I am going to get a BMX bike this spring.

Bob Lefsetz had a post about that the other day.

Well, this is uh, interesting:

I think I got it for 5 bucks off one of those bargain tables at Barnes and Noble. In one of the shows I listened to he talked about the Jeff Beck Group a lot. He has no love for Peter Grant.

I have it. It's the usual rock book story. I was surprised to read that after all these years he was basically broke.

I've listened to that a few times. He spins records, and then plays a few tunes. The first one I heard was the show with Glen Matlock.

The good old days.

Thanks for posting that.

Years ago, he said it was on the list. I have feeling the people who own it want a ton of money for it. That's probably the same version I have. Welcome to My (Blog) World! By Blair Jackson

I bet someone will ask David about Sunshine Daydream. I get the feeling a lot of projects they had lined up changed once the Rhino deal happened.

Our goal for 2011 - Let's Make A Record That is a nice thing to hear. As far as I can see, popular music is nothing but crap. About like it was in the early 1980s, when I was a kid. Maybe Soundgarden can bring back the rock.

All the way back in the 70s, I use to stand and read Hot Rod, Circus, and Mad magazines in the grocery store. Unless I could talk my mom into buying them for me. Of course, just like music fanatics collect music, some people are into book collecting. I have been around such people, and seen many priceless books over the past couple of decades. I even own a few myself. If you know what you are looking for, you can sometimes find books worth a bit of money at library books sales, flea markets, etc. I don't see people collecting e-books. But, who knows what will happen in the future

I've never heard of those places. Someone always figures out a way to try and rip you off. That's funny. I know a guy who stands in book stores and reads books. He never buys them.

When I went to the one in PA years ago, they actually had the first Grandpaboy cd in there. I don't recall ever seeing that in a store before, or since. The reason I like used bookstores, and/or independent books stores better than chain places is that I think they have more of a selection. As you say though, it may well depend on where the store is - as to the space they have, and what they carry. I don't really buy books anymore, except for the occasional music related book every once in a while. I mainly use the public library to get the books I want to read.

There is a Borders in PA where the whole basement level use to be mostly music. That place had everything - imports, box sets, all sorts of stuff. I once spent two hours looking at cds there. The cds were not all that expensive, but that was before the days of iTunes, and online music buying. The last time I was there a few years ago, almost all of the inventory was gone. It was pretty much what you see at a Walmart now, mainly greatest hits, some new releases, and stuff people buy a lot - such as certain country artists.

Just think of the local bookstores Borders may have ran out of business. I would much rather have the three bookstores that used to be right downtown here where I live , than a Borders. I am use to it though, as they have been gone for years. Just like the record stores. And yes, who is the hell pays 18 bucks for a cd? I'd say it's a combination of online purchasing, and the rise of e-book readers. We have a Barnes and Noble here. It is a neat place to hang put - but I don't think I ever bought a book there that was not on the bargain table. Plus they have the British rock magazines. I

I thought about converting my VHS collection a few years ago, but I never messed with it. I think I would need a more powerful computer to do such a thing.

It looks like they are going overseas next. I still think they should come here where I live and play in the theater where I saw Ryan Adams.

Joking.

It's in that thread about her cartoon series. I'm glad they fixed it.

I take it they fixed the problem? When this was posted here a while back, there was some sort of foul-up with the contest.

I have no idea who The Band of Horses are, but I would certainly go see The Jayhawks.
