"The Rolling Stones" Thread

Fuck if I know. There always seems to be old folks in there no matter what day it is.

I do, maybe once or twice a year. Beats the Hell out of WalMart.

And relevant to this thread, I did find the Exile on Main Street Bonus disc at Target back when the remaster was released in 2010. As opposed to needing to buy the entire album again, which I had already done for the CBS & Virgin remasters.

I haven’t been in a Walmart in ten years. Last time I was in one it smelled just like Stanley Market in Hong Kong because it was full of cheap Chinese junk just like Stanley Market is.

What gets me is that all pre-orders of the new album completely sold out in Target stores.

Now, ask yourself, who shops for CDs and vinyl at a god damn Target?

Although, not to be contrarian about it, now that I think about it both my local Walmart and Target do have a section in their respective electronics departments that has newer pressed vinyl of contemporary releases...that 'special limited edition vinyl' edition stuff of whatever artist.

However, to your point, neither of those stores have a tremendous amount of either in-store inventory or different artists for whatever there is in vinyl. It's like, maybe a single display rack or two.

All I know re: Hong Kong is that from what I learned as a kid apparently King Kong plays Ping Pong with his Ding Dong there.

That is definitely Charlie on "Mess It Up". The only drummer who could ever make disco listenable.

Looks like it's all on YouTube already, officially.

Album review from AARP. No, I'm not kidding. And because it's AARP, they mention the age of everybody who plays on the record.......
