just curious to what other bands people collect for? myself + bree usually look out for: besides SP + zwan, there are silverchair, muse, placebo, NIN, bowie .... but at the moment with absolution - im wanting to get some serious Muse stuff!  so post other bands you like, coz we may have stuff we don't want/need anymore and would like them to go to a good home. oh and for radiohead fans, a store here in Perth [www.78records.com.au] have every radiohead album on vinyl, for about $35 each. They do shiping and stuff, so if your interested  |

I've tried to collect every Oasis single and rarity, but I haven't gotten very far on that . Other than that, probably only Pumpkins, Radiohead and Coldplay. |

JB had this huge promo thingy on the front check out in the city, and i was gonna ask them what they wer gonna do with it! It was a white poster thingy with coldplay written on it, then touring nationally, and the album cover thingy on it, looked poretty cool.
Anyone know what they do with them afterwards?

Hey Scott, re the Coldplay poster, I've found personally that record stores are very reluctant to give stuff out, whether because their staff want it or they are just bastards. Alot of the time they say that they need to send it back to the record company, but I reckon that's crap. Maybe you should slip them a brown paper bag under the counter to sway the decision (whether you fill the bag with money or flaming poo is your call).
How have other people gone asking for stuff from record stores?

I've tried to collect every Oasis single and rarity, but I haven't gotten very far on that . we saw a some at Blowfly records + also at Planet Video [in their cd's] ... they had some singles ... also ... some record stores are good and some are EVIL. Dada's in perth, the old vinyl guy - Rob ... HE IS EVIL! ... wouldn't sell me the Machina poster ... rrr ... and then he sells it to some lil teenie bopper ....  ... even though i got one now .. its besides the point! Also Mills records in Freo. They have a awesome system. The huge promo things they have you can bid for them. Just leave your name and how much you want to pay. Bree and I picked up this HUGE Zwan thing for $25 ... we had to break it in half though, couldn't fit in the car. .... and if your lucky at Mills you'll get served by Chris from jebediah .... |

Both my younger sister and my girlfriend have gone in there to buy things for me and said he freaked them out and was quite rude to them when they asked him a question. He's never been particularly nice to me either - i went to put an ad up on their message board, and I asked to borrow his pen so I could write the date on it, and he looked at me as though I was the biggest scum ever. |

*pause*

I find the best stuff to collect is pumpkins cos they have some of the best b-sides and stick unrelased tracks on their singles.
+ i'm a student with no job, so i am poor as hell.
