i own a record store

there are about 3000 cds here
most of the stuff you never heard of
me neither for that matter
i really feel that this store is a mission
both for you...and for me
we will do this together
i really want to find the stuff that exists way under the surface
my baba and i were talking and we decided
i should call myself a modern cultural archeologist
i like to dig where others just walk and pass over
i am not proud...ok...a little proud
but mostly i am just happy to have found this proffession
on the way to the store today i passed one of stockholms best cd stores
i still like calling them record stores
my father still calls a refigerator for ice box
anyhows...i walked past the record store
in the window they had big posters of the hives, babyshambles, håkan hellström
and i thought
this music is totally ok
but it takes no effort to find it
they have done all the work....the record industry that is
they have told you what is good
i don`t wanna do that
i just wanna go digging looking for the stuff that gets walked on and passed over
larkin grimm, viking moses, outrageous cherry, thtx, terror at the opera, moondog, magic carpet...my god...pastel vespa!!
it sounds soooo pr`ish...but i guess i want to be the alternative to the alternative here at larrys corner.
and today
today i think of my baba
and me
the great cultural archaeologist
i listen to
