Not that I know anything about the local stores in Denton, but I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Hime in a general sense. Just about the time I think that "almost any store will stock XYZ release (which I have foolishly thought to be considered somewhat mainstream - and BoC is a great example)", I stop at 4 or five of them in order to grab it real fast and become re-acquainted with reality. K-Mart just ain't gonna have it. Back when Best Buy first came out, they tried to widen their clientele base by having stuff like that, but gone are those days. You might find it at Borders if you're lucky, but unless you're in a college town or have an indie/electronic based store handy, your best bet is having a David Hodgson or PJ Dorsey in your email address book. There's always FE as well (and who could forget Boomkat or Smallfish if we're thinking globally), but the 'net is where you'll get it. jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
