I DJ'ed at a packed indie record store late morning (cross-promotion thing with the radio station), then spent the afternoon having an impromptu band rehearsal in the parking lot of our town's most obscure and dingy record store (which also happens to be a great place to find bargains on weird stuff) -- mostly playing Dylan tunes.

I only bought 2 used LP's for a fiver (that's $5 total for both I mean):

Sandy Denny "Sandy" (1972)

George Crumb "Ancient Voices of Children" (1970; cuz it looked kinda weird and is on Nonesuch label)

Here was the set I spun at the record store -- I figured these would be good ones to cause kids to part with loot? (I totally wish I had remembered to bring The Beta Band "3 EP's" though, haha!) I tried not to be TOO geezerish . . .

Malkmus & The Jicks "Baby C'mon"
Pavement "Perfume-V"
Liars "Proud Evolution"
Landing "How To Be Clean"
Wire "One Of Us"
The Fall "Fall Sound"
Peaking Lights "Summertime" *
Suicide "Shadazz" *
Stereolab "Fuses" *
Brian Eno "The True Wheel" *
Beck "Some Dead World" (the untitled bonus track on "Mutations")
Cornershop "It's Indian Tobacco My Friend"
Faust "Jennifer"
Herbie Hancock "Hornets" (excerpt) *
Amon Duul 2 "Top Of The Mud"
Os Mutantes "Ando Meio Desligado" *
The Pretty Things "Baron Saturday"
The Creation "Painter Man"
Blues Magoos "Rush Hour"
Superchunk "Cool"
The Breeders "Saints"
Mission Of Burma "Peking Spring" *
The Rogers Sisters "You Undecided"
Talking Heads "Crosseyed And Painless" *
Curtis Mayfield "Future Shock"
Kraftwerk "Die Roboter" *
Can "Father Cannot Yell"
Chrome "Eyes In The Center" *
Booker T & The MG's "Hip Hug-Her"
Digable Planets "Jimmi Diggin Cats"
A Tribe Called Quest "We Got The Jazz"
