haha, that's hilarious! it's so true that after the mad
blitz of the last 48 hours, my energy to shoot wax is low ...
had a blast in NY - 2 days of mad gripping, saw a great film,
saw the Sonics reunion at Cavestomp Friday night, saw a Rangers
vs Devils OT thriller from incredible seats, drank massive Saporros
while Chairman Mao, Jared B, Mr. Fine Wine, and Dante C played
some of the illest dance floor sounds imaginable. Extra props for
Impressions "We're a Winner" in the mix, didn't catch who dropped
that one, but wondered if it was a Drew Nice request. Shook hands
with mad Struttiers/Waxidermistes but didn't get to hang too much
due to the mad schedule. Mike B was definitely in the house though,
along with Coffin Joe, JP, Drew, and a gang of other heads I met
or recognized. Dropped mad money but stacked up some damn fine records,
especially some real nice copies of some serious wants.
Daylight savings time fucked up my return! Had a 3:15AM train, showed up
thinking it was quarter of 3, but it was only quarter of 2 and I was FADED
had to lay around Penn Station for 90 minutes barely conscious ... big shout
to Pete Gunn for buying drinks and having my back at Madison Square Garden,
as well as pulling out the surprise pre-game trees
I'll post up finds later tonight, I'm gonna start listening to stuff
so that's when the photo session can go down.
Oh, and my David Crosby tee was good for a laugh, getting some people bummed
out and others were into it, but caught like 20 random comments not just
at FMU but all over the streets of NYC. Good times.
was gonna roll through good on friday, but had to haul ass to make the chinatown bus.
lets see some pics!!!!
i got a couple records to floss...but my wallet was LIIIIIGHT on the way home.
guess which one i dropped lot of money on? (ikeyc wasnt cheap either)
this lot cost me about $40. definitely a couple dollar bin miracles.
also had a copy of african headcharge from coffinjoe, that i had to trade to enable another important purchase.
my first transaction of the day was in tompkins square park. i saw a chick with a nice bike, sporting 3 baskets. i told her the shit was thorough and she leveled an equally complimentary remark at my bike. after a couple test spins, we traded bikes.
thats all
That David LP (I think it's from New Mexico) has 1 or 2 killer cuts on it.
anyways, pics fo that ass
and some hip hop for good measure.
after i got smoked up (thank you again, soulstrut) i started chilling at tables and listening to things and taking chances on weird shit. David was sealed and dude had $75 on it...i was feeling the vibes exuding from the front and back (yes, i was high) and i tried to see if the dealer knew anything about it. nope. so i bought a couple other fivers (all the other rock...minus dollar bin dubarri) and got it for $40...something i probably wouldnt have done sober!!! but i'm happy. something new to listen to.
when i'm lifted around intereting looking dollar bins, i usually bring home some REAL dumb shit (and usually a keeper or two)
heres some of the heat.
i took a little gasp for air when i read "weldon irvine"....i pictured you going all out and laying out 500 for the time capsule someone had on display.
ike turner and affinity!! classic combo!! haha...had em in my hands for a second.
dust yourself is a surprsingly elusive record. ive had it 3 times in a decade and a half.
whats those to the right of eddie gale and to the left of shakara?
looks like you got a LOT of good listening ahead of you.
jackie mittoo? I just copped that from paycheeks a few weeks back and its such a solid record.
rick, can do...i'll report back this week
yeah, got it real cheap from cofinjojo, but the part of the cover yo usee is all there is to see...purposefully covered up. still...nice record! took a nice long get-rid-of-digger-dust shower and listened to side-A
that God Squad shit on Rare Earth is one of my favs. just dope to listen to.
Hit up the Dolphin Bong table first thing Saturday AM and got
the Ron Elliot, which I've been on the make for, plus a couple
other stoner joints. Bettye Swann YES PLAESE. Hearts & Flowers
another longtime want, although not the greatest copy.
Os Caculus is a later press, but the Tropicalia is a super clean OG.
Tons of Brazilian heat to be had. Although the two things I was ready to
drop $$$ on, Quem et Quem or some Toni Tornado, didn't turn up.
The reggae joints are pretty flacked, but were cheap OG's and I feel like
I'm conditioned to listen to noisy reggae records, so it's all good to me.
I didn't pull any dollar-bin miracles at the show, but anything I paid
well for I got hi-grade copies. The Millenium and Fifty Foot Hose are
near-perfect, and I was glad to pay well for keepers - but still got
a few good deals, that Billy Butler is a real nice copy, I felt $40
was more than fair. I never feel ripped-off at FMU (although people
try) but just rarely find some amazing bargain. I'm not in dollar bins
much, though - unless it's 45's.
I got about 40-50 of those. I'll take some flicks when I play 'em.
nah i saw the time capsule and thought $500 was a pretty fair price. that would have pretty much knocked me out for the rest of the weekend though.
benn wanting the ike and affinity for a while, i think i'm going to have to mint up in the future though.
records in question are som nosso de cada dia(brazilian psych) and francoise hardy lp
Love the Bettye Swann... and, damn, she looks good in that cover pic.
I picked up Lee Moses and Heartstoppers LPs (no pics).
Mega heat I seent:
East Of Underground
Ray Alexander Technique (sealed)
Gentle Rain "Moody"
Wayne McGhie
DR Hooker (sealed)
Pay the cost, be the boss, etc etc etc
maybe you should have sponsored someone?
those baskets are the perfect size for both toto and nico gomez ritual.
can we get a photo of the bike w/ 7 minutes of funk posing?
I wish I had the time to make it down. Spring show for sure this year. I have discretionary income burning a hole in my pocket.
BTW: I need a copy of that Ray Alexander. Who's holding?
I don't think the odorous one could even show his face at this event...
i was there w/ my rosemary scents, what are you talking about?????
