Mailbag!

Once in a great while I get a comment from strangers which is always nice.  Nicer still are the even fewer times that I have gotten comments from record store owners who saw their post and let me know they enjoyed it. I don’t go out of my way to trash anyone and I have […]

Idaho Idocy!

A couple years ago I was fortunate enough to head over to Seattle.  I had a great time, and checked out some vinyl, and thus ticked Washington off my list.  On this trip, I had some work in Spokane and plenty of downtime.  I wasn’t about to waste time running ragged in Washington – been […]

Burlington Records [Burlington VT]

Vermont – the last state on the entire east coast I have not been to, stopped in, had a meal, worked in, slept in.  The circumstances that set this one up probably will not recur, so I knew I had to take advantage.  I arrived on a Monday set to work on Tuesday about 30 […]

Goodwill [Plainfield IN]

I have been through this store and this area too many times to count at this point – I just created a new label to keep track of all these trips so you know it is getting serious!.  I pulled some scores out of here over the years and even when I strike out I […]

Repo Records [Philadelphia PA]

About 2 1/2 years ago I got to hit up Philly under the same circumstances (same customer in Gap PA).  Once again, I made sure to budget an extra day into things to get around.  I had three cheesesteaks (along with the two I had on my first trip), as well as a pork sandwich, […]

Village Thrift [Pennsauken Township NJ]

After driving from Coatesville Pennsylvania to Wilmington Delaware, I made the trip north to New Jersey.  I was rolling the dice that this place would have some vinyl, I couldn’t find a phone number that anyone would answer and I was low on time to find anything further east from Pennsylvania where I needed to return […]

Goodwill [Wilmington DE]

It took me until I was all the way in Pennsylvania again to realize that Delaware and New Jersey were really close by! So I made some adjustments to my already packed itinerary to check these states off my list, as who knows when I will have the chance again! I decided on a regular […]

Goodwill, Downers Grove

I swore I had never been to this place.  I was tooling around and had to make a run to Trader Joe’s.  The local grocery stopped carrying the coffee that my girlfriend likes and Trader Joe’s is is other favorite.  I don’t mind going as I drink the coffee as well and I also like […]

Estate Sale, Wood Dale

Been a solid minute since I hit up an estate sale.  I got a tip from a coworker that there was not only one down the street, but that they also had records! I was swamped at work and didn’t think I could get away when I decided – you only live once! So I […]

Goodwill [Greenfield IN]

Nice to get back in the swing of things after a short while of inactivity.  I drove 4 1/2 hours to Cambridge City Indiana, did my work in only about 2 hours, then drove back west to spend the night in Indianapolis.  This was on the way and well worth it. Roger Miller ‎ I scooped […]
