[@MonieMuse]

Had so much fun meeting up with cd expert Steve! He helps me pick some great rock albums - I love the flaming lips album I bought !!

[@davidellis5141]

Hopefully Santa 🎅 will bring you The Soft Bulletin !

[@retromusings]

This is so cool. Wonderful to see members of the vinyl community meeting up and having such a great time.

[@MonieMuse]

Thank you! It makes this KZbin thing feel like a small world

[@djtrishm]

Its so good to see these meet ups making a comeback! Thumbs! Trish

[@MonieMuse]

Thanks for watching! I enjoy seeing vc met up too 😎

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Love watching VC meetups. That is so awesome. Good stuff.

[@MonieMuse]

It’s so fun to shop w another music nerd 😂 ok so the Christmas Sinatra I zoomed in on was $47! I did not pay that lol I got a good deal on it

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

@@MonieMuse I saw that !!!!! I’m glad you got a deal.

[@tarrtruck2869]

Looks like you had a great time record hunting with Steve. He's a cool dude and very knowledgeable, especially with the obscure bands. Thanks for letting us in!

[@MonieMuse]

yes he knows so much, glad I caught him to help me with the strokes. I've really enjoyed the cds he recommended.

[@davidellis5141]

Cool record shopping with Steve. Love that Cars album they have in the rarities section with Joan Osborne. It was their reunion record & for some reason is out of print. Enjoy the rainy 🌧 weather in Southern California next week ! 🎄

[@MonieMuse]

Ohh really!! It’s probably $100 here .

[@STEVEHEROLD]

hey david i dig that Cars album too but always bums me out that Ben Orr wasn't around for it. he's really missing from it both playing and vocals.

[@davidellis5141]

@STEVEHEROLD It is really odd not hearing him. That one track on Panorama I think You Wear Those Eyes is the only Cars track where Ben & Ric technically duet. I'm going to go listen to it !

[@STEVEHEROLD]

@@davidellis5141 damn david that tune isn’t ringing a bell so i’m gonna go dust off Panorama and listen too.

[@richardwhite2344]

Very cool video MOnie, Thanks for posting

[@MonieMuse]

Thanks for watching! 😎

Ive been buying cd's latley some on ebay and some in the used section of my local store. I was able to buy 8 cd's for $40, such a good deal vs vinyl. Im thinking of upgrading my vintage goodwill cd player since ive really been getting into them again...back in the early 00's i purged all my cd's when apple came out with the ipod and itunes...i thought how cool ill carry all my music in my pocket an on my computer.....ugh ive been buying back all my cd's since. happy holidays monica...brian in Charlotte nc

[@MonieMuse]

Wow, that’s been the same journey as me! I was really excited when iTunes came out w the iPod and then Apple Music, purged all my CDs too. I missed seeing them and looking at the cover and owning my music. Buying them back now lol. I’m able to complete cd discographies. Finding them under $10. So glad to hear you’re into cds again. It’s really fun.

[@shaunspins]

Nice to see you two together in a video. Hope all is well.

[@MonieMuse]

Thank you! I enjoy seeing meet ups too 😊

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Hey Monie ! Had a good time with Steve as well up here in Reno.. The Beatles Red I just scored on a Gold Stamped promo ( Tower records stock ) for 20.00 ! Have a great 2024.. And see you again on your channel.😊

[@MonieMuse]

Thank you, it was fun to see you guys hanging out on Steven channel

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

@MonieMuse Thank you..I Hope to travel back east sometime. There are a few characters that I would like to visit, Steve.. Definitely ! Maybe have him take me to NYC. 🍎

[@MonieMuse]

@@jtsrecordroom3963 yes! Take him up on the offer! 😎😊

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

@MonieMuse I will ! Best wishes for 2024, BTW ✨️

[@evagarcia8537]

Looks like fun shopping with the expert Steve

[@MonieMuse]

Yes it was a fun little adventure, he helped me find some good deals too 😊

[@MGKBOSTON]

Hi there! Steve H sent me over here. New to your channel and just subscribed. Our daughter is a freshman at Pomona College in Claremont, and we were just visiting in October. I had Rhino Records on my radar but just didn't make it this trip. Next time! You can't go wrong with any Flaming Lips stuff. Happy Holidays!

[@MonieMuse]

YES! thanks for checking out my videos and subscribing. Oh how fun for your daughter, Claremont is a beautiful little town, its almost like Pasadena. I really loved with Rhino was in downtown Claremont, I would make a day of it. Flaming Lips is awesome!

[@georgespencer3973]

That Courtney Barnett CD has Avant Gardener. The lyrics are pretty funny. So many good records in this clip, Flaming Lips Soft Bulletin, Danny Elfman So-Lo, Strawberry Alarm Clock ( a lot of very silly songs, aside from Incense, but fun to listen to. Some of the lyrics… oh, brother.) $74 for the Beatles Red Album? Yikes. Thanks for the trip!

[@MonieMuse]

It’s kinda fun to watch the clips I filmed when I’m home cause I notice some records I missed. Yeah isn’t $74 a little too much lol

[@georgespencer3973]

@@MonieMuse Agreed!

Good video i also seen Steve on JT Record Room channel that was a good video also.

He’s on tour 😂

@@MonieMuse I'm already booking 2024 dates.... hahaha.

daryl hanging with JT was almost as much fun as hanging with Monie & Gus... *almost*. We don't want JT's head to get too big. hahaha. I just posted my version of my visit with JT if ya feel like taking a look....

[@MonieMuse]

Lol he’s a big rams fan, he went and saw a game on his trip

[@STEVEHEROLD]

Robert! Rams gotta win out so we can sneak into playoffs and maybe cause some damage.

[@robertquesada1136]

@@STEVEHEROLD That's what I'm hoping.

[@Cookingwithsteveg]

Looks like a fun day! Great finds! CDs definitely don’t get the value search by retailers that vinyl gets. I’d imagine there are a lot of gems to be found in CD format. Steve picked up that nice Dead Milkmen CD! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@MonieMuse]

Oh that’s a really good point! Steve knows his stuff and found his treasure 😂

[@STEVEHEROLD]

yeh Chef that Dead Milkmen CD caught me off guard. Literally saw they had a punk section right before leaving.

[@Cookingwithsteveg]

@@STEVEHEROLD You’ve got the eye for it, Steve. Good looking out. I just subbed to your channel. Looking forward to checking out your content. I just introduced a CD player to my system. Take care, Steve.

[@STEVEHEROLD]

@@Cookingwithsteveg thanks Chef. Maximum respect. Gonna dig it into your vids as well especially that tamale video. You must’ve had a CD player before right?

[@Cookingwithsteveg]

@@STEVEHEROLD Hi Steve! I haven’t had a CD player in my home system for over 20 years. I had nothing CDs. It was one or the other. I always had so many vinyl records and I just stopped playing my CDs. I listened to my CDs in my car up until mp3 technology came around. I eventually sold my CDs at my record store. I’ve only recently realized how much great music I’m missing out on because not everything is available on vinyl. You definitely know your stuff. Much respect 🫡 right back at you. I wonder if you ever rolled through my records store in Ontario back when it was still open? It was Euclid in Downtown Ontario. It was called The Record Mission.

[@Heartonmysleeve-gj1kp]

Courtney Barnett is quite good. I noticed you browsed by Khruangbin who are also interesting.

[@MonieMuse]

Oh I love khruangbin! I was looking for a deal and they suddenly have a lot of records to pick from, i don’t know what to get next. I have texas sun and mordechai .

[@jmfloyd23]

I’d love to have a VC meet up one day. Looks like y’all had a great time!

[@MonieMuse]

VC meet ups are so fun, meeting Steve in person was like catching up with an old friend.

[@josephpolaster2271]

Man oh man, I wish we had record stores like that in Niagara Falls. Now that I'm retired I would spend hours there every day. Do they have a coffee bar at Rhino.? ❤ Kansas is always a good purchase👍

Aloha Monica, Dat is so cool, to meet up.... I'm curious how much were the records at Goodwill ? example: OHIO PLAYERS FIRE. That Steve was looking at. Prices here at goodwill last time I checked was $1.49 . Great to see you all finding Cd's. Did Gus, purchase any Records? Looking forward to watching your next video. Mahalo Ed

[@STEVEHEROLD]

aloha ed. back where i live in NJ vinyl at goodwill is usually 2.49 and CDs 99¢. in socal the CDs are usually 2.99-3.99 cant remember what the vinyl was priced at but had to be around that same price.

[@MonieMuse]

Gus picked up two, I forgot to record it, he got the Ohio players fire and Pink Project Hypnotized. $3.99

[@marksantucci4230]

nice I have that Beatles got it a real long time ago now it's up to 74.00 dollars and you can't take it out of the house!! cd's make music to my years just not new ones nice pick ups , questions 1. Is Steve wearing a La Rams cap or a different team or non sports? I see the hat at :54 of your video 2. in Baseball who does Steve root for? 3. In Football who does he root for? 4. with all of the comotion about Taylor Swift what do you think about her music? real music like Lionel Ritchie, Elton John or teenie bopper like the Bay City Rollers and New Kids? 5. which artist do you like better Taylor Swift or Beyonce? 6. who's better Taylor Swift or Beyonce? example I like Judas Priest Turbo but I heard Metal church's album debut is better.

[@MonieMuse]

Steve is a rams fan, football . Not sure is Steve is into baseball. Yeah I’m on the look out for Beatles originals at a good price. I use to see them everywhere for $20 which I thought was a lot then. I kinda like Taylor but she’s getting kinda strange like singing about drinking blood lol I’m not a fan of Beyoncé at all. Can’t stand her lol never liked destiny’s child either .

[@MonieMuse]

I like Elton John! ❤️

[@marksantucci4230]

@@MonieMuse 5. I like Beyonce much better than Taylor Swift. 6. I don't think there are any magazines that can point out who's better most would say Beyonce has been around a while and Taylor Swift not that long ago.

[@MonieMuse]

@@marksantucci4230 Beyoncé does have the better voice though, debatable I guess .

[@JJ-ez3tr]

You will like “American Head”. You got a good price too

[@MonieMuse]

Oh my goodness- I LOVE this album, been playing it since I got it. I can’t believe no one recommended it to me earlier lol took 3 years to get to me
