I'm in agreement with pretty much what everybody said here. Back then, you could go into a store, close your eyes, grab any record off the shelf, and have a pretty damned good chance it would be something amazing. Now... well I don't see that happening. Still, today I received a parcel with 2...
So I guess I'm a product of the environment I live in. I like buying shit, whether it be records, video games, other random stuff... I never spend more than I have, but I find it very tempting sometimes to buy new shit, even though I don't need it. I have a back log of pretty much everything I...
I've given thought to getting rid of clutter, my records, my piles of video games, but decided I'm better off keepin em. I like the clutter, it's good for conversation, everything has a story behind it, I love reading the line notes and check out LP covers. Playing an mp3 file just isn't the...
I'm really interested in the urban environment, so I usually canvas the city with a camera and take as many shots as I can. I find that the city is a treasure trove of unwritten history, there's so many things to see that people don't normally take notice, especially when everything moves so...

For every successful James Cameron, there's probably a five hundred million who struggle everyday. There's a lot of creative and hard working people who just can't get that lucky break sadly. Anything is possible, but realistically, there's only few doors with millions of people trying to break...
This is the main reason I rarely drive. People in my city are generally awful drivers. I usually bike around, but even then you gotta be extra careful. A lot of people are selfish drivers, or have no consideration or spatial awareness of what's happening around them. Cell phones also are a HUGE...
Nice finds on the Bob James records, can't go wrong with him...
My latest acquisition from a local thrift shop, and one I'm particularly happy with. A nice aand deadly early 80's reggae DJ piece by a largely unknown, Andrew Ranking. The label was so cool I had to scan it.. very random find, but...
The one major problem with the Kinect is space. You need like 9-10 feet to use it comfortably. Most people don't have the kind of space, or willing to move furniture to use it. It seems more of a novelty to me, but maybe they'll prove me wrong.
