Digging Roger's radness about John Cougar, Nico and the White Stripes. New Jack White installment of garage/melotron/Ali Khan imitations-- and without any choruses, amazing. Last week the Keene store ran across an autographed copy of Weezer's debut album, and although it was tempting to send it over to Brattleboro where indie-pop MC Josh Steele resides, we turned it over to a loyal customer instead. Bigger news along these fronts is met with, yes, brand new vinyl located in the TIU shops. If you get a chance, browse through the selection of Bright Eyes, Devandra, and Postal Service lps in the New Arrival area, it's worth the time. Also, there's never a shortage of unusual phenomenon existing in the DVD section of the Brattleboro store. $5 movies are still 6 for $20 and this includes tiny gems like the Asian psycho-thriller, 3 Extremes and various copies of The Descent (the spring break theme got old so they decided cave diving would be better suspense?). Just noticed Keene has one lone copy of City Of Lost Children-- a more twisted, imaginary tale that most people are only now noticing in the reception of Pan's Labyrinth. And lastly, Games. I've only been devoted to one video game throughout this life (Goldeneye/N64) but Keene's vast row of used X-Box and Playstation 2 games does make me wonder why I still look for pin-ball machines on my spare time. Not only do we sell this visual food, we also buy them! Happy birthday, George Orwell.
