Kind of weird how that few dollars makes that much of a difference. But then again I'm a poor college student.

I wonder if the flood of available product is going to depress Amazon Marketplace prices even more.

Based on all the 10/20% off purchasers alone I think they're doing just fine.

The amount of Six Degrees label stuff still on sale is mindboggling. I have a feeling if I'm even vaguely interested I can get it all for 90% off.

I almost think that the fact that there's so much of it will make people think, "This must not be very good." I do want those Zuco 103 CDs.

Ha, while I was in the store tonight I was thinking, "Does Tower own Six Degrees or something?" I want to go back for some of that later. Hopefully not everyone else will do the same thing before I get to it.

It's the same down here and on the one hand I *don't get it* -- and on the other hand, this is going to make my eventual purchases of it all all the sweeter.

(I don't know why but this temporary board makes me want to change names.)
This Pete Rodriguez is pretty good so far, very boogaloo and Latin soul oriented. Two of these songs had hit remakes in the last decade or so (Tito Nieves's version of "I Like It Like That" and Sonora Carruseles's "Micaela," the latter of which I hated for a few years, especially since it was so ubiquitous, at least in certain circles, but was ultimately won over by).

Boris, PinkThe Knife, Silent ShoutAretha Franklin, I Never Loved a Man...Mogwai, Mr. BeastThis one random Acid Mothers Temple album (that, happily, I don't have yet).
AHGF, remind me again the name of the one fellow you were broken up about who died earlier this year, Cuban percussionist I think? I think I saw copies of that one solo album of his around, might snag it next time I'm there.
