have the following to report: I am now a married man. Nobody in the US can complain about record prices. 80 euro for VG james brown "payback" anyone? Plus there's a complete lack of european albums. I had the fantasy that I would be covered with a deluge of roman mussolini "mirage"s and sun-ra LPs on horo. My brother got me a 60 gig ipod for my wedding and it turned me into a bigger music snob than before. How long before I can play video on this thing?? Florence is too hot and filled with valley girl tourists in midriff shirts. Little children with delicate scottish accents who say "ello mummy" are adorable.

London was the best for records out of the 10 countries I visited.
Check the Camden market if you don't already know.

Congrats man![/b]
Wedding already happen?!?!??
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simulated echo of my call bouncing between mountain peaks....
I might make FL happen but probably not til l8r.
Screw record shops..... go to za beach. If you have time in Italy, you should seriously spend a day or two in Sienna. Beautiful, quiet, romantic. I remember hearing some organ-ish version of "When a Man Loves A Woman" coming through my hotel window 7 years ago when I was there with an X. it was dreamy and the fruti de mare was creamy.
YOW.
Check in when you get back.
Enjoy your trip and f*** a record store out there, go to an old church and a museaum.
why did you go to italy anyhow? everyone knows that there are no records in italy.
why don't you ask for a hook up? where are the italian soulstrutters? no eBay contacts? what's up with the pastafro**a guys or riveg**che? how about the hot gr**vy record store in bolo**na?
h*ve a nic* tr*p!!! going to italy is for girls, ice cream and pizza, not for records!
congrats on your wedding!
my melancholiness of last week just returned.
shit seems a long time ago.
GO TH*R* ANDREW *!*!*
That was the exact view from the hostel/nunnery we stayed at there. Gahdam, Siena is a good place.
Is the Palio soon? Should not be missed if you can squeeze in to that court. Watch a crazy bareback race wher at least 2 riders will fall off. I saw some dumbass try to give a galloping horse a hug. BAM.
Hey, Asp are you suggesting that he 'fuck' or 'find' a record store?
congrats, Ascrock. Id say spend the time with the wife. When she says its 'ok' to go record shopping, she be lyin'.
I am growing a beard and on Friday I'm going to rural Poland to meet my people on that side of the family, descendents of my great-grandfather's side.
We tried to go to Siena but there was a transportation strike and we got stranded at Empoli for hours in 90+ degree weather. In retrospect I'd dodge Florence next time around, it's filled with girls from the OC and the worldwide frat boy contingent who pursue them.
this sounds very stealth.
Take your pic.
And*ew, plaese to bring back manny Polish heat. Have a great time out there.
it's like everybody buy Jimmy Smith, but nobody buy any Jimmy McGriff
VISIT PESCARA !!! it is as good as Siena !!!!
Good luck meeting the family in Poland. My father's people are from Poland and while my grandfather, who emigrated after the war, swore red and blue murder that he would never step a foot in Poland again, I've long wanted to see the old country. Apparently his town is now an industrial park. Still, one day.
