I've been meaning to post this Pitchfork feature, "Castoffs and Cutouts: The Top 50 Most Common Used CDs" for some time now, but I just haven't had the inspiration to blog much these days. The feature is enjoyable and informative, and I got a little bit of gratification of guessing the #1 most common used CD. Check it out, and you may get some good tunes on the cheap.
Today, Pitchfork has one of the funniest news items I've read in along time. This story relates how bubblegrunge producer Butch Vig suffered $50,000 in damage after a runaway backhoe collided with his recording studio. Although its not quite as tragic as the losses Sonic Youth suffered when their studio and gear were destroyed in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, the story notes Garbage's next album may be delayed as a result of the incident.
Finally, as the proprietor of infobong.com, I would be remiss in not pointing readers to this story about an Australian schoolgirl who, as a show-and-tell presentation, demonstrated how to build a bong out of a coke bottle.
There must be considerable variation in what shows up in the used bins; I've never seen most of those titles used, and there were only a handful that jumped out at me as particularly common.
