i hate myself and i want to die.

I've done something really horrible.

I've...oh jesus...I've been buying records at Wal-Mart. I'm sorry but HEAR ME OUT, OKAY? I hate going there. But they're the only place in town that carries any J-Pop. At all. And they're really cheap. I'm talking $8-$12, as opposed to $15-$25 anywhere else, and no shipping.

I know it's bad. I know. I know I'll pay for it in the end.

I'm not sorry. Just kind of appalled.

Good haul. I don't even have the Goovers yet. If you ever find the first Japan for Sale, get me a copy 'cause that thing is nowhere.

Yeah, Best Buy here has a massive Music en Espanol section. I cry at their World Music section...the most "international" thing they sell is Twelve Girls Band. *sob*

Actually, the place with the best selection of World Music, other than Amazon, is Borders. Which is really great except their CDs start at $16.98. Unless I have a coupon, I never buy there. I just scan the shelves for ideas and order with Amazon.

Amazon doesn't even list the first Japan For Sale, and I've never seen a copy. The only place I know that ever carried it was Wizzywig (they were planning a release party one year when we were there). Maybe the Tofu Records web site has it. Hell, maybe Wizzywig still does...

I suppose I could look at B&N's record department, but yeah, that whole price thing. Which makes me a giant weenie-ass, since the actual import titles go for, what, $40?

Curse you, typesetters!

I'm full of shit. "Goover" is the name of the album, by High and Mighty Color. Well worth having.

And Japan for Sale comes from Sony; it was the first J-Pop CD that had a release party at Wizzywig. Probably.
