not technically....
468 came into my possession... If there was a '*' at the end of the CD/DVD, it means I got it for free via work, or I got it using 'trade-in' credit.

Hardly. Those Citay, LSF, and Zach Hill/Mick Barr albums are good. Witch just seems kinda OK, though, and Art Bears is just weird.

I'm going to hit the Clark St Tower tonight. I have so many holes in my collection, I'm sure I'll walk out of there with $75 worth of music easily.

I think today or tomorrow is the last day here, and they're up to 90% off, with squat for choice.

Anyone want the Drywall (Stan Ridgway) disc? They've got like 430 of 'em.

I think the ultimate insult to a band is to go into a Tower on the last day of this sale and there to be 8-10 of your albums on the rack.


Ouch.
