peacefulrotation · November 2005

Damn, after seeing coolhands finds, perhaps someone else is gonna have to to cover the storefront next year!

That Ray Johnson got some crazy organ licks.

hcrink · November 2005

What's the King lp with the heart on the cover?

nrich · November 2005

fuck it, I'll blow my 1000 post to extoll the righteousness of the show.

First off, seeing folks was the best part of the show, strutters and otherwise, ya'll know who you are.
Got my dub shopping done in one spot from one of the coolest dudes in the planet... thanks again.
Met old friends and made new ones. Fantastic time.

Got enough dope 45's to kill a horse, scratched off mad wants... Gloria Walker, Esther Williams, Louis Chachere, Eddie Bo, Untouchable Machine Shop, Nu-Sound, obscure heaters, on and on and on. Enough dub to last 'til the next show.
Got some killer deals... Eddie Gale, Politicians, Victim of a Joke, Tortilla Factory, Little Joe and the Latinaires, Herb Geller, Pookah, tons of 12's.
Scoured the place before the general public got there lattes...

Took a bunch of pictures, I will post these up later.

1000 posts! woah

Where's the rest of ya'll???

RAJ · November 2005

Did you cut the title (lower left hand side) out of that pic on purpose? A couple killers on there.

lotusland · November 2005

selling was fun, made more sense to do that this time. still got to buy/trade nice things. dreamscape lp was the standout. alot of buyers would stop over by our table and show us what they got. that was prolly the highlight of the show. that and the metal 7" dealer who is basically giving me a copy of an insane modern 45.

definitely want to get back there for buying next time.

very nice to meet all of the strutters (i'm sure i met some lurkers as well)! hotel sessions were facemelting. food was delicious and cheap. . $2.50 breakfast at the litte mexi-dome connected to my econolodge was hot.

aleit · November 2005

i had a blast. but man it was exhausting. i need to start applying chris's method of leaving the show mid-day to catch a power nap.

better selling than buying but managed to splurge on a few and trade on a bunch of others. a few steals but no legendary tales of "did you hear that .... picked up ...... for only ..... $$$".

a great time was had by all at the show, swimming in margaritas, listening part at the hotel room- wish i had my camera on me for some blackmail photos of the new orleans squad.

here's some pics of a few things i found:

drewnice · November 2005

Congratulations, Ari! I know you've been after that one.

Now, plaese report to

lotusland · November 2005

"did you hear that .... picked up ...... for only ..... $$$".

andy picked up the blenders ltd on grayslak for $200.

shinya hosomi of "afro juice" picked up arthur monday "what goes around" on stage music for $750.

how good is the family circle lp? anything on it i'd flip over?? boogie??

lotusland · November 2005

Congratulations, Ari! I know you've been after that one.

Now, plaese report to

hell yeah. do it mang... and i'll sort you out with real headz action in about 2 weeks.

btw- played that afro 45 out yesterday.... puts the "mental" back in instrumental.

The_Hook_Up · November 2005

aliet...

how is that mondiophone side?...havent heard one of those I havent liked.

drewnice · November 2005

Ooof! I forgot, Ari either needs help recording to his computer, OR the record can be sent to me and I'll handle it.

aleit · November 2005

hey drew.... took a long time didn't it. listened to it this morning and it Sounded real nice- no boogie for you T*M, strictly sweet group harmony soul ca. '74. very nice stuff.

would love to join the REALHEADZ posts but still no capacity for recording sound... hell, i don't even have a stereo hooked up yet- today i can finally unpack my boxes in a home (not a hotel).

Hookup- Africadelic is Manu Dibango. Sounded cool when listening at Lotusland's hotel, really haven't sat down with it yet. Not fully my sound (library-esque) but I dig it nonetheless and glad to have it around.

T*M- you'll get tired of that african 45 and eventually trade it to me.

Good luck with your move!!!!!

aleit · November 2005

Ooof! I forgot, Ari either needs help recording to his computer, OR the record can be sent to me and I'll handle it.

this may be a case of waiting two years to find one and hear it.... just like i did.

djcoolhands · November 2005

coffinjoe · November 2005

but where are the monkey nuggetts ??

gulf coast collectors are fanny !!

billbradley · November 2005

I wish I could have stopped by for trades. I didn't because I knew that if I had stopped by I would have unloaded too much cash on records that would be available. I ended up skipping the convention all together this year in an effort to save money to buy my "new" car. This was my weekend find though...a 1956 oval window bug with 67K original miles.

Thanks. I can't wait for the car to finally show up in Austin, it is in Indiana right now.

I got my avatar from the "randompics" community on Livejournal.com. It was from something called "Patrick Duffy Special" by a guy named prguitarman. That guy always posts funny pictures.

Here are the links to all of that.
