As a former Professional Rock Critic, I have too many CDs (over 1000 at last count, all anally sorted alphabetically and by genre). About a month ago, I pulled out about 70 to sell, but CD Warehouse on Oak Lawn (since closed) only wanted about 50. So I offer the remainder to you, my faithful readers, free of charge. Let me know if you want any of them. (If you’re in the Dallas, Toledo, Rayne, Boston, or Rochester area, I’ll give ‘em to you when I next see you; if you’re not, you pay for shipping. Starred ones might be worth a little extra consideration. And the first five takers get — free! — a one-yen coin. With variable exchange rates, that could someday be worth as much as $8 million.)

Deckard, Stereodreamscene / The Ernies, Meson Ray* (slightly smarter Blink 182 wannabes) / The Gufs, Holiday From You / Portable, Secret Life / Wade, Odd Man Out / Home Grown, Act Your Age* (ska punk) / Rob Dewar, Opening Night Jitters (Ann Arbor singer/songwriter) / lisahall, isthisreal?
