Levis Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 ^ oh is that your first? (album by a band without a wiki page) I had a friend give me some 20 gigs of music two days ago. We had to stop because his external HDD ran out of space. We hadn't got very far, it's a to be continued. I have enough music to keep me busy for a loooooooong time.

blind-fitter Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Interesting, how one can casually mention purchasing an album in an obscure shop in Budapest, and nobody bats an eyelid, as if that were the most normal, everyday occurence imaginable.

Levis Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I find nothing eyelid-batworthy about you picking up an obscure album from am obscurely named obscure record store. Only that it's in another country, but I'm assuming that was a little bit of a holiday? Holidays are normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 eyelid-batworthy Love it! I can see the sense in what you're saying, but...don't you worry that you're sometimes too rational? If I observed, through this thread, that Farin had picked up a (insert artist name here) album in Frikk Records, Reykjavik, I would feel at least slightly compelled to ask, "Farin, what you been up to in Reykjavik?" If you announced that you had procured some shoe-gazey bollox on a Shanghai market stall, I would be tempted to ask, "How comes you're hanging out in Shanghai, Levis?" I know that holidays are permitted, and many places, even the most god-forsaken ghost towns, have music shops nowadays, but, um..well...y'know? On this occasion, I was thousands of miles from home, in a city I had never visited before, in a random part of town, killing time with the youngster while other family members were visiting an attraction, (if you can call the Synagogue & Holocaust Memorial tour "an attraction"), when I chanced upon a tiny hole up a murky back alley (ooh er, missus), specialising in "Psychobilly". I've been around a bit, and never yet, by design or chance, encountered a Psychobilly shop, the sort of place that positively welcomes my kind of hairstyle and footwear. I thought that was eyelid-batworthy. Anyway, whatever happened to the lost art of conversation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well, I would have batted my eyelids rapidly (and I don't mean Jessica Rabbit style) if you were in a place like Delhi or Bombay because NO SUCH PLACE exists there, India being a (*understatement alert*) bit slow on the uptake when it comes to music. Hungary, on the other hand, I consider to be relatively more 'hip' and more likely to have a specialist record store and murky alleyways. Furthermore, if Farin or I did venture out of our cosy abodes into lands unexplored, it would be a curiosity simply because we are broke students and so can't just country-hop (well, I can't anyway - he at least has three countries sitting around with minimal border checks, the lucky thing). If we did, we'd probably tell someone or the other, given that it's such a rarity. And again, Iceland is the sort of place I'd expect weirdo music stores to pop up. Shanghai, not so much. As for conversation, here's one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did, we'd probably tell someone or the other, given that it's such a rarity. there are almost no border checks in the whole EU - which would also include Iceland in a couple years (yay, obscure music shops ) unfortunately the travel and stay will have to be paid... and as much as I'm a music fan - I wouldn't make such a journey just for shopping I could do a quick country-hop to Poland or Denmark, but I'm not too familiar to either music scene really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 That's hardly relevant, I'm pretty certain 'Texas Terri Bomb' isn't Hungarian. And a quick Google search confirms it. (never trust the name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Texas Terri is awesome. I've seen her "live" a couple of times, most recently at the Blackpool Rebellion Fest this summer. She puts on one of the best ass-kicking rock'n'roll shows I've ever encountered. She makes Courtney Love look like Dido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
