    OG SoulStrutter HARVEYCANAL sent me a message this morning and said he'll be coming over with a box of records.

    Say Hi to Harv.  Dude was/is his own dude and I enjoyed his poasts however mental he was/is.

  • Did I break a record store code of conduct?

    Tell him it was marginally more hygienic than peeing on the records.

    If he gives you backchat, tell him you payed more in taxes this year than he will earn in his entire lifetime.

    If it makes you feel any better, I had a similar plight in Portinatx in Ibiza, whereby one lunchtime after foolishly consuming liberal quantities of seafood and Torres Vina Sol in the hot sun, I was stood with the family waiting for the bus back when the pressing need to "Roll a 2" came over me.  I am talking about "Non-negotiable".

    I thus headed into the empty bar across the road at pace, and did the needful.

    I have to tell you, the smell was far from pleasant.  Way past bad.  Wayyy past.  Like, "Dreadful" is a speck in the mirror.  In the outskirts of "Disgraceful (Twinned With Horrific)".  I mean, even I was gagging.  The midday heat only added to the whole affair.

    Thing was, the bus was due so I couldn't even order a drink once I was done.  I had to leave rapidly but still gingerly lest I provoked further below-deck activity.  I think I left the owner 5€ in shrapnel on the way out.  However, whilst exiting, I realised the miasma had engulfed his entire premises rendering it unsafe for any living creature this side of eternity.

    I recall being stood at the bus stop with the wife and kids while he just stood in the doorway, arms folded, glaring at me.  It is a look that still haunts me TO THIS VERY DAY.

    Great story with the Howard Johnson.  I have a 12" with the same artwork, IIRC it's Standup b/w So Fine/Keepin' Love New.  That Paul Laurence / Kashif sound.  Smooth as a nun's soap.

    I mean, think about the Earth without his contribution and influence.  Apart from your family and friends, it basically sucks.  Tepid at best.  

    Deffo less echoey-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y.

    I think I like your definition of the earth better than the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy's definition.
