Bargain Time II: Electric Boogaloo

I picked up the "60 Miles An Hour Tour EP" at Borders last Sunday for a mere $8.99 U.S. - not bad for an Australian import. I was surprised that they had it at all, and more surprised that their Web site lists it for $12.99. Perhaps the version without the Supermen Lovers remix is four dollars more.

I'm not sure what this says about the whole file sharing controversy, but I bought it anyway, despite the fact that I had downloaded and heard the Supermen Lovers mix. I like to think that Barney can use the royalites to buy a new guitar pick, and it's always cool to have another Saville cover in your home.

Also - seriously now - they had stacks of Geri Halliwell's biography for $5.99. Is it possible to get six bucks worth of enjoyment out of this thing? I was tempted, if only (1) to relive my days in London with "Scream If..." on the hotel telly and (2) to note any parallels in our music careers.

Also on sale: 12-packs of Miller Lite :\puke: bottles were on sale at Reserve Square for $8.29...so expect quite a few typos over the next few hours.

...had i known it was difficult for you to find, i'd have offered to scoop one up for you from the Virgin Megastore here in Chicago. was $7.99 there...so with postage, would probably end up being the same as you paid at Borders. :\ohwell: though had you not been able to find it at all, i s'pose that wouldn't have been an issue.

last time i was at the Tower in Bloomingdale, they had this big bin of clearanced import CDs. including SEVERAL copies of Mme. Halliwell's rendition of "It's Raining Men." for (IIRC) $2 apiece.

if you wanted one, it could be arranged. to go along with that bio and all. though i do fear you'd need a LOT more of the beer if you were going to attempt that...

just, er, trying to be neighbourly.
