Gerald, the funny thing when I read your original post was that I too had a bicycle-Tusk thing going on! Except nothing happens in my story.
It was about a year ago. I had just found this great old second hand LP store. It is massive, but all dark and peculair. Anyway sure enough they had every FM LP known to man. I have Tusk on CD but especially wanted the artwork I'd heard so much about. I really wanted to get both Tusk and the Live LP, but the fact that I'm a poor student coupled with the fact that I don't even have a thing to play the LPs on
, I just got Tusk.
But I had ridden my bike in (I wasn't expecting to find this place and buy an LP!) and I didn't have a backpack. I asked the girl at the counter for a bag but as I say, the place is pretty dodge to say the least, so they didn't really have any. But she eventually found one. The LP
barely fit. It was just your usual plastic shopping bag.
So then it was a matter of riding home on my bike with an LP in a plastic bag hanging off one of the handlebars! Cause it was blowing around everywhere, I had to stabilise it with one hand. I felt so crazy!!
...And then I get home and I can't even listen to it
. But the artowrk sure was worth it. And the LP sounds pristine casue I played a bit of it t my folk's place on their machine.
