Record Store Day 2011 - 3

Oh, and the entertainment! Buffalo Killers were playing when we got there, and they have a neat trick - you don't have to write very many songs if they are all amazingly, jaw-droppingly long! Kelley sang a coupla GBV numbers with them and Mitch got up there, then Motel Beds...more bands later but I needed a nap (which I don't think I got). Then the Bride and I got dinner in Yeller Springs.



My pics were pretty bad (surprise), but here is an indignant Ian saying "Yeah, yeah, I brought the goddam sleigh bells! See?? Sleigh bells!!"

This is a mad artifact - a shame he never got to do a split 7" with Erma Bombeck:

Actually, surprised this isn't the Life and Times With Paul Lawrence Dunbar Live at Oregon Express!

Record Store Day 2011 - 1

Like every other web logger in the universe, I must now make my obligatory "Record Store Day" post.

What did I buy? Nothing! However, the laptop (under repair today here at work! yay!) has been laid low, giving out memory dump messages, etc. SO, I did not liberate any records from the Internet for a whole day Saturday, either. I DO MY PART! Zero sum shit, there.

Here are Don Thrasher and Kyle Melton, plotting to do good works on behalf of the D_____ "scene":

Oh, this was good, I was standing around, all agog that there were actually people buying records and being scene-y, when Kyle hollers "Nick! Come here! Some dude is actually buying a Fixx record!"

I spared the buyer the attendant shame, but made the nice Record Store Kid hold it up - so that you could see, like everything else I ever type here, IT WAS ALL TRUE!:
