Ooooh! i've got some gilberto gil, baden powell, and caetano veloso 45s and 7"'s that i'm pretty proud of ever being able to find.

i only stop buying records when i go broke (like i am right now). i don't even like downloading anymore, because it takes the pleasure out of physically getting the album.

Luckily, there's a dearth of vinyl shops round here, but I did find a Sunday market with an absurd amount of stuff on Sunday. 20 quid, 11 LPs though, I'm quite pleased.

Edit: Urr, I meant to ask some asinine question about something. Insert bollocks here etc.

i don't get to take advantage of my housemate's discount, as the nature of the shop is that a significant proportion of the clientele are friends with the owner/employees and limited money to be made in that field, so there's no buying of records for friends on the cheap.

On a slightly unrelated note; have secondlayer opened their shop yet?

[gmku]

I'm opening a shop this fall.

downloading as compared to purchasing the vinyl or CD is like comparing masturbating at the doctor's office with a not-sexy playboy mag from 1992 as opposed to a balls-deep volcano burst way in my girl's abdomen if you know what I'm saying.

[gmku]

I know what you're saying. And I concur.

[gmku]

You can't hold downloading in your hands. You can't smell it. Ever sniff an LP?

Mark told me that the record store basement thing is actually a ruse and, in fact, they're starting a porn dungeon. Now, I'm not one to start rumours, but I assure you I did hear this direct from the horse's mouth.

Glice - I see....and is this porn dungeon RACIST by any chance? Only whites allowed? Hmm?

that is the funniest thing i have read on this board in ages

there is nothing like the smell of a good record store with all the vinyl and the crusty floorboards and holding that 12" gatefold in your hands why the records spin hypnotically on the truntable platter.

I just bought one Screaming Trees 'Dollar Bill' orange vinyl a couple of weeks ago, I've set myself the task of completing 6 college assignments before buying my next. I think I'm going to get 'Sonic Nurse', haven't heard it yet, but people tell it's really good.
