Beginning a snowy morning, I made my way up 151 to Dubuque and stopped at Moondog Music and CDs 4 Change for interesting finds. Moondog Music had Enemies Of Confusion, a Dubuque band that played some good to okay songs concluding with a Weld version of Cinammon Girl from Neil Young. Picked up Iggy Pop & James Williamson Kill City on Vinyl and the new Feelies and Bob Dylan Live At Branfels 1963 and Bo Diddley's Beach Party. Thought about picking up the Yardbirds Sundazed 45 of Goodnight Sweet Josephine and Bad Brains Pay To Cum but didn't see the need for overpaying 45s over five bucks. They'll be collector's items in about 20 years. Alas, they didn't have the Foo Fighters Medium Rare LP, they sold them out five minutes after opening their doors but the dude says if they get anymore coming in next week, he'll let me know. Of course, he'll have to send it out this way, one can only make so many trips to Dubuque with gas at 3.75 a gallon.
CDs 4 Change had more worthwhile and forgotten forty fives so I picked about five up and a few albums that were discounted and got treated to another band. Three hairy dudes and guitars and they were half crocked before they hit the stage. I don't think they went through one song without messing it up in some way. So I hung out there a while then moved on to Borders and picked up a couple of 6 dollar cds (Best of Paul Desmond and Best Of Hot Tuna). Goodwill had some high bias Maxell tapes for 50 cents each so bought them all up for future recording uses.
And that's what Record Store Day 2011 went for me.
