And one more I cant remember at the moment... Obv. someone got rid of their fusion stuff, and I was lucky to be there The records are in great shape....all for $1.00 a rekkid.

oh and I also picked up some other stuff on vinyl... less than $5.00 ea.



1. King Crimson- Red
2. Arlo Guthrie- Alice's Restaurant
3. Golden Palominos- Blast of Silence

oh yeah and one more

no love eh? ah well...

Looks like a nice hall. Admittedly, I'm not all that familiar with some of those artists. I have that Santana album on vinyl myself---good stuff.

I do wonder where you folks find such great deals. It seems that most the shops I can find good albums on vinyl know that they're good and charge $5-10---none of this $1 for Abbey Road on vinyl. I guess it depends where you live. The pickin's at my local thrift shops are not that good.

I was surprised that I found this stuff.. not because it is in high demand, but still, for 1 buck each?

It very much is a location thing, in my opinion- my last place of residence didnt see me finding a damn thing at thrift shops except overpriced scratched copies of the Doors and of course Herb Alpert

the only things i have ever found at the 15 or so thrift shops i've been to in the last year are Kamahl records



seriously.

yeah, what the heck was up with Herb Alpert, anyhow?

I found a nice copy of 'Welcome to the Beautiful South' for 65 cents over the weekend. Pretty sweet.

that's a really nice haul! I love the KC record, as you know!

I have a copy of Whipped Cream & Other Delights taken from my college's radio station, if you'd like to find out.

Who doesnt own a copy of this ? Have to love it.

I dont mind Alpert, and you can get some pretty good samples from the myriad of releases he appears on.. I dont know, its better than all the Styx vinyl I see

Yup, that is why I picked it up... I havent listened to it yet.

Also, you (and Mellotrongirl) are the only 2 CMJ lists I printed out

and one day I will check out those Badfinger records

I thought the same thing. i know people who don't own turntables who have a copy of that. Too funny.

How was the weekend? You get out to see The F*cking Champs?

Sure did... opening band was from Oakland Cali, the Boy J'azz - they were a good time, unapologetic no frills rock. Adam, the singer, is a nice guy.. quite a wiseass.. (hence, Im hoping, the band name)

The F*cking Champs destroyed... my ears were ringing for two days, and I was hung over for 1 1/2 of them... nice set, small room, rather unresponsive crowd ..but the show was good


how was the dorkwave partay? It sounded interesting, but I found out about it too late.

If you hear of anything else going on worthwhile, let me know.. Im single for the next few days lol

I skipped Dorkwave. Time came around and I just wasn't feeling up to it. Since I'd have been rolling solo anyway, I made the decision to stay in. Plowed through some promo CDs I'd let stack up and generally chilled out. Friends BBQd on Sunday, which was nice.

Nothing good show-wise until next week w/ Modest Mouse and Raveonettes on consecutive nights. I might check out Blanche on Sat, but my main motivation would be to do a story on them, and I'm having trouble finding an outlet. I'll let you know if I change my mind.

Glad you had a good time @ The Lager House. Another good spot is The Old Miami. Roach-infested, but loads of character and a similar setup.
