Day 2198 - Grateful Dead "Skeletons In The Closet" - 05.28.17

I have diving deep into the Grateful Dead rabbit hole recently.  It started with listening to a Ryan Adams interview on the WTF podcast.  In that interview Ryan and Marc spoke about the song Warf Rat, which I had never heard before.  So I decided to track it down.  In doing so I started reading and got more interested in the band, because I honestly never really got into them.  So I started listening to records.  That was several weeks ago and then coincidentally a new documentary on the Dead premiered on Amazon Prime and so I watched that as well.  The only record I own of the Grateful Dead this best of collection.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2192 - TMNT VHS - 05.22.17

A few weeks ago I saw a bunch of VHS tapes left out on the side of the road free to whoever wanted them.  There was a bunch of other things, but I stopped because I saw the tapes.  There were a bunch of Disney clam shells and other kids films.  This copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was in that pile.  I took this and a few of the Disney films.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2191 - The Best Of The Blues Brothers - 05.21.17

I gave this record a spin recently.  I usually put this on and go right to "Rubber Biscuit" because in my mind if I wanted to listen to some of the other songs I simply put on the CD of the soundtrack or my record or "Briefcase Full of Blues."  However when I listened this last time I listened from start to finish and discovered that the version of "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" is not the same version from the film soundtrack.  The thing that stuck out to me was that it did not have the acknowledgement of the police that is in the movie.  I'll never forget that part because there is a cut to John Candy and I love that beat.  This version on this record is equally as great.  I love little discoveries like this.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2185 - Schubert Sonatas - 05.15.17

This is a record I picked up sometime in the last year.  I only really know that because it was in a big group of un-filed records which means I must have bought them in the last year or so.  I pulled this off the shelf a few weeks back on a Sunday morning to have some relaxing music.  I fell in love with it.  Not only is the music great, and is perfect when you want a peaceful morning, but the record condition is mint and sounds amazing.  I gave this a spin also on Mother's Day when I was talking with my mother on the phone.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2179 - CIA - 05.09.17

This morning I spent a bunch of time in North Hollywood walking around while I my cars tires were being aligned.  The shop I went to was near the CIA (California Institute of Abnormalities).  I went and saw my son's band play there years ago.  It still looks like a cool venue.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2178 - A Flock Of Seagulls - 05.08.17

Day 2177 - La La Land Blu-Ray - 05.07.17

This last weekend I finally ordered this record by Theo Katzman.  It came this week.  It is a real solid record.  This is going to get a lot of spins on the old turntable.  This is something I saw today.
