Forever Young

A while back we bought a book for my daughter titled Forever Young. The text is by Bob Dylan from the song of the same name and the illustrations are by Paul Rogers.  No, not the same Paul Rogers of Bad Company fame though. The illustrations begin by showing a fellow modeled after Woody Guthrie giving an acoustic guitar to a young boy in the honor of a long standing tradition.  The illustrations continue to show the boy playing at home to his parents, playing to a crowd in the park, playing in his room, daydreaming, walking and singing in marches, playing with a group of musicians in the park, and finally giving the guitar to a young girl. My daughter calls this book "the guitar book." We have been reading this book here and there for a while now. However, lately it's been in heavy rotation during our nightly bedtime stories.

Forever Young By Bob Dylan and Illustrated by Paul Rogers (Ginee Seo Books, 2008)

This past Saturday afternoon I found some time to pull my acoustic guitar from it's slumber and noodle around and strum along to some songs while my wife and daughter were out. When they came home my daughter was excited to see the guitar and wanted to strum the strings and play with the guitar pick.  I let her play around with what she wanted and answered her questions as she pointed to different parts of the guitar. 

A few months ago I taught her to talk into the soundhole of the guitar and hear her voice inside the guitar body.  On Saturday she spoke into the soundhole with her mouth up against the strings. Instinctively, I asked her "who's in there?"  Without hesitating and full of confidence my daughter replied back to me, "Bob Dylan!"  This response obviously made my wife and I  laugh heartily out loud.

That's my girl!

Classic.

The Fun Is In The Hunt...And The Deal

Two new albums that I have anticipating this spring were being released today. At lunch I went looking for these new releases and see if there were any other deals. My friend Eric gave me money if I found the new album by The Hold Steady and I headed out into the beautiful weather.

I first went to Best Buy and they had a couple of the albums I was looking for but not everything on the list.  This particular location has consolidated their racks in the last few weeks and you can tell they aren't ordering as much stock.  The selection is not as bad as Borders, but it's not very good either.

After walking around Best Buy a while I decided to leave without buying anything and head over to Target. I parked at the edge of the parking lot and walked past all the stay at home moms to the electronics department. My expectations were low going in, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I found.

Court Yard Hounds - S/T [Columbia] - $9.99 (for Mary)
The Hold Steady - Heaven Is Everywhere [Vagrant] - $9.99
Minus The Bear - Omni [Dangerbird] - $6.99
The New Pornographers - Together [Matador] - $7.99
She And Him - Volume Two [Merge] - $9.99

The Court Yard Hounds and The New Pornographers records at Best Buy were $11.99 each.  I checked Amazon and found I could have saved $2 each on The Hold Steady and Court Yard Hounds albums but would have spent $5.00 more on the Minus The Bear album so I actually saved $1.00 - pre-tax of course.  Besides I also picked up greeting cards for Mother's Day...something I would never buy online.

Overall, not bad for brick and mortar. Now if I could only buy these albums that cheaply at my favorite record stores instead of the box stores.

New Music - Release dates for May and June

Since I have been buying some music lately I figured that it was time that I made a list of new albums that I needed to get or check out in the upcoming weeks and months. Although I have already bought new albums by Spoon, Johnny Cash, Drive By Truckers, and Patty Griffin there have been quite a few albums that I have missed already.  Most are by favorite artists or ones that that I follow. This could be a very good year for music if the first few months are indicative of the entire year!

Broken Bells - S/T
Carolina Chocolate Drops - Genuine Negro Jig
The Nels Cline Singers - Initiate [Cryptogramophone]

Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 - Propellor Time [Sartorial]
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - I Learned The Hard Way
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - The Brutalist Bricks
Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep [Nonesuch]
Midlake - The Courage Of Others
Allison Moorer - Crows
Robert Pollard: We All Got Out of the Army [GVB Inc]

Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power: Legacy Edition [Columbia/Legacy]
Peter Wolf - Midnight Souveniers
Various Artists: The T.A.M.I. Show - Collector's Edition [DVD] [Shout! Factory]


To further that sentiment the month of May starts out with a bang and holds up pretty well through June so far. This week some of the albums I have been anticpating all year are coming out (e.g. Hold Steady and New Pornographers) and the trend keeps going each week into the middle of June. Here's what I am looking forward to in the next couple of months.

Lunch Hour Finds - Antique Mall

Found some more 45's at the antique mall today at lunch.

The Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe (Capitol, 1963) [LP]
The Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick b/w The Lord's Prayer (Capitol, 1963) [Green Vinyl]
The Beatles - Nowhere Man b/w What Goes On (Capitol, 1965)
KISS - Tears Are Falling b/w Any Way You Slice It (Mercury, 1985) [Picture Sleeve]
John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) b/w Listen, The Snow Is Falling (Capitol, 1971) [Green Vinyl]
Motley Crue - Looks That Kill b/w Piece Of Your Action (Elektra, 1983) [Picture Sleeve]
Poison - Talk Dirty To Me b/w Want Some, Need Some (Enigma/Capitol, 1986) [Picture Sleeve]
The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up b/w  (   [Picture Sleeve]
Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted b/w  (Soul, 1966)

Afterwards I went through the drive thru at McDonald's next to the antique mall.  I got in line and placed my order and was advised to pull forward to the first window.  As I was paying a young girl asked me "is that vinyl?" while pointing to the passenger seat. I affirmed her query and she went on saying that her "parents made me listen to vinyl copies of their albums as a kid." I advised that I do the same with my daughter with our jukebox and 45's.  She went on to say that her parents had a turntable and she had listened to the likes of John Denver and other 70's artists.  I advised that many bands are releasing their new albums on vinyl and she should pick up her new favorites on vinyl with digital downloads.

I had fun trying to convert the masses and I had a smile on my face all the way back to the office.

Later in the evening my wife, daughter and I went to Borders and I found a few more cheap finds. Ever since Borders (and the other big box retailers for that matter) decided that books were more important than music and movies in their business plan I have not had as enjoyable experience shopping in the store. But as we walked up to the store there were racks outside the front door and a large pink cover emblazoned with the words "The Clash" caught my eye instantly.  I walked up to the rack and checked out the book and was shocked that they were selling this book for $5.99! This hardcover book was normally priced at $40.95.

The Clash by The Clash [Book]

Hardcover: 384 pages
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing (November 4, 2008)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0446539732

After we went in my wife found the book she had come looking for we meandered back to the music and kids section with our daughter in tow. Every Borders store has severely reigned in the floor space of the music department and now the shopper is relegated to new releases, best seller back catalog titles or some diamonds in the rough if you will. These albums that I found fall into the third category. 
Jeff Beck - Truth (Bonus Tracks) (Epic, 1968) [CD] - $8.99
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones (Island, 1983) [CD] - $6.99

On my way out I saw that Uncut Magazine, a music magazine published in the UK, had a feature about "The 50 Greatest Lost Albums."  I didn't pick up the magazine right away, but I'm going to need to go back for that one.

St. Louis Record Collector Show - May 2nd

Yesterday, I went with my friend to the St. Louis Record Collector Show at the American Czech Hall 4690 Landsdowne Avenue in South St. Louis.  I haven't been to this show in well over 10 years, but there is always an interesting assortment of stuff available. The show has been running for 31 years and mostly all at this location. See this article in last week's RFT about the show. The show runs about every other month only on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Admission is $2.50. (8:30 a.m. early bird entry: $5.)

Since my friend is not a morning person we agreed to leave about 10:30 which would put us at the hall about 11:00 a.m. We arrived and found a pretty decent crowd milling about.  I heard one seller exclaim that one guy had been at his booth earlier and dropped $400!  Most of the sellers were selling vinyl on LP or 45 RPM or CD's and DVD's.  I did not see anyone selling posters and such, but maybe there were a few floating around.

I went to the show mostly looking for 45's for the jukebox and was not disappointed. I came away with about 35 records plus blank sleeves and bags for 45's and LP's. The first booth that stopped at had a couple of boxes for $1.00 a piece and I found about 14 from this seller. Later, another seller I found on the other side of the hall said he had bought a large lot of 45's from a guy in Louisiana and had not even cracked 12 of the boxes.  He was selling them three for $1.00 and the quality ended up being pretty good.  I ended up going through what amounts to one box and found 21 titles to buy. I was also excited to find many of the original basic sleeves for the records.  I got the guy's phone number to maybe buy the rest of the boxes for $25 per box. 

Meanwhile, my friend found a Devo DVD, but not much else so he was ready to go pretty quick. I could have stayed another hour or two, but since Scott was ready to go I figured I wouldn't leave him bored and get going too. Since my wife was still out with her sister, we grabbed some lunch at Qdoba afterwards and headed home.

My friend Tom, who couldn't go to the show this time, said that he's ready with his truck and trailer for next time. He might need it! The prices were pretty reasonable if you look around. I probably could have found some more rare singles had I been able to look a little harder.  The records I did find were good and decent quality, but not overly exciting. I think that I will try to get to the show a little earlier next time though. (By the way...Thanks goes to Tom for the tip on the article).
