Good evening Wes. Nice to see you doing another update. Wow. I have not seen that Dicks album since the eighties. That is a good album. They kind of reminded me of Dead Kennedys. <> I love those early Ventures album covers. Nothing like a whole album related to surfing. <> Nice to hear that you had a good time at St Pete's Pride and also your visit to Bananas. Excellent update Wes~ Rob/Boston

Man, great pickups! So glad your channel showed up in my feed! Subbed!

"Devil's Gun" was huge when I was a club DJ "Happy Organ" YES!

Thank you for supporting the CD format.. I love buying them.. ❤

I've vaguely heard of Omar Apollo, so I looked him up. Apparently, he was featured in last year's album of Kali Uchis (whom I'll be featuring on my upcoming Vinyl Tag 2025).

I’ve never seen those Audio Master Plus vinyl either, that looks awesome. I have some of the CDs. One of my goodwills have started pricing CDs at $3 if you can believe it. My dad’s in Atlanta now so don’t know how often I’ll get down to St Pete / Tampa again but I’d like to. I’ve seen that CJ & Co but never grabbed it, always seemed like the cover was better than the music but I might grab it if I see it cheap. I also got an OG Baltimore this year.

I love Conan Gray's new album, too - one of my favorites of the year! He captured every aspect of '80s music, from the new-wave dance-pop to the Journey-esque power ballad. Unfortunately, though, I was underwhelmed with Taylor Swift's latest album. I wanted to like it, but just couldn't get into it even after three or four listens. The Firesign Theatre is definitely a weird subject for a MoFi release, let alone two of their albums. And definitely a great find at a thrift store! The Etta James comp and Dylan/The Band ones were also some great grabs. Lionel Richie's "Tuskegee" was an unexpectedly enjoyable album that I just happened upon used one day, very nice! And The Script is a good indie-rock band, kind-of like The Killers, though I've only kept their first album and a singles collection of theirs. Another great month of finds, Wes!

Hi Wes! I'll be featuring some of those new releases on my upcoming Vinyl Tag 2025 (Red's Version) video; I finally received my complimentary copies of that Vampire Weekend, Taylor Swift and Pearl Jam plus a ton more of 2024 new releases. Need to allow mail cut off at 5pm or so on Dec 31st in case I get any arrivals before I start filming that.

Congratulations on your sixteen years of vinyl videos Wes. You are one of the VC pioneers~ Rob/Boston

Cheers to another 16 Wes!! I’m glad you are still going strong.

Glad you’re back! Go Gators!!!🐊

Wes! I've missed your videos, especially your CD finds! Lots of good stuff in this one. I've been following Bleachers for awhile now; my favorite album of theirs is "Strange Desire". I was a fan of Ben Lee for several years, but I've only kept a couple of his albums. Nice folky stuff, at least back in his early years. Nice to see you beefing up your Steely Dan collection! I inherited six of their albums from my late sister, and since they had only put out nine, I went ahead and rounded out the library on my own in memory of her, even though they've never been a big favorite. I've been on a James Horner kick lately, so it was nice to see "Avatar", one of his better scores. And that version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was a major coup! It's the only release that has the unedited versions of the Desert Chase music and a couple other cues. Nice grab on that Patsy Cline set, too! I had a 4-disc set of hers but it was maybe a bit too deep-dive for me. I've since found two of her original albums, and that's all the Patsy I need. And it's fun to see NSYNC's "No Strings Attached" in there - it'll always be one of my absolute favorites!

Thanx for your upload! I follow other channels where also vinyl are reviewed. There I experience needle drops so I can hear a bit of a song from the album. Did you consider to do that too?

If your not familiar with Airto and Flora Purim, he's a Brazilian percussionist and she is a vocalist, they are married. They did some great work with Chick Corea, the album 'Light as a Feather' check it out. 1970's.

Great you are back 👍 I also like to oen cd’s or vinyl. My eldest daughter thinks the same about this. What kind of sleeves dit you show? Best soundtrack ever: Desperado. The only movie I saw twice in the cinema because of the music.

Blade is upside down

Hi Wes, Great video. I have the Lynn Anderson Christmas and that is a fantastic album. I am surprised you don't have Charlie Brown or the Grinch TV Soundtrack. Those are classics

Wonderful collection. If i had to choose two Christmas selections to listen to. One would be the Beach Boys "Christmas Album" that you showed. The other would be the Winter Warnerland 2 LP promo {Red & Green} with some very cool between song commentary by Pee Wee. Good to see you again Wes. I hope you both have a super holiday. Catch up soon~ Rob/Boston

Welcome back sir! Great stuff. I like a lot of Christmas music but can’t seem to justify keeping seasonal albums around. I should just get some cheap CDs and store em the other 11 months of the year.

I recommend The Brian Setzer Orchestra* - Boogie Woogie Christmas

Nice collection… unfortunately Christmas doesn’t last the whole year…😂

Looks like you have Christmas covered as far as music goes.

Are you picking up anything tomorrow for RSD black friday? I want to get the Warning Error album re-issue but only 3500 copies will be released and i don' think i will get lucky. Are the amounts listed are they for the U.S or worldwide? or is that by State? no idea how that works?

Happy Holidays Wes.

What did you do for labs? Did you use Packet Tracer, GNS3, EVE-NG, or physical routers and switches?

Why didn't you just put a throttle control on that one...I don't blame you for wanting to try new stuff just curious

I love the video what size type and coarse wood screw did you use?

Of course that Briggs Quantum was down on power. You were cutting with the dull side of the blade.

Almost like being there. One absolutely beautiful State Park.

Excellent!

Thank very much for this Video

E1 code , clean or Water how to open it to dry it app. Go Gators!!!!

Awesome video, just did the swap myself, it sucks the motor has gone up to 230, plus another 20 for the throttle kit and mower mount. I saved myself maybe 50 dollars from buying a new one. Not sure if it was worth the hassle. I had the Troy-bilt 21" push mower TB160 that is powered by Honda. I ended up not having a throttle cable on my mower so I purchased a kit on amazon. It was fairly easy, just cut the wire down, bent it, and zipped tied it on. Luckily I had a bolt in my shed that matched the throttle control that was extra from a TV mount.

Thanks so much!!!

Wes, how's the Predator motor holding up, any problems? I'm going to buy one to replace the 2011 Craftsman push mower engine

He's like "mmmm smells like cat piss" I like it

Thanks, Wes. I'll be picking one up.

It is now listed at 4.2% alcohol and 99 calories, with an altered hop lineup.

Big thanks! I just completed this project and wanted to say your video is the best one on KZbin explaining the steps in such detail. I watched all of the Predator 173cc engine swap to mower videos.

That Rick Nelson Box Set is the gold in that package! I have it and it is amazing.

The 7/8 adapter is 19.99😮 now.

I've had my MTD 190 cc Push mower since 2011 and 0 issues. I run VP racing 4 cycle fuel and for oil I use Briggs and Stratton full synthetic or Mobile 1 full synthetic 10w30. I change the oil every 2 summers and the oil is never dirty, in fact it's almost looks the same color are the new oil. MY weed eater and Leaf blower I run VP Racing 50:1 and I never have issues starting and of my yard equipment.

I’m heading there in a couple weeks. Gonna camp and ride my etrike.

Great video Wes, So nice of Tom to do that.

That Rick Nelson set should be a blast. I have a 3-LP set of his stuff and it's very enjoyable. Yes, he was a teen idol but his material was surprisingly good.

Imagine all the effort a band makes to create an album-- Only to end up at a 10 cent charity store. Wow!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the box! I was going to say sorry that some of the tray hubs got smashed, but it sounds like that's not a problem for you. :) I'm happy you apparently didn't have any (or many) of the CDs already! Teddy Thompson (that one's not a castoff, I love his stuff, rather it was a thrift-store find that I bought, knowing I'd find someone to gift it to soon enough) is the son of Richard & Linda Thompson, and I discovered him by way of Rufus Wainwright many years ago. I am sad that most of these artists and albums I just lost interest in, but I'm always happy to give them a new home to someone who might find the same appreciation I had for them years ago. Happy listening, Wes! :)

I always remember Rick Nelson's hit song Garden Party from 1972. My mother liked his 1950s music.

Hah, I’m about to do the plastic sleeve conversion myself. Let me know which kind you like. I’ve got a few picked out on Amazon but I’d trust your rec. I used to bump that first Ludo album back in the day.

Les crane is quite famous here in the UK if its the same guy lol
