It's dangerous on Boylston Street: Looney Tunes has half-price sale on all CDs...

It's dangerous in here, I said today in Looney Tunes, the used music store up on Boylston Street. Yeah, but it's only half as dangerous as it used to be, came the reply.

Every CD and DVD is on sale for half price during February, so stuff that's already outrageously cheap is so hard to resist.

I stopped myself after five for twenty bucks. Damn economy. Unemployment just isn't going to cover my habit.

Got:
The Jayhawks: Hollywood Town Hall
The Jayhawks: Tomorrow the Green Grass
Alejandro Escovedo: Gravity
Guy Clark: The Essential Guy Clark
Golden Smog: Down by the Old Mainstream

Well, you can pretty much see my tastes right there. But the place is filled with every genre. Always a great place to stop when you're in Boston.

Looney Tunes used record store in Boston

I haven't been to Looney Tunes up on Boylston near Berklee across Mass Ave. in years, not since I was rehearsing for A Few Good Men in Boston when I dropped a lot of cash on jazz CDs, which I was into at the time.

Walked in today and came out with Chris Knight's The Jealous Kind for five bucks.

Asked about anything by Gillian Welch, but specifically was looking for Orphan Girl. They didn't have it, but after only a short pause, the proprietor told me I might find her in country or folk. That's pretty good, considering I got the impression I could have asked for just about any genre, although Welch is kind of local, having gone to Berklee.

It's a nice little treasure on Boston.
