Summer is about done and this year I learned that even when you buy a tomato plant in spring with a few fruits on it you’ll get the same amount of tomatoes as one you grow from a 5 inch sapling. This week’s finds came from a guy whose garage was filled up with 45 rpm records which I usually like but they were 95% country. I’ve noticed country music is a lot like classical music in the sense that it’s everywhere and no one wants it, but if you did imagine how much fun it would be to collect, and how many scores you find. I’d update daily instead of occasionally. This guy also had a few of those slotted cases with 8 tracks in them and offered all of them to me for $5 or $.50 each, I didn’t need the country carts but I did want the Klowns with the art box and the groovy Sessions 70’s Gold and The Road To Ruin tape. All have been on heavy rotation this week.
Also at another sale I saw a lamp that goes with the Sessions tape that I approached and the seller began shaming me, asking me why anyone would want such an ugly lamp. I told him it was perfect in my pad and since he made an effort to emasculate my taste I knew I wasn’t going to spend a lot and got it to my car for $5.00. It's wild
