Rolling Stones - Take It Or Leave It

Ugh. Wow I don't like any of these songs. Ghost Ship is ok, but the recording isn't great - it's a bootleg. Barzin is ok. Savina and Autechre are ok, but this is a terrible run of tracks, and proof that I really don't need to keep this much music on my computer. Granted, I've never even listened to REM's Accelerate, but I'm pretty sure it's shit.

It's also clear from this that I spent every penny I made on music. I still have at least half of these on vinyl.

Touch and Go is nearly gone


Doin' the crystal, baby
Diggin' the glory scene
Eel McGreel beach comber
I'm gonna shoot my friends
I'm lyin' to Jesus Christ, man
He won't forgive this sin

I promise not to get too uptight
And I promise not to kill anybody

-Didjits


Excuse me, monsieur eight ball
Who told you to get me high?

Also sold a Kinks BBC Sessions CD set, the out of print Rhino edition of the Plimsouls' album, and the original edition of the Love & Rockets self-titled CD.

Standing behind me in line to sell stuff was the former head buyer of the Virgin Records store on Sunset. Thought about using the trade to buy the new Robyn Hitchcock box set or some of the new KMFDM reissues. Then took the cash.
