Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hilarious..From an ex purchase snearing, attitude coping, former indie AND corporate record store employee from way back in the day, this message is one I must share with my old coworkers, as although not a Wilco fan among them, they will love the sentiment all the same.I'm sure many of you can very much relate as well... Thanks for posting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Christ. Is it possible to put out the fuckin' record without throwing on downloads, secret tracks, decoder rings? How about this: save the extra tracks and maybe put out an album every 1.5 years as opposed to the current 3-year wait? And, yeah, I used to shop at My Generation, paid the higher price and endured the rudeness. I guess is made me feel somehow superior to the big box shoppers. Then it closed, and I got the Johnny Cash Unearthed set for 70% off. Now that's a happy ending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bhickman Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 well that's a little annoying...I spent $24 on the cd/dvd package as it is now there's also a way to get a bonus two-track EP? I thought the message was funny, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 funny in a coming soon to a torrent site near you kind of way? It's interesting to me that now buying the CDs isn't enough, but you have to buy them at the right place as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's interesting to me that now buying the CDs isn't enough, but you have to buy them at the right place as well. That's because anyone who owns, works at or even shops at a mom and pop is a good person - probably a democrat who opposes the war, is favor of a woman's right to choose, and generally has the right opinion on issues...while anyone who shops, works, or is any way associated with a chain store is most likely related to Dick Cheney, enjoys the comedy of Dice Clay, and clubs baby seals in their free time.

I know, I was being sarcasmic. I'm sure there are plenty of good people toiling away at Best Buy, fye, etc., just like there are plenty of good people working at mom and pop shops.

Hmmph... I shop at a large retail outlet because of several plain and simple facts: I am the father of two teenagers. I already word 60 hours a week. Buying a cd from Best Buy who views it as a loss leader saves me money. Plus...I am not overly fond of baby seals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

m_to_the_c Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I bought my copy at a small indie retailer in Philly that is so cool it didn't even carry the bonus disc. Take that!(and they also wear out The F'ng Champs record, which puts Shake It Off's noodling to shame) erm, of course, it is on the radar enough that it does get decent distribution.

Jesusetc84 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 "I'm liberal to a degree,but I want everyone to be like me." Hey, a good seal clubbing is beautiful...in moderation. It's funnier if you put an elephant mask on them before you do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
