The second of its record kind in the neighborhood, Johanns Face Records personality Marc Ruvolo would essentially be hawking his collection of cult books, fantasy and speculative fiction oddities he jokingly refers to as junk if not for the realization that his punk past would color the old law office space a bit more lucrative.
Having a hand in the production and signing of more than 100 local, usually abrasive, tongue-in-cheek punksters from the Smoking Popes to the Sass Dragons (see latest LP New Kids On The Bong) since the late 80s, a third of Bucket O Bloods mass of junk celebrates Ruvolos other passion vinyl. It has music nerds young and old streaming in to see all of the rarities, priced to move, assures Ruvolo, well under $10.
As for the junk proper, Ruvolos quick to show off his ancient astronaut member card that his dad bought him in his teens, when not categorizing a good four 9-by-5 bookcases of occult literature also tagged to steal under $5. And be sure to check out the awesome section in the back, thumbed with a bit of true crime, historical fiction, humor and popular science for kicks.
