Being a goof-ball dad and husband, searching for vinyl records, buying vinyl records, trading vinyl records, learning Japanese, drinking iced coffee, visiting Japan as often as possible, eating tomatoes, eating potatoes, San Diego Chargers and USC Trojan football, and doing bad karaoke renditions.

Smart, eccentric, silly, record collecting punk rock/heavy metal folks from all over the world. Seriously man, if you collect vinyl, if the search for vinyl consumes your free time and your savings account, if you nerdy enough to discuss the differences between 1st and 2nd presses, then I want to talk to you!
Also, folks who run record labels/distros, release fanzines should get in touch... I want to buy yer stuff!
