It's not like I'm going to stop and be a baker or anything


I’ve always been struck by night images of large cities.

Record Store Day ruled and still shifting thru lots of free stuff. Starting at Zingg music in Warren I chatted up owner Chris and handed over two dozen copies of the now OOP Staggering Statistics EP. He didn’t have any of the limited vinyl available for the day but I grabbed an Elliott Smith and Just Ice LP and got this grab bag of goodies for $34. Then headed for Newbury at Providence Mall and got all the vinyl I wanted for $48. After suffering thru the new parking setup, I scored this bag of free stuff and satisfied that I made the trek.

Vinyl collecting in general has again picked up steam and it shows in the price of a Love Buzz. Recently prices include four copies averaging about $2,700 including 501, 151, 239 and a promo version. Also out-of-site was this 100 copy version of the Smashing Pumpkins 7" single. I think the value of my super-rare molly's lips single just went up.

My global cooling wacko-of-the-week goes to this guy in CA. This tree-hater sued to cut down his neighbor’s privacy because they blocked his over-priced solar panels.
