i'm having trouble finding a place that still buys used CDs.
Have you tried CD Cellar in Falls Church?
that place is awesome, as is the great used cd store/exchange up at tenley
Well some might consider me an egomaniacal jerk who controls every little move of my vapid "yes" girl, where others may consider me a pussy whipped little boy. The real answer lies somewhere boringly in-between, just like most other people.

Who wears the pants in the Mankie household?

no, i haven't. is it within walking (or short biking) distance from either of the FC metro stops? thanks for the reply.
It's on Broad Street (Route 7) about equidistant from either Metro stop.

I've personally never sold anything there, but I've seen lots of others bringing stacks of discs in.
thanks again.

Redsock, please be sure to differentiate carefully beween Mankie and Markie. We are twins and somewhat alike. But he was born first so he inherits the family gayness, the love of his aide and the family fortune.

I am not as bitter as him, unless you call me by his name.

Quench is OK. I prefer 0898. But if you are prepared to try quench a little more tracks 1 and 4 are pretty good…. Perfect 10 is very fine pop.

Why did you by blood brothers? It might be worse than Mars Volta.


Bagster Which I am kloot did you get (and how much for)? When you listen to Metric please let me know what you think. I really like the combat baby single, but fear it might be another bandages/hot hot heat type thing……

right on wisconsin pretty much, very close to the metro stop.
Don't let em in on the secret Paige…the Tenleytown place sucks. Don't bother going there. All they have is alt-country.

I certainly know the difference, and unless there was a misplaced "r" somewhere, i think i kept it straight. But if you like the Beautiful South, then shame on you too. Track one almost made me get back in the car and drive the cd back to the store to ask for my money back.

Ah, i see it. My apologies…a typo…or perhaps a freudian slip?

I got "Natural History," the only cd they had. $13.95 – I'd looked for I Am Kloot online and they were always mid-$20s, so I grabbed it. Hope it's a goodie.

Will do on the Metric. I actually bought that one new, as I'd just read about it. It was a frenzy, I tell you!

I went used CD shopping this weekend as well. Haven't listened to anyof it yet, but here's the list:

Imperial Teen
ON? I got that one and feel that it is treading water compared to the first two albums.

We all did, it was cold this morning so my wife wore trousers for work and I dressed Rory in a nice pair of cords and rugby shirt for the same reason….why the question? What's the relevance?

Redsock, if you can't appreciate The Beautiful South or Waterboys, then I simply cannot waste one more millisecond of my life on you, so please don't make comments to/about me that require a response as you won't get one, thank you.

For anyone else who comes across a Beautiful South cd, may I suggest a 'greatest hits' compilation as it may take a little while to appreciate his wit and humour in the lyrics. Of course, it helps to be a Brit but the doodles on this board should "get it" for the most part….right markie?
Yup, I got "On" – dammit! Well, all you can do is try.

I dont know, the constant UK airplay really helped to get the singles under my skin. But there is a fair bit of sly humour that Doodles dont get. Allmusic picks up on the peter Lorre, and lorry wordplay.

Still I think the earlier albums are better than quench.

They all have great meoldies and wit though, I dont think it is that much of a stretch to like them, they are a bit "housewives favourite" though.

I like them.

I got ON used recently as well, and I like it, but I think seasick is better.
On seemed Ok to me.

Bagster, where did you do your shopping? (Apologies if you said already)
yesterday I got around to buying some things I had wanted for a long time from Amazon…..

Absolute Classic Masterpieces: Felt

Amazing Grace: Spiritualized ('twas cheap)

Anthology [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] Xray spex

Crazy World of Arthur Brown [IMPORT] [Audio CD] Brown, Arthur

Stains on a Decade: Felt

Twenty Odd Years: Vic Goddard and the Subway Sect (45 songs for $7 new, its on backorder though. Plus its on emusic. Some of it is really good.)
I went to Amoeba in San Francisco – my first trip to an Amoeba anywhere. CDs weren't cheap – used ranged from 4.95 to 8.95. But it was a glorious three hours in a huge, huge store.
Been to Amoeba in SF and LA…both trips very fruitful. Maybe the best stores I have been to, period. Haven't been to the Berkeley store yet.
