So I went to the local downtown wrecka stow on my lunch break today, just cuz it was payday and I wanted to treat myself to a new Eurythmics reissue or two...so I went, grabbed the two that they had that I didn't already own, and went to the counter, where they charged me SIXTEEN BUCKS for both CDs....

...and then I saw the sign and nearly passed out:


ALL CDS 50% OFF.



SO:

this week's buys are:

eurythmics - sweet dreams (reissue) 7.50
eurythmics - be yourself tonight (reissue) 7.50
miss kittin - mixing me 4.00
june carter cash - ring of fire (best-of) 7.50
frankie goes to hollywood - welcome to the pleasuredome 6.00
laibach - anthems (2 disc best-of) 10.00

Are you fuckin' kidding me? Every CD? I'm going as soon as I get off work.

i am not fucking kidding you. my hands are still shaking from the experience.

the great thing is, all the super popular top 40 crap has sold out, but all the weird-ass shit that i love is ALL THERE TO BE HAD.

i may go back after work

ps - all DVDs 40% off

Anxiety said:

damn....ok I really wish I lived in Chicago now.

i'm sitting here trying to come up with a list of stuff to hunt down after work.

the DVD sale isn't that great, by the way, because their DVD prices suck to begin with, so 40% off comes out to what they SHOULD be selling them for.

Anxiety said:

What store is this???-- I still have a couple of the reissues left to get too!!
Thanks for the info

check yer orgnotes.

Anxiety said:

Have another hit of CD! Great prices. I keep forgetting about those Eurythmics remasters.

RipHer2Shreds said:

i'm still ....my body is back at work, but my soul is still raiding the bins.

Fuck, there goes my Christmas gift!

It's my own damn fault for being late!

Moonbeam said:

you were going to get me the best of laibach?

Anxiety said:

I already got you one of the others... I wonder which one...

why can't there be a sign/sale like that at hymie's records???

Moonbeam said:

well, once i get 'revenge' i'm not gonna be in a hurry to get the ones left that i don't have. i have 'touch', 'savage', 'sweet dreams' and 'be yourself tonight' now. i may get 'in the garden' and 'we too are one' at some point, but i'm in no great hurry.

the best part is that all the weirdo stuff i like is getting completely ignored. it was like being in anxy heaven. if they had the quintron cd i've been looking for, i'd be levitating right now.

Anxiety said:

I can always use a 3rd copy of the Sweet Dreams remaster anyway!

Now I'll just have to surprise you with something else!

Moonbeam said:

oh no!

ya know what burns my biscuits about all this?

they had a copy of the talking heads brick box set for $120.

some MF made off with that thing for sixty lousy dollars.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!!

oh well, i still made off with cool stuff.

I am sooooo jealous!


but... for you!

Tell me that they don't have any HUMAN LEAGUE.

oh, they probably did/do.

Wow, nothing is ever 50% off here unless it's my pants.

i'm off work in half an hour.

and then i'm going back in.

I just got back. Mommy.


I picked up a Public Enemy greatest hits compilation I didn't have and Steely Dan's Everything Must Go.

I was in that store for two hours.

Of course, as soon as I left I remembered some stuff I didn't have.

I'm going to go to Electric Fetus as soon as I get some clothes on. I don't anticipate those cheap bastards will have anything 50% off.

Stymie said:

since it's cold and yucky and i just bought theatre tix, i didn't go back. ah well, i'm happy with what i got. i'll be a busy boy tonight.
