i was given a copy for my birthday. i don't imagine i am alone on this board in the area of being a really shitty dude to buy a record for without asking me first. anyway, anyone want one? perhaps some kind of trade or something?

is it still sealed? take it to any mall record store and get store credit or walmart even.

it is sealed. will best buy take it? that's the only kind of store i see in my daily life that strikes me as the kind you are talking about.

Stuff I have to trade:

The Truth By La Rocca
Nick Lowe- The Convincer
The Sword- Age Of Winters
Secret Machines- Ten Silver Drops
Paper Airplane Pilots- Western Automatic Music
Josh Ritter- Hello Starling (w/ bonus 4-track live disc)
Raconteurs- Broken Boy Soldiers

Some of these I got used, so buyer beware.

This time of year, and the fact that its sealed should bid well in yr favor.

Do you have a fireplace?

Do you have a small dickie?

Viking funeral. Colin Meloy would DEMAND it.

Send it to me.

best buy wouldn't allow me to return it. bastards!!!

Trade in two copies rather than one?

Nice.

Also off the charts, in terms of irony, seeing as it was billy g himself who introduced the CMJ BB at the time to The Decemberists. There was a significant period of time before Castaways and Cutouts was picked up by Kill Rock Stars that billy g was the ONLY person on the CMJ BB to even know who they were way back then, and he touted that album like it was the second coming of Sgt. Peppers.

I, too, have relatively soured on Meloy and Co., but I have to chuckle at just how full circle they have come with billy g.
