Easily one of the most awkward record transactions I have ever attempted to take part in. Had to run to the store and scoped this spot above on gsalr.com and it was basically on the way so we swung through. In fact, there were only two sales on the site which listed records in the […]

Goodwill [Kalamazoo MI]
On my way into town after stopping at New Life in Wyoming I just wanted to head to my hotel but I drove right by this place, so I got my swerve on and tore into the parking lot. This was a unique Goodwill….you could almost see whatever business it used to be before they […]

New Life Thrift Store [Wyoming MI]
Up in GR for three weeks in a row and I continued my tradition of stopping in a single store before heading to K-Zoo. First up was SA, next was St. V’s and now another new one I had somehow previously missed. To prevent another bummer, I called in advance to assure they had some […]

#600!
I’ve been approaching 600 LPs for a while but I never thought it would come via such a strange route. I decided a while ago that 600 would be the end of the road for me. Not for collecting in general of course – but basically my upper limit. I have been planning to ‘trim […]

Satellite Records [Kalamazoo MI]
I forgot to get a simple exterior shot so I held up traffic on my way out and snapped this one through the van. I had purposely held out on stopping at Satellite on my previous trips to K-Zoo as I knew I’d soon be back. A comfortable store; it did not disappoint. After some […]
As I did last week when I found myself in the same neck of the woods, I figured I’d hit a single GR thrift store before I headed to K-Zoo. So I busted out the trusty Google Maps to figure out what was closest or most convienent – I’ve essentially been to them all already. […]

Green Light Music [Kalamazoo MI]
In my first night staying in K-Zoo instead of GR (in two days trip #3 will be on the books), I was delighted to find good food (Schwarma King), booze (Drake Party Center) and Green Light Music all next door to one another – and all just a couple miles from my hotel. I opted […]
I’ve torn up Grand Rapids a number of times as I’ve made many trips there over the years. I was headed up yet again and had some serious problems finding a hotel (I must admit, I am particular with where I will stay) so I booked in Kalamazoo instead. I was due to complete my […]
Shook my hangover and headed out to greet the day Sunday morning. gsalr.com had only two sales anywhere in the area with records and they were in opposite directions. Not being ambitious enough to try and hit both, I chose one on the north side and headed out around 10am. Just a bunch of the […]

Carol stream loop de loop
This was SUPPOSED to be a post about the All-Night Flea Market, and how it was my third year going, and how exciting it was and all the great stuff I picked up. But it is not, because the flea market was a bust. I got some intel a couple hours before we were set […]
