Great day of record shopping
« on: November 30, 2004, 06:29:48 PM »
Went out today with my room mate and this girl from down the hall and hit up the record stores. Tons of great finds.

Prince - Sign O The Times, Batman
Rod Stewart - Foolish Behaviour
Willie Nelson - Stardust
Paul McCartney - Give My Regards To Broad Street
Chuck Berry - Hail Hail Rock-N-Roll
John Lee Hooker - The Healer
David Bowie - Young Americans
Peter Frampton - Breaking All The Rules, I'm In You, Wind Of Change, Something's Happening, Where I Should Be

All $5 or under except for Sign O The Times.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

What's wrong with Willie Nelson? I think he's a great artist, I own another of his records as well.

I would imagine Nas's new album was only released on CD. I'm talking records as in vinyl, I didn't go to the mall. I went to record stores.

I was wondering why they were so cheap. The only problem is a lot of the used records don't sound to great if they're scratched. In general they are cheap. I bought Born To Run and Born In The USA, for 8 bucks. Not 8 bucks each. 8 bucks total. Born To Run is in terrible shape, but I can just hold the record and feel the music. It's a masterpiece!

Yeah, the place I went to had the records all in great condition. That's good for those 2 Bruce records, I've got Born To Run on vinyl but Born In The USA is on CD.

Some nice finds there. You do always have to check records carefully before you buy them though, cause more often than not cheap does mean there is something probably a little iffy with them. I hate those stores that keep all the records themselves behind the counter, and just write Good, V.Good, etc on the sleeves because you can't get a good idea of the condition of the record through descriptions like that. Haven't been properly record shopping in a while, going to London next weekend though, so probably go on a bit of a spending spree on them.
