ashes & fire

ps how appropriate for the skies to look as they did on the evening that i went to ryan adams' listening party at origami vinyl in echo park, ca on 9.30.11. i was clicking from the car on my way over to hear the ashes & fire album. the skies were of something hauntingly, heavenly dark, lovely, and mysterious just like ashes & fire.

record store day 4.16.11

ps record store day.... my excitement grew in hopes that i would get the ryan adams class mythology limited release 7". arrived early to oragami vinyl and was ready for the wait. waited, waited, and waited some more. the music boy behind me struck up a conversation with me. come to find out he was there for ryan adams too! finally got to the door and entered the store. immediately i asked for ryan adams and he bowed his head... "sold out." big sigh from me. however, i picked up wild flag, fleet foxes, and ryan adams cardinology. then i hopped into my car and drove to pennylane, canterbury, and wombleton records. no luck for ryan adams. however, i scored a vintage find, johnny cash i walk the line, from wombleton records. yessss!
when i returned home i checked ebay and they had 90+ posts for the limited edition ryan adams. need i say more... scandalous gold diggers. looks like i will need to watch ebay and bid, bid, bid. i will own it in time! (:
ps ps thank you origami for the new tote.
ps ps ps sorry jw that your requests were sold out. /:

surprise arcade fire show at the ukranian culture center, los angeles, ca..... waiting for tickets

ps finding out the evening before with clues from the arcade fire tweets there was to be a secret show on
2.11.11. tickets... oh where are you selling from? why they will be sold at noon to the first 100 (unknowingly) in line at origami vinyl in echo park, ca. fans spent the night along the sidewalk curving around the corner from origami vinyl. my friend went at 6 am to join the line of hipsters on the cement. i then arrive a little later that morning to join him. he had to leave for a meeting for about an hour. i continue to wait and save his place in line. during that period that he was away we were numbered on the hand and only those whom were numbered were to purchase tickets. i made it... number 96! aww, but this meant my friend was not going to be able to purchase 2 tickets. what do i do? he was there before me. the right thing to do was to get the tickets and give them to him. that is what i did. this is what a real friend would do!
ps ps boo 92 who cut the line to get a number.. btw this was chanted in line waiting by many.. boo 92... boo 92
