Makes No Sense At All and I attended the 2005 Carytown Watermelon Festival, its an annual thing they put on and it draws huge crowds of thousands of people. It's claustrophobic and always so humid you want to die, however, Plan 9 has a special sidewalk sale where they put out boxes of records for 25 cents, cds for a dollar, and dvds for 2-4 dollars. I bought 12 cds, 9 were a dollar.

JoeyCrack are you still in the Richmond area? Just wondering if you may have been there.
Anyways, here are my finds for the day:

Those are all one dollar albums. The rest I bought were new/used. The rest, meaning the three others.

Image (14.99)
Image (3.50)
Image (9.00)

I also bought 5 stickers for my car. The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Pogues, Pixies, Sham 69, and the Buzzcocks.

What a day. Even though i'll probably rarely pull out that Phish cd, or ever really listen to Depeche Mode, the 9 one dollar cds I bought this year were better than last years Prodigy and Hole and shit that they had.
Yet, the amount of cds they put out was pathetic. New boxes every 3 and a half hours, and it would be one box of bad cds even then.

EDIT:
I went back and got more.

Image On vinyl. I already own it on cd obviously. (10.00) completely worth it though.

What the hell? Whenever any store here has a "dollar bin" type thing, all I can find are crap-ass crap like a million Hootie CDs. It's EXTREMELY rare that anything of value can be found at those sales.

And Shinola kicks ass. "Tuesday . . . is pizza day."

I wish I had stayed longer. They probably put out a bunch more CDs this afternoon.

For a dollar, I bought:

I love to hear stories like these.


For a buck that Prince 3-cd set is a fucking bargain. It's the last thing he did that was brilliant IMO. Everyone should have this in their collection.

I know, and this record store never sells anything in bad condition, really, I mean a few cds will have a scratch or two or the cd booklet will look sort of bad or the case will be broken but the discs themselves are in good condition 99% of the time. So it was really amazing to get it in perfect condition, three cds, for a dollar. The only time I ever got something in bad condition was when I got Trompe Le Monde, however, they gave it to me for free. It was really fucked up, but it still plays.
:D
