Whent a bit mad record shopping

Postby cafe latte » 03 Jun 2012 10:16

Just back from Brisbane and I got a bit carried away, there was just so many records i just had to have :D .. I spent 700 dollars on vinyl (opps), now I could do with some rather creative excuses 8-[ Is is possible after spending 700 dollars on vinyl or am I doomed? 8-[ [-o<

Up Here in North QLd in Cairns there is only one over priced record shop with slim pickings. I went to two record shops in Brisbane, both in the center which were huge :shock: :shock: I was in vinyl heaven. I decided to 'rescue' as much vinyl as possible :mrgreen:

You're a dead man. But at least you'll die with a smile on your face. :D

You're in good hands. Just repeat after me, "I could have spent it on women, cheap booze and even some silly stuff, but I spent it on music we can enjoy for the rest of our lives." If that doesn't work I'll try to make it to your funeral. Really, I'll try my best!
Music isn't an escape from life, it's one of the reasons to be alive in the first place!

It might work, but I can see her saying that it could have been better spent on a particular woman.. HER :roll:. I am going to have to get creative when the credit card statement arrives [-o<
Loving my new records in the mean time though :D

How many albums did you get for your money?

There's a secondhand record shop just down the road from me, where everything is £2. So on that basis I'd get 225 albums, a hernia and severe earache from my other half!
Cheers

I wish!!! I only got 35 as there was qite a bit of collectable jazz. Still it nearly put me over my bagage allowance :) . Please PM me and tell me were your shop is so when I do get over to the UK I can get myself into trouble with the missus again :D 8-[
