Bob, I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to post your reviews. You've helped me discover some new stuff, or at least feel like I'm trying

I have a great used and new store (a local chain) (way too) near my house. They used to pay better for buybacks, so now I just throw 'em in the car, and lay 'em on any friend who might be interested. When stopping by there last week, I gave Mark the new Gaslight Anthem. He really likes it, so that's better to me than the 2 or 4 buck's I'm gonna get for it where I just paid 10 bucks 2 hours earlier.

If you really meant that, you'd have the latest Posies in your house, at least. Oh, I know...... you've been meaning to.

Well, it's still too close to Valentine's Day for that "I'm trying" crap to cut it. Really! How could you!

I like passing stuff on to other people for that very reason, but I seem to have trouble giving away music.

And remember, no matter how hard you work at it, people will still say that 'I'm trying' before they say that to you. Over and over and over.

It's not "music" if it's not being spun. It's just a piece of plastic. Like my conscience.

It's a close second, John. Very close.


Okay, I readily admit, I formed an opinion about that album from looking at the cover that was entirely incongruent with the musical content.

I suppose I could always goodwill them. I'm making a pile of other items to take there already, so I should see what I can pare out of my music collection. If they were multichannel discs, I'd offer them here. Putting normal CDs up for grabs here seems a little inadequate.

Really, Charles. You never know that what you may eagerly jettison, could be just what someone else is looking for. Unless you still have 3 copies of Rumors.

Charles, our greed for free stuff knows no inadequacies.
