Yes, only love can break your heart.
Mood:  sharp
Now Playing: Four Left-Feet - Ditty Bops
Topic: Saint Etienne
The Half-Price Bookstore is great for so many reasons. It's not just the people, like the twenty-something guy with hair that looks similar to how mine did in 9th grade (long, burgundy). It's not just the low, low prices. It's not just the atmosphere.
It's not the fact that while it clearly says, "Bookstore" in the name, it also sells a lot of periodicals, calenders, videos, and CDs.
It's that if you wait long enough, you can be sure that someone will bring in the CD you've been waiting for all of your young life, and that another person (possibly the guy with long, burgundy hair) will slap a little yellow price sticker on it and shove it in with the rest of the CDs for you to find.

Because of this, I go to the Half-Price Bookstore often, and browse the music section. I haven't found the love of my life yet, but hopespringseternalinthehumanbreast and so on. I've still managed to find some pretty hot material.

For instance, not long ago I came across Saint Etienne's first album, Foxbase Alpha. I could talk for hours about great it is, and how much I love Sarah Cracknell's voice, and how much I wish I was a member of Saint Etienne, but for brevity's sake, I'll just give you the link to their succulent cover of Neil Young's Only Love Can Break Your Heart, and go to bed.
