M. Ward at a packed to the brim Iron Horse in Northampton Friday night gets my nod.

Great, great show. Ten bucks usually gets me a surcharge, a handling fee, and little else.

(Anybody seen Neva Dinova? Thoughts?)

j blount definitely wins, but i ordered a copy of New Age Steppers' "Massive Hits, Vol 1" from half.com for 7 bucks, shipping included.

Best Buy had the new Mars Volta for only $7. I'm sure just about everybody here hates them, but I love the album, and for only $7, even more.

Opal - Early Recordings for $5 this weekend. I'm happy to have it but I might have to part with it if someone would really pay the $100-130 prices that are being listed on Amazon!

― ianinportland (ianinportland), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:19 (twenty years ago)

you won't get that for it. the LP version is relatively worthless, the cd you may get $40-50 on a good day.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

keep it. the music within is priceless.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but the music within can always be burned to a CD-R...
