So there's having a funding drive here at work for the United Way. They have a raffle, but it seems someone also donated some promos copies of CDs for people to buy.

My haul:

- TVOTR - Return to Cookie Mountain
- Be Your Own Pet - s/t
- Eve Egoyan - The Art of Touching the Piano (classical)

Grand total = $1.50

I'm a happy, happy girl.

Any good finds from unlikely places for you lately?

not exactly lately, but my best story about finding albums in unlikely places is when i was apartment-hunting with one of my friends in new york.

we went to this horrible place in brooklyn - next to what appeared to be a slaughterhouse. i was just there to guide her around town and stayed back while she looked around. the guy who lived there had a ton of records and she pointed them out to me as she walked by. then he says, "if you're interested in any, let me know. i'm probably going to sell a bunch soon." i found a few, but only left with for your pleasure by roxy music because the others were in very poor condition or he didn't want to part with them. and it's my favorite roxy music album, so i guess that worked out. and she found a way better apartment about ten minutes later.

i found two of the records dj shadow samples on "endtroducing" in what should have been the most picked-over thrift store in a town full of djs:

stanley clarke " journey to love" (spacey sample at the very beginning of the album)
weather report "sweetnighter" (used on midnight in a perfect world)
also got james brown - pure dynamite

Does finding Teenager Of The Year under my car seat after 2 years count?

I paid a couple of dollars for a John Peel Sessions album that I found at a moving sale. Might've even been $1. Good record, though. Siouxsie and the Banshees, Gang of Four, Joy Division, lots of live British goodies.
