[Part 1 text/plain (0.9 kilobytes)] (View Text in a separate window) 

Mike Bennett's article at fufkin.com does a good job of detailing the evils 
of Best Buy, in particular the practice of pushing major label releases out 
the door at below cost.

So I see this week they are offering The Thorns for $7.99.

Is this practice less offensive when it has the potential to bring exposure 
to the kind of music we enjoy talking about here?  Admittedly, The Thorns is 
a little MOR, but if it is a modestly sucessful seller, could this result in 
the domestic release of Sweet's Kimi Ga Suki (which today would cost me $32 
to own...)?

I seldom shop Best Buy, but I can't help but think this has the potential to 
benefit us all, including our favorite online retailers.
