Rob’s musical taste is an Exclusive Company grab bag

So for Christmas, Rob got Guitar Hero World Tour. I think he suggested I would like the music more than I have. Guitar is not my favorite thing and honestly, I am at fault here, expecting Guitar Hero to have more for me. Harp Hero woudl have been more like it.

Rob has been playing The Joker by Steve Miller. A lot. So when we went to get hair cuts on Friday night, he went to the Exclusive Company. He found a Steve Miller CD for $4, which seemed a coup. We got hair cuts and he was telling me about the grab bag. I love grab bags. There is nothing more alluring than whatever crap the store can’t sell wrapped up and sold, sight unseen. What hidden treasure will it be? This seems to be genetic–my mom and Miranda also love grab bags.

Rob told me about the $4 grab bags–10 CDs or DVDs! In a black paper bag! I begged to know what he had gotten. But Rob is not addicted to grab bags and he has better adapted to Frugality 2009! than I have. We decided the grab bag was too cheap to ignore. We returned, bought the first bag, went to the car. I couldn’t even wait until we stopped for coffee.

The first CD was the best 45s of 1960-66. We picked out 203 songs we might have paid $0.69 each for on iTunes. OK, we’re doing OK.

The second CD was the Steve Miller band. The same CD Rob had bought from the Exclsuive Company. For $4.

I couldn’t stop laughing. I am still laughing when I think about it.

CD’s 3-10 featured a Soul II Soul CD that Rob owned on cassette in HS, The Best of the Doobies that we have at home already, some Stevie Wonder covers, Will Smith Wild Wild West era, and some other stuff.

I can’t wait to go back.
