| Black Friday Record Store Day Haul Last year I went and stood in line at Music Millennium at five in the morning. A week later they still had stock on most titles. This year I didn’t go in until early afternoon, and there were still a lot of copies of all titles save one: the Chri... | |

| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. Good observation about the NYD’s, @edcyn (The Sex Pistols also sucked live). When I was living in NYC in 1982 I saw Jerry Nolan’s pink Ludwig drumset in a pawn shop. Guess he needed a quick fix. @larsman: Seeing The Beatles live was not about act... | |
