Tegan & Sara? I envy you.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Damn my brother! Damn him! t shakes tiny fist
I'm leaving tomorrow morning to go to Vermont for his wedding. He called me just now and asked me if I could go to the indie record store around the corner from me (Shake It Records), to pick up a reissue of a local band's CD. I said sure. Then I looked at their website, particularly their page of Shake It exclusives.
I want EVERYTHING on that page! Particularly the Dresden Dolls and Death Cab CDs. And the Jamie Cullum CD. And possibly System of a Down. I'm going to end up spending about a billion dollars there.

Shake It exclusives.
Why do they call them "exclusives"? Some of those are pretty widely available.

I know, right? Perhaps they mean that, of Cincinnati's music stores, only Shake It has them. That's all I can figure.

I think I need this . . . I wonder if Record Rev has it?

True but the prices at the site Steph linked to are pretty good. I just ordered a relatively hard to find Eddie Vedder CD, The Molo Sessions (it's just him and a South African choir, what I've heard is beautiful) and an Iron and Wine EP that are at least a few bucks cheaper than what I've seen elsewhere.
I have taken to ordering everything music-wise that I can't download. I don't mean to offend other Chicago-istas but I have yet to find a music store here that matches what I had access to in Lawrence. (Yes, I have been to both Recklesses - eh, OK but not as great as what I'd heard and they are a ways from my apt).
Speaking of ordering - yesterday I ordered the new CD from the buzziest band to ever have buzz: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. I read about them last week on MSNBC's new music column "Independent Study" and then heard no less than three people bring them up over the weekend. You can download three of their songs at the first link. I ordered the CD right after hearing the first song. I hearby pass the buzz along.

From the Shake It site? Right on! (When I saw the Iron and Wine EP, I immediately thought of you, actually.)

Reckless is okay.
Have you been to Dr. Wax? (Are they still around?)
When I was in college I used to go to Vintage Vinyl in Evanston. . . you know when I was on summer break, because I didn't go to NU.

Yup there is one on Berwyn (or is Bryn Mawr?) and one on Sherman and Davis up in Evanston. I go to both more often than anyplace else because they are close. They both have kind of arbitrary classification systems, no customer info sources (reviews printed on place cards, employee rec boards, listening stations, magazines out, etc.) and there seems to be more used DVDs than anything else. The people who work there are helpful though.

It's fun. I looove going to vinyl stores - but just for looking since I don't buy vinyl.
I was spoiled in Lawrence.
I had Love Garden - where you scheduled two or three hours for browsing even if you had just been there the week before. And for a quick trip to get anything you had Kief's Downtown. They were across the street from each other practically and made for a very fun day of music shopping.

Tegan & Sara was much fun. It was a very young crowd. There were no lines at the bar but a huge line at the merch table. I felt like a grandma (and I'm 35). Still, T&S were great and adorable as usual with their cute androgynous looks and twins banter. The only song that they didn't play that I was really hoping for was I Won't Be Left. It's my fave off So Jealous.
We got the Beulah DVD yesterday and watched a bit of it last night. Musical bits are great but the in between stuff? NSM. Funny tidbit: I saw myself in the footage from their last show at the Troubadour.
