curious… I'll probably stop by Saturday and see what it's/he's all about
Based on my thoroughly non scientific analysis of what's shown up in my twitter timeline, the next RSD is focusing on live records and at least in the UK B-side collections.. including the all important collection of Flock Of Seagulls rarties.

I mean, I would check this out but for convenience sake, the off street parking, lax security, ATM access, and close proximity to my Chevy Chase office makes the Wells Fargo on Connecticut hard to beat for my wife’s marijuana delivery needs.
Why do people buy anything?

People like to touch and hold things.
This is true….

Vinyl is very tactile


Why else?
People love to watch things going round and round.

does it?  they say they will continue working with other bands, this press isn't going 100% metallica… hetfield & co will certainly have priority, but i don't think they move enough volume to take over everything.
