It felt a little bit like Christmas at work today, but not because of the customers (although it was pretty darn busy). Oh no, it had more to do with everyone else in the store.
The old in-store plays are periodically left on the break-room table after they have expired (gone off sale), and whoever so desires can take one. After they have sat for a week or so, there is always a sign that says "take another one." When nobody takes them after that, they get thrown away. Now, knowing our music manager the way I do, I am well aware of the fact that he hates to throw away music. Being the good employee that I am, I never want the manager to suffer through something that he hates, so I step forward, and offer to take some of it off his hands, so it doesn't have to be disposed of. Today's haul included:
1) Deerhunter's Halcyon Digest
2) Black Dub's selftitled release
3) Sarah Jaffe's Suburban Nature
4) Ray Charles' Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters
Not a bad haul, if I don't say so myself. The only one that I remember as an absolute slam dunk is the Ray Charles, but still... I did my part to give music a good home, and keep it out of the trashbins.
Had but a few minutes to work on the whole hard rock thing today. Did pick up the electric, though, and have a little fun. Had a good conversation with my brother very, very early this morning about all of that stuff. Was just what I needed at that point. Hopefully tomorrow and Monday will yeild big returns in that area.
