Best Buy has a very scattershot selection of folk and world music but
they do stock a bit.. Their selection seems to be almost completely
random..

One of the used CD shops on South University is gone. Disc-go-Round,
I think it was. We saw the vacant storefront as we left Tower
tonight. No loss in my life. Used CDs are still an area where a local
shop can trounce a chain, i guess.

Ooh...I heard the tail end of a Yat Kan track on the radio a while back, and
I've wanted to hear more ever since, but my music wish-list is soooo long.
What do you think of them, Anderyn?

They're interesting. Not something I'd listen to everyday, but neat.
I particularly like the fact that there are several different styles of
throat singing, and that tehy've managed to integrate traditional tunes and
melodies with a rock beat. I'd give them thumbs up.

<nods> I wasn't sure I'd want to buy their CD blind, but maybe I'll keep an
eye out for them.

I've just ordered the finally release Pete Townshend "Lifehouse" CD set, frem
his direct sales site eelpie.com. At about $63 plus shipping it is not cheap
(well, it *is* 6 CDs), so y'all might wait until I can post a review of some
sort.

I've been thinking about that one....the shiping is waht's the killer though
unless they sorted it out a bit. Early on it was about 18 pounds of
shipping (18x1.6=USD!)

Speaking of large boxed sets, I recently read a review of a Teldec (I think)
release of the Complete Works of J.S. Bach on CD. 12 "volumes" / 153 CDs /
$1,200 / weighs 22 pounds.
A company called Hansler has put out its own boxed set of 170 CDs, and claims
Teldec's eedition isn't really complete.

I've seen that in a Columbia House catalog. Probably it's just my ignorance,
but I hadn't heard of any of the featured performers
(I could find the list if anyone's curious)

Just to put it in perspective, if you listened to that 153-CD Bach set
as a regular full-time job, 40 hours a week, it would take you a month
to listen to the whole thing. (That's assuming 70-minute CDs.) Even I
wouldn't want quite that much Bach.
I figure it would have taken close to 220 LPs, using standard timings,
to carry that much music. Anybody care to figure out how much that
would weigh?
I read somewhere that it would take 75 years to copy out all of Bach's
music by hand. This struck me as curious, as the composer only lived to
be 65. Possibly the figure included instrumental and vocal parts.

That number may also assume careful, legible handwriting, which Bach's wasn't.

Still, even if you divide that in half, to only 37.5 years, one wonders
where Bach found time to sire his musically talented progeny..

For those with East Lansing connections: (Michigan) Where House Records is
selling "all" CDs at 30% off for the month of March, the MSU store
only. I got "Led Zepplin III" and the new Ali Farka Toure' for about $12
each.
East Lansing Tower has marked down everything in the Celtic bins for
St. Patrick's Day; I'm guessing that sale is chain-wide.

Ann Arbor sale: SKR and SKR Classical, 30% almost all discs.
Sale should run through Sunday April 9. Owner Jim Leonard was
complaining about how cheap the prices were.

Oh, I think he was being a little humorous there, maybe my comment needed
a little smiley face.
It's interesting though that both SKR and East Lansing's Where House have
run 30% clearance sales in the last month. I haven't seen a discount
that deep in quite a while.
