umm, Ian, you'd probably have to check Russell's cool with it, but how about listing the titles here taking any inquires via email?
there seems to be a few record hounds about.and not that I've used it, but yeah, eBay is where you'll find the real anoraks with the big bucks. payment's usually done thru paypal.
for mine, given the recording quality or lack there of, the prices FN stuff goes for is madness, it was always a time/ place live scene to my ears. and it's spreading, then I saw an old Warners 7 going for $80. and No Tag for $90, which is cool since I've somehow got two.
on the other hand I've got a copy of Dragon's Universal Radio heading my way for a fiver, so it's probably about shopping around. -
Hey Grant; marathons? Really? I mean, really really?
and I’ve been going through a similar sort of thing. due to space constants, utility and such, I’m now keeping my stash down to about 5000.
I’ve never used a filing system – that way you keep digging up something you haven’t heard in a while while looking for something else, but there’s a point where that gets unweildy.
I also gave my cd player to my brother, I just prefer playing around with records so why put them in competition with another format? If you’ve got ’em, use ’em.
And there’s always new/ old stuff to be discovered, I prefer to find it by digging, online jiggerypokery doesn’t interest me in the teeny tiniest.
anyway, I recently started flogging off all manner of sundry stock, and it hasn’t been too hard. For the most part mine is now a working collection anyway, further purchases are funded by playing out which in turn, I guess, shapes what I’m buying, but I do keep the personal stuff as an informal subset.
I’ve never been a photo taker, instead I’ve always tried to buy a record as a reminder – those purchases, when significant, aren’t for sale.
I just hope the nippers treat the well when they get them.
If so, it’ll have been a beautiful thing.oh, and RIP Andy Williams. Well done that man.

Hard News: #BDOMemories, in reply to Joe Wylie,
or she's pushing another stereotype that they're senile and have lost all reading comprehension skills...
but either way, the question remains: why does she dislike old people so?

a brief decloak to give my tuppence worth of BDO memories...and man, am I suffering an acute case of FOMO right now.
while I haven't been to many of late I'd have still attended most. one of my more memorable occasions was sitting on the back steps of the old eastern stand and seeing Courtney Love and entourage of minders walk past - nothing too odd except that she was starkers.
and for mine it was seldom about the headliners, more the bands I didn't know I'd love until I saw them, the likes of the Hellacopters and TISM.
my faves tho was abandoning a lame Chem Bros set to hear London Calling in the distance. A quick dash and I joined a small crowd of people wearing the biggest grins in the world as Joe ran thru a Clash best of and introduced us to his child as a full moon rose over the stage. a band member tried to crank up his bongoes only for Strummer to toss his towel over them and growl "no fucking bongoes.'' punk roolz.
fave BDOs would the first one - Urge Overkill's dapper suits were a highlight - and the monsoon. running out under an advertising hoarding and helping to create a ramshackle shelter until the sun came out as Nick Cave took the stage.
I dearly hope something good will take it's place.and Hillary, why on earth would an old person get the hump over a comparison btwn a festival and an old dog? did Grant make even a vague connections with anything human? don't you think he's got a granddad of his own? sheesh.

Craig, you can stand by whatever you please, I post here under my own name in good faith and found your response as offensive as it was unnecessary.

you know Craig, if I hadn't met you I might actually believe some of the shit you shovel.

have we heard from anyone who was inside the Matterhorn?
if Malcolm (assuming she was the source) was making shit up then she's a damn fool.
and fair point on the Jackson comments...none of this nonsense reflects well on anyone.
so, how about that SBW?
-
umm, once again...no-one ever said there was a lynch mob. she was refering to the mood, and despite what that video shows, it may still have existed. who knows what was happening in the time leading up to then?
I don't know either way but those details should be easily confirmed if someone called the Wtgn police to see if there was a callout.
this may not seem a big thing, but lynch mob is an easy line that can and is feeding into a growing anti-union theme. I noted Jackson used it twice last night. that ain't helping the big picture emerge.

oo, not sure how I hadn't heard this before, but Ari from the Slits died on Wednesday.
