Heck, my CD purchases just jumped 300% in one weekend. I love it when
overpriced music retail chains go out of business.

If you haven't already, go check out Turtles Music&DVD on Capital Blvd
(Raleigh). Everything's at 70% off. Nothing's sorted well, so take an
hour or two and start browsing. (Hey, $5 or less per CD is the perfect
price range!)
