have been thinking about this 45 I just got, Pauline Shivers "Boom Boom" on O-PEX as of late. Looking shit up online trying to figure out its providence. Cant find shit. Then as I sit here in the shop, actually thinking about dinner as I am fucking starving...it clicked on me outta nowhere...O-PEX is an anagram of EXPO...EXPO records has that PAULINE and Bobby "No Messin Around" 45...so its a Chicago record...case solved.

    For every record I own, there is probably over 10,000 records I will never own.

    Which.. for me is a good thing and a bad thing.

    OK, well get this. My girl is really into dreams and stuff right. So last year she finally convinced me to "incubate" records that i wanted but had not being able to find in my dreams. This basically involves a visualisation exercise as one is going to sleep, and it must be coupled with really believing that it's possible to attain said record. Believe me, for a long time I was resistant to this and had zero expectation that this would make any difference to anything.

    Fast fwd 6 months and I've done it about 5-6 times now, and in EVERY case, the record showed up within a couple of months. And now, I have 2 copies of ALL the records I incubated in dreams. And we ain't talkin about no CTI $2 terds here. One of the records in question appeared on ebay for the first time EVER one week after i did this exercise.

    Crazy.

    So yeah, I'm gonna be doing this more often now.

    DAMN I think what you did, I've been doing for the 2 years because every thing on my want list has been landing in my hands & for cheap. That dream thing really works.

    the power of the mind is so much greater than most of us recognize. it's all in your head.

    my own record epiphanies have been more like approaches to trancendance inspired by musical guidance. good music has crazy power over me, and that's truth.

    I know... take that shit to william-BLAKES.com

    My epiphany was recently when it dawned on me that J/G (Jamie/Guyden/Phil-LA of Soul) and Jay-Gee (Jubilee/Josie) were two different companies...

    b, 21b, 21This sorta happened to me recently. A couple days before the Santa Cruz record swap, this record that I had traded away years ago and never been able to replace randomly popped into my head. I bemusedly thought that I might catch it down in Santa Cruz...and I did. b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/whoa.gif" alt="" /1
