once in my life i have extra cash. i am in desperate need ofr new music.
.... can't order anything abroad (no credit card available, no online shop accepts method i could use).
record shops suck. i never find the stuff i want there.
i have no other choice than to order cds from one online store that sends with check :( no vinyl :(( why must life be so hard?
anyways heres my latest order: Björk - Vespertine Blur - Best Of Biosphere - Shenzou Radiohead - Amnesiac
(why so many good artist start with a or b?!)
am i the only one who finds music buying almost impossible?

Get "13" if you like blur, as well as their self titled album.
I was very pleased with D'arcangelo's "Broken Toys Corner" and I'm surprised that it is rarely spoken about on this board.

I'd be dead without a credit card. The shops here have practically no good electronic or ambient music.
Do you have a bank account? Then you could at least buy stuff from ebay and half.com with paypal.

yeah, it's tough sometimes for me when I go into the record store with intentions to buy. So many good albums that I want to get, it's usually a pretty difficult decision unless I alread know exactly what I want.

ahh you speak the truth young padawan. Being a perther, (perth being the only major city on the west side of australia) my selection is hugely limited, i have yet to find a single shop having everything i'm looking for.
There are like 3 shops in the city that i know of that sell anything like what i want, and all 3 are big commercial ones. therefore i have major trouble finding anything remotely near my standard.

Get a credit card, it's should be easy to get if you're older than 16.

i know things are tough for you people abroad, but you americans have no excuse. as old as you are it's downright embarassing if you don't have a bank account by now (what're you thinking?). and if you have a bank account, most banks give debit cards for free. they double as credit cards, like my visa debit card, meaning you can easily order things online. there are a plethora of independent online stores that specialize on the sort of music this web site is about, and there are tons of corporate sites that offer absolutely free shipping (my favorite is bn.com cos they have free shipping, the best prices, a great selection, AND i get additional discounts).

if you dont find bjork, blur or radiohead where you live, yes you can say thats hard, but there for me its the same with aphex autechre squarepusher, etc, if they have the artist, they just have one or two albums.. and the most easy to find, so i have to order on the net with cheques too :( but its great theyve got everything

What about this neetta?
Just find out online what you want to have, and just drop name, title at your local record store. Cant they order it for you?

Vespertine is amazing, so is amnesiac (don't know the other two and -might i add- how the hell is it possible you forgot you already have Amnesiac?! :-p)
But finding records can be hard... (tomorrow i'm going all the way to belgium to buy a cd... everyone thinks i'm crazy to do so much effort for just a cd, hehe ;-)) i'm thinking more and more of getting a creditcard. I'll have to find out how much exactly it'll cost me.
Anyway, i found that sometimes if you write these people (for instance the warp-site) a nice letter/e-mail explaining your problem of not having a creditcard. Sometimes, if the right person reads it :-) You'll get lucky and they'll allow you to just send over some cash or work something out otherwise. I have managed to order some books and cd's in this fashion.

surrounded > im a stoner, i forget alot
i bet THOSE records would have been in the shop, excluding maybe biosphere. there is only one record shop in whichs ordering abilities i count and thats in my old home town.
and as for that debit card thingy, i used to have this card called visa electron. maybe its the same? i have never heard it being used in a way like this.

try it if you still have it. i know in america debit cards can be used just like credit cards 99% of the time (they're usually even sponsored by companies like visa, which is what mine is).

yeah, it was basically a card that could be used in shops to pay but i took the money directly from my account. it also could be used abroad. i need to dig it up then perhaps.
