Like i said he would always knock a couple bucks off(unless hat was ony for the ladies!)..the last time I went to Holy Cow I bought a Slade Album and a ? Mark single for less than 10 bucks... Music Matters? I've never been there. WILL make a point!Lisannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249500003559750141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810483957175720940.post-91617959397923036372008-04-23T22:54:00.000-04:002008-04-23T22:54:00.000-04:00FIB has The Zodiac?!?! (Fuckin' hippy...) Seriousl...FIB has The Zodiac?!?! (Fuckin' hippy...) Seriously, to ya'll who dunno-- that's a great great album.<BR/><BR/>"This Record Should Be Played In The Dark" right?<BR/><BR/>Don's was great-- a wee bit pricey on the vinyl (i.e. you wouldn't freak like, wow, i'm gonna turn this over on ebay!!) but a lot of good stuff across all genres. Don was a "character" for sure, & one who is sorely missed in South Brooklyn.<BR/><BR/>The Holy Cow scene was WEIRD, & even a bit inscrutable. There'd be some good stuff coming through used tho', before all the horeshit about Park Slope having a lot of "writers" & "editors" (which is to say horrible magazine crap even they know is worthless), it was just people: some writers, musicians, Spanish folks, jazz musicians, cops, janitors: it took all kinds, even rock musicians.<BR/><BR/>Question: if Park Slope is so fucking "literary" (cough), how come it can't keep a goddamn used bookstore? Uhhhh... and the one new indie one is garbage, even if Park Slope zombies won't admit it. (I know Unnamable is books is still open & do hope they succeed.)<BR/><BR/>Last Exit Books on 6th below 9th was great but even then it was too late-- the literary had moved on, and those moving in, well... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, why did Holy Cow always play some weird techno ambient? <BR/><BR/>Music Matters on 7th is good Lady FIB, they deserve props, tho' I miss that other joint on 7th also.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget Beat Street on Fulton-- crossroads of the hip-hop/dj world for real & fun to browse just for the show.<BR/><BR/>COME BACK DON!! The few cool, confused people you'd turn on to the weirdness are gonna be at motherfucking Trader Joe's instead soon, when King Tubby or The Pagans or O.V. Wright could have set them free.<BR/><BR/>The Music Director<BR/>WWIB<BR/>(formerly of South Brooklyn, now living the low life in Gravesend)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
