Another long weekend in Canada has come and gone. This time we came with a side mission: visiting Condor Fine Books in Kincardine, Ontario. We’ve been going there for years, and the owner is a really nice guy. He has a crazy selection of old and interesting books, with a healthy section on UFOs and the paranormal. That’s alright by me.
I hope you enjoy my latest video, with book finds and lots of scenery.
RECORD STORE TALES PART 308: The Cottage in the Woods
As bad as the stress used to get, there was always one place I could return and truly recharge my batteries: the cottage.
I’d pack a dozen or so CDs (tapes in the early days) and go on long walks with my Discman. Eat some steaks. Check out the water, rivers and funky bridges. The phone never rang. Heck in the early days there were no phones here. No cable TV, no wi-fi.
Today, I created, edited and posted the video you’re about to see in one day, entirely at the cottage. How unimaginable to me back then.
I tried to re-create the experience of being here visually — probably the most peaceful place in the world. I hope this gives you a taste. Enjoy
Thanks again Windows Movie Maker for not messing up this video. This is the last video I’ll be using Movie Maker to create. Thanks Seb for the new software.
Part II features the first ever live performance of “The Maiden Song” written by Seb, Dave and Meat. Yours truly on second vocals.
Part I is below:
Thank you Windows Movie Maker for not messing up this video. There was so much fantastic footage that I split this up into two parts.
Enjoy Part I, featuring many talented musicians and friends.
Japanese Import Heaven
Dear friends, my budget is low, but my resolve has never been stronger!
Tomorrow (April 13) is the Toronto Musical Collectibles Record & CD Sale; T-Rev & I will once again be joined by Wes and newcomer Doug (?). Last year was a tremendous success for me. I am really hoping that the guy who sold me the Japanese imports will be back this year. They were by far my best score at any record show in my over 20 years of attending them!
May the Force be with us!

RECORD STORE TALES Part 263: Metallica’s FAN CAN #4
Less a story, more a show-and-tell. I purchased this rare Metallica Fan Can via a staff member of mine. Her name was Wraychel, and she had a Metallica Club membership. When she told me that year’s Fan Can (#4) was available for pre-order, I asked her to get it for me. The Fan Cans were legendary! I can’t remember what I paid. It was a lot.
Don’t mind the dust, but enjoy the video.
