So it would seem that BGO now sells cassettes, this is a blessing and a curse as I can now hopefully restock those tapes that I once had but gave away, but I also don't need more things to buy.   Regardless, I was shaking when I found that Ween tape.

Two mixed tapes that I made are currently on our coffee table for the season.  One is the Silent Night Bastard Night VHS mixed tape, which is a collection of classic Christmas slashers.  The other newly made tape is a cassette mix of Christmas Chunes.

Come on by to the Serpentine Pad on Christmas Eve for a listen, a watch and some pops!

I just got a copy of Terror Twilight and Westing this week on cassette, so my Pavement tape collection is just about complete.  I do have Wowee Zowee on tape, sans case, but that is because it is Ned's copy.  So I did not include that one in this post.

Laura and I spent this past long weekend in Windsor.  Saturday afternoon Laura had a super long hair appointment which gave me some time to hit some cool record shops.  I stopped by Dr Disc and was blown away by how good their selection is.  I ended up buying the reissue of Faith No More's Album of the Year.  That collection is now complete!

I found this awesome store in the town of LaSalle while search Kijiji a while back.  I always had it in the back of my mind to check this store out when I was in town.  This is basically some dudes house that has been converted into a kick ass vintage store.  Every square inch was covered in vinyl, tapes, posters, record players, magazines, toys etc.  Imagine someone went to every Value Village and put just the really cool shit in one spot.  I spent over an hour in here as it would take all day to look through everything.  I ended up not buying anything, as I am really trying to curb my record spending, but it also made it easier to not buy anything because of the prices on some of the albums.  Some of the stuff was pretty rare, but spending over 40 bucks on an album is something I totally refuse to do anymore.  Its just insane.  As much as I always wanted White Zombie's Astro Creep, there is no way I am going to pay 95 bucks for it.  Thats just insane.

I found this sweet box for my 7"s at Orange Monkey.  8 bucks!  I hope to find another one and make it my dedicated GBV box.

Cranking Jason until Sebadoh comes.

I just got this today!  The 1995 Murder Records classic.  The 8th grader Johny is so jackt right now.  Also, the cassette store day copy of the latest GBV album.
