I'm a jerk. I try to support the local independent store just around the block from where I work. But no... yesterday I just couldn't wait one more day so I strayed and bought my copies at another store several blocks away (still an independent local store, though). Today the owner of the first store (the one I try to support the most) sees me and asks if I want him to hold a copy of RR for me when it comes in on vinyl tomorrow. He knows I like SY and he knows I like vinyl. God, how embarrassing. What could I say? I felt so sleazy. In fact, I felt so guilty about my betrayal, I went over and picked out a $17 copy of The Marble Index on vinyl and bought it.
Why can't I be true?
