We Love Value Village/Vinyl Fetish

p0tat0esLast night, we made an assault on the Capitol Hill Value Village, where I came away with 14 hot slabs o' bargain vinyl, and one of those little Fisher-Price record players (now I can duel Chris). Among the records purchased were a 4-record classic waltz set, a compilation of the national anthems of several different countries, and fine recordings by Deborah "Debbie" Gibson and ex-Commodores lead throat Lionel Ritchie, who's "Hello" I found myself working out an arrangement of, and learning the guitar solo to, at about 1:00 this morning.
I am extra-pleased, because I now can listen to all the vinyl that I've had sitting dormant for so long. I pulled out my Slint 10" that hasn't been played since I lived at the Ravenna House. Juno's "Magnified & Reduced By Inches" also got a spin, as well as Bloodhag's Dewey Decibel System EP. I don't think the folks at Fisher-Price quite intended for records containing metal songs about science fiction authors to be played on its equipment. That poor little speaker was nearly pushed to the breaking point, but it did survive the sonic onslaught and performed admirably.
After our shopping adventure, it was off to the scenic Roosevelt district for some Indian food, which I feel is still with me. It was quite good though. Dinner tonight as well, methinks.
OK. Need coffee.

The Dutch Harbor record is how I got into Pinetop Seven...Darren Richard (I think) and Charles Kim (for sure) play on it...so do members of Gastr Del Sol, Tortoise, Palace Brothers, et al.
