sometimes i like to melt up a couple of records and spread the resultant mess onto an intact record to create percussive discordances.

byron c. famous owner of yodspace came in the store today and told me that he really liked my record paper that i wrote for the conference in la. that made me feel good. i thought he might dig it. he's my kinda guy. then he bought records. he's reading poetry tonight at the book mill with will oldham and being backed by ben chasney. how hip is that?
(kinda could pick his brain about records forever. how does he do it? its nuts. he remembers EVERYTHING. i can barely remember my phone number.)

Scott, i remember your MV store posts.. i always thought it was a crusty old timey collector store you frequented. i've only been to the island once in 1993 (a few years before he open his spot) but i distinctly remember as a teenager perusing a store with a wall of records in the ground floor and basement. edgartown too. is it still around or did this guy buy it and rebrand it? it was pretty close to the gingerbread illuminations houses.
― sanskrit, Thursday, 13 October 2011 03:05 (twelve years ago) link
there were some other stores that have since closed. one guy had lots of records. forget the name of it. i barely even remember going there years ago. but i think that was in vineyard haven. there were two cd stores - in oak buffs and vineyard haven - that closed when i was living there and i never went to them because they were so terrible. between mike's store and the two thrift stores and the dump store and estate sales, i did okay.

Vinyl records, declared dead a quarter century ago, are making a comeback.
In an age when it's assumed compact discs will join the list of dead media, one-time vinyl record owners like J.D. M3rryweather are rebuilding collections. And the surge in interest is prompting music enthusiasts to recast themselves as record producers.

tbh, i find this 'record collector as archaeologist' thing a bit tiring. also, 5 records for $100 is not a bargain.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Saturday, 28 January 2012 00:43 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, well, if you live in nyc i guess that is a bargain! what do i know.
sheesh, that was dumb. give me a hundred bucks around here and i will find you a nice haul of goodies.

"No, I'd be forced to revisit those mid-'90s days when, as a broke college student, I'd spend the two hours between leaving my summer internship and catching the 9:07 train to New Haven trying to find a $20 bargain."
― scott seward, Saturday, 28 January 2012 01:06 (twelve years ago) link
"bargain"
"The recession has wreaked havoc on serious record collectors and the dealers who service them, from those who invested a precious fortune in major-label, early-'90s rap 12"s to those who thought there would always be a market for European sound library albums."
this isn't really true and where was i when people were paying a precious fortune for major label early 90's rap????
― scott seward, Saturday, 28 January 2012 01:09 (twelve years ago) link
maybe he means the days when people were paying a precious fortune for out of print rap CDs.
