We visited Lou’s Records in Encinitas and Record City in San Diego. We saw The Skatalites at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. Good coffee at Calabria Coffee Roasters in North Park.

So, the usual grab-bag of oddities to be had down there. Everything was used (except for the Mick Jagger CD). Also got some good 12” single dupes (Voice of the Beehive, Yello etc.) @ Record City – they really seem to put out decent 80’s 12” singles for $1.

Our next journey out of L.A. will be to Portland, OR in a few weeks. Always an interesting place to visit – Everyday Music! And I get to catch up with Ken H and Mark M. This blog will be taking a vacation between 6-26-10 and 7-5-10 – a “Summer Vacation”, if you will.
