First let me say that all we have is major chains like Best Buy, Circut City, and Sam Goody. So I guess the Walton's have already won.

So I went to Best Buy at lunch to pick up Broken Social Scene and Franz Ferdinand. Well they had about 50 copies of BSS, and zero Ferdinand. Didn't stock any. It just seems to me that you would stock Franz Ferdinand before BSS at a store like Best Buy.

Anyway, on first listen Broken Social Scene underwhelmed. I really loved You Forgot it, but so far everything else has stunk.

I'm actually really surprised to hear that Best Buy even has BSS in stock.

I was actually surprised too. I was expecting the opposite.

I thought that too, but the helper person looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about it so I don't know.

I went to Best Buy on my lunch break and they were well stocked on everything. I didn't buy anything though since I intended to get everything via trade ins.

The Best Buy I went to also had a bunch of Broken Social Scene albums and a damn good deal too for $9.99 with the bonus EP. I also picked up "Apologies To The Queen Mary" by Wolf Parade there and on the shelf by it there was a card that read "If you like Modest Mouse, you'll like Wolf Parade" or some variation. I have found that Best Buy seems to surprise me when it comes to certain releases.
