I had a nice surprise today.



went to turtle's music here in memphis, trying to talk my wife into buying me a cd for my birthday (today). the store was having a blowout sale on overstock used cd's. in the sale section, i found the first features ep! for $3.99!!!!!!!!!!! i'd been wanting this cd for years but it's so hard to find, as you all know all too well........

anyways, just wanted to share a little happy accident with the board.

happy birthday to me!

toodles,
phil

well good. happy birthday!

Wow, that is quite incredible. I've never actually held that CD in my hands...the fact that it wandered all the way to Memphis is amazing...

Happy birthday, Phil. I'm glad that you found the EP.

I have taken to doing what TF and YDDD do - I always buy up Spongebath products if I see them. Not that they're necesarily collector's items, but I want to make sure that they find good homes. That being said, I've never seen the Features EP out in the used bins, but I bought a still-wrapped copy on eBay for about ten bucks.

I would love to find the Spongebath samplers someday. I've never owned either one. Also, I really want Breakfast With Girls on vinyl.

I've thought about parting with this gem on numerous occasions, simply cause I know it would score me some cash. However, I'll probably hold on to it despite my lack of money and lack of turntable.

the stuff is easy to come by if you look hard enough. i've been able find multiple copies of various things all over town. there are very few Breakfast With Girls vinyls in print. jim at digital planet has been known to get in a few gems every now and then. gizmodgery has been known to sell for atleast 40 bucks on ebay. giving these gems good homes is a mission.

i imagine when the features become the best thing since sliced bread the self titled ep will be come more of a coveted peice of memorbillia. every artist has that one thing thats either hard to find or out of print.

also, one of the most amazing thrills in life is finding that hard to find out of print title waitng for you at a store. thats what makes record shopping so much fun.....

There's some quite rare Self stuff on eBay right now that I am too lazy or too cheap or too indifferent to buy. And JC, I too want the Spongebath samplers. I have burned copies of both of them. TF found #2 on ebay, which turns up once in a blue moon. I've never found #1. I'm soon going to be testing a new source.

Hmmm...I think I feel another vote coming on.

Yes, there's lots of Spongebath gold on eBay. I've got several copies of some of the stuff. I doubt any of it will every be valuable, but I hate the idea of someone throwing it away.

If you're a Fluid Ounces fan (and you should be), former Ounce Trev Wooten is selling some American copies of Foreign Legion and some T-shirts.

That's awesome that u found the features 1st CD!! and for 3.99! That gives others hope:)

Yeah, I bought my copy of #1 at the DitD show that I went to but narrowly missed The Features. I only have a burned #2, but I don't know how or where I'd ever be able to find a real one.

ok, I'm confused, are there two versions of the self titled EP?

There are two versions of the spongebath sampler. If you go to the Audio part of the website you can see more about them.

There is one EP released on Spongebath.

There are also Spongebath Samplers, Volumes 1 & 2, which showcased all the bands on the label.






I'll also take this moment to say that I will probably never reach higher than number 4 on this board.

Don't give up. Ray Davies is too busy cleaning up poo to post and he doesn't have the internet at his house. His spot is ripe for the pickin...

I think I'll be in top ten pretty soon. Watch your back, Wiyum.

so true. if i was motivated, i'd go for it...

Well, you weren't around back last summer when I had nothing to do all day but post (before the factory job). I'm still in classes, you gotta remember.

In other words, you're callin' me out, missy, but don't think I'll go down without a fight.

Will

You're goin down.

i went down during a fight once. i think i got unfairly labelled after that. i mean, it was the heat of the moment...

i live in memphis. are you talking about the turtles on poplar? i go there all the time for their used cds (and bc they're open late on mondays)
i am so jealous; i wish i had beat you to it...

happy birthday, btw. i almost started you a birthday thread called, "who the hell is phil?!" but i thought it would offend you.

sorry, i meant to quote this on my previous post.
i wish there was a "im the biggest idiot ever" emoticon.

I remembered Phil as soon as I saw the avatar.

yup, that's the one. i also rounded out the evening by having cheesecake at the bookstar there, and renting the "incredible hulk" tv movies at blockbuster.

and you're right, that would've offended me a little....but then again, i'm easy to offend

glad to see there are other features fans in memphis. if there were only some way to get them to play here again............?

toodles,
phil

awww, thanks *blush*

I just cracked the top 20 recently, statistically not physically. Though, that too is part of my mission.

#19 and climbing. I remember when 500 used to mean something, but I guess we've evolved just like baseball.

HA HA

yay, now i can go back to somewhat relevent posting. sorry, RD, im no longer your fellow post whore.

I've got better whores anyway.

hm, maybe advancing in the top ten is easier then i thought. i just passed stephanie and now im on tomfoolery's ass. hey, i get bored. what are you gonna do?

Way to be a humble, gracious victor, Rach.

Will

i apoligize.

(Edited by rachel1808 at 12:28 pm on Jun. 15, 2003)

Sure you do. We all have no problem whatsoever believing that you feel actual sorrow for your boastful manner. Really.

Will

Just messin' wichoo

how is it possible that you post so frequently, yet yr number is so low?
you must be ...








A LOSER!
