Added some more 1980s Video 8-format movies to the collection.

For that, I'm grateful to Dave Kendall. Always will be.

Good haul from the thrift store and local record shop this past weekend.

I believe in you.

Fixed up a free Denon cassette deck. Picked up some inexpensive tapes at the thrift store to make sure my work was solid. It was. Good tunes, too.

Bit of a blend of "I can't live without my radio" and a smidge "you magnificent son of a bitch!" from today's second-hand vinyl soundtrack finds.

Your chances of finding Killing Joke's second LP for $5 while perusing the neighborhood antiques store is never zero. Same with LPs by Taco and John Hiatt.

Solid finds at the Second Avenue in Philly today.

The film holds up nicely and the soundtrack is a bona fide classic.

A Saturday on the water yielded sightings of seals, eagles and more.

Good weekend for finding some great music at the local library sale and thrift store. Completed my Dumptruck acquisition spree in one fell swoop, grabbed Tiny Victories "Those of Us Still Alive" on CD and Jimmy Buffett's "Floridays" on cassette.

Definitely more than meets the eye.

"And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer. The benefits of a classical education." -- Hans Gruber ("Die Hard")

Added to the stax of wax this weekend. 1980s new wave, Alabama power pop, an underrated soundtrack and a band I'd heard of yet never listened to before (hello, Woodentops!).

Some comics reading lined up for the coming. Love a good Marvel omnibus edition.

After spending a few hours at the museum, we traversed a few blocks to the Second District Brewery over on Bancroft Street to check it out. As we sat at the bar, the music started up and it was Circle Jerks' "Coup D'Etat." My kind of joint.
