Record Store Day 4/20

I decided to sleep in, and see what was left around 11:30.  I was able to get my number two choice (behind Double Dagger which had quickly sold out this morning) at Trax on Wax in Catonsville.  Their exclusive selection was down to about twenty titles.
A Place to Bury Strangers - Strange Moon

even though i had sworn it off i stopped by the store a few blocks from my house about 11ish..

they had like 20 copies of lawn boy at $99…. a bunch of dead at $53 and the cure's kiss me was $59

a few other things but no sign of the malkmus

oh also the blind melon was there at $59


seeme a bit pricey…maybe my store marked them up.. i don't know..they did look like quality products..

Wtf? What store do you shop at? That is at least double the cost of the list price of all the stores I went to/read online.

I got everything I wanted except Biggie and Malkmus

I swore off RSD, but caved in again.
I started at CD Cellar in Falls Church, about 25th back in the line. It was a bit manic when they opened and just let everyone in, but I managed to get:
Shuggie
P.i.l.
Nick Drake
Sly
Cal Tjader
The staff there is always friendly and chill (Arlington too).
I really wanted that Fela lp, so I headed over to Blue Groove Soundz - they had it, but most items were not priced and no browsing. It was only when you finally got to the register did you get the price - $26 for the Bowie single and $19 for the Nick Cave single!  I slunked out of there with the Fela, but that will be my last visit to that place.

Wait a minute. you're standing in line, 25 deep arly on a Saturday morning, to pay $26 for a Bowie single that is released in 2013?

No offense, but can I ask….why?

Of course, you might ask why someone would pay $26 for a four pack of this…

I'm pretty sure the Bowie was only 7.99 @ cd cellar before they ran out, because that's what I paid for the p.i.l. single and seemed to be the price for all of their 45's.
Blue Grooves was selling the actual Bowie "The Next Day" vinyl lp for maybe 4 dollars more than the single, so there go figure.
It's ok, I'll live.
Now, that 4 pack is totally reasonable and would have gone nicely with my listening today.
Anyone get the "mystery release" single?

Yada, what's the Blind Melon record you got?

Love the Arlington CD Cellar. It also serves as a great concert venue. A few members of a couple of the better local bands (IMO) (Foul Swoops and Cigarette) work there.

I often shop at Blue Groovz, but they are very expensive.  I usually wait until they do 20% or more sale before I will consider walking in the door.  They have good hip hop, jazz and soul there, at least the best I have seen in the area.  Their record store day prices are crazy, but everyone seems to be.  The White Stripes Elephant was $80 at CD Cellar.  Sheesh!
