So I have been working two "servicey" type jobs for going on six years now. Don't get me wrong, they pay the bills and keep my addictions well fed - that's for sure. My opinion, however, is that neither of these jobs I work are what I consider my all-time career choices, but they became long-term, because I'm a patient schmuck.
So about a week ago, a buddy of mine tells me that his work is looking for "someone to play vinyl records" on Sundays. They would pay me just under what I make every weekend at one of my jobs - but just slightly under! Now I'm no DJ Dancemaster Supreme over here, but vinyl records I do gotsi! My buddy knew this and I had worked with him before, so being the good friend he is, he offered the gig to me.
So I met the GM of the establishment for about a minute because she was closing down for the night. She told me to email her some info and a SoundCloud link to anything I've done...um ok! I told her I had nothing like that, and that I was mainly a big nerd for vinyl, but that I'd send her something for sure.
So guys and guys - just kidding, and gal - of NA, I'm kind of afraid and kind of excited at the chance to do this, as music plus getting paid are deep passions of mine. About 30 minutes after I met this GM, I went home and decided to record myself playing records on my turntable - through my shitty phone's mic - and when I was done, I made a new SoundCloud page and threw it up there. It's just a mix of some random goodies, but y'all should check it out, especially if you like low quality bootleg recordings! Here, I'll drop y'all a linkeroo:

Thank y'all in advance!
