Take Me Back Tuesday (on a Wednesday)

I forgot to do Take Me Back Tuesday yesterday! Oops! That shall be remedied immediately.

What is your favorite record/CD shop? Is it still in existence?

I have two favorites - one still around and one not. The existing one is CD World in West Eugene. Perhaps they should change their name, because now they sell DVDs and Vinyl too. I find their selection and service to be very good, and they have frequent sales!

The record shop no longer around was Face The Music, near the University of Oregon campus. Their selection was smaller, but I could usually find what I needed. If I couldn't, they would special order it for me! Half their stock was used CDs, and their used selection was much better than CD World's. I really miss that - I could have bought so many albums for half price!

Do you still buy most of your CDs in stores or do you purchase music online?

I still buy CDs, and I will for a long while. I like having a physical copy of my music. If something is deleted from your computer, it's gone!

What music store do you consider the world's best kept secret. (Meaning you can find anything there)?

I don't buy music from too many stores, so for now I suppose my best kept secret is CD World. I hope they're not a secret for long, because I want them to stay in business.

What was one "hidden treasure" you found while shopping for music?

I was shopping for a gift for a friend when I found "Her Infinite Variety," a compilation of Celtic music done by women. I bought that for my friend because I thought she'd enjoy it. Months later, I saw it again during a sale and bought it for myself. I'm glad I did, because it's very good!
