Independence Day Sale!

Oh my. Oh my, oh my. Check this out: I got a text from Josey records yesterday saying that they were having the biggest sale ever starting today and through the weekend. 25% off all merch, 20% off all new CDs and vinyl, 20% off all used vinyl and CDs, 50% off all DVDs. Now them are some impressive numbers. Right. But reading that in a text, you can easily miss something or mistake one of them numbers for something else. Whatever. Anyway, the point is that I didn’t know it was 20% off all new vinyl. I had I guess just skimmed the message. So I saved like $35 on my new vinyl.

I’ve been wanting this Harrison record for quite some time. And the killer is that I saw it in the NA bin once before, but for some reason didn’t grab it. It was there again today, so I did. Woot. Of course, I got the John Mayer from the New Vinyl and the Lindas from the used section. I spent a good amount of time today checking the bins for stuff like this. I also bought a handful of Norah Jones, Seal and Sheryl Crow CDs. And, my buddy Dwayne met me there today. Well, I met him there, ostensibly to show him around since it was his first time. And I just can’t leave without keep reading
