I am often amazed by the CDs I see at used stores.  Inevitably I already have them because folks give classics away.  Though, if it's not your cup of tea, it's not your cup of tea.

I bought it for a dollar, and now I can't get rid of it. Figure I'll make a profit on it if I can find a buyer. One good song; the rest was just unlistenable and tuneless.

Oh Rhett, we may both love Pernice Bros, but I think we have some great divergences as well.  Certainly every song is not great, but there are at least 4 or 5 that I think are fabulous:  "Bottle of Fur," "Sister Havana," "Positive Bleeding," "Erika Cane" and I'm sure one or two others I can't think of.  But, it's true, the songs I don't like I don't like much at all.

Perhaps I should give it more than the once over. Only one song was catchy the first time through. I'm just getting very picky, since I already have so much GREAT music. If something is merely GOOD, it seems more and more pointless to bother with. Perhaps I am becoming Mankie.

Nope, I'm with you on that.  I find I'm much less likely to *try* to like an album or band.  Good example, Grandaddy.  They have that one song out now as a single that I think is awful.  But hey, I don't *need* to like Grandaddy, so it's okay.
 
 I also find I give up on books more easily as well, with my free time harder to come by these days.

I still haven't found The Tyde.  I need to just order in online, don't I?
 
 Mark, that album looks awesome -- I assume it is??

I wouldn't think so.  I found a used copy this weekend at CD Cellar.
 
 Have you tried Olssonns?

Twice is $15 at DCCD. Or there is Amazon. Personally I would wait and buy it at the show ($10 and the band probably make more of the cash).
 
 Once is trickier, only Amazon and ebay. It wasnt for sale at the show.
 
 I could supply copies of both for you to listen to before their show with nada surf.
 
 Teenage fanclub and jad fair.... well its an odd juxtaposition. I havent listened enough to it to pass a final judgement. Its not a real instant hit. But that is possibly a good thing.
 
 The other thing I listened to this morning is:

 I was surprised to like one of Bob Pollards Big Picks. I might even go to the show now. Very summery Beatles songbook with too much brass.

I can see dimples from here  :)  
 
 Ok I will add that to list of Mp3s I must bring you. Anything else you want? I think I will give you the high strung and plenty of BJM and Mull historical Society and the only ones.

Not fair, I have to miss the show and you are going to go, the opener is great too, but I doubt you will care for him much.
