So today I headed down to this place thats just opening up in the hamden area of baltimore called the Musical Exchange. The guy who owns it used to have a place on Eastern Ave. and he’s a bank customer of my friend Jason. The place really isn’t even setup and organized much yet, but he’s got it all out there and some of the better stuff that he’s gotten to, on the walls already. Oh to backup .. it s Record shop. All vinyl, and some used CD’s. The main pull of the place is of course the records. Most anything thats not rare is 5 bucks if in good condition or a dollar for questionable stuff, or if its just worth a buck. Anyways, even with the lack of organization yet, I was able to ferret out 4 cool records to add to my collection of Vinyl. Things worth having on vinyl and not just CD.
David Bowie - Heroes
The Doors - LA Woman
The Who - Odds and Sods
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
I was looking for Bob Dylan’s - Blood on the Tracks, and apparently I was the second guy that week looking for it, but to no avail he didn’t have it for either of us. He had a bunch of other Bob Dylan records, some stuff I may have thought to get but I really wasn’t looking for them. I kind of had focused that if I bought a Dylan record today it’d have been Blood on the Tracks. With that I also had some ideas to buy some P-Funk, of the Funkadelic era. I saw some Parliament, but the record that he had was pretty much a lot of stuff I already have on a compilation CD of Parliament stuff.
All in all a good vinyl day. I’m definitely going back to this place when it looks like he’s a bit more organized.
With that .. I also got some film developed today so that will be incoming soon to the gallery (once i get off my ass and hook up my scanner).

It’s only going to get better! I kinda regret not picking up that B-52’s record…maybe it’s still there. It IS their best album!
