spindle spider dot comHere are my favorite ten piece of vinyl I accrued in 2017 from all the heaps I dug through and the smaller heaps I actually purchased. These are not in any particular order. Return To Forever – 30-Minute Radio Special I bought this on discogs, and I got it largely for collection purposes. But it is actually […]
I made my first trip to New Haven a little over a year ago and made a return journey here in early 2018. This time I took the bus north to Hamden to check out Replay Records. First I walked west on Elm from my hotel and got on the 228 bus north on Whitney. […]
Back in Connecticut, got surprised by the chalkboard outside this place. I was excited for a minute, until I entered and found that their inventory consisted solely of fancy new reissues. I did take the time to go through them then I got the hell out of there.
I’ve been to the Plainfield/Avon area a bunch of times now but somehow never bothered to check the area for record stores. Obviously I underestimated the area because I found Rock Bottom Treasures on a cursory glance at the map! I had my work planned for a Sunday which gave me a very leisurely drive […]

I’ve been awfully spoiled lately with the opportunity to travel to many large metropolitan areas. Finally I was make in a small town in Indiana – now this feels natural! I swung through a Goodwill in town – plenty of vinyl to be had. It was nothing doing, but I did find a mono copy […]
Back in Minnesota! I booked a flight for under $200 and did about 90 minutes of work in Hastings. Then I decided to stay in downtown Minneapolis and I found a really cheap room. Had plenty of time to kill that afternoon and again the following morning before my flight left. First up was Electric […]
