Ladies and gentelman, a great victory has been scored for the underground tonight. A few friends and I were at spaceboy records, which is next to the legendary Zipperhead on South Street. The store contained many new cds, used cds, used records, and one large rack of used cassettes. The cassettes, mostly from the 80s and early 90s, contained a wide range of material, such as soul asylum, billy idol, screaming trees, 6 copies of a survivor tape, evita, nas, rem, ballet, prince, toto, and one bizarre mix tape which featured both thelonious monk and Johnny Cash. Listen folks, there were at least 500, and mebe as much as 700, tapes here. To make a long story short, the guy behind the counter sold us all of them for a mere 6 dollars (no tax)! That's like a penny per tape! See, the manager figured that he could make more money by using the space as a listening station, and was more than happy to get rid of the cassettes. Two friends (one of which was fellow collective member Germ, the other was the legendary David Glasser. Dawn was there too.) and I each put up 2 dollars, and we carted off two large garbage bags full of tapes. I spent a measly 2 bones, and now have about 600 cassettes sitting in my basement! Next week the fellas are gonna come over to sort through all of this, and after we've all taken every tape we could possibly want, me and Germ are going to try to record some of our wacky noise rock creations onto the excess cassette, and sell them at various local hip record stores. So if you come across a Maria Carey with the word 'Mynah' scrawled across it on the demo shelf at your favorite record store, you'll know who's responsible. I'm going to go listen to one of my many tapes now. Solid.
