I'm Jay Retard and uh, here at Amoeba.
[E] Singing in [C] the sun [B] sun.
[E] Bringing the whole Africa.
Sipping on the bad advice.
I'm going for Wonderboys.
[E] Latino.
We're looking at what you're buying today, what you got in this bag here.
Well, [G] [F#m] it's a [B] scientist [G] album.
Not like, [F#] I kind of was buying stuff based on production quality and not so much if I like the record.
[E] [Em] [E]
Um, [Em] first time this record's like, pop punk record almost, like power pop.
Something [B] happened, I think it's drugs.
These guys [E] all had like, beetle cuts and played power pop music.
This record's really frightening sounding to me.
It's really dark and dirgy.
There's nothing poppy about it, so.
That's why I went for that one.
[Gm] And [F] uh, going back to [F] production.
Abba.
[Em]
Um, drugs [A] again.
Um, sounds really good on drugs.
What [B] songs are on that one?
[Em] Take a Chance on Me is a pretty, probably a pretty big hit on here, I don't know.
If you change your [B] mind.
Take a chance.
You know, I'm just trying to familiarize [G] myself with Abba.
You know, [B] um, always put them [F#m] off, but [F#] lately, [F#m] been on a kick.
Blame it on a girl or something, you [B] know.
[F#m] Um, what else is in here?
We're gonna run out of [G#] stuff real fast, cause I only got a few things.
It's all good.
Um, back to [B] production.
Yeah, this record's recorded really terrible.
[C] [G] [C]
[G] It's probably one of the [C] thinnest sounding rock and roll [G] records ever, but.
Somehow it's [C] really cool.
[D] And um, [C] you know, I have a lot in common with [D#] these guys, if you can [A#] see.
I kinda like [Gm] records with people that [F] look like [Gm] scumbags.
On the front.
[D] A lot of hair so [G#] far.
[Cm] [G] [C] And uh, Galaxy 500, these [A] are just really expensive.
And [Cm]
today I got it [C#] for free from Amoeba, thank you.
[Em] I decided.
[C] I decided to [G] go for this.
Don't let our youth go to waste.
It's a good long jam, man.
I just wanted to get [D] it on a record.
I have the CD, and I figured [G#] I might as well get it on a good [E] record.
So how's it been going to different record stores [C] each day?
[Em] It's odd.
It's made me [D] kinda confused about what to buy.
So I really haven't.
I don't deal with too many [G] options very well, you know what I [C] mean?
But um, it's cool.
[D] Kind of sensory overload, you know, being a record store everyday.
[E] But um, [C] I like to put out records, it's my favorite format.
Buying a little piece.
[B] So going around and [G] playing stores that [C]
sell mine is [G] pretty cool.
And being able to play for free, being able to play to babies, old [C] people.
You know, people that normally wouldn't come to a smoky bar.
[G] So uh, it's been different.
But uh, I'm kinda bored with the whole bar scene anyways.
So it's alright.
It's [B] different being with the lights [G] on.
You can't really hide as [C] much, but uh, I'm not here to hide I guess.
