I was in the used CD store at lunchtime and they had a used copy of The Bends. So, being the addict that I am, I bought it. I've heard selected tracks off this one, but never the whole CD.

Unfortunately, he wanted $18.99 for the new REM. I like to support my indie guy, I don't mind paying a buck or two more. He always charges me less than his ticketed price and he's introduced me to lots of great music, so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth even when I occasionally pay more than I need to. But it was $6.00 over Best Buy. That's a bit much.

And, sorry Swishy, he didn't have the new Muse. I'll have to order that one from the US anyway to get the CD/DVD version. It doesn't look like the DVD was released here.

I also picked up:

Roger Waters - The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (used)
Vanden Plas - Far Off Grace (used)
Porcupine Tree - We Lost the Skyline (new)
Riverside - Out of Myself (I ordered this one a long time ago...finally came in)

And an assortment of burned rarities, bootlegs and OOPs that he made for me by:
Riverside
Threshold
Dream Theater
Porcupine Tree

A nice way to spend a lunch hour!
