Musical Monday

I fixed the amp i bought on saturday. I got a 100 watt marshall for $15 from a junk store. I was skeptic to buy it being afraid that it wouldnt turn or, or if it did that the speaker would be blown.
Well first off the chord was split all the way by where it connects to the on/off switch was. So i spliced it back together and popped in a new fuse. Bam! it works. I almost had a heart attack. Id been whining and complaining all day yesterday that i wasted money i didnt have to spend on it. Now im glad i did!

Rev. Dead Eye "One Eyed Soul Saver" is coming to Cleveland this tuesday. Hes playin at Now Thats Class. Hes one of my favorite new one man bands. He plays kinda trashy delta blues. Lots of slide guitar too.



John Schooley. This is a song off his record on Voodoo Rhythm Records.



I want one of those washboard vests. I saw some one in the Goddamn Gallows wearing one but thought i was homemade. I guess theres more. SO COOL!



Chucklefoot...this guy is cool. Cleveland needs one of these dudes.




Bloodshot bill.....covering my favorite Eddie Cochran song. Diggin his shirt!

Found some new treasures!!!!!

Well Erin and I went running around yesterday. Were huge fans of flea markets, garage sales, and junk shops. So when we find a new one were in trouble because there goes all of our money. We did good though. We hit up some thrift stores we dont normally go to, because theyre on the other side of town.

I found a hat that ive been looking for. Its real hard for me to find one that fits good, because i have a skinny head. I also found a new cd rack. I rarely buy cds so it will last me for a while before i fill it up. I got them both for real cheap. Then we found some 45's which were a bust. Crappy 80's country. They had good titles so i thought id give it a whirl.



After we left we were on our way to another store when we passed this real hole in the wall ghetto shop. I said "hey maybe we should go there, those places always have records". Guess what, they did! Not so many good ones though. Mostly 70's soul and blues. I did find a Bobby Darin record for a buck though.
Then I found some real treasures. I got an amp, which doesnt work. I thought id take a chance on it. It needs a new cord because the wire in it broke and the part that plugs into the wall is corroded but the rest is fine. I also need to put a new fuse in it because that was sorta corroded too. When i went up to get a price on it i spotted a leather biker jacket. I already have one but i could have used another, especially this one because it looks old as dirt. I got the amp for 15, the jacket for 5. So even though the amp doesn't work "yet" the cheap price on the jacket paid off. To buy a jacket like at a vintage shop is usually at least $50+.





Thats about it on the new stuff i found. I also got a new tattoo this weekend, and watched Blacula with Erin.




Well i guess thats about it. Had a good week findin stuff, hangin with the girlfriend, gettin tattoos, and watching crappy blacksploitation movies!

Brand Spankin New!

Well this weekend my girlfriend and I went to a couple places. I always find something cool at Half Price Books, whether its movies, cds , records, or books. Its all cool, and just a neat place to go.

I got a bunch of stuff, but no books.....what are the chances of that!

As for the records i got: Smokey Robinson, The Ventures, Some Spooky Sounds, and some Chuck Berry!

I really dig this halloween record. I first saw it from a friend of mine. He uses part of it as record art for his band.....




Terror Firmer......i have no idea what i was thinking when i bought this. Ten Bucks. Down the drain.....kinda entertaining, but still.
I havent watched Sleepaway Camp yet but Ive seen parts so im not worried about that.




Lastly, a good guy whose name i will not mention gave me a copy of Downtime! It features a member of the legendary punk band FANG! I encourage everyone to check it out!
