  From a local shop..
  
  Top Left - The Marketts.  I swore I wouldn't buy a record just for a drum break.  California Sun starts with an uptempo break... i hesitate... middle of song, another break.... ok but I'm not gonna do it.... song ends with a drum break again. I say no and put the record back.  About a minute later I say fuck it, it's 6.99, and put it in the stack.  
  
  Paul Horn.  Worth it for the cover alone. I googled the lady that came up with the design. I'd like to know the back story on this. Like why this is the art they would come up with for music that doesn't appear to have anything to do with our lord Satan.  In the liner notes Paul says he heard some music from a brazilian guy and said "I must have him", and so they went out and got him, and this was the result.  A lot of Paul Horn records are super boring flute music, but this one is wild. In a good way.  And it was cheap, so i'm not mat.
  
  Throb.  What is that thing in the middle though? Buttcheecks?
  
  Hotel Hello - Album Art that's just a picture of a sunset is a real thing.  It's almost as if they want the album to be ignored so they make the cover as boring as possible. They could take notes from the Paul Horn cover lady.  Anyways, I've been trying to hunt down music that is like 'ambient jazz'.  spaced out, pretty... I'm not sure how to describe it or if is even a genre.  But there are a few cuts on here that are EXACTLY what I'm looking for. 'Vashkar' is amazing.  So is 'Impromptu' and 'Sweeping Up'.  The album is on spotify too.
  
  Labelle - Solid funky soul with multiple denim outfits on the cover. And yeah, it's actually Patty Labelle.
  
  Billy Hart - Enchance.  Most of this album is headache inducing free jazz.  Not my thing.  But I bought for one song - "Rahsaan is Beautiful", presumably named for Rahsaan Roland Kirt.  This is another 'ambient jazz' piece that is absolutely gorgeous.  I will pay 4.99 for an album with only 1 good song.  I'm looking for more like this so if anybody has any recommendations please let me know.

  Not bad for the local swap meet. It was vintage clothes day. They even had a DJ playing and he wasn’t bad at all. This is the first time I’ve been to a swap meet in a decade.

  Been after that Exorcism record for a min! Can never find it for a decent price. 

  I was digging through 45s at Cactus Records and one of the guys started playing it on the system in the back area. I grabbed it quick after hearing that first track.

  Hells yeah. I wish there was more satanic funk around.  Especially around Halloween.  

  
  

  Seems like heavy metal white kids had the market cornered on Satan there for a while.

  

• Nightmare on My Street. I have questions.

  "It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right

  And we had just gotten back off tour last night

  So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy

  If we summoned up the posse and done rushed the movie"

  
  

  Will and his friends go see the movie on Saturday night, and then he goes home, goes to sleep, and then has his nightmare.  At least he thinks it was Saturday night, he even admits he’s not sure.
  
  "I got Angie, Jeff got Tina, Ready rock got some girl I'd never seen in my life".  He doesn't even remember her name.  This is important later.  Anyways, he has his whole nightmare, and Freddy chases him around and stuff but then he is saved by his alarm clock.

  
  

  "Tried to get me, but my alarm went off and then silence...

  It was a whole new day I thought

  "Huh, I wasn't scared of him anyway"

  Until I noticed those rips in my sheets

  And that was proof that there had been a nightmare on my street"

  
  

  This means that he had set his alarm to wake up on Sunday morning for some reason.  Maybe he wanted to go to church. Or, maybe it wasn’t Saturday night after all and today is Monday.  We also don’t know what time the alarm went off but he says “it was a whole new day” implying that the sun has come up.

  
  

  Anyways, he feels like he better warn Jeff, so he calls him.

  
  

  To which Jeff replies:

  
  

  "It three o'clock in the morning, what do you want?”

  
  

  "Jeff, Jeff, would you listen to me? Listen

  Whatever you do, don't fall asleep"

  
  

  Wait a second… 3 in the morning? Will JUST SAID that he woke up that it was a whole new day and that his alarm had gone off and that’s what woke him up. But now Jeff is saying that it is only 3 am.  Will is warning Jeff not to go to sleep even thought it is already sunday morning (or monday, or maybe even saturday).

  
  

  So what’s the deal? Is Will still dreaming? Did his alarm not go off after all? If so that means he isn’t really calling Jeff and Will is still in danger because he is still trapped in dream world.

  
  

  Then Freddy presumably kills Jeff and says “I’m your DJ now”.  Except that I think this is still Will’s dream, so Jeff is actually fine.  Or maybe they are both in a joint dream, Will never woke up, and Jeff really did get killed.

  
  

  What’s important is that Will doesn’t give two flying kung-fu FUCKS about Ready Rock C.  Even in 88 he was on his way out I guess.  Not even a phone call to warn him.  He couldn’t even be bothered to learn the name of the girl he took to the movies.  cold. We have no idea whatever happened to him.

  
  

  What I assume really happened (in real life I mean) is Jeff wasn’t really paying attention to Will’s raps and didn’t realize Will said it was sunday morning already.  So he blurts out that it’s three in the morning, but studio time is expensive so no need to do it again.  Or maybe nobody noticed at the time. If there is anybody out there who is in contact with any of them (including poor Ready Rock C) please reach out and get answers for me.
