Here are my pick ups. Not much this month as I have some HUGE life changing plans coming up.

Anyway here are the games

Image

Portal 2 was $10 new, also a triple dip. I have it on PS3 and steam already.
Jade Empire was $5
Toe Jam & Earl 3 was -$2 , yep negative 2 bucks. I bought it for 13 and after looking threw the booklet i for $15 folded up inside!!!

Next are some Seahawks Super Bowl Stuff the GF got for me.

i consider myself lucky, there were some incredible record stores in dallas in the 80's-90's with sections devoted to ambient/experimental.
Which ones? I had a Zoviet France CD or two in the day. Should re look into them. I used to go to RPM Records in Garland. He had quite a good selection. I think it's done though, like most mom & pop shops. Bill's had good shit if you wanted to pay the price.

Head for Bill.

Tech Sun records off of 635 just south of Mockingbird Station was my go-to place. They had a wicked DnB selection, and some of the coolest, most knowledgeable staff I've ever encountered. I doubt they're still around, but it was nice while it lasted.

RPM was fucking awesome. a lot of the stuff in the ambient/noise section shipped unsealed, so he'd let you hang out and listen to it before spending $20-25 on some random CD. forever young records. bill's was cool as long as he wasn't there. if you were asking which albums, Zoviet France: what is not true, flock of rotations, just an illusion, vienna 1990. Rapoon: dream circle, raising early spirits. Muslimgauze: veiled sisters. Nurse With Wound: Soliloquy for Lilith. sleepbot is a great resource.

RPM was fucking awesome.
Pretty sure he (Randy) shut down the shop, but not exactly sure when. I went there for ages... was on a first name basis w/ the staff, etc. Ed (the guy w/ glasses) was into some noisy stuff, to say the least. When I watched High Fidelity I was like, "yeah, I know how these record stores work". Haha. Anyway, simpler times. Oh how I lament.

I hear there's one last vinyl shop in Dallas but I think it's on the way other ass side of town. Kind of spoiled here. There's multiple Disk Unions within my small area.

Hook up the CV outs to another synth and send the sequence out to it. 8)

Also, not sure how much you have messed with it so far, when using the random setting on the LFO it clocks to the sequencer or incoming external clock; assign the LFO to the filter cutoff - ACIIIIIID! So squelchy and organic.

Very nice. The blue ones are really hard to find, the only ones I've seen for sale have always been the gray and red models.

Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Nice LD-Box! Does it contain every Ghibli movie, released between 1984 - 1995, on Laser Disc?
