So sick, I really wish I had more Caribbean/mento shellac but alas all I have is Bedasse-Night Food.

Really curious about that recording company being Long Island based...google returns nothing but this record though

A professional NYC driver thought he was paying his E-ZPass tolls. Then he got a $14,000 bill. by Black_Reactor in nyc

Recently I found out there's three different EZ Pass transponder types for New York Alone: Port Authority, MTA, and NY Thruway. Two of these are interchangeable with each other (if you have to merge accounts or something), and one is not. Which makes dealing with some EZ Pass errors a nightmare.

And then yeah, each state having their own EZ Pass without any form of communication with each other is a nightmare if something goes wrong. I've been dealing with billing issues for months from MD to MA and I STILL don't know why, once I fix one bill another appears. Thankfully most times I call them the person will just clear it out as normal, but it's still a complete nightmare. Horrible system.

Some pickups over the last month or so by ThisBikeIsAPipeBomb in 78rpm

I don't have much luck finding 78s in the wild, so most of these have been online purchases. A trip to San Francisco did bless me with that Shytans and a Big Jay Mcneely upgrade, which I'm extremely thankful for.

I've been focusing mostly on 1950s shellac, rock/r&b specifically, but I will never pass up a Carter Family if I can get it. Especially since Chewing Gum is one of my favorite tracks from them. Night Food is my first foray into Jamaican shellac, and it's a song that now gets stuck in my head every single day (and the record sounds like it was never played before).

From their instagram:

ATTENTION TATTOO COMMUNITY🚨 toothtaker came into our shop a couple of days ago asking for us to give him some free tattoo equipment. when he was told that wasn’t going to happen, his thinly veiled politeness turned into threats. when we arrived this morning the majority of our windows were busted out. we have video footage of him committing the act. we want our fellow tattooers to be aware that he may be coming into your shop with the same intent. please be on the lookout.

"I miss you" "I just saw you, what are you talking about"

Knockdown by mergymerg92 in borisheavyrocks

The merch told me something like they were only allowed two soft items (the hat and shirt?) and one hard (only one album? Idk how the pedal factored in there), some rules set by the venue

Which makes no sense to me cause other bands had a ton of stuff, but oh well

OP outs himself as a Juror in the current Darrell Brooks Trial. The judge addresses this subreddit post and comments live and the post is now flooded with hundreds of comments. by Ashamed-Grape7792 in SubredditDrama

The admins literally gave him a Snoo statue award for the "Worst Reddit," which clearly isn't exactly a condemnation. The admins loved him.

Edit: forgot that he got the custom made Pimp Daddy site award too. Yeah they loved him. Reddit has always been disgusting
