Goodwill Hunting, Disc 1: It’s Not That Far If You Measure In Centimetres…
Source: Goodwill, Thrift Shops
My brother and I decided to visit one of the Goodwill stores in Brooklyn last weekend. He wanted to check out a bunch of things but I (of course) went straight for the CDs. Man, there was quite a selection! Shelves and shelves of CDs, and after spending a little over an hour scrupulously going through them (hey, they’re $1.99 a pop), I hear my brother call from a short distance, “Oh wait, there’s even more.” Yup, there sure was.
This time they were bins of CDs from well-known artists. Rush (pretty much every album by them), Yes, The Beatles (Abbey Road — can you believe it?), Nirvana, the list goes on. I spent about another hour going through those!
Anyway, back to the first stop — the shelves. As you know, I love to hear all kinds of music. There was a homemade mix CD that caught my eye, which is the reason for this post (others will follow). Luckily for you I created a Spotify playlist, all except track 19 by Whitey Houston — at first I thought it may have been a typo in the name, but that wouldn’t go at all with the rest of the tracks. Without further ado…
