83 Weeks is great too. Bischoff isn't as entertaining as Bruce but I have a fondness for all that stuff too so I agree.

I know it's been mentioned previously, but if you're not listening to this podcast, you're missing out. It's some of the smartest, most informed, hilarious WWE Golden Era wrestling talk ever. Seriously, go check it out: http://www.mlwradio.com/something-to-wrestle-with-bruce-prichard.html

PO NOW: BRANDTSON Fallen Star Collection LP

Fell in love with Brandtson based on a Deep Elm comp and "Potential Getaway Driver" was one of those songs. Hmmm... Do I need this? -

^ Yeah. Since all their matches have been pretty epic, I too expected way too much out of them. It's hard to keep topping yourself over and over without doing something that might actually permanently injure yourself. Those two have so much chemistry together, I can see them feuding again when they're on the main roster. Velveteen vs. EC3 was sort of a nice pace where the high spots resulted in the ending. Doing anything on the apron is risky, especially that sort of the Death Valley Driver. But then the elbow where Velveteen could land kind of controlled resulting in the pin was nice for me. Also, EC3 is like a modern day Lex Luger to me. I don't really dig him.

Summer Slam weekend. Of course the best thing was/will be NXT. That opening tag match was great.

I think I paid $40 for my Whole EP in 2010. I never listen to it but I can't see selling it ever. -
Can't wait to see that new Queen biopic. Looks amazing. What are we talking about again?

SOUL, FUNK, and BLUES Record Thread
somethingvinyl replied to lexicondevil's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Eskew Reeder, also known professionally and more famously as Esquerita, was brought up in the church in South Carolina but eventually switched to "secular" music. He was self taught on piano and played a frantic and feverish style. He had some success writing songs and performing, but it wasn't until he came to record in New Orleans where he would meet Little Richard. Wiki describes Reeder as influencing Little Richard. Rumor has that they were lovers and Richard copped his style. Obviously nobody knows for sure, but the scuttlebutt is that Richard started incorporating wigs, glasses, makeup and many of the characteristics and idiosyncrasies that Esquerita had already been doing. Obviously, he is mostly forgotten largely and Little Richard appears to a pioneer. Both cuts of this 45 have Reeder "Woooooo"-ing in the same way Little Richard popularized. Little Richard recorded first, actually, but those early records sound different than the Richard the world knows. Hard to argue that once you see Esquerita for yourself, you see Little Richard's entire shtick. -
New Orleans suggestions?

I just looked up their food. I gotta try their breakfast sometime. -
Record shopping at thrift stores?
somethingvinyl replied to unknown pleasures's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Over the past twenty years, I've found a good bit. Best score: A couple years ago, I had a meeting at work and got to the thrift store late. They always put out the fresh stuff in the morning when they open. A local junk shop owner had a cart full of records. I was crushed. It looked like great jazz (Miles, Coltrane, etc). But he obviously didn't know what he was doing, just buying stuff he recognized. I found a Coleman Hawkins - Hawk Flies High, which used to be $200-300 LP. He missed it. Ha. There were a few other interesting things. I just grabbed the odd, non-popular things left. Scored this. Paid $2.12 for it: https://www.popsike.com/VictorVitor-Assis-Brasil-Desenhos-LP-Forma-FE-1017-STEREO-Brazil-1966-RARE/331956804909.html -
I had some stupid goal to get all of the YFM variants around 2011-2012 ish and I remember trying to justify spending $60 on that screenprinted cover. I can only imagine what it would go for now.

Yeah, Cafe du Monde is overrated. If you're out at like 2 am the line is short, though. -
New Orleans suggestions?
somethingvinyl replied to radiatorhums's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Search 'New Orleans' on the board. There's been several threads started and I always comment. But, meh, I'm too tired. Records: Euclid Records (Bywater neighborhood): largest store in the city. Worth looking at for the volume. Two stories. They have some hard to find stuff. Domino Sound (Marigny neighborhood): a record collector's store. Small but lots of a variety and reasonable priced. Definitely go. Seriously. Sisters in Christ (Uptown, near Audubon Park and Zoo): worth going for punk/hardcore but definitely not the variety that the others offer. Skully'z (French Quarter): smallest shop in the city on Bourbon Street. Scott is the owner and the nicest guy ever. He gets lots of new releases and you might find a gem in the bins. Go if you're nearby. The Mushroom (Uptown by the universities): Doubles as a headshop. Lots of garbage/thrift store records. I've found some gems they overlooked but it's a waste of time a lot of time. Nola Mix Records (Uptown on Magazine near CBD): Lots of great 45's with variety but not much punk/hardcore. Disco Obscura (Uptown off Magazine, near Nola Mix): Boutique shop with mostly reissues. Joey Buttons owns and he's a sweetheart. Peaches (Uptown, Magazine St, up river): Fuck this place. Waste of fucking time. Ha, there you go. I like records. -
