i'll occasionally buy music for nostaligic purposes, but store credit cards are my only option.

so i was in wal-mart looking for something halfway decent.

this fiftyish nag is down the aisle, frantically flipping through shit and mumbling to herself.

the clerk comes buy and she gets vocal about the lack of stuff worth buying. he agrees & says "i don't think there's anything here i'd buy".

these are my kind of people, and i'm hoping to get in on this, but of course i have three cd's in my hand at the time.
and i thought this must be how it feels to settle for less than satisfaction. which made me think of all the people in this forum.

the clerk suggested this ranting meat pit try hmv in the mall. she goes: "but it's so much cheaper here."

fucking ungrateful cow. hmv has nothing i want to buy either, but if they did, price sure as fuck wouldn't be an issue.

anyway, how did buying cd's turn into such a masochistic experience. i almost always leave empty-handed and wanting to kill myself.
any store really. wal-mart, virgin, indie stores....i think i've ascended.

i've been off bathhouse sex for seven months, but might go back out of sheer nothing to fucking do-ness.

soulseek might help

I once bought a radiohead documentary at wal mart it was so shit it didn´t even have radiohead´s music in it it pissed me off

also if you must go the labels or smaller labels you like or band websites themselves etc. check their catalogue

i hate shit like that, but i'll buy it in times of desperation.

like those shitty audio interview/booklet things. and the booklets always smell like of combination of lead-based paint and unwashed asshole.

Sometimes Walmart gets special editions of cds and sells them for cheap...aside from that what can you expect it isn't a music store.
My fave stores are Best Buy and Future Shop...so many deals!

I buy most of my CDs used....

Kansas has cd tradepost

I work at HMV, I get everything at supplier cost.

That is dreamy...I used to work at a cd store.

Did you get a similar advantage?

yes and the cargo record lady loved us and always brought double play copies an singles that were $.99!

It closed and I was so sad!

i dont know how unwashed asshole smells

people are being slowly discouraged to buy things in the real non virtual world.

What did you expect? That's walmart for you. What I don't understand they censor the music but they sell rated mature games and rated R movies. Guess I don't get it. Mostly there's Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Best Buy, and Fye. Fortunately I know of local record stores and the internet to get what I'm looking for. The mainstream chains either they're too expensive or they don't have what I want.

uh, walmart, the "family" store, I dont think they sell anything with cuss words supposedly or stuff that needs a parental advisory sticker if I remember right? Though I do recall they sold a Van Halen CD that they didnt know had 'fuck' in it or something. Yeah, their stuff is fairly bad, its like Tesco's range of CDs, shit but really cheap prices.

haha, one of my most embarrassing moments ever happened down one of their CD isles

I bought Amy Winehouse's Back to Black at Walmart like an idiot. Of course, I got the censored version. I was too embarrassed to lend it to friends when they asked.

parental advsdfdffd stickers always made me laugh when i saw them
they only exist in america no?:

Hasn't that Amoeba place put a lot of smaller local record stores out of business? Personally I hate the long lines and refuse to shop there.
