Can't get no satisfaction

The Girl is enjoying my Weird Al Yancovic DVD of music videos so much that I decided to stop by the local mega-store of CDs and DVDs, to see if there were any other Weird Al (or, They Might Be Giants) DVDs on the market.

There may be -- but the store doesn't carry them. Also only a handful of Weird Al CDs -- and **not** any of the recent ones!


Sheesh!

Maybe this is why folks are buying their albums online...?

Nah. This is why people don't shop at mega-stores.

Well, I also tried it at a smaller (but still, "chain" store).

Somewhere online is a good article on "the long tail" -- about how the greatest number of sales for Amazon.com, iTunes, etc., is off the "tail" of their list of products -- i.e. NOT the top-100 items.

Maybe I just have weird tastes.
