Well, Mark Shelton died yesterday. As is not unusual, this led me down the path of metal ponderings. However, counter-intuitive as it may seem, this post is not about Manilla Road, or even regular heavy metal. Rather Manilla Road leads me to think of Darkthrone… Until 1998, I was pretty unaware of “extreme metal”. I’d…Read more
Records
waves of purging…
Well, I’m no longer selling records, but I was looking over the list of what I’ve sold over the years and I started wondering, hmm, who did I sell the most of? So, here’s the top ten list based on how many records I sold by an artist. Note that I am including records equally,…Read more
Changes are afoot at the Circle K…
Okay, not very exciting ones. But this week I decided to, um, rebrand my selling. Or, let’s say, give it a brand. I changed my discogs name from harveyashley to old_ames_records and have started putting up a website. I have also listed some things (prints, DVD’s and a record that I can’t sell at discogs)…Read more
Can never have enough supplies…
Since last we spoke, I have managed to pass the 300 Discogs orders threshold. I certainly never thought I’d end up sending 380 records and/or cd’s out the door! It’s been fun… and financially rewarding. But I can never get myself to order way more mylar bags and shipping supplies than I need! I just…Read more
Sales go sailing…
Well, after the unexpectedly prosperous results i’ve had from selling records (here, if you want to partake… Discogs) I decided to try and sell some DVD’s.

To Coil in the dark, two. And 200
In this bout of selling records that I’ve been doing, I’ve sold eight records for $100+ each, but I’ve never sold, or even listed, a record at $200+… Until just recently. Back around the turn of the millennium, I had some knowledge of Coil. I think I already had the CD version of Musick To…Read more
167, 168 and more…
Shoot, now that we’ve run clean out of Nashville and Friday Night Lights, we’ve had to start digging. Of course, my trash my Warehouse 13 won’t get us far… Extant is just a bit to mediocre and sci-fi… ALl the blogs seems to list tha same shows, either Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Rectify and all…Read more
Vinyl bratt’s
Though, aside from two brief school related visits to the Grad School, I had only made it to Brattleboro once before… Six years ago. I have, since that visit, thought of Brattleboro as the place to go to shop for records… At least in the 2+ years I have lived in Vermont… So going down…Read more
