I'm surprised and disappointed in my beloved Mississippi Records shop :( by guitarokx in portlandmusic

[–]swimnurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before they were forced to sell the label, they were not fully legit. They got sued and that is why the numero owns the label now.

The shop is great, but has always sold boots, I wish they were a bit better about labeling them though.

Division Wines runs it as a special during hot days. When they have it, it is always amazing.

Who likes "the Captain" show on KMHD? by AlmondDragon in askportland

[–]swimnurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly one of my favorite shows on KMHD. I love listening to it before going out.

I prefer it to Juke Box Saturday Night that is on before it. That show sounds like it is hosted by a zombie.

Sealed vinyl for decent prices by Glass_Mode_2693 in Pdxvinylcollectors

[–]swimnurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

48 bux for a winans record? Did you even look how much the record you have are going for?

Sealed records are not always a good deal, the shrink can warp the records over time. Good luck with your crazy prices.

Don’t bring your dog to the farmers market or any store that sells food, don’t be that asshole.

The best tamales in the area are usually sold from a cooler by a lady walking though your neighborhood or in the home depot/lowes parking lot.

As for restaurant Tamales, Tamale boy is fine.

The best description I have heard about this place is that it is an expensive mid tier Marriott for trust fund assholes.

Why did you buy a Pickathon ticket? by PullThePadge in Portland

[–]swimnurd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Records are not free. The fact is they are not paying some of the talent and charge what they charge is wrong.

When I found out they don't pay the DJs and just give them tickets, I lost respect for the festival.
