The Existential Angst of The Music Collector

It just doesn't seem fair...



You think you've got it covered, you know? You think that with all the research and reading and blogs and downloading that you have a pretty good handle on what's out there as far as music. You think you know it all. Then a re-issue label like Vampi Soul comes along and blows that thought straight to shit. You don't know nothin'. What, you got a collection of Funk and Soul from '60s Spain? No? Well, here ya go. How about two volumes of two CDs each, for starters. And it's good. Fuck me. This rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper...

Wagon - Para Siempre (ysi)






You notice the blatant rip-off of subtle nod to The Doors "Peace Frog" there? And no, I don't know anything about the actual group, and neither does anyone else...
