Playing the Prince Jazzbo right now..I'm always a sucker for pretty much anything produced by Lee Perry...love that echo chamber sound.

Days like this make it hard to get a chance to listen to much new music when I gotta get through all this first. Anybody else pick up anything fun this weekend?

Aren't you from Chicago?

Ever check out Dave's Records on Clark?

I grabbed a couple things there when I was in town for a couple days last week. Great shop, but not gonna find any cheap deals or anything. But, really nice to see a vinyl only shop if you're into records.

Reckless Records just always pisses me off with the way they keep all the records behind the counter and slap too many stickers all over everything. I tried to buy a Nuggets compilation that I'd been wanting for some time and when I brought it up to the counter they couldn't even find the actual records.

yeah, i've been to dave's. i should go again sometime. he scoffed at me when i bought #1 record awhile ago (no idea why, what the fuck?) and was sour on that store for awhile, but i'm willing to put that aside.

you should've checked out beverly (far southside) or record dugout (near midway) for vinyl-only stores. the latter is just a junk store with baseball cards and comic books too, but their inventory of 45s is excellent. though, beverly's 45s are better organized.

Weird. I do find the way the counter is way up in the air kinda strange, but frankly I barely noticed the guy working there. #1 Record is a damn good record anyway. They do have a pretty darn good selection, but their prices are nothing special.

I'll have to give those a try next time I'm in town. Not so much into 45s myself though. I'm too lazy to change the record that often.

now playing...Eddie Lockjaw Davis

Prince Jazzbo is great.

I'm hoping to pick up some vinyl next week (waiting for an e-mail back, hurry up Barry!) and I don't even have a record player to listen to them on.

I'll just have to carry them under my arm all day and pop into the Uni classical music department after lectures.

Reminds me of my original college days back in a pre CD age when students used carry vinyl LP's around with them all day as 'badges of cool'.

Last weekend I picked up:

Statler Brothers, Flowers on the Wall (with "Memphis" and "King of the Road" on there, too)
Chuck Berry, Great 28
A Professor Longhair 45 that I can't remember.

I need to explore for some better vinyl outlets around here.
