Retail Therapy


I finally got my fix! YAY! New records!

I was back in TO these last couple days. I just bought some more wicked records to go with my set. I've been jonesin for some new records these past few weeks. Damn holidays got in the way of EVERYTHING!

I also bought a couple gift records that I'd like to hear but have no place in my set.

For some reason, records are the only thing I can purchase without feeling guilty afterwords.

'Retail Therapy' is a term I heard for the first time yesterday. What is it about new material things that makes your conscious mind think that you are more content?

Clothing, for example, when purchased, acts as somewhat of a bandaid on an emotional wound. The bandaid goes over the wound and it helps you forget about the pain or the scar for a brief moment. When removed, the wound is a little bit better, a little less painful. But it's still there.

Me? I get emotional healing from my music.

You should see if your dad or anyone older has a pile of old reccords from back when they were all that was available. there might be some fun old stuff that you can mix in. kind of like in Mike Relm mixes.

Thanks for the suggestion. Come to think of it, my grandparents still have a pile of records that they don't listen to. I'll have to go for a visit soon!
