You've got two now: Everybody's Music and 1709 Records. I found stuff in both places, tho it took a lot of work and looking in hidden corners.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:31pm
Rich in Washington:

The former has/had this annoying tendency to NOT price their records - the owner would sort of look at the records, look at the buyer, make up a price. I stopped shopping there because of that.
Avatar 12:33pm
Tony Coulter:

Now they have big boxes of records for $10 -- but you *have* to take them all. I didn't take them up on that. But they do have scads of $1 records, so....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:33pm
Rich in Washington:

The latter, I really like. You may have noticed that the bulk of their inventory was from the former Sonic Recollections. I really wish they'd get over their weird insistence of NOT having a new arrival bin. The owners are under the impression that regular visitors really love having to comb through the entire store to find new things.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm
Rich in Washington:

I've discussed it with the owners and they kind of don't get it. I sort of blew my chance when one of them asked me point blank if I didn't visit because the shop stunk like candles really bad - apparently people had been complaining.

They're great, but many of the records have covers that are subtle enough in their oddity that one could take them as straight easy listening.

there were a few he did that were outside of the style we are familiar with, some stuff he did for comic book advertisements when I was a kid, that I was unaware were by him. He was not only a really gifted caricaturist but also very versatile as an illustrator.

Always dug the detail Jack Davis lavished on his subjects' shoes. You could actually create shoes from his drawings. Soles (and holes), heels, stray shoelaces fluttering at the end of a mayhem-stricken leg. Typified his close work overall.

What I've though about doing -- though talking about it now will make it harder to pull off -- is a show where I deliberately screw up segues & mic levels, stop tracks in the middle, and so on -- without ever admitting I mean to do it.

Back in the '80s a friend's father, in his 60s or 70s at the time, visited us at the record store where we worked. He spied ATV's Vibing Up the Senile Man in the rack, picked it up and walked to the register, where he told the clerk, "I'd like a dozen of these."

Alex Ferguson was supposed to play on the crappy record my buddies and I made back in '79. He was staying with Pete Landswick (Flip Side photographer) in town on the morning we recorded it. He didn't want to get out of bed (for us, at least).

Too bad he couldn't have recorded his part while lying in bed.

Long story short, geezerette, the first single in the Flip Side catalog, albeit not one they generally claim. Group was M (aka The Sound of M). https://www.discogs.com/M-Espionage-Baby/release/3851534 (Oops, guess we did it in '78!) The note is entirely untrue. All versions were in sleeves...unless Al at Flip Side generated another batch of them without notifying us.

Nope, alas. I have friends who are, unlike me, "real musicians." I myself am a virtuoso on remote, but that's about it. Back then we'd do the usual ad hoc insta-band thing to play parties and such. M and its forerunner, The Twits, managed to play shows at LA punk venues.

Dean,music is still in your life. If you were a "real" musician I think being a dad would be much more difficult. Sounds like you made some really good decisions.

Most of my friends are artists of some kind and I've seen all sorts of scenarios play out. Plenty of chaos.
  2:35pm
Dean:

That's the best perspective, for sure, geezerette. Being a dad is a daily blast. Listening to music, too. Playing music for a living or even a committed hobby, OTOH... Besides, I knew I'd done my best when my son *voluntarily* purchased Zeke's "T-500" for his iPod.
