Halloween ?

I've only managed to get some cool-sounding kiddie microphones for like, 25 cents. I could have scored plenty of Miami-Vice era threads at this one place I used to go to but, I resisted.

My favorite flea market find.

I paid $1 or $2 for it. The flea markets have all but disappeared around here.

I recently found the blue and red LP versions of those Beatles Greatest Hits records for 50 cents each.

Someone I knew once bought a Babe Ruth signed baseball for a dollar at a garage sale that he ended up selling through a Japanese baseball magazine for five grand.

The Killer Criterion DVD for $20

My gawwwwwd! I just got that the other day, it was in a pile of old records a pal was giving away and I'd been wanting it for a while w/o stooping to pay for the overpriced one at my nearby record store. The thing is I was Djing the same night and was already going to play Albert Brooks' Love Song into moog Bolero into Switched On Santa-Little Drummer Boy and now I could play a moog Bolero with moaning!!!! It put the soundman on edge as he hadn't been laid in a month!
If you like that album also seek out Sounds Of Love by 101 Strings, it's as good as Astro Sounds yet different, besides the obligatory moaning tracks it has a smooth velvetty DJ voice pontificating poetically on "Yesterday" and "The Sounds Of Silence." And it's a gatefold of an anonymous woman in a slinky dress!

$25 for a three-piece suit, navy blue with white pin-stripes.

fits me perfectly. here's me in it with Amiina.

Dude, how come I was not aware of this? That would be something I'd like to see in some promo photos.

Come on now this isn't the, "tell us about your brushes with fame" thread. One thing at a time chief.........one thing at a time.

Realistic (the Radio Shack brand) AM/FM tuner: $1.99
Iggy Pop "New Values" lp: 59 cents

The tuner isn't the greatest but it gets the job done. The thrift store that had the iggy pop record also had a bunch of lou reed records that i also picked up. someone must have been liquidating their worldly possesions

I haven't thought about it in years, for some reason I was sitting here and it popped into my head.
I think maybe I'll go get it, see if it still fits.
But promo photos? What are we, The Monkees?
