Check out what I got at some Garage Sales today (10/22/05)

How is that phaser?

The "PhasOr" is pretty cool. Now I can play "Shattered".

Well there's your 7 bucks. The rest is icing.

Play "Car on a Hill," but make it sound like "Shattered"!

'court and spark' is so fantastic! 'ladies of the canyon' less so, but still very good. focus on the darker songs - the priest, the arrangement, rainy night house, woodstock.

Forget everything else: The DD-3 is the killer deal. Usually runs around $80!

This is what I got today

Is that from garage sales?

jesus christ scott what garage sales are you going to?

Me and some other people did a charity jumble sale sorta thing and I sold abt £40's worth of crap and got Kool Moe Dee's greatest hits, Ghetto Music by BDP and a Four Letter Word single. Nice

actually, it was a fund-raising yard sale that we hosted at our house for the new low-power radio station that my lovely maria is helping to start here. lots of donations and a lot of old records from the fm station here on martha's vineyard that someone had saved when that station went digital and got rid of their vinyl. nothing awe-inspiring in their batch though. the ichiban stuff is cool though. if you like sometimes slightly cheesy local yokel 90's r&b and blues. we did good even with the rain. made around 700 bucks.

i still have bags of crap vinyl in the outside room if anyone's karla bonoff and nicolette larson collection is incomplete.

Are you giving it away? because I'll take it.

no, we need money! five bucks for whatever you can carry with your own two hands! but really, nothing too great to be found.

well if I give you $5, is it hard to ship out? because I'm in NJ.

maybe i could send it by tug boat. nah, i'm too lazy to ship stuff. you are better off going to new jersey thrift stores. Village Thrift!

Voodoo Child, where in NJ?

Montville. Near Parsippany, Boonton, Morristown, Lincoln Park, Towaco, etc.

Wait, are you Michael Costello?

JEEZE! NO! I'm his damn brother. How many times do I have to say it?

Ha! I knew a coupla lesbian producers/DIY label folks who moved to Montville about five years ago. Living there was what destroyed their 10 year relationship, they said.

What I got yesterday:
Sons of Yma (Peruvian psych/garage comp)
The Mockers 1964-68 (described in the liner copy as "The Uruguayan Rolling Stones,") on 150 gram vinyl.
Both from a South American pal having a record sale...
