lingering doubts
Apr. 21st, 2023 04:08 pmToday is MeDad's 21st Deathiversary. I have espoused yearly about how much I dislike April. Dad, Uncle OC, tax day etc. I do not have the fortitude to do it again this year. Go back in the archives if you want to read about my anti-Aprilism.
Tomorrow is Record Store Day. I am glad to not be at El Recordo Sto' for it. My day driving the train will be more fun and rewarding. Maybe even rainy. I will be surrounded by kids who think I am the coolest guy ever. Not record snobs saying shit like "I ONLY buy 180 gram vinyl if is super-limited edition, comes from the Nashville plant and is hand pressed by Larry. I it's not a Larry Pressing won't even look at it!" Snobs of any sort suck, but record snobs are some of the worst. "I can't believe you listen to THAT BAND. They are soooooo last week. I am listening to a band so obscure they have not even formed yet. I am so much hipper than you!". I one had a dude ask me what my top 10 LP's were at the end of a year. I responded I did not think there were 10 GREAT records released. "You're problem is you just don't UNDERSTAND MUSIC" said the used car salesman to the record store manager. (sidenote-I really disliked this guy for quite some time but he just kept coming back to Da Sto'. He wore me down and we remain good friends to this day. Hmph!)
