I got this many many years ago--it's a freak scene. Jazz bagpipes essentially impossible but it's an entertaining attempt.

Just walked to the store. A dude across the street was wearing golden wings.

I dropped by my favorite record store to restock them with my band's LPs. We move an impressive 1-2 a year over there. While the kind employee was checking out logistics for me I decided to browse the local section. I was confused, was this just local metal. But then a non metal band surfaced and I realized what was once a mighty wall was just two racks. Maybe 20-40 albums.
My new friend returned from what happened to be their basement and sheepishly showed she'd found two of our albums down there. If they don't sell after so many months they go down to the dungeon.
This was all a lot to take in. This place is hopping, I interrupted her filling multiple mail orders while other dude at the counter was ringing up some pricey new vinyl. Of course they don't have inventory space for some very slow moving local records (I noticed many of my friends' currently in print records were missing along with their placards). It just bums me out. When I was a kid I started learning about local music flipping through the stuff that was always there. It used to feel like a kind of directory of everyone in town who was really making stuff. We could never be the backbone for their lease, it was just kind of cultural. And once in a while a stranger would come in and buy our record which will never cease to be magical to me. I never guessed the vinyl boom would do that to my favorite record store. C'est la business!

We’re buying a new place, with the closing date set for the end of the month. We’re moving after having lived in the same condo for 17 years.
The new place—a loft—is bigger than our current one, so we spent the weekend combing through salvage, vintage, and design shops. Ended up finding a friggin’ awesome pair of vintage Carter Brothers Scoop chairs/ottomans for a decent price.

Humble brag of the day:
I just walked out of our local convenience store/gas station and saw a chick at the pump who was totally my type. Dressed all in black, long dark hair with a silver streak, tall and svelte. After a couple of seconds of leering, I realized it was my girlfriend! We've been together 32 years and I still can't believe it.

Emil had a whole bit on this song on Drifters Sympathy recently, half cocked he spent about 20 minutes going over how it was essentially the first song put together with loops like people do in their DAW's today. I have zero idea if this is true.
It didn't improve the song for me at all.
