That's a great call -send it out until it travels back home. Still, I like the idea of gifting an album. It could be something you find at the dollar bin in a record store, it doesn't have to be precious to you. It could be an album you've never listen to, but thought it looked interesting. There are any number of reasons to gift an album, I don't think we should be giving away things that have sentimental value because chances are that sentiment doesn't translate to the new owner

well, I think the gesture is devalued if you intentionally go shop for a record to give instead of something you have in your own collection. Have to sit on the thought more.

I think that depends. If you think you have a feel for the person based on what they've posted here then I think it's pretty cool that you would go out and pick something up intentionally for them. I feel I could do this for any number of Hubski users. In fact, I already know what I would get for lil. I own it but I'd go buy it for her too.

I'm trying to downsize. I love my records, but I can't see taking them with me on my next move or expanding my collection.

On the other hand -- I would treasure anything from the great tng. (I'd be very happy with your next CD!)

Anyway, one step at a time. First I have to pull out my Zombies & VU and give them one last play!! Then find a record store and ask them for a record mailer. . . .

Wait, lil, if you are trying to get rid of records and have lots of give away, please please please talk to me about your collection, what you'd be willing to part with, and how much you'd like from each record. Depends on what you have. I have about 100 albums in my collection. I wouldn't mind more.

    Depends on what you have.
--- ref, I'm a hippie and a boomer. I have everything. When I get a chance, I'll do an inventory. Now hubski, stop being fascinating, appreciative, and loving. Just stop it!! I'm marking final exams (or trying to).

Hey lil this goes for me too.

You can do a road trip when you're back in the Great Lakes area! Just thinking, bring the whole band and we can do a house concert.

This raises the question of who currently has the ability to legally leave the United States. Hmm.

lil  ·  3864 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Hmmmm... or legally get back in...

Let the bidding war begin ;-)

I have just the album for you. My wife and I listen to it often, the album art alone is worth getting the album. I'm excited to send it to you.

As for the next tng album, I'm sorry to disappoint but I'm only releasing it on vinyl and mp3. No CD's anymore. I can't tell you the last time I bought a CD.
