I'm glad you started this thread, Brittney. I will now be posting in it at least one or two times a week.

Here's what I bought this week so far:

Cat Power - Dear Sir LP
Cat Power - Moon Pix LP
Cat Power - The Greatest LP
Cat Power - Jukebox 2xLP
My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything LP
Neurosis - Given to the Rising 2xLP
the White Stripes - S/T LP
the White Stripes - De Stijl LP
the White Stripes - White Blood Cells LP

I got most of those for $2 each. It's nice knowing people.

how can i get in on this excellent deal?

i am stoked because my new art of the underground 7"s came today!

1. Pick a record store you like a lot.
2. Hang out there until all the employees know you.
3. Let the magic happen.

Do you shop at Easy Street?

Almost exclusively. I will shop at Singles Going Steady occasionally when I need to, and Zion's Gate maybe once or twice a year for specialty stuff.

Next time I'm going with you, handing you my stack, and giving you the cash.

I'm not buying any Counting Crows records for you, lady.

You don't have to, I own all the ones I care to

Random anecdote: Today when I was in there, there was a girl flipping through the "new arrivals" next to me. She came across a Doors record and said, "I've heard really good things about them." She said it like they were some up-and-coming indie band, it made me want to laugh.

Oh man, that's funny!

I get asked if I work there all the time. I finally gave up and I just show people whatever they're looking for, or tell them about the record they're asking me about.

Good news: Bob told me they're going to be doing vinyl stamp cards soon!

bunnypuncher · « **Reply #10 on:** April 03, 2009, 12:37:22 AM »

Another thing I just noticed: I was looking at my purchase list for this year (I'm OCD, I keep lists of everything), and I've already purchased a hundred records this year.

Yay! The lady at the register today was very nice and let me finish off my existing CD stamp card with my vinyl, but vinyl stamp cards will definitely help retain my loyalty.

good mother of god man.

I'm somewhere around the 30 point. some of those are 7"s but there's an LP or three thrown in. The rest are used CDs from Buzzard's and Amazon.

I got cute lepers/the bite split from spain in the mail today. I was pretty giddy about it..

Dan Halen · « **Reply #14 on:** April 04, 2009, 10:52:00 AM »

I know I'm in here kinda late, but I listened to Ten redux couple days ago and it really fucking kicked ass. The new mix sounds so much more raw and energetic. I have no idea how much it cost cause i'm never gonna buy it, but take a listen to it sometime.

The funniest part is I've hardly spent any money on them. I've "purchased" them almost entirely on trade-in credit from CDs.

I used to have almost 2000 CDs, but starting last summer I started trading them in for vinyl. I'm down to just under 1500 CDs now.

bunnypuncher · « **Reply #16 on:** April 04, 2009, 06:58:11 PM »

There was a .99 record sale at Easy Street today (and tomorrow). I couldn't find anything in their bins (too much Neil Diamond and Jethro Tull), but I did pick up the following:

the Cute Lepers - Can't Stand Modern Music LP (white)
Drive Like Jehu - S/T LP
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - S/T 12"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero 7"

Thunderbird · « **Reply #17 on:** April 04, 2009, 07:17:07 PM »

That's a lot of CDs. I have a big box full, but I think I'm shy of 300. I still can't choose what to listen to in a reasonable amount of time... I don't know what I would do with 1500.

Oh, it was flat-out retarded when I used to drive. I would stand there in front of my giant CD shelf for a good 15 minutes most days trying to pick out a few CDs to bring with. The console in my car held 8 CDs perfectly, so if it was a trip that was going to be longer than 15 minutes, I would try to bring 8 CDs with a good range of music, so I would have something for whatever mood I ended up being in.

Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap LP
Black Eyes - Cough LP

I figured out why Easy Street's LP pickings are slim every time I go in. It's because you've already BOUGHT EVERYTHING.

You really do have to go multiple times a week to get the good stuff in the used bins. Especially after the staff have already picked through it before they put it on the floor...

Everything I "bought" today was new, though. I traded in a bunch of CDs again, so I had some credit to burn.

Some really great stuff in there (Pretenders, Petty, Costello, Young, hell even Police)!
I can't remember if I asked, do you mostly shop at Easy Street too?

brittneybush · « **Reply #24 on:** April 06, 2009, 09:50:03 PM »

I do, though today I hit Jive Time and the Fremont Vintage Mall. But I consider Easy Street "my" record store.
