spindle spider dot comTwo classic records – one I have, the other I’d be game for but it wasn’t in the sleeve. A year and a half ago, I was out in McComb Ohio and I stopped at a tiny thrift store where I examined some records. After paying for my scores, I chatted with the elderly woman […]
At this moment, I am drinking a beer with the Blackhawks game on behind me. Just got done taking a shower and shaving, after dinner. I completed a lengthy and overdue post on my two day adventure in New Hampshire recently and I know that today has been damn near perfect. How many times have […]
Had a whirlwind early week headed out east to run through Portsmouth New Hampshire. I flew from Chicago to Philly on an early flight where I laid over on the final leg to Manchester. I could have flown direct with United (my preferred carrier) but they wanted double the price which was well outside the […]
On a rainy Saturday afternoon, I was very pleased to find that of the 3 garage sales that had the word ‘records’ in their descriptions on gsalr.com, one of them was just a couple blocks from my girlfriends house. (the other two were 10-20 miles away). So I sped over on my bike through the […]
Not much going on here….maybe 12 records stuffed next to a bunch of old video tapes. I did find a cookbook I needed but I guess that is a bit outside the realm of what we do here, at this blog. Any Debbie Gibson collectors however – now you know where to go.
Last year on my day trip to Tampa I hit a local (and excellent) record store. I was pleased to find that there was a thrift store within walking distance and when I called they confirmed the presence of vinyl. I walked north on Florida Ave. from downtown and watched things get progressively more dicey […]
So I set out on another 20 miler to hit some old and new spots on a Tuesday afternoon. I took link 50 all the way into the city down I-4 with my bike in tow so I could cruse around. I had hopes to top things off with a nice lunch near the station […]
I’ve only been in one other Goodwill store like this but apparently some stores sell literally by the pound. Everything is stuffed into huge tubs and its 90% clothes. While last time around I hit it big, I found about 5 records this time and it was all junk. Worse yet I went far out […]
A year ago, I conquered a trio of O-Town record stores all within a triangle near the Lynx Central Station. Frustrated with the lack of thrift stores, I searched Google again, much as someone looks into their empty fridge, hoping some scrap of food might miraculously appear. Well one did for me, but it was […]
Started off at the Goodwill in Eagan MN. I got into town a few hours before my colleague so I grabbed the rental car we were sharing and headed over. I instantly hit it big with some polka platters and even some barbershop! As I have done more than once, when I start seeing a […]
