NO MORE BRAEKS IN '08
 
- Won't stop running their mouth about old collectibles, missed opportunities in life/collecting/their divorce/the beatles (usually in that order)
It's funny you keep mentioning "divorce," 'cause most of the guys I've observed like that don't appear to have ever had a GHOST of a love life at all...
 
this is the single most self-reflexive post in the history of soulstrut. and i didn't even read it.
 
Oh yeah what else did he talk about? The Thermin and the history of it's creator like for 10 minutes nonstop and how you could buy the DVD for $12. OMG, kill me now.
I know this dude too, he flosses a blank cheque from brian wilson to me and can't stop bemusing about the potential value of autographs, his favorite focus; contemplating about the ones he almost aquired.

He's got a fish brain mouth and will go on over and over again about dennis wilson picking up the manson family girls and bonnie bramlett punching elvis costello and the kidnapped leon theremin. Theres another beach boys maniac I know too who'll end up goin' on and on, and the easiest way to end the conversations with both of them is to just talk about how big of a pussy Mike Love is. They attribute anyone ever calling them soft for liking the Beach Boys to Mike Love and they'll just go, 'yeah that guys an asshole!' and they set me free. I think the statement alone gives them the same release theyre looking for by telling me the same story again.

There is this one old dude digger who thinks he is my best friend because he comes into he shop and talks my fuggin ear off(same shit over and over and over, bugs the livin shit outta me) and if I see him out at antoher spot, he does the same thing but since Im looking for records also in this situation, he augments his hours(YES hours) of babbling with questions of what Im finding...but it is delivered in this "hey friend" kind of tone, so if fuggin go off on dude, Im gonna look like a huge asshole..BUT yesterday, I roll into the 45 spot that I go to even if I am broke, because I find it theraputic to just sit on the floor and look through thousands of 45s for a bit...and I hear "Hey Big man" in that voice and cringe...but about 5 minutes into his babbling he said some seriously racist shit and I went off on dude...sucks the dude is a bigot, but I am glad he let me know this and gave me a window to just to tell dude to leave me the fuck alone...

Uh-huh....that's what we all said
 
theres an annual book fair here that has a record room, two of these dudes got in a little scuffle because one was going left-to-right down the bins and one was going right-to-left. when they met up they started sissy-fighting with the little slaps and my friend i hadnt seen in months was there and all like "DUDES. THEYRE JUST RECORDS. CHILL THE FUCK OUT." which set them straight for a little while.


same Frickin' dudes i see at every possibly record-related convention in my hometown. one of them makes jokes about the records he's looking at, REALLY loudly beacuse he knows everything he says is pure gold. but its the same 3 jokes, and theyre all Frickin' sooo stupid i cant believe it. same dude always has to mention at the top of his lungs how hes looking for any Tiny Tim records he can find. i Frickin' hate these dudes.
 
There's actually an old "LOUD" guy at one of my spots. He walks around with a binder full of god knows what. He talks really loudly and makes exclamations like he is the king of the world. I guess he doesn't post online much, lol.

This thraed is my therapy, you must all deal if you read it.

BINDER DUDES. fuck these guys...or girls if youre talking about my hometown. probably 60-year-old lady who will go through a box of 45s at a show, stop and look up EVERY SINGLE ONE she pulls out in her stupid-ass binder. im not talking a box full of potential raerz, im talking a box full of the tops hits from 1965-1985. that shit pisses me off, but as long as theyre not hogging the soul 45 boxes, im straight.

i mean seriously. do these people not have memories? it would probably be handy to have a little booklet with some shit you might have forgotten about that youre looking for or whatever, but jesus. these people CANT remember if they already have "born in the usa" on 45 already or not? and a BINDER? come on. a Frickin' binder? who needs a binder when you're apparently still trying to grab all the common shit. that should be lik 4 peices of paper stapled together, not a full binder.

i think i just hate people with bad memories.
