Tajai called me up the other night to let me know he was going to be in Santa Cruz and would like to swoop his painting by Stephen Lopez, of 'Montezuma's Revenge' their new album featuring Prince Paul on beats. What a cool cat! We chilled for a few hours in the store and talked about beezies, boomboxes, and beats. A truly great Krate experience! Thanks again Tajai for getting me hooked on Zapps..

Heavy Diggin' in the Bay

It was an early morning for Coaster and I, off to the races or better yet, off to Redwood City to hit the annual Record Man Dollar sale.. 10,000 or so dollar records, and a new room of never sorted five dollar records. I found some nice stuff for the store at the sale. Next stop, is the most record infested house I had ever seen! Had to be another 20,000 records everywhere in this dudes house, notice the garage pics. The house itself had records in every cabinet and drawer..Coaster plucked a Soul in the Horn!
