Well, I may have to come down there and check it out. The only used LP/CD
place I know of around here is Plan 9, and they're pretty forgettable (at

A graduate student in the lab, who is a VA native, tells me that
Charlottesville and Blacksburg are really cool, and that Richmond is a
pit. And I had to end up in the pit! :-P :-)

A couple tunes are a bit heavier (or louder), but there's certainly
nothing unique or novel on it.
