Stopped here during a lunch break- I'd love to be able to say that it was a strategic decision since it meant that I wouldn't be able to spend the time (and money) that I would've had I had more to spare, but I bumped came across mostly by accident.
I walked in and straight to the CDs as I didn't want to look like a newb (I also had a purpose: to find anything by a certain band that contains a certain song that I'm supposed to learn). As I was browsing, the music playing in-house caught my ear as soon as I had time to mind what I was hearing. Actually, the music demanded my attention. Artsy, proggy, funky jazz with horns? Yes, please!
"Who's this playing?"
"Um... Actually, I don't know, let me check... Oh, Curlew. Yeah, it's kinda quirky. It's got some prog, jazz..."
"Cool, thanks. I like it."
So I made it a point to go later and grab it when it's not being played. I didn't want to deprive the other patrons of it, nor did I want to be 'that guy' that goes "ok, I'll take it."
Ended up leaving with nothing I was looking for, but with two things I needed but wasn't looking for because they're not things you'd expect to find at a lot of places- jeez, am I portraying myself as a hipster...
I will be back, Vinal Edge; I will be back.
