I checked a song and enjoyed it enough to order to hear the rest.

Chance to see Quicksand perform on Jimmy Kimmel.

I swear, if some of you came to look at my collection from over the years you'd shit yourselves. I mean, when I was 18-19, I wasn't playing frisbee with all my stuff but I also wasn't implementing 12 step plans to protect corners on a piece of cardboard. Lighten up a little and quit shitting yourself over dust, dings to covers and wear in general. I had a dude once get mad about wear to the plastic bag I shipped the LP in. People are way overboard on this stuff.
Don't buy the record you see in the photo if it pains you to take a static brush to your vinyl.

Why do I always enter threads like this expecting jokes to find most folks waxing nostalgic for a turd?

Dogg - you know, two G's.
Maybe this video will make you realize that Snoop is no joke.

Exactly! The records I had in high school and college are well-loved and have the wear to prove it. They've moved countless times and get new dings - it's part of their story. As long as they play, big deal.

Ah, you know your Red Bank.

What I hate about eBay discussion like this is the temptation. Logic dictates that I should just sell my Euro Version +7" for $100 and then go to Hot Topic and pay $15 for a regular pressing. I could then hit IVWT with the remaining $85 and have 6-8 other records I want. It becomes hard to justify holding something like this when you have more interest in hearing a diversity. The solution is that people quit paying insane prices for things like this and I'll have peace in my mind.

I've been there Derek.
The first girl went on hiatus to chase a particular dream. I waited but when she returned many months later she dated someone else. Heartbreaking. Years later she wanted to get back together and I told her I would put my heart in her hands ever again. We're still friends.
The second girl destroyed me. I traveled by bus 1500 miles at her request to find her with another guy. Trust me it was the worst. I slipped into a hotel in a strange city that night and slept in their gym for a couple days until I could get home. That one I never spoke to again.
The third girl was that one that I always wanted to be with but distance and circumstances didn't allow it despite a friendship of 7 years but little contact for the last three. 6+ years ago we randomly ran into each other on the street while I was passing through town. The flame reignited and we married a year later after she moved to be with me in the north.
What's my point? Love is hard and cruel but it does work out for us but rarely when we try to force it. It failed for the first two when I put so much effort and followed all the signs. The one that worked was one left with some space, luck and all those beautiful things that make for great stories.
I feel for you Derek. Stay strong, hang with friends, get out a bit, clear your head so you can think clearly.

Got the Rasta yesterday. It's cool but the tour version is pretty unique. I'm digging the album as well if anyone cares about the music.

I'd like a cover of Hemingway petting a cat with UFOs landing in the background. Serenity is on his face as the man is about to meet our new Alien Masters.

Got this today. First, it's a really nice record. I love the blue on the c/d side by the way.
I won a Test - thanks for being a solid guy Mike. It was a nice surprise.
Finally, Mike threw in a copy of the Hailey LP he put out. It's pretty good but since I already have it I want to share the kindness. First person to ask for it gets it free of charge. Shipping is on me as well. All I ask is that you toss a couple bucks in the jar of the next good cause or worthy person you come across. Please PM me.
NIce job Mike.

Why are you digging up all of this info? What's the point?

The most recent gift I gave:
A check along with a framed copy of the Garbage Pail Kid appropriate to each person's name:
Smelly Kelly and New Wave Dave.
Gift went over well.
A sex swing? I knew one guy that would have worked for but he already owned one.

Hard to go wrong with this band. They are my "Why Didn't I Listen To Them Sooner" Band.

What's the point after repressing all their stuff in the past couple of months? Oh, cash grab. Cool.

I'm with these downers - this isn't worth a thread. Glad you grabbed a want at a good price but toss it in the recent purchases thread.

The weirdest thing about this story is that it didn't take place in Florida.
