Apartment/condo-hunting dies with business hours, so I stopped by the f.y.e in Woodfield Mall this evening to burn some time. I'd tried to do the same thing at the Schaumburg Best Buy yesterday night, but it didn't go well because I wasn't able to find what I was looking for. More specifically, I wasn't able to find a recommendation-engine-defying collection of albums like this:
- Talking Heads - Talking Heads: 77
- Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
- Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
- Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse (purchased with reservations about the band's history, but I figured I had to see what black metal sounds like sooner or later)
Unfortunately, the humorless man at the counter refused to acknowledge my deliberately baffling purchase with even a raised eyebrow. He also didn't seem amused when I pointed out that the Public Enemy CD had a plastic sleeve to keep kids from cracking it open and the Emperor CD did not.
Also, the brakes on my new used car may be failing. Or the transmission. I'm not sure which.
