Heart of The City

Feeling very musical today. Though the office stereo is in fritz (I think it just the speaker cables), I bought a bunch of records last night. I went to Record Theatre on Main and Lafayette and the experience was cool- mellow background music (reggae, Radiohead, hip-hop, etc) and time to browse. They had a lot of cool 45 singles left over from record Store Day (see old post). Nothing like the sound of a fresh record on it's very first play. No scratches yet- love it.

I'll tell ya what I bought:

• Gamma Ray- Jay Reatard mix (Beck) 7"
  
  
• a double Yep Rock 7" single with: Sickey Boy (Robyn Hitchcock and Venus 3) b/w Heart of The City- live (Nick Lowe) 7"
  
  
• The Hitcher (Swervedriver) 47"
  
  
• Mykonos (Fleet Foxes) 7" in a fancy gatefold sleeve.
  
  
• Blue Collar Funk (Scott Down & DJ Culter) 7"- local boys make old funk new.
  
  
• A double LP, Pressure Sands Presents: Every Mouth Must Be Fed 1973-1976- a collection of reggae songs starring I-Roy ("this killer set from the vaults of Pete Weston's original Roots imprint Micron Music Limited....")

Oh yeah, and I bought then while wearing T-Shirt Of The Week #11:
full-front white boom boxes on a green tee.
I bought this one at Marshall's- of all places- and it is a very cool design. It looks like the same art used on a bunch of Ubiquity records tees, but I don't think it is the same art. Anyway cool shirt, nice design- perfect for record shopping. I love records.
