He is neither drunk nor brain damaged. He is just like that
I'm impressed he's making the rounds so much.

K. HAHAHAHA! it is. Raj, you rember that dude?? we kept calling him Waylan Smithers cause he had an extensive barbie collection at his crib.
You should have come just for the photo op.
T*m,
I can see it now....me, you Scott and VB sitting around at 80 turning a new generation of diggers on to insane sounds and reminiscing like "Remember when we could get a lb. of good smoke for $500"......"Remember when you could find Raers at every Goodwill"........"Remember when all the collectros thought I was the man"........."Remember when I was a man"
See you in a week or so......lemme know when you want to crash here.

be intrepid in richmond parking lots
I was so deep in those Jamaican 45s, I didn't even notice any girl(s).

Yep, that's Denis all right. Nice enough guy but he always treated me badly. I don't miss him at all.

Nope, no Barbies for me. Just some "I was in Utrecht before you were born so I everything about everything" attitude. Bullshit. I was buying Electric Ninja Groups sealed from his store for ten bucks a pop before he bought a computer and started charging GEMM prices for everything. When I left Montreal third pressings of crappy RCI titles (ie that violin jazz LP) were $75.
Caught some good records at his store, but with plenty of time spent.

yup, dude cracks me up !
finding it sold out, they came all the way to richmond
driving past shows in springfield nj, pittsburgh pa & balto md,
any one of which would have been closer & better for them
barbie doll dude sets up at fmu & utrecht, complains he can't make money there
(what's wrong with this picture ?)
he was only buying this weekend
his buddy the drunk (i know he wasn't this time,
but he was hitting the red vino hard at the last 2 shows when i had to deal with him)
is funny !
mesh, i would have bought you a record & the parking lot was safe, no sign of delay about
yes there were several lady diggers, lucky me, they were buying reggae
(even pulp fiction girl)
rich, i couldn't think of three better geezers to hang & discuss the good old daze with
pencil me in for next weekend, 35 years from now !
this was not so good
Those dudes had some good stuff that you don't see down here that often. Prices were OK. Every record I picked up, the "drunk" was mumbling something about how fucked up sounding it was and that I'd love the fucked up stuff. Finally, he ran me off with his fuckeduptedness. Not before I pulled a copy of Can "Soundtracks." The Barbie dude was eating Ukrops bologna and American "cheese" on white bread burger buns. I thought Quebfrogs had good taste in coldcuts and bread. NO?
Cosign.....
Thanks again T*m for the 45s and the
my limit was $10 and i ended up getting there too late to come up on anything super duper good, but it was a chill lil show.
Quebfrogs. I like that.
Admittedly, I only spent five years in Quebec, so take the following opinion with a grain of salt.
A visit to Montreal will reveal that Quebec has a rich and unique culture which is at times tremendously refined. Walking through the city you will be charmed by bistros, chic restaurants, shops, and cafes. If you're so minded, you'll enjoy the the galleries, theatres, and concert venues. Montreal sure is great!
On your second visit, or maybe your third, you decide to venture out of the downtown. Maybe you're looking for a record shop off the beaten path or you've got friends who live on the south shore. Regardless, you venture into the Island's suburbs or, better yet, Laval or Longeuil (to say nothing of the rest of the province). You will quickly find yourself amongst people thrilled with wonderbread, disgusting cold cuts, and processed cheese. In Montreal, people refer to mullets as a coup longeuil after the suburb which made it famous. This should give you some idea of the real character of the province. I'm not making a value judgement here, although I won't hide that wonderbread and the values it embodies are not my bag, I'm merely trying to convey that the majority of Quebeckers are not what you see when you get down in Montreal. They like Celine Dion, they're not so tolerant of differences, the pour maple syrup of white bread and call it dessert, and they get drunk and go snowmobiling (although this happens everywhere in Canada).
Whilst yall were busy checking out Hiro and Denis, Motherfucking George Lucas gets his dig on.
I can just see him pulling the Jedi mind trick and copping raers for dollarbin prices.
i almost cropped him out of the photo
but
how could diss the man who brought us Captain EO ??
