The Stuck in the 80s crew had a busy day on Friday. First , we recorded our next show, which hopefully will go online in the next couple days.

Then we spent a few hours at Banana's Music in St. Petersburg, where Sean Daly spent two hours posing for the cameras -- all part of a campaign to promote his enormous mug for the newspaper. Take a look at the behind-the-scene photos I took and give him credit: He defied certain death by climbing onto a couch 8 feet off the ground.

I was supposed to be there to spot him, possibly catching his falling torso and saving his miserable life. Instead I chose to browse what has to be the largest vinyl record store in the world. Seriously, where else can you find a dozen mint copies of Loverboy's "Get Lucky" album?

Sean picked up a copy of Night Ranger's "Midnight Madness" album on vinyl, which he fondled for the remainder of the day. I no longer own a turntable, so I was happy to instead grab CDs of "The Best of .38 Special" (playing now in my headphones? "If I'd Been the One"), "Best of Talking Heads" and The Velvet Underground's "Andy Warhol" album.

The store's owner, Doug Allen, and I chatted about some of the rare albums of the 80s -- music from the decade played nonstop during our visit. (Hey, fans of The Producers. He's got a few of their discs -- and much cheaper than they're going for on Amazon or eBay.)

Later that night, Sean dragged me from my desk, forced me to drink alcoholic beverages, ordered 50 chicken wings and refused to let me go home until I dropped his incoherent carcass off at his house after midnight. But that's another blog item. Pop a couple aspirin and enjoy the album, buddy.
