i just came across the king of used bins. (not $1, but good prices)

the buzzcocks: peel sessions
the damned: peel sessions (1976)
the damned: peel sessions (1977)
gang of four: entertainment!
jesus & mary chain: darklands
new order: "bizarre love triangle" b/w "state of the nation"
redskins: peel sessions
the smiths: the queen is dead
the smiths: strangeways, here we come
wire: peel sessions

... and about 50 others that i was too euphoric to remember. i already own maybe a dozen that i saw, like new order, the jam, and the clash. unfortunately, i only came away with entertainment!, which has been #1 on my record shopping list for a few years now. but i'm going back on friday and there will hopefully still be some good stuff. the owner asked me when i walked in how long it'd been since i last visited and then pointed me toward these crates. and after realizing i only had $16 in my pocket, i couldn't dig past the third row.

awesome.
there's a little store in my hometown that for whatever reason has stuff that beats the pants off all the other used shops inmid-Michigan. You have to dig through the piles of natalie merchant and gin blossoms, of course, but it's always worth it. I love going in there.

Used CD shopping is one of the few pure joys in my life.

Oh, I thought you were talking about picking up a girl.
