Wax attack
I don't think I have time today to get into too much detail on what went down this weekend: crime, violence, graphic design and computer peripherals all played a role over the topsy-turvy two-day period.
However, I should mention that I spent some time Saturday browsing the racks at Joe's Record Paradise in Rockville. Many people have lamented the lack of a good used music store in D.C., and while Joe's doesn't fit the bill (being in Rockville and all) it's worth a trip to Joe's to stock up on vinyl before the long, cold winter.
Although my trip was ostensibly related to stocking up for bluestate (peep the new logo), I ended up with two records that probably won't make it to the Black Cat - Judas Priest's British Steel and the English Beat's What is Beat. I like records: taking them out of their sleeves, carefully placing them on the turntable, flipping them every few tracks, etc. is so much more interactive than just queuing up an MP3 playlist and forgetting about it.
