Afternoon commute theme song.
Rockit Scientist closed so I had to stop at Kim’s instead. Oops.
Three things:
1. East Village Radio is on my shortlist of all time favorite radio stations.
2. Veronica Vasicka, DJ and owner of the label Minimal Wave, has a kick ass show every Sunday from 6 to 8 pm.
3. Alessandro, from Mannequin Mailorder, is a guest on tonight’s show.
Minimal Wave is one of my favorite record labels and I have ordered quite a few LPs from Mannequin in the past. In fact, I sent Alessandro a message while I was in Rome to find all the best rekkid shops. The list he gave me was amazing; each shop was an absolute goldmine for someone who’s into dark wave, cold wave, minimal synth, and early industrial music.
(Of course, the week I was there, all the shops were closed for summer vacation. Go figure.)
After boxing hundreds of rekkids.
I don’t think I can do Record Store Day 2012, ‘cause these rekkids don’t move themselves. Sorry Academy, Rockit Scientist, Other Music, Permanent, et all.
You know I love you!
The Clairtone “Project G”
This was the stereo console used in The Graduate.
I’m just getting started. I haven’t even made a dent.
It’s a foggy night here in Gotham, so I am sitting at home and listening to my collection of Numero Group LPs.
During my last visit to Rochester, I bought an enormous slab of black granite from the weirdest estate sale in history. It’s about 3” thick, 24” across and 16” deep. The ladies running the sale gave me a strange look when I asked for a price, the “boy, you’ve lost your mind” look… (I know it well).
From the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew what I wanted to do. See above for reference.
