SB in Ft Bragg

avatar

We vacationed in Ft Bragg Ca (N Cal coast) a couple months ago. My wife found the new Police disk with the classics on it. We listened to it many times in between the kids CDs on our way back to Portland. Now if they had the GD CD I might have not bought it only becasue I have so many great shows and my Police bootlegs sound like someone stuffed a tape recorder in their pants. (mental picture) .... Good for SB to let the folks who might not otherwise be familiar with the GD get an idea of what we like etc... Thanks Mr Star-Buck...

the Starbucks website is refusing to accept my feedback comments about this collection..all I said was that it was better than Lily Allen!

Luckily for you, Lily Allen now has her own topic here.

Starbucks?

I don't know what to think about this move. My first impression is, "No sir, I don't like it."

How about a View From The Vault 5, Dicks Picks - The Next 36, Download series and more releases like Nightfall Of Diamonds, Dozin' At The Nick, Terrapin Limited, Truckin' Up To Buffalo ect ect ect ect............................

My Review

Going to the Starbucks music sight and previewing the tracks, theres nothing new here. Seems to be a rehashing of previously available tracks in a sampler/compilation.

nothing new...

I don't think the Starbucks release was for us, the extant fanbase. I think it was meant to be that sampler/compilation to re/introduce the music to some folks who haven't been paying attention all this time. and from what I see here in San Diego, it's selling like crazy.

it was morely meant for

the baby boomers-no offense to any of you, but think about it. mccartney, dylan, and the dead. all 3 are favs of mine (40 years old). but the boomers who were young and hip when these 3 were either at their peak(the mac, dylan), or crazy- hip-screw -the -establishment- yet- humble beginnings in the days of haight ashbury. NOW the boomers have all the cash, are ready to retire, but---don't want to feel old. so, why not give 'em what they had when they were young???? like mentioned above, nothing new on this disc-so surely not for the long-haul fan. this is for the aging hipster-the usual crowd at you local sb's. the LEXUS suv driving ozone sucking suburbanite who thinks its is now the hip thing to do to overpay for a cup o'joe. what happened to you??? remember sharing food at woodstock for free???
just my freaking opinion

nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

Not Bad

The coffee isn't worth the price to me. I was wondering if they play the discs in house to advertise or just sell only?

don't take it the wrong way

i am of the hippie ideal. i loved the boomers' ideas, and their balls to do what's right. but too bad so many of them lost their values along the way
