{Had planned to get a couple more posts up before I left for a week in Havana, but time was not on my side. I’ll get my best digs of 2017 when I return…Hasta Siempre!}

Cool Chris brought a bit of the “Mecca” down south, for the Groove Merchant X Rappcats Record Pop-Up. These monthly affairs, each with different dealers, were my fave events of 2016, and 2017 is off to a great start. Chris especially focused on obscure, private press records, but there was a broad mix of quality as anyone who has made it to Groove Merchant would expect…now if we can only convince him to open Groove Merchant 2 in LA!!!

    1. Super sorry I’m only getting to this now…yeah “Say What You Mean” was the song. Those vocals and the guitar just kill me, though it also kills me that Oliver of Soul-Sides picked it up before I had a chance to.

      And the mystery man was Vincent Gallo, who must have spent $3,000 on a big stack…dude seriously knows his records.
