophies of the smelly one plus hot beats is an invincible combo. Stinky gets 5 mics, no question... we're waiting on that Stinky Steve solo debut now, Tony!"

Yeah, I hope we do well this weekend. It's already snowng heavy and they're
predicting more on the weekend. If that happens, we're gonna take a bath on
the room and tables.
You'll find nasty dealers just about anywhere. Luckily, the majority of the
ones who do our shows are pretty cool. There is one guy, with a beret no
less, who has all the cool stuff but outrageous prices. He brings so many
goddamn crates he spreads like a disease. Despite his high prices, he always
does well at our shows.
A couple of shows ago we had two video/DVD dealers get in a fistfight over
who owned a Beatles bootleg performance first.
The first dealer had it on VHS and claimed to have spent $1200 cleaning it
up in a professional studio. The second dealer got a hold of said video and
transferred it to DVD to sell.
Umm, guys? Neither one of you is supposed to have it. Understand? No? Good,
knock each other out. It was one of the funniest sissyboy slapfights I've
ever seen. In fact, the only one come to think of it.
I'm mainly shocked by the attendees, but I've been doing them for so long
nothing really shocks me anymore. I just get sickened by the smells.
At last week's Second Saturday Record Show in Wayne, an infamous scumbag
dealer nicknamed Stinky Steve (who lives in his car) took a dump in the
parking lot, scooped it up with an album and sleeve, then put it in his car.
Aaack!!!![/b]
John"
haha, saying!!!!
I gotta say I love the stinky steve thread. This guy's a classic! Movie worthy! I definatley was feelin the
He didn't set up or anything--rather he was just doing his rounds of buying stuff from people. He first started his rounds at the flea buying up video tapes (???) then came back to peruse for records.
He came by my table, which was split between myself and Eric Z. (Crashcourse)--and yeah--he spent a good solid hour looking through all our stuff (inspecting each one to death). After he purchased some goods from crashcourse he started perusing through my goods.
At some point during this time he took off his sweater (which was layered over another sweater). Things were wrapping up at the flea market and some college age emo kids come through asking about whose sweater it was on the table that was next to mine. I was wrapped up in trying to pack things away.
A few minutes later, once Steve is done dealing with me he asks, "where is my sweater?"
He looks around a bit and goes, "someone stole my sweater! what the hell?"
he starts mubling things.
it was sad and funny.
sad because i actually felt for the guy (and offered him one of the leftover vintage coats i was selling) --
and halarious because the hipster that stole the sweater would never ever want anything to do with it if he only knew who it belonged to!!!
really---
more proof that hipsters like to dress like homeless people. incredible.
also--i tried to find steve to give him the coat i told him he could have---but i couldn't find him.
the stinky mis-adventures of stinky steve had struck again!
paging brian digenti.....
i believe i had a conversation with tripdub about this once.
sometimes scooping up your dump with an album sleeve is hot shit.
this is more of an observation than a story.
change, you forgot that he is also self proclaimed "master eroticist" (aleit aludes to this)
ive seen how that man lives. very very odd.
i got more stories about that dude than i could fit inside the realm of reality and i know for certain that every record head in philly (and probably the tristate) has countless more that i havent even heard. truly legendary. i thought he jumped the shark on the record tip, but you can never count him out. i hope he is two steps ahead of the cops.
yes, in a storage warehouse full of porno...
what's up,chizzo... wasn't public shitting the source of the riff between you and "nick"?
on a Mac, it's option-4: ??
on a PC I have no idea, you could just copy and paste this one: ??
While we were there, we had to stand in the middle of these huge piles of records trying to browse them, not able to move much because they might fall. (It would have been impressive if they had been in the basement of a record shop run by sane people) The records were clearly in no order, but sometimes Steve would suddenly say "Stop! Don't do that!" and start alphabetising the records. He was swift, but sometimes it took him 15 minutes to sort a big pile of records, during which no one could move away, forced to stand next to him and experience The Stink.
Tony's Thanksgiving story is my favorite.
on a PC, you hold down the alt key and type in 0162. Wholla.
someone who played way too many computer games taught me that trick.
read you loud and clear. However, you've shut your comlink off like C3PP. I can't send you PMs back capt. Switch thy settings.
