I worked at a Borders Books & Music during the Christmas season once or twice...it was awful. One night I threw up while ringing someone up and had to run to the back without finishing the transaction. I think it was from the chinese food at the food court.
Even worse than the xmas season is the post xmas season when everyone comes to return the gifts that they didn't want. very depressing.

no kidding. the douchiness of your typical consumer never fails to astonish me. that, and the never ending repetition of shitty xmas music.

Thanks for the "Head's Up" for SUPER HITS OF THE 70'S, VOL II. I'll start saving spare change for the Fun(d) Drive. -- I regret not getting Vol. I: I really liked hearing the cover of Joe Jackson's "It's Different for Girls."

Michael: Charles Brown sounds more bluesy than ska-ish to me.

Ska-ish. I've heard that theory. I think the term they used was maybe phase shift.
