Hot Summer Night
Stormcloud in the air
I went shopping for music today. Hit the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis and Cheapo in Uptown.
Flipping through the vinyl bins, I saw my life flash before my eyes.
Do you remember Honeymoon Suite
Do you remember Guiffria
Do you remember Dream Academy
Do you remember David + David
I do.
Vividly.
I'm not saying any of this was the best music ever, but I sure liked it a lot when I was… younger.
I almost bought an old 12" of Frankie's Relax
I did buy some import vinyl… Inside the record jacket I found the poster below:
I also bought a Moev record from 1988. I'm working on making iPod/iTunes playlist versions of old mix tapes I made once upon a time. Jesus, fuck, but it's hard to find some of that stuff in any format at all anymore. I hate to digitize from cassette… but if I have to resort to that, I suppose I will.
I need a turntable, anyway. Should I buy a new, cheap, and über-simple turntable? Or should I get a used Stanton or Technics DJ deck to record from? I have caviar taste but only a low- to mid-fi budget. And then? I would love to digitize recording for people!

I remember Dream Academy, Honeymoon Suite. That takes me right back to highschool, with my short Molly hair, fingerless lace gloves, and gawdy broaches at my throat.
I haven't posted the story yet, but I shall. At least a portion of it, anyway. ;)
