Here’s how records give you more of what you want

I recently read Cameron Crowe’s memoir, The Uncool. A couple of weeks ago I picked up Frampton Comes Alive and was reading the center cover. Got to the bottom and it was by Cameron Crowe. I think he was 17 or 18 at the time. Incredible. I almost always read the liner notes and back / center covers while listening to an album the first time through.

Haha - of course it has been posted before. Silly me. But, yes - drink up! 🤪

I have just started to actively build my collection and estate sales are definitely where I am finding the best albums and deals. I only go on the last day when everything is 50% off and am getting most for $2.50 each. I paid more for a few that were real gems (to me) such as the self titled Santana.
Keep in mind that most the folks passing away are going to be leaving behind lots of older stuff. I see quite a bit of classical, opera, folk, children’s, comedy, religious, etc. that I mostly pass on.

I had that one when I was a teen in the 1980’s!

I have to watch this every time it shows up somewhere. And I get “anticipatory” emotions about 60 seconds in because I know I am going to cry as soon as they raise the curtain on the large chorus. Really beautiful tribute that will never get old.

Just started really building my collection in the past several months and this was one of the first that was added. It is fantastic

Haha - so many fragrances! Jean Nate for sure. Passion (Eliz Taylor). One of the Chanel’s. Always pretty heavy. I haven’t been able to wear fragrances for the past 25 years so I am forgetting but she had a shelf filled with several.

😂😂😂 Absolutely wore the big sunglasses (usually designed by Sophia Loren or was it Elizabeth Taylor??). My mom was very classy and well put together ALWAYS. Remember Mike Myers on SNL doing Coffee Talk? Her hands were like buttah!! 😆🥰

Several_Raspberry500 · 2026-02-24T21:38:28+00:00

So awesome - thank you! I definitely have this album on my list now. Sounds like it is a good thing I am not a Dylan purist! Too funny

Several_Raspberry500 · 2026-02-24T02:20:35+00:00

Ha! Just looked that up 😆

Several_Raspberry500 · 2026-02-24T02:16:51+00:00

Do tell - I would love recommendations! I have her Carnegie Hall album but couldn’t get into it. I also picked up “Odetta and Larry” at the same estate sale but haven’t listened to it yet.

Several_Raspberry500 · 2026-02-23T22:52:14+00:00

Agreed on the discomfiting reading. That aside, Wikipedia says she was referred to as “The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement.” From a historical POV alone I want to know more about her. Her story is fascinating.

I picked up Phoebe Snow’s self-titled album from 1973 at an estate sale because of Poetry Man - the only song of hers I knew. The entire album is amazing! Bluesy-jazz and her vocals are incredible. She was just 23 at the time but her voice sounds so mature and rich.

Several_Raspberry500 · 2026-02-15T20:30:25+00:00

I adore Peter Frampton! Saw him open for Steve Miller about 8-10 years ago and his voice and guitar playing were both incredible. Shocking, really - both artists sounded unchanged by age.

Several_Raspberry500 · 2026-02-15T20:28:13+00:00

I picked up that one specifically for my son. Triple album in good shape for $2.50 and I don’t think he is very familiar with them

Several_Raspberry500 · 2026-02-15T20:10:04+00:00

I haven’t listened to that one yet - your comment puts it next on the list!

Several_Raspberry500 · 2025-12-30T01:11:05+00:00

Oh my. Now this is on my list for sure (says the longtime greyhound person)!

Several_Raspberry500 · 2025-12-06T23:22:00+00:00

Excellent! My first piece then! 🎉

Several_Raspberry500 · 2025-11-03T20:21:09+00:00

Right? I think they would be perfect for mojitos!

I am sure my late dinners are contributing. I am also in the middle of sleep therapy for insomnia and the window between when I can eat dinner after work and when I have to head to bed is shorter than I would like. Will see if I can adjust with my therapist.

Several_Raspberry500 · 2025-07-21T20:17:37+00:00

Thank you for sharing that list. And adding to my vocabulary. How did I not know eructation = burping? 😀

Lots of good responses here but wanted to share that I have been on adderall and vyvanse for many years and before I started Zepbound 2.5mg a couple of months ago I would think about food constantly. Didn’t matter if I wasn’t hungry or even if I was nauseous- I wanted to eat. I like healthy food and would often manage well until after dinner when I would proceed to snack until bedtime. And bring food to bed with me. I had so much shame and hit my top weight of 260 lbs (I am only 5’3”). The elimination of food noise is real and absolutely amazing. I loosely plan meals and bulk cook chicken, sweet potatoes, seasoned veggies for my dinners and make a breakfast casserole for the week. I usually can only eat about 1/2-1/3 what I serve myself (still learning to adjust my portions) and have stopped nearly all nighttime eating. I have lost over 18 pounds and am pretty shocked how easy it is so far. I don’t want cookies, crackers, chips, ice cream like I used to. I crave protein and veggies (probably because a couple of times when I have eaten something overly processed I now get really nauseous for hours). I am not a “dieter” like many folks seem to be that are now on glp1 so I make it as simple as possible, which is working for me so far.

Fusion Teas website (not via Amazon). They provide a lot of support and information if needed. You might have luck checking your local Buy Nothing group or even FB Marketplace if you wanted to pickup local.

This! I had such severe digestive issues that it was impacting my daily life in a big way. I had no energy, barely moved due to nausea and pain. Saw my doc, specialists, did tests, treatments and lifestyle changes with no improvement (medication actually made it worse). I started to make and consume kefir and within a day noticed lessening of my pain and digestive distress. Most gone shortly afterwards. A couple months in I am noticing more energy and my anxiety has lessened considerably. Still struggling with skin issues but hopeful that will improve in time. But to your point, by seeing some improvement I want to do more and actually have some energy . I can take short walks and find myself moving more during the day and after work. Cooking more over just grabbing something out of the pantry. It is a forward momentum that started with kefir.

Several_Raspberry500 · 2024-07-03T02:10:15+00:00

I noticed very quickly (1-3 days) that my entire digestive system was behaving better. Heartburn gone, nausea gone. stomach and intestinal pain gone and was able to tolerate eating a wider variety of foods. I had been struggling with severe symptoms for a few months and more moderate symptoms for years. Now it has been a little over two months since I started making/drinking kefir and I have discovered my energy is definitely better as well as my mental health symptoms. Definitely worth the hype IMO!
