A little different, but interesting.

I kind of want a Depression, so Obama will go out.

[silverleaf]

heck no

Remember Obummer campaigning that George Bush reacted to 911 by “telling people to go shopping?”

screw obummer and “his” economy- save your cash, you’re going to need it

If I only had a piece of that bail-out, I’d really go shopping.

Amazon is running a sort of deal lottery. You vote on what you want, and you’ll get a chance to get it at over 50% off.

I most likely will be shopping for survival supplies like food staples, cooking equpment and fuel, weapons, generators, communications equipment. My loved ones can expect such gifts from me also. It won’t be the first time I’ve given such gifts but I am feeling a new urgency to be prepared to get along without significant help from others.

A tad off your subject here but I don't have any spending money so I decided to make this gift for a friend. She loves to use cinnamon sugar on her oatmeal and toast and complains about how the little shakers of it she buys in the spice aisle are so weak tasting. So I hatched this idea of making her a whole big fruit jar of extra cinnamony cinnamon sugar and include a little scoop. I already have a huge container of pure cinnamon and a big sack of sugar and the nice jar and top and a cute little scoop so this won't cost me anything and I think she will like it.

Until local homeowners once again start remodeling their homes, adding sunrooms, building decks etc, there will be no black friday (or any Christmas) shopping for me.

I do think a 'hard candy' Christmas will be good for the soul. :) Hubby and I hope to give each other a mortage payment for Christmas this year! lol

Anyway, what I want for Christmas can't be found in any store or online... they are all together sitting in front of the TV watching 'Dirty Jobs' right now! :)

[Star Traveler]

I stood in line all night for a laptop for a family member last Thanksgiving... :-)

Not this year... LOL

“Let’s boost the economy.

LET’S GO SHOPPING!!”

Cindy,

Shopping will boost the economy only if the products are American-made. If they are made in China, shopping will merely enrich a hostile country at the expense of American workers.

I plan to sit out Black Friday, and pay my usual post-Christmas visit to the mall, when the retailers will have to knock 50% or more off the Chinese-made trash they imported to clear shelf space for the next batch of Chinese-made trash.

On the other hand, if it’s made in America by American workers, I agree: buy it.

I was going to buy an HDTV last week for my father, but then they raised the price overnight by $200. I have this sneaking suspicion that the price is going to come down again on Friday by $200 just so they can advertise it as $200 off.

Rock and Roll Records PING!

Vinyl is back and so is rock and roll.

Here are some online sales this week:

http://www.sundazed.com/

Sundazed Records releases excellent remastered vinyl and CD recordings of older acts (mostly 1950s and 1960s).

They have a 10% off sale right now (online address above) through November 30th.

While the discount may not be deep, there are some interesting releases (from rare Byrds' releases (including unreleased concerts, unreleased singles, alternate takes) to a 4-CD boxed set on the Trashmen to some limited releases (like this 1,000 edition vinyl of Link Wray's unreleased first album).

Vinyl may seem expensive to those who haven't bought records in quite awhile but it is higher quality than you've probably seen in the past (weight on these releases is typically 180-220grams) and petroleum prices have been up as well.

And while some companies' reissues don't sound so good, Sundazed strives to sound even better (with superior vinyl) and in the case of the 13th Elevators' Pyschedelic Sounds of (mono version) they've located some rare source tapes.

Yep Roc

Yep Roc deals with more contemporary releases of older and newer artists. Their current online sale appears to be focused on some $10 Christmas CDs.

ALSO note:

The Yep Roc Web Shop features Digital Now! Buy a CD or LP and get the digital album free!

Buy a current release from the Yep Roc Web Shop and the digital album appears in your Stash for instant download! You can listen to the MP3s while your CD or LP is on its way. And if you pre-order a CD or LP before release date, the digital album will appear in your Stash on release date!

And as always, digital music from the Yep Roc Web Shop is delivered to your Stash in MP3 format, with no pesky digital rights management (DRM) copyright protection. That means it will play on almost every computer and digital music player, including iPods!

Norton Records

No special sale but everything for sale is special (how 'bout that?).

Some rundown of the new "old" sound NORTON NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER including newly released albums of recordings by Johnny Burnette and Charlie Feathers plus their own ongoing series of new Christmas singles.

There is also a virtual "boxed set" of singles they've released now available through itunes (with a downloadable booklet if your order the whole thing).

I STILL HATE CDs Coming this fall, 45 more singles from the vaults of Norton Records. This release, like the first set, is download only and is available from all download outlets – no Goodwill or yard sale action this time, sorry. But it is cheap and easy to grab these babies. By the way, there were some comments that folks wished we provided cover art and notes. If you pick up volume one from iTunes, it comes with a detailed booklet!

Robert Plant digs the records at Norton and you should too.

Hopefully this helps some people with their gift buying (or making their own lists). All records from these companies are new (no used records/CDs).

I went nuts this summer buying vinyl at garage sales. I always bought entire lots and ended up with hundreds of albums for pennies per LP. I got a lot of lawrence welk, but I got a lot more good stuff. This includes my very favorite Christmas album by the Ventures!

And six or seven of the LP’s had never been opened...

I would like to warn people about shopping on line..we don't do it..but 2 of our credit cards were hijacked this month to the tune of about 5 grand. We are not being charged because our credit card company is very shrewd and flagged these charges and our cards and id etc was protected. We have reported this to the local pd Internet fraud dept and I also called the company whose merchandise was stolen or tried to be stolen. The company in question has a good system and tracked the IP addresses back to Ghana Africa. The fraud is coming from all over Africa, South America and the UK. So folks be very careful and be sure to check your receipts against your bill, I have called all our other card companies and are ok and have asked them to call if we get any odd looking charges.

Not until I find another job.
