The Ledge #638: The Hudson Basement Excavation Project

If you follow me on the various social media platforms (paulisded) you've probably seen a variety of pictures with the tagline "The Hudson Basement Excavaton Project". A little explanation is needed. Decades ago, my son needed a rack to store his records as he had followed in the old man's footsteps and put together his own sizable library. As I did not at that point even own a turntable, my records were all boxed up and stored in the basement.

A few years later, home renovatons meant that these boxes were joined by more boxes of CD's, books, magazines, and other junk that needed to be moved out of the way of new carpet and paint. The original boxes of records were now buried. When I returned to vinyl a decade ago, I had a feeling that somewhere there just had to be a bunch of albums. I mean, come on. I would never sell or give away Replacements records, right?

This feeling carried on whenever I saw a good stash of used records at local stores, or when a classic album was reissued. There just has to be records somehwere/anywhere! I would take tentative searches while doing laundry from time to time, but just a few weeks ago I hit the jackpot. I found some good ol' Taco Bell shredded lettuce boxes. You may laugh at that, but those were the perfect boxes to store records. And sure enough, as I moved other boxes around, and squeezed in between other barriers (old lawn furniture, etc.) it was indeed what I've been looking for. One great box of vinyl, with another couple right next to it. A few weeks later there was another discovery!

So tonight's show is all about some of the gems discovered during this process. Some are quite rare. Others could be pretty easily found in most good used stores. But it' sover two hours of fantastic old faves from the 70s, 80s, and even a couple from the 90s!

hey this is bad news but here i am eh so why not

dont habe a pic of the weaving i did but theres three parts:

bottom section - little grey person hidden beneath a raised surface, next to a rectangle with a green squiggly lie

middle section - person on a square, desk nearby

top section - green circle

so the top and middle i’m sure happened tho what exactly happened i don’t know, i don’t know all deatils or feel like i dont. the bottom one i really don’ tknow.

i’ll start with the top, least freaky maybe

top = green circle = busch gardens. i wanted to go on a ride, my best friend and her friends didn’t want to but some other guy did so we went togehter, wehn we got off the ride, my friend and the others were gone so it wa s just us. i could have left him but i was yougn and scared of being alone so i stayed (was late middle school, early high school, not sure which). i walked around with him for a while, he tried to talk to me often but i was nervous, he gave me his coat on a ride because i apparently seemed cold. we went into a ride, a 4d ride with like air sprayed at you and shit and the seats moved. but at first you’re all supposed to stand on green lit up circles to lisetn to the opening story. so i stnad on onea nd he stands behind me. right behidn me, hands on my hips and i didn’t want to be there and i i’m not sure what else i’m losing my shit here haha uh

to the middle section!!!!!!!!!

college time, there’s a little weed, some alcohol. and ecstasy which i’d never taken before. my roommate who was basically my protector, wasn’t there, but i took it all anyway, drunk high, looking at the wood of the table. he shows me a pictuer of his dog on his camera i show him one of my dog on my phone. we’re on the couch, he holds my hands, i touch his hair or want to at least, it’s curly. we were at first with two other peolple, one a girl i knew the other the guys’ roommate, and at some point they went somewhere, left us alone. we went to his bedroom, there’s a desk, a bed. green/plaid sheets. i am in the bed in a ball, fetal position you know, the wall is cold

h

top = childhood, friend’s house, friend’s famioly has lots of problems that i still don’t know all of but like weird shit, like bad stuff must have bene happeining ther anyway, in the basement, there’s one of those road maps rug things that you cna put cars on and drive or whatever, idk how to describe gbut i’ve seen them a few times since, it’s a kids thing. anyway i hid under some stuff but could see it from where i was, i think i was being crushed but don’t know by who> i remmeber.......... struggling, writhing like a bug stuck on its back, i. want to say it was a man, a full grown man. the friend who lived there was a boy my age, he had an older brother and a younger sister. and a mom. but tbh i couldn’t tell you for usre whether their dad was aroudna t that time or not, i just don’t know, but i feel like it was a man, a man. on me. i want to write ‘on me’ but didn’t want to put it there like it’s bad, is it bad. what if i’m wrong, what if i’m making it up, oh

oh boy, this is fucked, sorry. i’m sorry.........
