Gil-Scott, Sioux Favorites, Fugs, Basho & A Feast of World Music and Folkways
Okay, it is actually finally cold out. And there is a quarter inch of icy snow mix on the ground, but surely you have watched enough episodes of Pee-Wee Herman and/or American Horror Story or Justified in your pj’s to be ready to venture out into what passes for the Arctic tundra these warm days.
We have just the vinyl haul to entice you! What Goldmine magazine calls “A Shorts Spotter”. Bought from a way groovy smart elderly social anarchist who used to be on the radio. Put on your union suit, sip some White Lightnin’ or V-8 and come on down.
