My second trip to Tulsa – had some time to hit up some shops. Probably wouldn’t be worthy of note except for the Chicago polka record seen above (on the right) which I scooped without hesitation. And the only thing better than Christian records with caricature covers are those which also include personalized autographs as […]
As I sped across the border into Tennessee, I spotted Candlelight on the way out. I know an antique mall when I see one and couldn’t believe my luck. Besides checking a new state off the list, I’d be able to hit another spot on the way back. Not surprised to see that just about […]
It took me a few days in Huntsville AL to understand that I was only 15 minutes from the state line. So at last, I check Tennessee off the list! Didn’t know when I’d ever get this one done. Saw a thrift store in Ardmore, I believe the street it is located on is actually […]
Nothing like a solid breakfast to service your hangover followed by perusing the junk at an antique mall next door! I have visited Oklahoma before but only in the capacity to check it off the list without enjoying it much. I had a plan to hit up a Starship Records but I got it pretty […]
Back in October, I came across an article on a documentary about Dusty Groove, a record store I visited once long ago in the early days of the this blog. In fact, this is the 394th post on this blog but my minimal coverage on my visit to that shop is only the third, over […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: very lucky to knock this state off the list and I doubt I’ll ever have another chance. Very lucky to find some work way out in the SW and had plenty of time to make the rounds. I’ll say off top that I came across a […]
Got into a discussion with someone regarding my hiphop vinyl collection. Best thing to do was to put together a quick video. Except it wasn’t ‘quick’, it was over a half an hour. So many stories. Glad I did this.
It’s funny that I might write a negative review of a record store where I buy things, but write a positive review of a store where I walk out empty handed. For me, this is because once you get a certain amount of records, it no longer matters what you buy (or not), you are […]
This is my 4th trip through Iowa in the past 6 months or so, and my second time in Des Moines. This time I was here for 3 nights and had some downtime. I checked and while I had perused vinyl in Iowa before, it was a long time ago and not very thorough. So […]
I have been messing with different mixers for a long time now. I got my system with a very simple Numark. I recently came across these very early photos of my system back in 2011. The photo above may be the earliest photo of my system. That blue cable is a very long (30′?) RCA […]
