Looking for a "random album thread" album, I found this one. Haven't written about it in there yet, but I loved it so much that I just had to own the CD. Ordered it this night as the last thing before I go to bed.

Karin Krog - Songs About This and That

Kind of a light, jazzy thing, but a bit on the odd side and with loads of atmosphere.

Took a trip to my old hometown for the holiday and checked out the vinyl at Bartertown Collectibles. Found Tom Waits' The Black Rider, Real Gone, and Blood Money, (all of which I have already so I left them for the next digger). But I took home a KLF deleted single I was missing and The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds! Also picked up a Harold Budd LP missing from my collection at The Bop Shop.

But the most intriguing new find was this beautiful NASA/science collectible from 1969 - Time Life's To The Moon 6LP box set with 192pp hardcover book brimming with photos and info about each space mission.

I bet this set is filled with content sampled by all my favorite downtempo artists so it will be fun to explore.

I will drive there literally tomorrow based on how much they're selling it for. You just stumbled across it?

They're selling a first pressing of Please Please Me for $10 on my front lawn. I'm lonely.

Oh ****, doesn't Master Blaster run that place?

I stumbled upon a Kill Rock Stars first pressing of Elliott Smith's Either Or mint and sealed in a Goodwill thrift store in a crate of Herb Alpert and Sing Along With Mitch.

I walked into a Salvation Army and bought two arm-fulls of Chess label original blues LPs for $1 each.

I strolled into The Bop Shop 15 minutes after a man traded in mint copies of Tom Waits' entire discography that he'd purchased new over 40 years, played once, and shelved. I bought them all on the spot for $20 apiece.

I've been doing this for years. Do it long enough and crazy things will happen.

Also which Budd album?

I bought the complete Budd/John Foxx collaborations vinyl box set recently and already had The Pearl, Moon & Melodies with Cocteau Twins, and The Serpent in Quicksilver on wax so finding The Lovely Thunder for $5 was a no-brainer purchase.

See my reply to Ninetales above. It's a hole in the wall collector's shop with home-taped exploitation VHSes and original horror posters. But after finding the fourth mint Tom Waits LP I stopped and started shelving them together for the next lady or gen who passes through. They were priced below market value. The cheapest US copy of Black Rider on Discogs right now is only VG and listed at $157. The one in the shop looked mint and was stickered at $100.

Wow, are you a Rochesterian? The shop was new to me so I don't know.
