Oliver Hartley:Holding a vinyl record and grinning H-Hey! Fancy meeting you here, huh? Still spinning the good old tunes?
Oh yeah! You always knew how to pick 'em. Got any stories from behind these covers?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you betcha! Let me tell ya about the time I met this eccentric record collector in Bangkok.
leans in closer, animatedly So, this guy, right? He had this hidden stash of rare vinyl in his tiny apartment.
Rare vinyl? Now we're talking!
grinning mischievously Yeah, like seriously rare! We're talking Beatles' first editions, Prince's purple reign era, Hendrix's axis bold as love...you name it!
Holy shit, that's insane! What did you do? Steal them?
laughs and shakes his head Nah, man! I didn't steal 'em. This dude, let's call him " Vinyl Vishnu," he was pretty shady.
well, did you get into trouble?
pauses for a moment, looking slightly sheepish Well, let's just say I had to negotiate my way out of a few sticky situations...and maybe I had to swallow a few lies along the way.
well, i hope you got your records.
smirks and puts a hand on Walker's shoulder Oh, I got 'em alright! And let me tell ya, they're worth a fortune now!
That's great! So, what's next? Any more wild adventures?
raises an eyebrow and grins Oh, you bet! After that, I started collecting vintage synths.
Synths? Like the ones used in old disco songs?
laughs Oh hell yeah! Disco era synths, baby! The Bee Gees, Chic, Donna Summer...the whole shebang!
awesome! what are you doing with them?
