To mark the (relative) end of Summer, let's go on a little thrifting expedition...made up of footage mostly shot back in May and June.

Anyway, next week is still kind of up in the air. If I have this year's Record Ripoffs episode completed, I'll release that (to coincide with Labor Day weekend) and we'll push back the next Archiveland Public Domain Theatre livestream back to the first week of September. Otherwise, it'll be a livestream next week and Record Ripoffs that first week of September.

Greetings from San Diego! Got to start my day with OA for a change- and was rewarded with "My Buddy" for an earworm. Thanks for ruining my vacation, Ben! 😆 Seriously, another fun thrifting video- I had to laugh when I saw the condition of the CCR record.

At the first store, 605 Antiques, I noticed one of the tapes on the shelf was "Jolly Time at Jellystone", a 90s VHS collection of random Yogi Bear cartoons that was offered as a free premium for mailing in some Proofs of Purchase tabs/UPCs from Jolly Time popcorn products. It's nothing too special other than some early 90s popcorn commercials at each end of the tape, but if it's there next time, and if the price is right, you should pick that up for a little piece of cartoon history. That Panasonic stereo at Savers is the exact same model I had when I was attending an area college in 2006, and the one I had was also found at the town thrift store! What I liked about it was the servo controlled cassette deck, which used AC Bias recording! I remember making a lot of Oldies mixtapes off 107.9 FM and also taping the weekend 80s and 90s music shows off 97.3 FM too. The 5CD changer was also great, and I also used the stereo for my TV sound. Given how this footage was filmed earlier in the summer, it's likely the Panasonic has left Savers' shelves. Things really do turn around quite quickly there. If I ever saw this stereo again somewhere at a good price, I'd pick it up again in a heartbeat!

Re: CCR, yeah... just... why the... who the... what process occurred that that ended up on a shelf for sale?? Guess it's not any weirder than past album jackets, with no record inside.

Do we get a hint as to what the next Public Domain Theatre feature will be? Following along from Eegah, will Manos: Hands of Fate feature at some point, being another infamous Archivism? Like Eegah (before PD Theatre), I've never seen it... and watching for the 1st time these Archivisms I've never seen curated by you on PD Theatre reminds me of watching films noir on Noir Alley on TCM curated by Eddie Muller. Just wouldn't be as good watching it solo.

I get the impression that some sellers don't bother checking them first. Happens to me too. Or some jerk broke it and left it there.

The next one is intended to be a back-to-school special of sorts--of the schlock variety. I suppose I should do a silent to tie in with Silent Movie Day at the end of September--not sure what yet though. I already know exactly what I want to run for the Halloween-season one.

Finally a Tiny Tim bootleg. This alone makes the trip worth it. The Slim Whitman is my type of luck: never can find it when I need it, then it turns up. At Barnes and Noble I found the box set of the Beatles Revolver on album. Got it for half price. As always great work
