So it was back to Westboro today with Eric to go to the Audio Center which we intended to go to yesterday but ran out of time. I found a FURANCEFACE tape for 2 dollars which is another old ottawa band that actually consisted of members of Fluid Waffle.

We also found ths weird clothing store that sold psychobilly stuff that had a small box of records in a corner. We dug through and found numerous LPs by the Ramones, the Clash, Echo and the Bunnymen, and alot more great stuff but the owner said they werent for sale... after Eric got worked up and demanded we go back and make him sell them to us the owner agreed to put them aside for us and went on to inform us that they will have over 5000 records for sale within the month. This was a promising find.

Own our way home we hit up an antique store and Eric got an awesome Owl lamp that was marked $38 for only $20. The lady that owned the store was nuts and hard of hearing and told eric the lamp was from the 1940s numerous times despite there being the date 1978 painted on the bottom. I found a book called Adolf Hitler, Vol.2 by John Toland for Cory.

I also found some tapes of Faith no More, Sepultura and Bathory at a pawn shop all for $2.

Yesterday i went record shopping with Eric and Cory. Since the busses are free we decided to venture out to westboro which is the new Glebe for those of you not in the know.

I found a Fluid waffle 7" with a handmade cardboard cover numbered 328 for 5 dollars and a Fluid Wafle LP for 7.99 at LEGEND records. Fluid Waffle is an old ottawa band that actually just played a reunion show at Babylon with ottawa legends the Trapt last year.

Then we hit up this weird second hand value village type place where i found two 7"s of a bands i wasnt familar with. One was of Jale who was an indie rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, they were formed in 1993 and disbanded in 1996. They are considered one of the more influential bands to come out of the mid-1990s Halifax scene. The lead singer also did all the back-up vocals on Slaons album 'Smear' and they later signed to SUB-POP records.

The Second 7" was by the mighty Bubaiskull who ruled the Halifax music scene with an iron fist in the early 90's.

Both records were put out on Cinnamon Toast Records from Halifax, Nova Scotia run by Walter Forsyth, Lee Ann Gillan, Shawn Duggan, Colin MacKenzie, Robert Jeans and Miroslav Wiesner. They released a number of limited release 7" singles, each in a different colour. Their first release was the soon to be signed to Sub Pop's all female band; Jale's first recording — a red 7" single called "Aunt Betty" (which is the record i got).
