I used to be able to spend hours and hours in record stores, and I used to spend hundreds and hundreds of $$ on music every month. After moving to LA, I have not been exposed to music the way I used to. I have recently tried to catch up a little though, I was considering not bothering buying cd’s and instead start downloading music from the world wide web. A friend talked me out of it though, and I am gonna continue being old fashioned for a little while.
I went to Amoeba Records today, which is the record store in Los Angeles. As I said, I used to be able to spend hours and hours in record stores, but my attention span have recently turned into zero, and I get bored. I much rather buy the cd’s online and get them shipped to me now.
Anyways, I had to go to the store today to pick up an vinyl for a school project.
But off course, it is a record store, and there is no way I would leave the store empty handed, I found the latest Easy Star All-Stars album that Ive been wanting for a while… They have in the passed released an album called Radiodread which is Radioheads Ok Computer and another album called Dub Side On the Moon which covers Pink Floyds Dark Side On the Moon. The latest album is called Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, and is yeah, a reggae versions of the Beatles famous album! How can that possible go wrong?
