What I saw today at the record store (it was sad).

Somebody had filed all of the Barenaked Ladies cds in the Bark Psychosis section. It was probably an honest mistake, since their sections are adjacent to each other. Still, that didn't soften the blow. Like I said, it was sad.

:(

philistines!

the saddest/funniest error I saw at a record store was a copy of Prefab Sprout's Steve Mcqueen album filed under the artist name "Mcqueen, Steve". the store also had a proper Prefab Sprout section (with a copy of Two Wheels Good), but it was spelled "Prefap Sprout on the handwritten sign.

its sad they were alphabetized

Today I saw a record store (it was sad).

what did a vegan ILXor eat before going out?
pre-FAP sprouts.

what do you call the son of joseph and mary?

pre-FAP sprout

[redacted joke]

don't redact em folks!

Why did Steve Mcqueen cross the road?

to buy the album Steve Mcqueen by Prefap Sprout (Prefab Sprout)

Unless it was a Canadian business, I don't see why any record store would be stocking BNL anymore.

i thought this was a bump of a 10 year old thread

it is not

(it was sad)

for that matter how many stores have bark psychosis sections?

x-post

i can imagine stores with both bnl and bark psychosis sections, it's having both that sounds one-of-a-kind to me.

tbr i could imagine this happening at our local chain of used cd stores.

newbury comics prob has both those sections!

That's where I saw this!

that's where I bought Hex! but it was an uncool suburban Newbury Comics, so Bark Psychosis didn't even get it's own section (it was sad).

i went to an awesome newbury in the sticks last year that had tons of used vinyl. they even let me look at boxes of vinyl in the back room!! i couldn't believe it. i spent hours there and the last time i spent serious time at a newbury was at the OG store in like 1983.

here is exactly what i bought in a used vinyl section of a newbury comics in massachusetts in 2012. i'm still pinching myself. the one in northampton here has, like, 10 used records and a dusty 80's zz top record will set you back 15 bucks. behold:

oh jesus h christ

i mean, that's awesome and if i ever get to massachusetts...

Mother, Jugs & Speed!

yeah that's weird, I've never seen any used vinyl at a newbury comics around here

there is only one that does it!

and of course you found it

a guy who comes into my store told me about it. it was good timing on my part. they had gotten in, like, 20 or 30 boxes of unopened rounder records distro stock from the 80's. that's why the manager let me look in back cuz there were 10 boxes that hadn't been put out yet. he offered too, i didn't say a thing. he was very nice. but i was so surprised by how much vinyl they had. the whole back of a huge store devoted to it. a huuuuuuuge ikea-like wall of cheap stuff. tons of dollar stuff. and big rock and r&b and jazz section. gotta go there again soon.
