spindle spider dot comHad what very well may be my one and only trip to Texas and I took advantage! I was at the tail end of a brutal cold and my head was congested as hell…the ride was turbulent and I was sitting at the absolute last row, an honor I have never before enjoyed and hope […]
The first five Eddie Rabbitt albums (ironically, I own the sixth, albeit the Mexican version), a rare Tom Jones alternate cover and Anne Murray looking adorably cute – someone’s for the taking. I used restraint, it wasn’t easy!
Another weekend, another couple days spent at the ‘usual haunts’. And for once, I got lucky. With my arm bent firmly behind my back, I was convinced to go over to Goodwill Elmhurst just before close. There was a mountain of 45s in there and while ‘naked’ 45s usually are a real turnoff (how crass), […]
I have hunted in Florida and Tampa a couple times specifically before. However, those trips were strictly on my own personal holidays while this trip was business related. My time was precious but my colleague had a rental car which I commandeered and set out to see what I could see! I called the Collection […]
Still the cleanest record bin in the game – I think this is only my second time ever stopping in. Went way over here to visit a Walmart to pick up some odds and ends and strolled over. Found the red album lower left and one other one instantly in the front of the stack […]
The well long ago ran dry on thrift stores anywhere in the vicinity which I have not visited and blogged about. But occasionally I find one which I overlooked and of course make a bee line to dig through their filthy old vinyl! I reached New To You with my girlfriend and her daughter in […]
I have had my eye on this place for a long time but never made the trip. On an unseasonably warm weekend, I made the bike ride from Elmhurst out to Berkeley and back. I was rewarded for my work! Google maps has some misinformation which I have pending fixes already submitted on. It has […]
VDOs are around the city but many (most?) do not have vinyl, they have limited housewares and mostly just clothes. I have picked up some cool threads from Addison’s store and I have also pulled some vinyl out of there. Before I went in on this day, I commented aloud that since the first time […]
After a wild Friday night and a rough Saturday night working, I woke up Sunday to an awesome breakfast and then a drive back east to the airport. I had some time to kill and found Thorndale on the way. Lucky for me, they had a Goodwill. Unlucky for me, they best they could muster […]
I visited West Chicago a while back when I heard about a new thrift store opening. We took the train and came out on a Sunday so did not get to inspect the St. V’s across the street. This Saturday, we drove and hit up both. After checking out some other new St. V’s lately, […]
