What to do with those pesky 45s?

I spent last night troubleshooting one of the coolest freaking technogeek toys ever invented… A 45 (single records) turntable jukebox! The thing was amazing!

The dirt mall

The dirt mall

The gem of Daytona Florida, is without a doubt, the flea market! I think I’ve decided that all commerce should be done this way. Tons of people sitting around chatting about their craft, which range from apples to tires… This place is amazing. A weekend only thing, Jeremy and I wait impatiently for Saturday to arrive so we can do… Read more →
