True - I should not have said the thing about GWAR to him.

I feel terrible about it.

If you would of put Celine Dion with Townes Van Zandt, your apology would have been warranted. I love Belle and Sebastian but any uptight ding dong in too tight pants with messy hair and a penchant for PBR needs a little Gwar. Seriously.

I totally relate, and think you did the right thing. Last year I was there, and asked one of the clerks if they had any mash-ups, and the guy did the same eyeroll/scowl thing to me. It caught me off guard! That's not how you're supposed to get treated at what's supposed to be a mecca.

Death to music stores, long live downloading.

I've never talked to a more rude motherfucker as him at any store. That guy in Amoeba Records DOES HAVE SHIT on his forehead and shoulder. Rolling of the eyes is his trade mark; and it means I have a teenagers job and make $5.25 an hour (if that) and I am on a 365/24 man period.

Everyone, please be kind and send this guy and the 'bing' some tampons and some change. Maybe then the anonymous 'bing' can afford the L'' and become 'Bling'. Till then, he's just a professional deuchebag.

You anonymously troll the internet all day and are calling someone else out on posting under another name?

Congrats, 'Bing', after you get that shit off your face, I am going to proclaim you as DOUCHEBAG OF THE DAY. Maybe even the year.

Since they're too much of a pussy to say their name, how about we try to guess who this mysterious man (or woman...?) is? Who's game?!

You're either:

a) Some white belt wearing, black haired indie rock twat, who Trent neglected to give enough press coverage to.

b) A serial blogger who gets off on humiliating people that they're too afraid know are smarter than them.

c) The douchebag record store clerk, himself.

d) A friend of Trent's, taking a piss.

e) Everett True.

Let the readers decide.
