I don't know if you're being silly or not, but I didn't think this was
very smart or funny.  I often shop the used bins, looking for artists
I'm not familiar with, or things I never bothered to pick up on CD
because I didn't want to pay full price for something I'd only listen
to a few times.  Personally, if I were me (which I am) and I had heard
all this talk about Kate but didn't know who she was, I would *jump*
at finding a used disc.

Sigh... I think I'm taking things much too seriously.  Sounds like I
need a vacation.  Again.
