+ Bill Labounty - This Night Won't Last Forever his albums are all immaculately produced and are easily consumed.

Yeah buyee is okay. I bought a cd from a yahoo auction to test it out. Unless you are going to bundle stuff or reeeeeeeeally want the item it may not be worth it between the fees and paying shipping twice

Holy crap! Their site shows they have Cyril Neville’s For the Funk of it! I’ve been looking for it for probably 5 years at the least.

Stu Larsen - Resolute (vinyl) a bit folk, a bit blues, a bit all its own. Waiting for his new album Marigold which I pre-ordered from a local shop.

Yeah I probably need to raise it. I probably set it 5 years ago. I don’t do much on Discogs, maybe 2-3 sales a year if that. I didn’t even know the custom form changed and couldn’t find it because I was looking for the older smaller version it used to be.

I recently had an order for a record i had listed on discogs to Canada. I have $25 flat international rate for shipping mainly to deter international shipping. I almost quoted a different price for the invoice but decided I would just refund the difference after I shipped since I wasn't sure how much it would be since I don't sell much anymore. I used to regularly 10-12 years ago and prices have really changed. Either way to ship from Long Beach, CA to Ontario Canada for one record ended up being $20.75!! Insanity. I'm assuming it arrived in the quoted time frame of 7-10 business days. I haven't heard anything,

I bought the exclusive and pricey Z5STBT brand in Oct 2017 and have had no issues. Unfortunately it appears they are no longer available but at $11.99 I'm not surprised. I only use it to rip music off CD's.

Picked this up months ago for $2 and finally getting around to spinning it. Enjoyable for what it is. You know what you're getting with the Trammps.

Huh, never thought the Leo releases were unauthorized.

I watched some of these when I commuted last year. Very well executed.

Was listening to Meditations on Freedom and started thinking I need more Jason Palmer in my life and went to see if there were any bargains on eBay. Dirt cheap copies of Jason Palmer plays Minnie Ripperton - Take A Little Trip

That sucks. This doesn't: Tommy McGee - I'm A Stranger (Positive-Negative + demos/singles)

Damn. RIP. I really enjoy his playing and singing.

Jerry Gonzalez brother Andy maybe?

followed by Anthony Joseph - Time probably my least favorite Anthony Joseph album, but still has many quality moments. Meshall Ndegeocello producing the album reduced the rawness that make Anthony Joseph so wonderful.

Ned Doheny - Separate Oceans (Hard Candy + demos)

So good I had to spin it again!

Nope. I get the bad rap unions have. I'm just always fascinated by how many people talk about unions (not you, in general) without ever being in one or knowing anything about them.

Was able to score both Noah Preminger releases for the Newville label which is by subscription only. Excited to check them out.

So is it just non-union people who hate unions? I love my union. They are there to make sure I am being treated fairly. As someone who spent 15 years in the private sector without a union, knowing I can achieve my career goals by doing my job and not have silly office politics get in the way is incredible. This is from someone who has never had to contact my union for any reason work related. There are people that abuse the unions power but you get crappy people in all walks of life. I don't get the anger about unions unless you've never been fortunate enough to be represented by a good union. Long live IBEW! and my pension!

Gave it another spin. Really enjoy relaxing to this one. Now: Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody

Jon Jang - Self Portrait it really doesn't get better than Mr.Jang

The electricity to operate a desktop based on SCE tier one rates for a whole year would cost you about $215 - $250. The actually consumption of a pc was all over the place based on what I was looking at so this is just an estimate using SCE $.18/kwh rate. Though I think its $.187 but didn't feel like pulling out my bill. yes, it would be a substantial amount if people did this for the same artist.

Math for fun! It appears spotify pays $.006 to $.0084 So a 3 mins song on continuous look without interruption it would provide $1.44 to $2.16 a day and $526 to $736 year in royalties. Now I'm thinking if you made a 10 second song and played that continuously could you cheat the system. I wonder there is a minimum time for royalties. I don't think so.

Luke Winslow-King - I'm Glad Trouble Don't Last Always. This was a bandcamp purchase when they waived artist fees. I've spun it twice since getting it yesterday, but the B side 4 times in total. This got me thinking how uncommon it is to enjoy a B side more than an A side, given most albums are constructed to be front heavy, or at least that used to be how you constructed albums.
