I'm fortunate enough to be in San Francisco right now so I went to Amoeba earlier today and the place was just bustling. Surprisingly though the lines went really quickly and the staff was super helpful with finding stuff. I was a little disappointed in the metal section though, not nearly as much stuff as I thought there would be, but their hip-hop section more than made up for it. Here's what I got:
Sweatshop Union - Water Street (2008)
Delerium - Karma (1997)
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow (2002)
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness (2001)
CunninLynguists - A Piece of Strange (2006)
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991)
The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace (1986)
I also had a few in the hand but I ended up putting them back just because I didn't want to spend too much money. Those 7 CD's were $61 so I didn't do very bad. I immediately snatched up A Piece of Strange though because of how rare it is to find that album in CD format, most places online are trying to sell it for over $100 so to get it for $14.99 was awesome. All in all I'm very happy with my turn out this year, I think next year I'll have to return and go at it again.
