Jaxvillain's Jacksonville Journey

I haven't posted in months. Anyone that did try to keep up with this blog during the six or seven months when I posted regularly, Im sure have given up hope.
One of my flaws is that I always post when I'm drunk.
Another is that i don't regard the first as a flaw.
Example:
I said: "Galt - This is Isaiah Brock from The Cadets in a band in the late 90s that is named after an Ayn Rand character."
My friend Denny gently noted: "Hey JB...Isaac Brock was in Modest Mouse...Isaac Bear was(is?) in the Cadets."

and i know this. but drunken posts lead to retarded statements.

Something else that has disturbed me so fiercely it has me key-shy from posting is my frustration that no one seems to know about Inertia and Hip Hop Hell record stores in Springfield. Somehow EU's own columnist Hilary Johnson has publicly complained about a lack of record stores in town and i have recently received a query from a Jacksonville newcomer:

"My husband and I moved to Jacksonville a year ago from Lexington, Ky. I'm missing my favorite vinyl warehouse of goodness back in Ken-tuck, and I'm googling about trying to find a place here in Jax to buy records. And I don't mean boxes upon boxes of bad easy listening garbage. I mean obscure 1950s rock and roll, dreamy frech pop and jamaican ska. Where can I find such a magical place here?? You seem to be the kind of guy who might know. I've been scouring Riverside and Avondale, as we live just on the other side of Cassat and loooove that area, but so far have stumbled upon lots of fun antique stores and nothing dedicated solely to vinyl musical goodness. Can you help? Thanks in advance."

Well Jen, Springfield has what you are looking for. Josh Jubinsky and Ian Ranne own two conjoined record stores in Springfield (just North of Downtown)
1520 N Main Street

I have a lot of other stuff that I was thinking about Blogging about tonight, but I'll just leave it at these retractions for now.

let me know what i messed up later.
thanks.
