Meet Pat Benatar at Changing Hands.  Win Tickets At Hoodlums.

Pat Benatar is coming to Changing Hands Bookstore to sign her new autobiography, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, on Saturday, July 24th.  Since she’s a rock and roller, even though she isn’t promoting music, we get to co-sponsor the event.

What does that mean exactly?  It means the bookstore is doing an event and we get to give you guys Pat Benatar stuff and mooch some of the Pat-generated attention. Hopefully it will mean I will get to meet Pat finally (she was my very first failed meet-and-greet… but I’ll tell you about that later) too.

Check out the event link for more information from the CHB kids on how you can meet Pat… and come to Hoodlums to enter to win tickets to the concert later that same night.

PS.  I’m sorry, but I simply can’t think of Pat without thinking of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It’s not my only memory.  You can watch “Record Store Geek meets Pat Benatar… 21 Years Later”, and I’ll tell you more.

Free with purchase value adds

We may have told you: The music business is crazy and shortsighted. We are still trying to get labels and artists to lower their prices on CDs and LPs (read our latest store-specific opinions on the biz here), but in the meantime… we are trying to rustle up as many value-add (the irony of such a term illustrates the craziness to which I refer) pieces to the line-up as we can.  Because while we’d rather see them drop the prices on their CDs, the stuff that they provide is still pretty cool… and we want you guys to have a shot at it.

Here’s what currently comes with the new CD or LP when purchased:
