But sad for the reason it happened.

A friend of 26 years passed away a short while back. His dad had asked if I would like his record collection. Dan had asked me before he died if I wanted it and I told him I would take good care of it. Hell we used to hit the record stores together all the time. Well, his uncle was an ass and took almost all of it. I already had what was left and had added it into my shelves, and then his dad called me the other night and said they found a couple more boxes, and that he knew Dan asked me to keep them so he was calling me before his Uncle could grab these too.

I just got home and have went through the boxes. My buddy Dan had great taste, and these are bringing memories flooding back to me.

Highlights of the 100+ in the boxes include:
Flaming Lips and Henry Rollins covering Dark Side Of the Moon
Ween - The Mollusk and 12 Golden Country Greats
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
Green Day - Awesome as Fuck (pink vinyl)
REM - Monster
Porno for Pyros
Joe Strummer - Streetcore

Tons of others too. This will keep Dan around for a while I think.

Anyway, just thought I would share.

Sorry for the loss, man. So sad when someone close passes, especially so young. Dang. Definitely take good care of those.

On another note, whenever i find a phenomenal load at a thrift store, i can't help but think someone passed. Why else would anyone donate their collection!? It's a good/bad feeling.
