I was all set to write this week’s blog about my record collection as a kid, but as I started writing, I had a funny feeling I’d already written something similar. It turns out, I was right. On May 20, 2013, I posted Just For the Record which covered the subject nicely.
Why did I have records on the brain? Blame Fab. Two weeks ago, I wrote about the record hunting trip Fab and I went on at the flea market. Fab has been bitten by the vinyl bug big time and suggested that there were a few choice records which would make swell Christmas presents if we were so inclined. I can take a hint so Saturday I spent hours going through discogs.com trying to find the best deals. I can’t mention which ones I went with because Fab might read this and it would spoil the surprise.
While on discogs, I also took the opportunity to search for some records I might be interested in. Mostly children’s records of course, since those are all I ever listened to growing up. When it comes to music, I’m fine listening to CDs and mp3s.
There are so many records on discogs I didn’t even know what to look for. I did find some interesting items, mostly Peanuts and Star Wars related. The trick of course is to find sellers with multiple records on my list to save on shipping.
I advanced through more of the story mode for Skylanders Trap Team. I got to mid-way through what I believe is the last level (where I get to capture Kaos) before my controller needed recharging. I’ve committed to Bushwhack as my principle character for the time being. He’s on level 12, fully tricked out with all his powers and has amassed over 20000 gold (I need 25000 to buy the rare hate in Auric’s shop).
That will conclude this week’s post. Have a good week everybody!
