Went on a little trip to Edmonton this Easter weekend. We went to a used music store called Revolver. Pretty cool place! I've never been there before, but my friend decided to take me there to check it out and all that stuff! As you can see in the photos, the place is huge! All kinds of used CDs, Vinyl, DVDs, posters, t-shirts, all kinds of cool stuff!
I picked up some older pieces of music that I had originally gotten rid of when I was younger... wanted them in my collection again, and the price for these items was great!! White Zombie's "La Sexorcisto" and the "Supersexy, Swingin' Sounds" Remix album. I'll probably be picking up "AstroCreep: 2000" some time in the near future here as well... I really don't know why I got rid of these in my collection... granted I'm more of a Rob Zombie fan now... but I like having these pieces in my collection and it's great to listen to them again after all these years!!
Also picked up some stuff that isn't in my collection, that is new to me!
Picked up Ministry's "House of The Mole"; giving a listen to it right now (April 22/2019), it's very good, very metal... it was a random purchase, wasn't too sure what to expect, but it's not bad!! I would say there are some definitely recognizable parts in the songs... not sure if they were using the same samples as some older material, but... definitely familiar.
Also picked up :Wumpscut: "Evoke"... not as hard edged electro-industrial that I thought it was gonna be, but still good... I'm glad I picked this up!! Overall, the visit to this store was good! It's definitely a gem in the Edmonton music scene (they have a goth/industrial section as well!! 😉), the staff seem cool too! I'm glad there are still stores out there that still carry physical media/product... I like having physical... I like looking at the artwork, and reading the liner notes and shit! When people come to my place, there is also the added piece that they see my collection, and there is a conversation associated with each piece! That's the one thing I miss with digital/streaming... it's basically there to consume, and nobody cares about digital/streaming, but physical... it gives people a chance to have a conversation if they ask about the pieces.
The Trip? This trip was good! I finally got to reconnect with my friend after not seeing him after 2.5 years (we still talk, but just haven't seen each other), and whenever we get together after not having seen each other for such long periods of time it's like we've never been apart... and we pick up where we left off!! Hope to head out there again... maybe in the fall, we'll see...
