Big ups to Cool Chris and dude from Rooky Ricardo's for hooking me up with beer on recent digging trips.

    Now it's Thurday nights and the theme is "Who's better? early Kinks early Who or early Stones?"

    This was back before they moved, and more importantly, back before Chris had a kid and when Tony was still there full time.

    Those guys pulled me so many rock breaks I shingled my roof with records.

    sounds real to me, you seem new here and maybe unfamiliar with the varied and diverse taste of strutters.

    Dudes played me a Cambodian cover of "Nothing Is The Same" once. Shit was chonkeyfire.

    Yup,it's real. I remember hearing this on one of those nights too.



    But the real fun begins when Gregg Breth shows up.

    anyone who spends time looking through the lotusland "office" is at least getting a sixer. & the sackman now has his "office" immediately next to mine.

    then you have to climb our ladder tipsy.

    What year was that released? And was it actually Cambodian people playing?

    I'm feeling Cambodian Rocks version of "Hip Hug Her."


    I'm also feeling the "free beer at record store," as Alien & Rosshogg are well aware.



    Last time I went to the local spot, the man on the right hooked me up with 2-3 free Budweisers, my man Cowbwoy showed up and got one, two girls showed up and got some, and we all hung out for about an hour after closing.

    Of course, this may explain my purchasing of the Rihanna album in the same visit.

    I wanted to open a smoking annex in my shop. Smoke out all my customers first and THEN let them listen to some records (on good headphones). I think it would do wonders for my sales of Pink Floyd and King Tubby raers. Maybe I should move the shop to Vancouver or Amsterdam!
    I do have beer however if you happen to come in at closing and are of age.

    Props to Dr. D aka Dennis at American Pie records in Santa Barbara for all the free booze. He usually had about ten empties on his "counter" by 3 in the afternoon. I used to actually make beer runs for him and stamp Vietnam vet association mailers for the discounts. DR D all day.

    I went to a record store in Detroit one of my first times there. He knew we was friends of a friend of his so he says to us when we get there.

    "You wanna smoke down before we get started?"

    nice. Thank you sir.

    Vertigo out in Grand Rapids always gives me beer and pizza on monday nights.

    great memory for sure. thanks again man.

    A related story.
    A Dj friend of mine from New Zealand got a job a few years ago with a record store in San Francisco that most of us know. Being an illegal alien he knew he was going to paid under the table. On his first day of work the owner asked him how he wanted to get paid. "Do you want money, weed or records?" was the question. "A little of all three," he replied.

    man, i used to make the trip there at least every other week, and he'd always give me some of whatever he was eating, but never any beverages. i miss that spot.

    I tipped back 3 old styles the other day with Boomer at Hyde Park Records. It was around 4 PM, and it felt fucking great.

    I bought a few hundred bucks of Electro/Old School Hip-Hop 12"s at this store in Mannheim, Germany. It was the guy from Knightz Of Bass, Moe's store. Anyhow, the staff cracked open a St. Ides 40oz for me and my homie and poured it out in plastic cups like it was champagne! hahah! Funny guys...

    peace.
