argh! what is it about record stores, anyway?

[<@EDDIE.MIT.EDU:lander01@gumedlib.georgetown.edu>]

well, folks, i've been looking for some of the "other" music i've been reaing
 about here.  mouth music i found, finally, after three weeks of looking (
extended by the additional trouble of finding a cd instead of a cassette).
 
this past weekend i went to the great tower records, you know, the definitive
 store-- they still don't have a copy of mouth music.  they also didn't have
loreena mckennitt or tori amos.  what kind of conspiracy is this?  they also
didn't, and still don't, have any copies of rm/citw.
 
and i can't find a copy of tww even in the alternative suburban stores (they
must be sold out already, now that i will actually have the money to buy a
copy)
 
is dc that far behind in the music scene?????
(it also really peeves me that in order to find some of the more collectible
things i have to go out to suburbia...)
 
just griping... but if there are dc folks who have found tori amos or loreena
mckennitt, please please please let me know where!
