Yesterday I found out a band I like is playing in Kingston soon. So I decided to go out and get their CD I had heard while living on my own and liked a lot. But in the process of doing this, I realized that nobody, and I mean NOBODY in Kingston seems to have a copy of it! Now mind you, they aren't a huge mainstream artist that everyone's heard of, but its not like their fiddle players from the badlands of Saudi Arabia either! C'mon people! I have money, money that I would be spending in your esteemed establishments if only you would carry the stuff I want! I hate these "We can order it for you if you like, it will only take 4 - 6 weeks" 4 to 6 WEEKS!? What, does the band have to go BACK to the recording studio to re-record the album for every CD that gets 'specialty ordered'??! I think not, its lunacy!
So, to console myself and my despise for most of the CD's stores in Kingston, I went out and bought the LAST REMAINING copy of the Amelie soundtrack. Which is very good, and helped my mood considerably, but I'm still shocked and appalled at the just darn shoddy CD places around here.
Thus ends my rant.
