I was tagged in July on Facebook with the note below. I think I will make it a weekly meme of some sort just to see what comes up each time.
Once you’ve been tagged… (1) Turn on your MP3 player. (2) Go to SHUFFLE songs mode. (3) Write down the first 15 songs that come up–song title and artist–NO editing/cheating, please. (4) Choose some number of people (more than zero, fewer than all) to be tagged. It is generally considered to be in good taste to tag the person who tagged you. (Edit: If you’ve already done this note and had the nerve not to include me, feel free to just forward your original one my way — these things take too much work as is.)
If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about your musical tastes, or at least a random sampling thereof.
(To do this, go to “NOTES” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, enter your 15 Shuffle Songs, Click ‘Preview’ below to tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click Publish, the little blue box at the bottom of your screen).

Let’s go CD shopping!
Back in the day before the internet ruled the earth and people went to malls etc…
What was your favorite record store?
When I was a teenager, I always shopped at Birdland Records in Virginia Beach, VA. Great selection and great service.
Are there any non-chain stores that you still frequent for your music needs?
Not really. I only buy CD’s if they’re of a decent price (I won’t pay more than $12 if possible). Or I just put it on my Christmas wishlist for family to buy for me. Otherwise, it’s digital downloads for me (iTunes, eMusic).
What was your favorite “find” at your favorite store?
In the summer of 1989, I bought what became my favorite album by the BoDeans – Home (featuring “You Don’t Get Much”)
