my trip to my friend terry's house (a true story)


Recommended Posts

i went to my friend terry's house tonight to buy a guitar pedal off him. i did. we were talking about his home recording setup, and i was telling him a little about how mike kinsella started out with owen, at home in his mom's house, etc. and he was like, "oh, do you have a record player?" and i was like "yeah" and he was like "i should give you this record then." and i was thinking, oh cool, maybe he's got an owen record or something i don't have. and he pulls out OWLS, ON CLEAR BLUE.

...

he hands it to me.

....

i say "dude, do you want any MONEY for this?" he said, "nah, i don't have a record player, you can just have it, it's just been sitting in the corner."

....

let that sink in.

....

i say, "do you have any other records i could maybe BUY off you?" he said "yeah, they're mostly newer, but you can look at em." he pulls out a nice stack, long story short, i didn't get them all, but did put together a stack including:

Mars Volta - Tremulant

Trail of Dead - source tags and codes

Small Brown Bike - The River Bed (on wintergreen)

Pinback - Summer in Abaddon (signed)

Don Cab - American Don 2xLP

Drive Like Jehu - s/t

Fugazi - Red Medicine

Fugazi - The Argument

and i said "give me a number..."

he said "how about 5 bucks for each one..."

...

i said "45 bucks? no, let me give you at least 50 dollars for these. please."

he said ok.

tonight has been a good night.
