Mr Slabi 05-29-2006, 06:26 PM Call me crazy, but I find it hard to believe that someone who prefers Starship over Airplane could summon the mental powers to start f***ing with electricity. Priceless. Awsome read. Thanks Mark datsunmike 06-02-2006, 09:42 AM Call me crazy, but I find it hard to believe that someone who prefers Starship over Airplane could summon the mental powers to start f***ing with electricity. Priceless. Awsome read. Thanks Mark The author is not talking about himself but the poor bastard of which he writes. but that poor bastard may be a metaphor for himself. I have a lot of albums and I do go to thrift stores and garage sales but more often than not I leave empty handed due to the horrible condition of the records or the lack of interest on my part of the artist and/or material. As to the Starship/Airplane controversy, I like both incarnations as the Starship's material is different, with a different sound. Blows Against the Empire was a very good album and Surrealistic Pillow a masterpiece. piece-it pete 06-02-2006, 11:10 AM :lmao: that's good! I bumb into these guys occasionally. Not that I'm like that or anything! :eek: Pete bully 06-02-2006, 09:37 PM I read it, far out. I'm not that far gone. :scratch2: PioneerHPMLuver 06-03-2006, 01:07 AM Thanks for sharing Mark! Seems like I always see some freaky folks at the used LP shop myself from time to time onepixel 06-04-2006, 02:01 AM There is a serious licker around the corner from my house. I was running my dog and I glanced over into an opened garage door. It was nearly full of records. 4 high of two double side rows, 70% of the length of the garage. I was so shocked I didn't stop and say what the... There must be easily 20,000 LPs in there. The Starship played at my company picnic last year. Mikey Thomas sounded awesome. |
