OK, so Starbucks is ONLY carrying the disc in certain cities but you can get their New Wave comp anywhere. That means the fan frothing at the mouth for a copy of this disc orders it on Starbucks.com if he's not in one of the ahem "select" cities.
Problem: Starbucks only had enough copies manufactured to distribute to their certain, exclusive, special stores! If you order it online you're waiting for the next batch and you'll get a message that screams "Back Ordered!" They shipped all they had to Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, DC etc. etc.
I called them and asked WTF since the goddamn disc came out Tuesday and I ordered it on Tuesday morning! This is the story the guy gave me.
OK OK carry a new Sonic Youth disc and limit it's distribution after it's been chattered about for a year! DUH!
