The good finds continue...

So this is kind of a continuation of the last 2 posts, the Iron Maiden ones..

So anyway, as I said, I had taken some stuff in to my local record store and found the Iron Maiden clear 10 inch I reviewed below.

"Sweet!" I thought to myself, if I get any credit, I'll definitely grab this. Then I headed over to the NOFX section and was amazed to find their 2000 album "Pump up the Valuum". This thing is so out of print it's ridiculous.

So now I had a dilemma, If I only got enough credit for one, which one would it be?

While thinking it over, I walked past Joan Jett's "Album" pictured on the bottom left. Oh man, my stepdaughter would flip over this one, now what the hell am I gonna do?

Being a glutton for punishment, I flipped to the "I" section, only to find the Iron Maiden album "Piece of Mind" the one I've been looking for for so long. "AAARRGGHHH!!!!!" This was so much worse than not being able to find anything, I was sure I'd never get enough credit for all of them, crap! crap! crap!

So, I had to decide. I figured I'd go for the NOFX, then the Maiden 10 inch, and figure it out from there depending on the credit situation. So I walked up to the desk and was surprised to find that I had earned over 50 bucks in credit! I could afford everything and still have money left over! I felt a great wave of relief flow over me, and then I realized I was a huge loser for getting so excited about records.

But for a while there, it was a beautiful moment. So the NOFX album is pretty good, I've only heard it once so far, pretty standard NOFX, I actually like their new one a lot better, I'll probably review that one soon..

And Joan Jett, well, what else can you say about Joan? She's always pretty solid and this disc doesn't dissapoint. It doesn't contain any of her huge hits, but it does have what is in my mind, one of the greatest album covers ever. I mean, look at that thing, it's a classic! It pretty much defines rock 'n' roll for me, simple, but effective.

So, all in all, a pretty decent record finding day. Even though some stuff was going on to make it a crappy day otherwise, a good find can seemingly always bring a smile to your face. So if stuff sucks for you, just quit your whining and go buy some records! And if that doesn't work, you should probably just shoot yourself.

Actually no, don't do that, maybe just eat some candy or something.
