I've had the song "My Brave Face" by Paul McCartney stuck in my head for the last week, so I wanted to track down the album it came from, "Flowers in the Dirt."
Of course, iTunes doesn't carry anything from The Beatles or the individual Beatles, so that route was out. I then checked my trusted used-record source, The Princeton Record Exchange. No luck.
(A lyrical digression: "Drove downtown in the rain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night, just to check out the late night record shop." I digress.)
I was further unsuccessful at Borders, Best Buy, and Barnes and Noble. How is that bloody possible. This is Paul McCartney we're talking about!
Since there aren't many used record shop floating about here anymore, I on a whim went to the FYE in Quarkerbridge Mall.
It was too easy....it was the first CD that I picked up, and it was even a used copy. It even rang up cheaper than the sticker said.
I hope I haven't used up all my good luck this week just by finding a used copy of this CD. That would be a drag. I also can't get over that I found an apparently obscure (Paul McCartney obscure??) record at a mall.
A moment of nostalgia: when I was at UF, there were at least four or five used record shops within walking distance of one another. I remember making the rounds.
