...than Record Store Day?
My hat is off to HMV on their recent sales pricing. They've priced most of their CD's at $5, $10 or $15, but somehow done it so that none of the CD's I want to buy are in that $5 category.
It's not that they've just set all the really bad music to the lowest price - any amateur can do that. I developed immunity to the bargain bin of cheep crap as a teenager. But HMV are more clever: they've also lowered the prices on the very finest albums that I also don't want to buy, in this case because I already own them. Occasionally seeing great music at ridiculous prices just keeps me coming back again and again. I'm stuck naively rechecking their shelves every time I'm in a mall, only to walk away disappointed like the hipster Charlie Brown that I am.
