Slowly but surely, I am building a wall of ghettoblasters in my apartment/office. These two modest little units below that I recently acquired weigh in at about 30 pounds each. They are on the small side. Still, they extract a sweet sound!
Ghettoblaster or GHETTO-BLASTER? The highest selling items on the ‘Bay use it as one. Go figure. One thing is certain: like all good things, the older and the bigger all the better:

JVC RC-M90 from japan, sold for $880 on Jan 22

Been very happily diggin’ this stuff up like mad the past couple weeks. I know 3D Emblem is responsible for a lot of Harley stuff not necessarily branded as 3D emblem (i.e. American Biker, and any thing form Ft. Worth, Texas is 3DE). But I wonder if they were affiliated with Just Brass/JRS Enterprises of Freeport, NY. I Could have sworn I’ve seen pieces that were cross branded. Further investigation is necessary. Anyway dig in people!
I don’t own any Beatles records or have any of their music on my hard drive, but still I don’t get people who hate The Beatles. A group with such diverse musical output must have at least ONE song that even the most jaded hater can’t resist.
What can be said of the 1986 classic COBRA that has not already been laid bare by i-Mockery? News to me: Stallone wrote the screenplay, which had something to do with Beverly Hills Cop… but that’s another story and a different bale of vintage clothes. Anyway lets familiarize ourselves with this vintage gem, which is now kicking ass and taking names in my eBay store.
That image looks an awful lot like a decapitated squirrel, a running theme in Mark E. Smith’s career for longer than the public imagined mabye?
Behold, the ravages of time:
37 Watchers and counting! Gotta love the flamboyant Nike ATC styles courtesy of a young rebellious and once great head of hair, Andre Agassi.

Sure that small stack of vintage Surfer Magazines from the early 80’s I picked up at the estate sale last week arent worth much on ebay. But on my blog they are priceless!
It’s always LO time with this dope vintage Ralph Lauren POLO SPORT watch print shirt. The date on the watch reads “1991″ which dates it as an early piece of vintage RL Polo Sport. Picked this piece up along with a bunch of other RL pieces the last couple of weeks, including couple nice Polo Golf pieces, and a nice Crest rugby jersey. Check them out on eBay!
The Western look has never suited me. I’m not so tall or skinny, so all that plaid, tight denim, and leather just makes me look ridiculous. Here then for the vintage western lover are a nice assortment of Tony Lama boots I thrifted this week. Particularly nice are the caramel brown boots with the white top stitching. The black label on the inside designates them as pre 1990’s, and are made with a heavier grade of leather than the contemporary stuff.
