  • ... and btw, thank you to everyone in this thread for the compliments. It really means a lot to me.

    I truly couldn't do this without your support. I am always working hard to make the shop better, so look forward to continuous schitt for 2007 and beyond.

    I haven't been to your shop yet, which is wackness, I could probably scratch a few random wants off my list. I haven't been to NYC in 2 years for that matter. I need to get down there, but the people, MY GOD THE PEOPLE!!!! Too many.

    I'm curious about how much loot I would drop at Good Records. How much would I leave in the cash register if I pulled out the following:

    Ramones - St sire m-
    Coltrane - live at the village vanguard again impulse/abc m-
    Jimmy Cliff - the harder they come mango vg+

    This is a joke right? If not, it's a new low of record nerdery.

    What is so funny about trying to gauge prices at a boutique record shop? It is a cost/time analyst of digging through crates of shit for 5 hours vs. walking into a shop and pulling out these three records in 30 minutes.

    Those are pretty random requests but I'm happy to oblige. NM copies of those records would go for (in order) $15, $12, $8 in my shop.

    But he needs to know what you would charge for them in M-, M- & VG+ condition, respectively.

    Don't dawdle, son--he's got trip.com open in another window as we speak!

    Thanks for the info Paycheck. Those are fair prices unlike the prices I saw at another shop in NYC. I knew it was a wasted cab ride when I saw the $20 copy of Ramsey Lewis's Salongo. Faux rills- I can care less if you jag me for putting the condition of those example records. What let me guess is that too much of a little dude move in your private mind garden chump?

    Be honest, now: On slow days, do you ever--in the reflection of a still-sealed something or other--sexually harrass yourself? Just a little?

    "You're looking very well today, Jonathan...No, no, you can finish the recepts later...My, that certainly is a handsome t-shirt...The brown is very fetching..."

    You don't have *any* employees? What do you do on days when you're off "not finding" records?

    No; I do catch myself smoking reefer in the bathroom on occasion though. I generally just take the remaining stash for myself and look the other way, though...

    wouldn't you feel just a smidge guilty about buying records at full price from a guy who isn't frying up fish and telling tales of his local black experience?

    Do you ever call-in sick to yourself? Like hang upside down off of the bed and be like *cough*Yo...Tariq..It's Johnny*sniffle*

    I think I'd rather buy LPs that have a "fried catfish" smell instead of the dreaded "pony smell".

    Mmmmm....fried catfish......

  • you're more apt to get records with jerk chicken or stewed fish smell round these parts..

    Still laughing at this.


    But you should really know how to spell his name by now.

    Word.

    C'mon man, that "not finding records" comment was for you.

    Many thanks for the rec everyone. Small shop but oh so much fire. I could practically close my eyes, reach into the racks, and come out with something I was looking for or something I didn't even know I wanted yet. Prices were very fair, and even the bargain boxes on the floor were stacked with the hot shit. I had to watch my budget because I'm moving in a week (always an expensive propsition), but if I had the bankroll I could've easily spent 10 times what I did in the same amount of time.

  • You didn't even mention the ribs I cooked for you, and how I told you the name of the girl down the road.

    Did you just buy records? Or did you consort with the oracle of all that is funk culture commodified?
