Those fuckers don't rest on a price.
DDN Deluxe, for example, was priced at £15 (four copies of) when I saw it in there first. Literally less than two weeks later when I could resist it no longer I went back in there and found just two copies remaining and a new price of £22! I didn't buy it. I kicked a few cds off the shelf nearby and stormed off in a huff.
Today, after I had raved to a friend that he should go and get the Thurston album because they miraculously stock it in HMV, and because it carried a price of £9.95, we discovered together that not only had a coupla copies been sold but now . . yes, . . lo and behold . . . the price was up to £13!
I don't know how much of this goes on exactly but it makes me feel a tad uneasy. My mate bought trees but i could detect that it was tinged with a little regret and disappointment for him . . . when it should have been a very nice moment.
HMV just pisses me off man! Does it you?
