I found out earlier in the week that one of my all-time favorite independent record stores is to close in March. Seems that the owner now prefers selling vinyl over eBay as opposed to dealing with us stinky bastards in person. Skip was never really a people person, but for some reason his crankiness drew us in for abuse and great music at the same time. Skip and Sean have taken a large portion of my "Disposable" income over the last 15 or 20 years, but I've never felt that I wasn't treated fairly by them both. I'll be very sorry to see Skip retire and sincerely hope that Sean can find work at another store where he can continue to share his musical knowledge.
Today's Haul from Full Crykle Records (www.fullcyrklerecords.com):
The Motels - Careful $2 NM
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Oz $4 NM
Polecats - Make a Circuit With Me $8 NM
Annabella - Fever $4 NM
A Flock of Seagulls - Modern Love is Automatic EP $3 NM
George Carlin - On The Road $5 NM
Bob Geldoff - This is the World Calling EP $1.50 VG+
Debbie Harry - Kookoo $2 NM
Honeymoon Suite (1984) $4 NM
Peter Wolf - Lights Out $3 NM
Jah Wobble - Invaders of the Hears EP $3 NM
Split Enz - True Colors (LaserEtched Vinyl) $6 NM
Long Ryders - State of our Union $2 NM
Long Ryders - Native Songs $5 NM
I was happy to find these two Long Ryders albums after discovering "Looking for Lewis & Clark" off a recent CD sampler from Uncut magazine (great import music magazine btw).
After almost an hour at a real record store, I had to stop by Best Buy and picked up the following, also for the 80s Airwaves:
Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti
The Live Aid DVD set (4 Discs)
What's sad is that these two things cost me the SAME as the whole batch of vinyl from Full Cyrkle! Sad days indeed... :no:
At least a portion of my Live Aid purchase will still go to help with relief in Africa nearly 20 years after the original broadcast.
