I just got back from the Alameny swap meet with some great vinyl! I spent about $20 and got a double live Elvis album, King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon, Steely Dan - Aja, Beatles - Revolver, REM - Document, Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic, Supertramp - Breakfast in America, Pink Floyd - Animals (almost got Dark Side of the Moon and Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but they were all scratched up - same with Miles Davis In a Silent Way which really disappointed me), Hendrix - Band of Gypsies (the jacket was all rotted away, but the record is playable and one of his best), Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale, and All in The Family (I haven't played it yet, but it looks like it's a bunch of clips from the show and should have some excellent sampling material. Overall a very productive score. Anne got some jewelry supplies, a few strands of beads and other stuff, but she wasn't too happy with the selection. Then we spent an hour stuck in traffic trying to get around the Folsom Street Fair which was in full leather-chapped swing today. We sort of wanted to check it out, but parking would have been tough. Now we're off to go see Lost in Translation which I've been hearing very good things about. Edited to add: Lost in Translation was really really really good and I highly recommend it. Too bad Sofia Copolla can't do a single interview without being asked about her awful role in Godfather 3 since she has more than proven herself as a brilliant director twice now. Anybody in the entertainment business has some early work that they're embarassed of, but it seems like Sofia Copolla is the only one who is reminded of that in every interview she ever gives.
