Seriously, my girl spied some records at this house around the corner from where she lived. You could seem em inside the front door. Without missing a beat I'm like 'you're going over there to see if the guy wants to sell 'em.' Took a bit of work but a month or so later we're over there buying shit off dude. He used to be a DJ. His records were well worth the $1 a piece he charged us.
Oh yeahm, and it helps if your girl digs tha funk.
Ever.

I help her dig for clothes
in return she helps me with records
she doesn't know a lot but she pulled Archie Shepp Attica Blues for me out of nowhere, Georgia. She knows what I like, or if I ever mention something she always remembers.
TEAMWORK GUYS
LEARN FROM IT. you can't be digging islands all your life
for me and melady it's all about the thrift store. If she comes into a strictly record shop with me it's NO GOOOD. makes me feel like I gotta take a piss or something.
On the other hand, I have to give her big respect for having the deepest knowledge of early 90's RnB and G-Funk of anyone I've ever met-- swear to god. She's actually pretty good at catching samples too. She doesn't really snag records for me, but she remembers the joints and tells me to go find em. When I do, it's usually a revelation.
There are special cases and certain situations to this rule. Tim and I were both into records and digging when we met. Infact it was one of the biggest things that brought us together. We had a few little tiffs when we were diggin together in the early stages and one a made score over the other. But then we started pooling our money and began buying and selling together we didnt have that anymore. We still dig by ourselves on the regular and keep the stuff we want. we are always workinonit. Its important to rememember the important stuff.
There are several bonuses to working and digging together.
You have two sets of eyes, two wants lists, twice as fast ( digging wise we cover twice the area in half the time) Twice the man power, twice knowlege, two computers and half the work.
You dont have to sneak away on vacation or on saturday.
and Lunch is included.
dig for records

I just wanted to point out that I think this is amazing. Hold onto that woman, and never let her go.
i know girls like this, and its kind of embarassing to go up to the counter with them. except when they pay for my records too. then its a bonus.
LOL. Are you from Portland? Sounds like most of the hypster collectors here, male or female. They are probably everywhere though.
haha, no. Southern California. Oregon looks like a cool state to live in though. There's a lot of those down here, too. They're like Thora Birch's character in Ghost World, except with really bad taste and severe emotional and image issues.
This guy?
