Too much like 2008 and not a good sign either.<br /><br />The Ragged Records saga, the guy talked about sewage getting into his inventory and it took out a good chuck of vinyl, most notibly the Hello Quad Cities Volume 2 on clear vinyl. Either that or too much runoff, since his place is close by the Mississippi River. Davenport had their main highways closed due to Mississippi flooding in that area, they don't have a flood wall. Probably be a while before i go back down there, perhaps later in the summer or early fall. Sucks when you lose vinyl inventory, I'm sure somebody would have wanted that INXS Kick LP that got thrown in the dumpster, and maybe somebody did pick it up. Collectors tend to shy away from wet material be it LP or CD or tape.<br /><br />I think I might go over 3,000 views this month. Not bad for most of the blogs was spent bitching bout the weather. I'm praying for dryer days. Like most of the people here.R S Crabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763473179086750283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866391505956532442.post-59051592099862780882013-05-29T12:52:03.198-07:002013-05-29T12:52:03.198-07:00Hey Crabby: Rainy & cold & cloudy here 2, ...Hey Crabby: Rainy & cold & cloudy here 2, tho not as rainy as there -- or as much as San Antonio, where they got 10 inches of rain in 24 hours. I lived in SA 4 3 years, where they have marked "yardsticks" set up in the bottoms of the "Low Water Crossings," so you can see how deep the water is B4 U plunge in -- & believe me, you don't go ahead if it's over a foot or 2 deep. But they lose people in the Spring runoff & sudden downpours every year....<br />Was shocked at Ragged Records' flood damage. They maybe didn't need 2 throw out ALL of it. My basement flooded my 1st Winter in Washington, & tho a lotta stuff got soaked, I only hadta throw out a couple things, came thru it pretty well. Never knew mold would grow on vinyl....<br />Anyway, Ragged coulda maybe let stuff dry off & then discounted it -- the CD's still woulda been playable after a cleanup ... but picky music fans might not have bought them anyway, right...?<br />Thanx 4 suggesting Procol Harum last week -- I played mosta their GREATEST HITS at work this past week & they sounded pretty good.<br />Am also having a solid month on viewership, but then I been writing my ass off. Probly not as big a month as April tho -- that was my 2nd-best month ever.<br />Keep rockin. Summer will come....<br />TADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853931230081777310noreply@blogger.com
