smacky and bucky

Yes, I love my iPod, but iTunes has a lot of gaps in their library (and I'm aware that if they catered to my wishes, they'd go out of business because maybe 20 people would want the same things I want). You still can't beat the feeling of finding a rare CD, or a new CD that just came out, sitting in the local used CD store for $6.00. Even at their reduced "whole CD" prices, it's cheaper to pick it up used. And you can sell back piles of old CDs for credit at these stores and pick things up later for free. I picked up the new one by the French band Phoenix, a live New Order, and an old Bryan Ferry, all for under $15. These stores make me think twice when I'm considering spending $15 on an impulse buy of some CD by some band with one catchy new song. If I wait a week, the used CD place will have 10 copies for $7.00.

Yeah, I don't have a lot to talk about today.
