dudes that take their dates to record stores
- Thread starter Delay
- Start date
Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing. I should work in A&R. Anybody got this Tim Buckleys email? I gotta hook him up with some Turin Brakes fiyah.
I hear Tim Buckley has a son, Jeff, who's pretty good himself, so you might want to give him a shot. If he's not down to do it, he should at least be able to tell you where his old man's at.
I'd wager that Bob Dylan Instrumental dude took his lady home for an afternoon delight. He probably beat down his date with several hours' worth of Richard Linklater rapid-fire BS that she succumbed to his charms before the dinner bell. Those types of assholes always get ass just because they are so persistent.
Among other places that day, I took a date visiting from out-of-town to Waterloo Records (by her request)...and while there, I found a copy of Les Demerle's Spectrum for a dollar. When I told her that I could easily flip it for $80, I could see in her eyes that she totally wanted to F*ck me.
This is the SECOND most common scenario I see in record stores, re: guys and their dates. The first one has the girls looking bored while the man shops. But if the girl is the LEAST bit interested in the vinyl, all of a sudden the male half turns into Mr. Freelance Music Historian. Nothing wrong with this, if done right, but seems like the more these guys try to flex, the more "off" their facts are.
I remember once being in a store when they were playing The 1969 Warner-Reprise Record Show and the male half was verbally annotating each and every song to his ladyfriend: "'Stone Free,' that's a really good Hendrix track that only came out on a greatest hits album...this Kinks song was from their Arthur LP...can you believe this is Fats Domino singing a Beatles song?" And so it went.

so true. But in these parts of the northern hinterland where I reside, it's black skinny jeans, black over-sized nerdy frames, hi-tops, hoody under the tight leather bomber.
Scarves are optional, but always of the kefiyeh (sp?) variety.
And let's not forget the ironic moustache and modern mullet.
But honestly, as douchey as the douches are, at least they are doing their part in keeping vinyl alive.
FAIL.
Being a record dude is not kryptonite to women as evidenced by the high % of men on this board in relationships or married.
Can't speak for comic book dudes though.
what i like about these guys though is while he is talking his girl's earoff about a some common bullshit
i dig through the whole store and get to the listening station first
i literally had a guy pull a record i wanted but as i left the register with many (better) finds i see him pointing to liner notes while girl rolls her eyes

THERE IS NO SEX IN THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM
I thought the game was to NOT be excited at the record store with your chick? Like let her pull a clean copy of Giant Steps and be all "meh" about it and every other record she pulled. Blaseeee Blaseeee!
Sure - but she's ruining it for the rest of us!
I still get asked if I'm buying records for someone - it happened in two spots just his past week in NYC...mind-boggling for this particular city in this particular century if you ask me.
It's part of a bigger joined-at-the-hip problem... I get doing shit together, but there's a limit! Why follow him/her to something you are not interested in or participating in? Oh how I don't miss Thursday afternoons of yore when nine ladies out of 10 at Play de Record were just there as valets.
