Just as a bonus edition of Tried To Buy, neither hubby nor friends of hubby have been able to find the newest Beirut CD (The Flying Club Cup, released Oct, 2007) for less than $26.99.
Granted, it's an import in Canada through Outside music, so it's not going to be a cheap release, but several Canadian online retailers have it for under $17.00 and in stock, including HMV, selling it on their website for $15.99, with a list price of $19.99.
HMV is selling the same CD for $26.99 in their bricks and mortar stores.
If the music industry wants consumers to purchase music... why is it becoming so tough?
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."

About This Blog
Every week I try to buy CDs. Every week I struggle to find the CDs I'm looking for. Every week I come home to hear dire predictions for the future of the music industry.
Is it really the consumer's fault? Or has the music business completely lost their way in their basic task -- getting music to the music fans?

About Me

- I love music. I've worked in music journalism, retail, operations, distribution and e-commerce, with a touch of buying thrown in for amusement. Then I bolted for another career and became just a regular music consumer. What a shock that was.
