Caught in a trap

4th February 2005

Lost in Music couldn’t take my vinyl. ie they only sell non Allie records, does that make any sense, might try missing records, mabey they will take records that I would like to go, well, missing.

I was determined not to buy anymore vinyl for a while but ended up leaving the place with four records, argh!! I didn't realise the full name of the shop, ie (lost in music, caught in a trap)

here's what I got!! oooh oooh!

Whitney, the album by, err Whitney Houston surprisingly, the best of Belinda Carlisle, a record that is a tribute to the sting, ie the genius of Scott Joplin and finally a Donna Summer record, oh man, I am so weak willed, the plan was to off load vinyl and I ended up buying more, I think I’m addicted. (actually has that Stallion way upon a hill side song that take that made love to against it's will (ie, rodgered) or "could it be magic" she moans in it alot!! I'm shocked!! I feel shock I feel shock I feeeeeel shock!!)

I took a coy look to my left as I was flicking through everything they had and saw the group of people I was a member of, anoraks!! Well I did say you have to be an anorak to be a dj, because it involves an unhealthy enjoyment of finding music however, this does not excuse this moment of weakness.

The shop assistant guy said that they didn’t buy vinyl anymore, but I could do exchanges, so I had a look around. I found the afore mentioned records and gingerly walked up to the counter, he was gossiping with some other musicy guy. (guys doooo gossip I don’t care if you do call it networking, actually networking involves speaking to people you really don’t know, but when you build up a clique it becomes gossip)

I was soo embarrassed when he flicked through the eleven records I wanted rid of, especially when he passed the Craig Daaaavid one, the ground couldn’t swallow me since we were up stairs. He said he couldn’t do anything with them, I think the craft shop downstairs might have been able to though, I should have tried them, not enough ashtrays and clocks and skirts made completely out of records about these days.

So I am now listening to Belinda, pretty groovy, though there is a riff in the song about heaven being located on earth somewhere, that I wish would last a few bars extra, I think it is during the bridge, before the repeat of the chorus until fade heh heh. 80s ROCK!!! Pure Class though,

I can’t remember exactly what I was meandering along Byres Road for again, but I got some money out and popped into star bucks, for a cup of tea. What is the point in that? My flat is around the corner!!! I think I was having a series of unhelpful events.

As I was walking out of the s-bucks a guy was coming in, so I stepped back to let him in and he stopped and held the door open, but I had already stopped to let him in, so that was awkward!! Then walked all the way to the Safeway at the end of the road, about two blocks down but a good walk I can tell you, worrying as I walked, that I had been rude since I think I clipped a gent who was with him with my bag of records as I passed.

(I elaborate on my other blog)

Allie Ps Donna Summer is really good, listen to her, for she has much to teach us.
