Okay so here I have (all original) 'Rumours' - Fleetwood Mac [$3], an Atari 2600 Pacman cartridge [$3] and one Atari 2600 Space Invaders cartridge (probably broken) [$3].
I spent about an hour having a gander hither and thither and I found nothing that I urgently needed/wanted, then I came across this album that I've never heard, but I'd heard about it being a cornerstone in pop culture (in the neutral sense, equally good/bad) so I spared my coffee money for it. I got a few scoffs and giggles when I was walking around with it tucked under my arm, yes! Good sign...
The Atari games were a last minute impulse buy that I'm glad I found, the space invaders cartridge looks to be broken but I mean come on, these are the original two video games, the original two video games, and I don't own an Atari or plan on buying one soon, but I felt it was a wise choice that even Merlin would have made. (I had a look at ebay value for these guys but in much better condition they only go for about fifteen dollars.)
When I got home, I put Rumours on to give it a listen but...uh...it's a little warped.
And by that I mean a lot warped, still plays (mostly) until it gets to the point were the highs are low and the lows are high, if you get me. The first side of it (which I have a feeling is the better side) works fine with a little pitch change, but I can hear the classics, I can hear the classics.
So like, nine dollars all up, and uhh...I REGRET NUSSINK.
