Used Record Store Bins (A Spotify Playlist) →
I spend a lot of time flipping through used vinyl. When you spend enough time flipping through used vinyl, you start to see the same artists and albums appear over and over. It’s almost as if the used record store is their natural habitat. The Roches, for instance. I’ve ONLY ever seen The Roches in used record stores. And Edgar Winter! There’s a face for the W bin if I ever saw...

“It looks like a 9, but it’s got a line so maybe it’s a 6?”
“No, I put the line on top of the 9.”
“And you didn’t put any line on the 6?”
“No, I put a line at the BOTTOM of the 6.”

The entire presidency of (either) George Bush and Alexander Payne’s veiled misogyny have completely one-two punched my capacity to give any shits about rich white guys.
That said, if the entire movie had been about Beau Bridges’ character I would have stayed awake.

Getting all worked up over the discovery that I missed out on some bands (Unrest, Swirlies, Verve) when they came through town.

Personality Crisis
Is this a safe space to talk about the fact that Todd Rundgren’s new album [re]Production might be the most “DAAAAADDDDD, stop emBARrassing me!” album I’ve ever heard, but also happens to contain the most genius spoof/criticism of Lady Gaga (via the New York Dolls)?

youdonthavethis:
I would like to congratulate you, for whatever you’ve done recently and been too scared, too proud, too cowardly to discuss or bleat out into the world. We all have those things, that don’t feel good when you speak them aloud - I have one, but I will cut my leg off in the wilderness/the parking lot of an AM/PM before I talk about it with anyone but my Mom. She gave birth to me....
