There is nothing better than being out in the middle of nowhere on vacation, with your loved ones. Better yet, stop at a quiet abondonded beach and run around in the ocean for an hour, then stop into a tiny church thrift store and look at some records! This makes (I think) the 14th year […]

Another round of a last 10 records mix with a stupendous commentary throughout and of course some technical difficulties. Enjoy.

Goodwill [Orlando FL]
I previously hit a Goodwill in O-Town back in 2015 but I’m 99% sure this is NOT the same one. Should have had better record keeping to confirm/deny that but it is all I can come up with so you’ll have to roll the dice if you are trying to use this blog as a […]
I first visited the Gibsonton/Apollo Beach area in April of 2016. On my last day I wanted to stop here but had trouble finding it. Well I ended up going back about 1 1/2 years later to work at the same place and this time I went in on my first day when I still […]

Garage Sale [Pleasant Prarie WI]
Had a horrible 5am on site starttime in Kenosha for a job that could not have gone anymore badly. Worse yet, it was finally rescheduled for completion weeks later and I could not go as I was elsewhere. My colleague went in my stead and screwed things up so royally that he had to return […]
Always a highlight of my summer, Hog Days did not disappoint this year. In between the metric ton of pork I consumed, there was actually a record vendor at the flea market! Very nice collection, everything was bagged and individually priced and they had a ‘premium’ section with some nice wares as well. I didn’t […]

Garage Sale, Belvidere IL
Rubbermaid totes and laundry baskets are the earmarks for a solid junk sale. I found this one via my old amigo gsalr.com on a Friday afternoon, way out in this rural area of NW Illinois. As I perused the crap I could hear rifle report way in the distance, somewhere beyond the seemingly infinite cornfields […]
I ended up being ‘lucky’ enough to go back to Belvidere four times in just a few weeks and I wouldn’t be surprised if I get another call soon. On one trip I brought my bike as I had so few tools to bring there was plenty of room in the truck. I hadn’t planned […]

Bemidji Burn Out
I visited Bemidji once before not long ago. As I returned it was warmer out and again I had some free time. This would be a recipe for a solid hunt if I didn’t feel like I had already dug pretty thoroughly. But that is always a lie! You have never dug sufficiently! […]

The ghosts of barbershop’s past…..
I am fairly confident I have the biggest and/or best collection of barbershop vinyl on the planet. It started so long ago as it often does, in Michigan. That state is home to some of the best quartets the world has ever known. After waiting years and begging, discogs added barbershop as a style which […]
