   SUnPYG isn't my favorite Zappa album, but I can listen to and enjoy   
   it.  Can't say the same for the 2-disc "Guitar" set.  My reaction to   
   that one is the same as yours to SUnPYG - it all sounds the same and   
   gets boring fairly quickly.

   There's still a used CD store near here called 2nd and Charles.  They   
   also sell used books, movies and video games.  I just unloaded a small   
   pile of books and a couple CDs there yesterday (for $4 in store   
   credit, woo-boy).   
      
   They keep the books in meticulous order, but for some reason the CDs   
   are so scattered that you're lucky if you find a band under the right   
   letter of the alphabet, much less in any kind of sorted order.  They   
   also have a big wall of "bargain" CDs that aren't in any order at all.   
      
      
   I've bought a few CDs there when I've had lots of time to browse, but   
   usually it's not worth the effort.  Most of the artists they're   
   selling I've never heard of, partially because it's stuff no one   
   wants, but mostly becaue I've been completely out of touch with   
   popular music for the last 20+ years.
