Remember grab bags? I loved them. When I swam competitively I remember Speedo would have bathing suit grab bags. You would get the bag with your size and there would be some random patterned suit in it. I preferred it over picking my own suit. I was buying my own surprise. Tunes, a CD store in Marlton, New Jersey had CD grab bags and in High School I would go there and buy one and there would be 3 crappy CDs in there by people I had never heard of. I always took them home, listened to them, and more often than not, sold them back to the store using that money to purchase another grab bag and the cycle continued.I am currently compiling an easy breezy spring mix for y’all but I can’t seem to get it just right so it might take me a couple more weeks. In the meantime I am going to do my own grab bag CD offer. Post or email me and I will burn you a few random CDs and send them in a stapled brown paper bag just like a real old fashion grab bag. How can you pass up an offer like that? I am really going to mix it up so you may get Stevie Nicks with Judas Priest and maybe some Uncle Tupelo thrown in there too. Who knows what I will come up with?!

count me in for a grab bag. they used to have pink bags fro girls and blue bags for boys at the dollar store. i always wondered what the difference would be between boy dollar store crap and girl dollar store crap. not saying i don't shop for, and kinda love, dollar store crap. maybe girls get scented candles and cucumber melon lotion, and boys get a box of toothpicks and shaving cream. who knows?
I will take a grab bag. I am always up for a musical surprise.
They still have the dollar store grab bags. I have never thought of getting one. Maybe I will get one of each for the hell of it. I mean, they are only a $1, right? If it is truly crap, I didn't waste too much on it.
I want a grab bag too!
We can get together and I'll return your photos.
