Not really, but developing creative and relevant titles for each blog post is proving far trickier than previously thought. Is it possible I'm not as on the cutting edge of pop culture cool as I had previously thought? No, that can't be it. It mustn't be it.
The previous seven days have been a very good start for me. Not only did I accomplish my goals I set out for the Record Show, but I made some excellent contacts and have a few records ready to add to the archive.
Last Sunday not only did I find my record cleaner, but I was able to find a great deal on plastic sleeves: 40 for $1. They're used, but that doesn't matter. They're in great condition, and work just fine. I'm quite happy with the deal. I also discovered the awesomeness that is the $1 bin. So many great musical finds in that $1 bin.
I also hit up Speed City Records here in town as well as The Village Idiot. If you're ever in the area and can make it down to Wortley Village, stop into The Village Idiot. Not only do they have a great selection, but some of the most amazing and knowledgeable staff you could ever hope to meet.
Now, onto the additions to the archive!
April Wine - Get Lucky
Band, The - Stage Freight
Band, The/Bob Dylan - Before the Flood
Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts - self titled
Beatles, The - Beatlemania! With the Beatles (Canadian Only Release)
Beatles, The - twist and shout (Canadian Only Release)
Beatles, The - Long Tall Sally (Canadian Only Release)
Diodes, The - Released (early Canadian punk, with a dig at Paul Simon. Great stuff.)
Lighthouse - One Fine Morning (great 60s rock)
Loverboy - Get Lucky
McKenzie, Bob and Doug - Great White North (some great Canadian comedy, a classic Christmas take off and it has Geddy Lee, eh?
Payola$ - Hammer on a Drum
Ocean - "Put your hand in the hand"
Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks - "Mr Dynamo"
Rough Trade - (for those who think young)
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire 12" single (produced by legendary Canadian producer Daniel Lanois
These aren't the only bits of vinyl I've picked up recently, but it is the vast majority, and they are the only bits that warrant including in the archive. Once I find a program I like for converting CDs into FLAC, I will have a larger number of albums in the archive as I digitize my CD collection.
