Stallion Alert - Record Collecting - Portland, OR: October 2013
http://www.stallionalert.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 1, 2013. September Record Shopping in Tucson and Albuquerque. Last week I took a trip to the Southwest with a handful of missions in mind: I'd never seen my brother's band, The Monitors. Before (because I live in Portland and they are based in Tucson), so when I found out they were playing a Thursday night show, I decided it was as good a reason as any to get the hell out of town, see them play, then stick around and make a long weekend of it. Here's how it went:. The next afternoon (Fri...

Friday, February 27, 2015. An eBay Vinyl Story About People Who Are Really Bad At It. I own a nice, original copy of The Doors' Waiting for the Sun. It's the gold-label, first-press stereo edition, complete with the original Elektra inner sleeve, and it's probably worth $25 because it really is - and I should know because I just took it out to confirm - in ultra-sweet shape. I personally think that price is a tad on the ridiculous side, but hey: never underestimate the impulsiveness of the modern record ...

http://www.stallionalert.com/2015/04/internet-buys-april-2014-dayz-of-wayback.html
Thursday, April 9, 2015. Internet Buys, April 2014: The Dayz of Wayback. I bought some records online over the past few weeks that I have been wanting for years. These are records that I kept thinking I would come across in stores for prices that weren't ridiculous, but it never happened. Total Devastation - In the S.F. Streets. Before Total Devastation were blazing doobs full-time at the hemp rally. Features some sweet early footage. Total Devastation - "Many Clouds of Smoke" 12" (1993). This is a three...

Saturday, February 15, 2014. Saturday Afternoon Record Shopping at Boom Wow and Mississippi. I didn't plan on going record shopping today, but after hitting an estate sale and unexpectedly finding a few weird records like this. I got a taste and I couldn't turn back. I decided to hit Boom Wow! Because I hadn't been there in a month or two and as always, they had stuff you rarely see in Portland at prices as good as anywhere in Portland. Love that place. Here's what I got:. Capital Tax - The Swoll Package.

Stallion Alert - Record Collecting - Portland, OR: Record Shopping at Amoeba in Hollywood, Part One.
http://www.stallionalert.com/2011/05/record-shopping-at-amoeba-in-hollywood.html
Monday, May 2, 2011. Record Shopping at Amoeba in Hollywood, Part One. Almost a year to the day after I first set foot. I was in Los Angeles for work, and staying at a hotel that was a little less than a mile from Amoeba. I had to work from 9-5 (ish) for the three days I was there, and on the third day I had to leave right after the work day was done. So, I only had two days to do what I was going to do Amoeba-wise. Sugga and Spice - "Boyz Just Wanna Get Skeezed" 12" (1988). BMOC - "Play That Funk" 12" (...

Stallion Alert - Record Collecting - Portland, OR: November 2014
http://www.stallionalert.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. Black Friday Record Store Day 2014. I had five things on my list for RSDBF, and I can't say I really cared too much about four of them. I guess I just go to these now because I like to support Music Millennium? Wanted the Run-DMC "Christmas in Hollis" 7". It was $15.99. FIFTEEN NINETY-NINE. For a 7" record with two songs on it. The B-side is "Peter Piper," for chrissake. Oh - it comes with an audio postcard? For $4 on Discogs. Thank god this is FINALLY back in print. Because it...

Stallion Alert - Record Collecting - Portland, OR: April Record Shopping at Amoeba in Hollywood, Part Two.
http://www.stallionalert.com/2015/05/april-record-shopping-at-amoeba-in_10.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. April Record Shopping at Amoeba in Hollywood, Part Two. There really is, for me, nothing like shopping for rap records at Amoeba on Sunset. Usually takes me about three minutes to comb through the hip-hop section at any shop in the NW (excluding maybe Easy Street in Seattle). Took me three hours. At Amoeba and I didn't even get to the closeout 12" singles or the bottom shelves. I bought so many records:. Big Daddy Kane - "The Lover in You" 12" (1991). Now move that thang. A record I...

Magical, Blustery Tour Night Eight Olympia, WA 8/8/14. October 10, 2014. No Comments ↓. Back up to Wahington to play Le Voyer in Olympia! This place was recommended to us by none other than Calvin Johnson himself! Short trip. This was a hard one to book, there was some Carnival/Festival thing happening across the street and not many people at Le Voyeur. At least we ate well. Le Voyeur is cool and had decent food! Just tried to channel the rage and we played a very loud, unruly set. The small crowd mo...
