I've got to wake up a little earlier, I'm sick of battling people for things. Especially vinyl, so many collectors out there. I always get there around the same time as this other guy and he shoots through everything like a machine. Luckily I got there a few minutes ahead of him. Someone got rid of some nice hardcore recs:

This isn't Roxbury honey

Yesterday I checked out the new Goodwill on Comm. Ave, and to say the least I was pretty disappointed. It certainly was the nicest looking thrift store I have ever seen, resembling some ritzy boutique. The music was geared for the college crowd, like the decor. It consists of mostly better used clothing, a lot more name brands, and everything organized meticulously except for the shitty electronics section. Music selection sucked, and there was only a handful of vinyl. The only reason I'd even think of going back would be to because it's next to an awesome used record store; In Your Ear.

The second I walk in today I'm greeted by Norman who says, "I'm glad you came in today, I have a couple of carts and I know I saw some war books in there." So out he brought them and I had the pickings all to myself. It was understood I'd put a box or two of books on the shelves for him in gratitude.
