I'm gonna do my best to make this thing. My friend plays a big part in organizing this, and bitches at me every year to come, and I don't. This year, I'm tired of the bitchin.

ooh! went to this last year - TONS of good stuff. highly recommended.

I'll most likely be there. I went two years ago and it was great fun.

Holy shit, I might have money to blow that day.

so, we're going on sunday, right?

I didn't have much time to hang out at this over the weekend so I was in and out fairly quickly on Saturday morning, but I did manage to pick up some decent stuff and spent less than $25 in the process.

The highlights:

(all on vinyl)

and, for a buck apiece on cd: Adem's Homesongs, Clearlake's Cedars (still sealed!), Marah's 20,000 Streets... (also still sealed!), and Kula Shaker's debut (Britpop represent!).

but my personal favorite find for the weekend was the original Factory 12" of Joy Division's "Atmosphere" b/w "She's Lost Control" single.

Looking forward to hitting this at Pitchfork. Never been to it before.

Ah, I really wanted to go to this...

But being without a car and broke kinda put a stop to that.
