Ah ha!

On Friday, I made a trip over to Clockwork Records, in Hastings, NY.  As far as I know, there are no other vinyl-exclusive shops in Westchester County, and I had one thing in mind:  I was on the hunt for any kind of vinyl from my favorite band, The Organ.  I didn’t really think they would have anything, and I was right, they didn’t.  Still, it was fun to check out; I didn’t expect it to be tucked away into such a tiny corner though.

If you don’t gots yo’self a means to play yo’ records…

 As to be

expected, the walls were painted orange, and one wall was lined entirely with albums.  They had plenty of New Wave to choose from, which is cool for me, and also, a lot of Nirvana, and some OLD Soundgarden.  Of course, the place was overrun by mainly by all things 60s-70s, which isnt exactly my thing.  Still, I was assisted by a friendly chap named Orion (like the constellation, he told me), as I scoured the land, or, crates, rather, and as I was leaving, I met the owner Mike, who promised to  get an album by The Organ for me, if he could find it.  While I was not overcome with excitement about the place, it certainly is worth anyone’s while to check out, if you live in the area and just really love anything in the rock genre.

I never go to Hastings, so I found other things, too…

Wow, jewelry AND driving lessons

Thanks for letting me visit, Hastings!
