Post subject:  Used Record Store DO NOT BUY List
Laurie's Planet of Sound is a new and used record store on Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square, near the Davis Theater. As with most used record shops they take in records and CD's from the general public for cash or trade. Employees are usually literate enough in the resale value and relative scarcity or abundance of a given album to deem it worthy of purchase and for what pprice. But just in case, Laurie's has a DO NOT BUY list posted for store clerks, lest the store end up with 16 copied of Pocket Full of Kryptonite (no one needs to level that many coffee tables.) Anyhow, someone snapped a picture of the list and, yada x 3, it ended up on SPIN.com. What do you think-is this soulless hipster elitism or sound business practice?

It's pretty much spot on.

Kudos for adding:
Most 90's bands
&
60's/70's artist's cd's from 80's/90's/2000s (these are always bad)

They don't buy what doesn't sell.

What's up with the double negative? Might still confuse the clerks.

This is pretty much true for all genres too.

The Eagles are a good band. They certainly didn't deserve to be listed twice.

Right under 'Phantom Planet" the fragment "Almost All Soun..." is written in pen. I'm 99% sure that phrase ends with "dgarden."

I'm all over the place.

I will admit I own or owned music from 10 of the bands on that list though.

Wrong.

I'll say that the problem with this is, many many people have a shitload of Eagles CDs. I'm sure that list was informed by the store having a shitload of CDs by them sitting on the shelf. No idea if that's what DB was going for, but the point remains.

Your point is definitely right, but I was just saying wrong to the Eagles because they suck.

I had 5 on the list.

Post subject:  Re: Used Record Store DO NOT BUY List
My 10:
Veruca Salt
Sevendust
Seven Mary Three
Tripping Daisy
Collective Soul
Porno For Pyros
Soul Asylum
Stone Temple Pilots
P.O.D.

Actually it was 9 since I counted Perry Farrell and Porno For Pyros twice, but that's the same thing.

That's probably why they are listed twice. Once for the head and once for the heart.

The Eagles are good. I'm not sure why they have such a bad rap. I celebrate their entire collection.

When making out our personal lists from this list, we need to set some ground rules.

Let's just say there was a band from Chicago on this list that was fronted by two girls that got in a fight over Dave Grohl that ended up breaking up the band - if I own 4 CD's from them, does that count as 1 or 4?






:oops: :lol:

Nothing wrong with some Veruca Salt love. I'm not sure why they made that list. Everything else on there is understandable, but "American Thighs" was and is still a great album.

Now that we have that cleared up.....let's say hypothetically that one of those girls made a really, really crappy solo album that I may or may not still own to this day?

I can't even count all of my CD's from that list.

Crappy soundtracks, 90's albums, and obscure punk collections is too many to list.

ICP didn't make the list. This is a Juggalo friendly store!!
